Platform: Windows 10 Pro
Pandoc Version: 1.17.2
MikTeX Version: 2.9
I can't run this example successfuly. I've downloaded the svmono.cls and spbasic.bst under the root directory but still I'm having problems.
When running
"C:/Program Files/RStudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc" +RTS -K512m -RTS bookdown-demo-changed.utf8.md --to latex --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash --output bookdown-demo-changed.pdf --template "C:\Users\Altran\Documents\R\win-library\3.3\rmarkdown\rmd\latex\default-1.17.0.2.tex" --highlight-style tango --latex-engine pdflatex --variable graphics=yes --variable "geometry:margin=1in" --bibliography book.bib --bibliography packages.bib --filter pandoc-citeproc
I get the following error:
! LaTeX Error: Command \subtitle already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

pandoc.exe: Error producing PDF
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 43
In addition: Warning message:
running command '"C:/Program Files/RStudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc" +RTS -K512m -RTS bookdown-demo-changed.utf8.md --to latex --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash --output bookdown-demo-changed.pdf --template "C:\Users\Altran\Documents\R\win-library\3.3\rmarkdown\rmd\latex\default-1.17.0.2.tex" --highlight-style tango --latex-engine pdflatex --variable graphics=yes --variable "geometry:margin=1in" --bibliography book.bib --bibliography packages.bib --filter pandoc-citeproc' had status 43
In order to understand the error a little bit better, I've deleted the following lines from the default-1.17.0.2.tex:
\newcommand{\subtitle}[1]{
\posttitle{
\begin{center}\large#1\end{center}
}
}
And I don't have an error anymore. But the output is not like the one that you shared
What am I doing wrong?

Did you also make the changes in _output.yml like what I did above? template: null is important

yes.
Another thing that I forget to tell is that I am not running with the "Build -> Build All", I am trying to do this by run
rmarkdown::render_site(input = ".", output_format = "pdf_document")

This is supposed to work with bookdown::pdf_book, or the Build Book button. I'm not really sure if rmarkdown::render_site or pdf_document works.

Noted @yihui ! Thank you very much for the feedback!

Hi again,
This used to work for me, but something got updated (have recently installed Hugo, along with an update of many other R packages, perhaps it tinkered with some other files)... and it doesn't work anymore.
With a fresh default bookdown_demo directory where I added svmono.cls, svind.ist and spbasic.bst files, when building from RStudio I get this error:
output file: bookdown-demo.knit.md
! LaTeX Error: Command \proof already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
Error: Failed to compile bookdown-demo.tex. See bookdown-demo.log for more info.
Execution halted
Exited with status 1.
I also tried from the command line, with:
bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd", bookdown::pdf_book(keep_tex = TRUE))
and here I get a different, but similar error:
! LaTeX Error: Command \subtitle already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
Error: Failed to compile bookdown-demo.tex. See bookdown-demo.log for more info.
And this is the same error which is mentioned in the bookdown-demo.log file. I'd be grateful for any additional hint, thanks very much in advance.

I also get a LaTeX error:

I think the solution is to define a custom Pandoc LaTeX template (and don't define the \subtitle command): https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/templates.html but I don't have time for it.

I don't know why people keep asking LaTeX questions on this irrelevant commit on Github. This is not the right place for asking questions, and I'll ignore future questions here. Please read the guide https://yihui.org/issue/ and ask questions in other appropriate places. Thanks!
@boyasaanuo Please try remotes::install_github('rstudio/rmarkdown').
