I have a Rmd file open in Rstudio that I am trying to knit into html.

These are the first lines of the file:

—

title: “Project 2”

author: “do not enter your name”

date: “17/04/2024”

output: html_document

When I klick “knit”, the console switches to render and then displays the following error:

Error in yaml::yaml.load(..., eval.expr = TRUE) : 
  Parser error: while parsing a block mapping at line 1, column 1 did not find expected key at line 23, column 1
Calls: <Anonymous> ... parse_yaml_front_matter -> yaml_load -> <Anonymous>
Execution halted

My Rmd file has three data visualisations, and plenty of comments.

I tried the knit to html function via the knit button.

I also have this line further down before I load the data.

```{r setup, include=TRUE}

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

library(tidyverse)

```
