jss_article() used in vignettes requires Pandoc 2.7 with newer rticles version

[cderv]

Hi,

while preparing new release of rticles I found out that you were using jss_article() for vignettes.

Just a heads up that due to possible change in jss.cls, we needed to update the requirement of jss_article() to Pandoc 2.7+ (released 4 years ago on 2019-03-03)

So on system with pandoc < 2.7, building the vignette in your package will error.

Not sure this is a problem for CRAN release, if they to keep their Pandoc updated.

You may want to change your pandoc version test to 2.7 instead of 2.2 to be safe

Thank you @cderv for your suggestions. I will handle it in the forthcoming package version
