Package babel error

[rruiz-s]

Hi,

First of all thank you very much for sharing the amsterdown template. I would love to use it.

However, I got the following error:

**! Package babel Error: Unknown option 'dutch'.** Either you misspelled it
(babel)                or the language definition file dutch.ldf
(babel)                was not found.
(babel)                There is a locale ini file for this language.
(babel)                If it’s the main language, try adding `provide=*'
(babel)                to the babel package options.

Error: LaTeX failed to compile thesis.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See thesis.log for more info.

Since it mentions "babel error", I tried "sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-european" from this post.

Any idea about what I am doing wrong?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue. You're not doing anything wrong; I'm getting the same error.

Seems like something changed in the way pandoc is interacting with the babel LaTeX package. I'll have a look sometime in the next few days; I should be able to fix it by updating the template.

Hi,

It works again on my end; could you please try out the updated version to see if the problem is resolved for you as well?

remotes::install_github("lcreteig/amsterdown", ref = remotes::github_pull("25"))
