Rmarkdown thesis template adapted from Rob J Hyndman for University of Sydney
University of Sydney Research Thesis Rmarkdown Template
This repository provides a template for a University of Sydney Honour/Master/PhD thesis using Rmarkdown with the bookdown
R-package. This template is largely adapted from Rob Hyndman's Monash PhD Thesis Rmarkdown Template. It is designed for research students at the University of Sydney.
Difference to Monash Thesis
At this present moment (2018/07/28), the difference is minor. The major difference lies in the ability to customise the School/Department, University, Country, logo and some metadata of the pdf (subject and keyowrds) from the YAML of index.Rmd
.
Requirements
You will need to install the bookdown
R package.
install.packages('bookdown')
You will also need LaTeX installed. If you don't already have LaTeX, you can install here or use R:
install.packages('tinytex')
tinytex::install_tinytex()
Editor
It is preferred that you use RStudio for editing.
Getting Started
Once you download the template, either open the myThesis.Rproj
or go to the directory of the thesis folder. To compile the book run the following command at the console:
bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd", "bookdown::pdf_book")
The compiled thesis will be located in the folder compiled_thesis
.
For customisation, modify the yaml of index.Rmd
and _bookdown.yml
. Notice that you can include chapters written in tex.
