我正在使用 R studio markdown 和 knitr，这些都是很棒的东西。
我似乎无法将希腊符号编织成 pdf。

P-value
In statistics, the p-value is a function of the observed sample results (a statistic) that is used for testing a statistical hypothesis. Before performing the test a threshold value is chosen, called the significance level of the test, traditionally 5% or 1% [1] and denoted as α. If the p-value is equal or smaller than the significance level (\alpha)
现在我在 linx mint 17 texlive 2013 Rstudio 版本 0.98.1062
结果：

Try running pandoc with --latex-engine=xelatex.
pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 43

结果是 pandoc 抱怨 alpha 符号。所以生成的latex好像不能处理符号...
我想让 R studio 正确处理这个问题，而无需手动更改 tex 文件...理想情况下...
有什么建议吗？
