    While using RMarkdown in RStudio, with R-3.1.2, I found the following bug:
    Symptom: would not generate a PDF document.
    Error: the file rmarkdown/rmd/latex/default.tex has a wrong spelling for:
    \UseMicroTypeSet (it was \UseMicrotypeSet)

    After correcting in the above file PDF generation was smooth.
