`stringr::str_view` errors with Bookdown

Given with this

```{r}
stringr::str_view(c("alice", "bob"), "o")
```

I get an error:

Error: Functions that produce HTML output found in document targeting latex output.
Please change the output type of this document to HTML. Alternatively, you can allow
HTML output in non-HTML formats by adding this option to the YAML front-matter of
your rmarkdown file:

  always_allow_html: yes

Note however that the HTML output will not be visible in non-HTML formats.

Why is bookdown complaining about this? It seems that stringr::str_view is being executed unnecessarily.

EDIT: The desired result is a PDF with the stringr::str_view(c("alice", "bob"), "o") text and syntax highlighting.

See Section 2.10 on HTMl Widgets in the bookdown book at https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/html-widgets.html. Basically you need to install the webshot package and PhantomJS.

If you have enabled caching (via the chunk option cache=TRUE, e.g., https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown/issues/578), you have to remove cache files and rebuild the book.
