Error in markdown with Weave.jl

General Usage

Hi all,

I just learnt that julia has markdown enabled by Weave.jl. I wanted to give it a try but I am having trouble creating a pdf document. Unfortunately, unlike Rmarkdown, there does not seem to be many resources available. Here is the file named doc.Jmd.

Why are you not working!

Then I run

weave('doc.jmd";doctype="md2pdf")

I get the following output with an error at the end.

! LaTeX Error: File `microtype.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Any help is appreciated.

Edit: I checked MiKTeX console to install microtype.sty but it seems to have already been installed…

Never mind. I figured out the problem. Weave was using a different LaTeX distribution installed on my PC. I installed the missing packages and it is working. I am wondering, though, if there is way to instruct weave to use a specific LaTeX distribution installed on a PC.
