Word-Error messages on first opening docx-file produced via officedown

[Pindar777]

Hi,

first of all thanks for this very nice and helpful combination of officer and rmarkdwon/bookdown!
I just came across the package when searching a proper way to get a column-output in word.

I managed to make use of the functionality.
However, even with simplest doxc-output I encounter one or more error messages on first opening the doxc-file in word.

A reproducible example is

---
title: test
output: 
    bookdown::markdown_document2:
        base_format: officedown::rdocx_document
---

[link to officedown](https://davidgohel.github.io/officedown/articles/yaml.html)

\@ref(ref-01)

# h1 {#ref-01}

How to avoid the corrupted docx-files?

Further:
And one setting (always on W10) when inserting the @ref() SLOC the link above of it gets destroyed.
I have to check this again, in order to make a reproducible example of the phenomenon.

Cheers

Can you write the exact message you have from word? I tried on my mac and on a Windows machine and everything was ok.
Maybe a screenshot?

And one setting (always on W10) when inserting the @ref() SLOC the link above of it gets destroyed.

I am sorry, I don't understand that. What does "W10" mean, what does "SLOC" mean?

[Pindar777]

Hi @davidgohel,

W10 should read Windows 10. 😅
And SLOC source line of code.

Ok, I'm gonna upload the screenshots and check back soon.

Could I do something more to help debugging the word document?

[davidgohel]

Yes, is it Word that told you the document is corrupted? I need the exact messages

[davidgohel]

You can also post the resulting docx file.

[Pindar777]

Yes, Word says it's corrupted and then it repaires the word and makes a new document

[davidgohel]

thanks

Could you make sure you have the latest versions of officer and officedown from CRAN? If not, update them and retry.

I you could post the resulting docx file, I could analyze the content and maybe identify the origin of the problem you have

[Pindar777]

I will do so.
Thanks in advance

Btw. I have one idea in terms of usability: the inline r commands stop with '
Then one has to directly write content.
IMHO a line break or a space after the ' should not be rendered in the output and hence improve the writing and reading experience of the rmd file.
What do you think?

[davidgohel]

What do you think?

It's knitr that do that, not me - sorry there is nothing I can do, officedown is only an extension to rmarkdown

[Pindar777]

I see. I dwell upon this again.
Later today I give you the needed infos. Could be the officer is not up-to-date

[Pindar777]

Dear @davidgohel,
Updating office got me rid of one error message. The "corrupted" file output now only results from using a user definined reference-docx (whichs opens without errors). As soon as a find the deeper reason for that, I check back.
Cheers

I found this solution: insert after ` and the text a "comment" via standard rmarkdown-syntax

[davidgohel]

OK, thanks,

I am closing the issue then

only results from using a user definined reference-docx

Open a new issue if you still need to and provide the template so that I can reproduce
