title: R Markdown YAML "Scanner error: mapping values..."
body: <p>I have noticed this issue when knitting all file types (html, pdf, word). To make sure there's not an issue specific to my program, I went ahead and ran the default .rmd file you get when you create a new markdown. In each case, it does knit correctly, but I always see this at the end. I have searched online and here but cannot seem to find an explanation</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error in yaml::yaml.load(string, ...) : 
    Scanner error: mapping values are not allowed in this context at line 6, column 19
  Error in yaml::yaml.load(string, ...) : 
    Scanner error: mapping values are not allowed in this context at line 6, column 19
  Error in yaml::yaml.load(string, ...) :

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is my default YAML</p>
  
  <pre><code>---
  title: "Untitled"
  author: "Scott Jackson"
  date: "April 20, 2017"
  output: word_document
  ---
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Line 4, column 22 is the space between the 7 and "
  I'm not sure where Line 6, column 19 is, but that line is the dashes at the bottom</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
