Error: Pandoc options not recognised

[matt-dray]

Once #1 was fixed in the template, knitting errored in the following way:

pandoc: unrecognized option `--lua-filter'
unrecognized option `--resource-path'
Try pandoc --help for more information.
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 2
Execution halted

Possibly a version issue?

> pandoc_version()
[1] ‘1.19.2.1’

Yes, you need >=2.0. 5939ae7 adds a check.

I found this code quite useful in updating a pandoc version FYI @matt-dray @nacnudus https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53788391/installrinstall-pandoc-appears-broken
