Simple question: can I use texreg in a markdown (not LaTex) document in Rmarkdown using knitr?
I thought I could, but it seems I'm wrong? I can include LaTex code within Rmarkdown for equations but have no success for tables with texreg (at least when the remaining document is written in markdown.
I get this error:
pandoc document conversion failed with error 43
Irrespectively of whether I use texreg() (for LatTex), htmlreg(), or screenreg(), I don't get a decent table in the knitted PDF document.

title: "Title"
fontsize: 12pt
output:
pdf_document:
latex_engine: xelatex

Then trying to develop a table:
```{r Table_with_texreg, results="asis"}
library(texreg)
modellist = list(model1, model2, model3, model4, model5)
texreg(modellist, type = 'un',
summaries = c('ChiSqM_Value', 'ChiSqM_DF', 'ChiSqM_DF', 'ChiSqM_PValue', 'CFI',
'RMSEA_Estimate'), single.row=TRUE)
(Some of the arguments after texreg() are commands for the MplusAutomation package, specifying which parameters (unstandardized) and which model fit indices to use. Shouldn't be of any significance for the question/post.)
This is the LaTex code generated when knitting, resulting in coversion error 43:

P.S. Knitting to HTML (not PDF) and using htmlreg (not texreg) seems to work fine. I would have preferred to use PDF, though.
