Inline R code seems to work well in some fields of yaml block, but not others. For example, this works as expected with an R generated date inserted into the date field:
---
title: "docx template"
author: "Dave Braze"
date: '`r format(Sys.time(), "%B %d, %Y")`'
output:
word_document:
toc: true
toc_depth: 2
highlight: "tango"
pandoc_args:
- --reference-docx
- resources/FDB-styles.docx
- --output
- docx-template-20170609.docx
---
But this does not, choking on the inline R in the pandoc_args section.
---
title: "docx template"
author: "Dave Braze"
date: '`r format(Sys.time(), "%B %d, %Y")`'
output:
word_document:
toc: true
toc_depth: 2
highlight: "tango"
pandoc_args:
- --reference-docx
- resources/FDB-styles.docx
- --output
- '`r paste0("docx-template-", format(Sys.time(), "%Y%m%d"), ".docx")`'
---
Here's the error I get:

It seems clear that the second bit of inline R is not being interpreted, but I don't know where to go from here. Any thoughts?
