`officedown::rdocx_document()` raises an error for `officer >= 0.7.0`

[trekonom]

Salut David,

today I stumbled over an issue with officedown after updating to officer 0.7.1. If I should guess this might be due to the new strike= parameter added in 0.7.0.

packageVersion("officedown")
#> [1] '0.4.1'
packageVersion("officer")
#> [1] '0.7.1'

foo <- officedown::rdocx_document()

foo$knitr$opts_chunk$tab.cap.fp_text
#> Error in data.frame(font.size = as.double(x$font.size), italic = x$italic, : arguments imply differing number of rows: 1, 0

Can you try to update it from source and let me know if it fix your issues ?

remotes::install_github("davidgohel/officedown", force = TRUE)

[trekonom]

Yes. That fixes the issue. Thx David.

[davidgohel]

We should wait before closing that issue as it implies I need to send a new release on cran to force build
