Hi Guys

Everytime I try to render a Quarto documento to PDF I got an error about LaTeX and xelatex, could you help me with that?
Working with Windows 10, R 4.2.1, RStudio 2022.07.1

Research direction

Start with the supplied YAML header and reproduce the PDF render on Windows 10 with R 4.2.1 and RStudio 2022.07.1, focusing on the reported LaTeX and xelatex error. The report does not name a source file or test and omits the complete .qmd file, so first determine whether the failure is reproducible; done means identifying the rendering failure and confirming a PDF can be produced.
