Pandoc is used to generate a PDF from an R markdown document that has a
chunk that generates a plot using ggplot2 and a custom function,
progress.plot. The chunk looks like this
```{r charts, echo=FALSE, fig.cap="Your progress curve"}
progress.plot(student)
```
The PDF is generated using a LaTeX engine. I think it uses PDFlatex via
pandoc. This is causing a problem that appears to be close to the pandoc
metal.
It seems like pandoc uses a temporary folder to store the diagram I
generate with ggplot2. The name of that folder has as underscore. This
means the path to the graphic file, a string that's used in the .tex source
file, has an underscore. And the latex compiler doesn't like that.
! Missing $ inserted.

The "_files" in the latex log snippet, above, is the name of a folder
created by pandoc (or Rmarkdown). I am getting a "Missing $ inserted"
error before the latex compiler craps out. No PDF is generated and the
directory with the figure is deleted.
Is there a pandoc configuration change to take the underscore out of the
temporary directory's name? Or is there any other workaround that will
allow me to generate figures to include in my R markdown document?
Thanks for whatever advice people can share.

If you're using this with RMarkdown (e.g. via RStudio) the problem most
likely lies in knitr or RMarkdown packages in terms of temporary
directories generated.

Thanks, Paul. I'm new to pandoc, so I wasn't sure which tree to bark up in
my troubleshooting. I'm posting a version of this question to the RStudio
community. Hadn't thought about knitr. Will bark up that tree, too.

Agreed: pandoc doesn't create any directories of that form.
It creates a temp dir but uses the system's temp dir function
to generate the name, and it wouldn't look like that.
