The LaTeX class \"report\" provides a suitable format for that. This package provides a simple wrapper around this class built on the standard pandoc template.\n\nThis package leans on earlier work by [Aaron Wolen](http://aaronwolen.com/) in his\n[pandoc-letter](https://github.com/aaronwolen/pandoc-letter) repository, and extends it for use from\nR via the [rmarkdown](https://cran.r-project.org/package=rmarkdown) package. The structure of this package is heavily inspired by Dirk Eddelbuettel's nice template package [linl](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/linl).\n\n\nThe following screenshot shows on the left hand side the raw markdown file and on the right hand side the compiled pdf paper.\n\n![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebastiansauer/yart/master/docs/yart_screenshot.png)\n\n\n## Features\n\nBeing built on Pandoc, yart provides the typical features of Pandoc's Markdown, inculding citation, figures, tables and references thereto -- and basically, via a template, the fully featured LaTeX beauty. Being built on RMarkdown/knitr, R can be knitted into the text document.\n\nThe specific addon of this template is that it configurates a LaTeX template suitable for (academic) reports so that the user does not have to deal with the LaTeX peculiarities and can focus on writing/contents. There are a number of levers which can be adapted by the used in the yart template including author name, title, subtitle, address, date, referee's name, assignment name, school's name, due date.\n\n\n\n## Installation\n\nInstall via R from Github:\n\n```r\n# install.packages(\"devtools\", dependencies = TRUE)\ndevtools::install_github(\"sebastiansauer/yart\")\n```\n\n\n\nBe careful with `build_vignettes = TRUE` as it may provoke errors. To build vignettes, I recommend the R function `devtools::build_vignettes()`. Per default, no vignettes are built by `install_github()`, malheuresement.\n\n## Dependencies\n\n- [R](https://cran.r-project.org/) \n- [RStudio Desktop](https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/) (not strictly necessary, but recommended)\n- [LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/get/)\n- packages: rmarkdown and its dependencies (to be installed via R)\n\n\n\u003e   Please use the most recent versions of each software.\n\n\n\n## Example\n\n### Skeleton\n\nThe skeleton creates a very simple letter.\n\nSeveral formatting defaults are in use. See `help(yart)` for a\ncomplete list and default values.\n\n\n### Vignette\n\n\nYou can download the vignette [here](https://github.com/sebastiansauer/yart/raw/master/vignettes/examples/yart.pdf).\n\n\n\n## Usage - as a RStudio template\n\nFirst, open as a Markdown template via RStudio via *File \u003e New File \u003e RMarkdown \u003e From Template \u003e YART*. The template list or Rmarkdown should feature the YART template upon the package installation:\n\n\n![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebastiansauer/yart/master/docs/yart_template_rstudio.png)\n\n\nSecond, \"knit\" to document to pdf:\n\n![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebastiansauer/yart/master/docs/knit_to_yart.png)\n\n\nor use code such as\n\n```r\nlibrary(rmarkdown)\ndraft(\"my_report.Rmd\", template=\"pdf\", package=\"yart\", edit=FALSE)\nrender(\"my_report.Rmd\")\n```\n\nto create a first draft of a new `my_report.Rmd`.   \n\n\n\n## Usage - as a pandoc template\n\nOpen the file [yart-via-template.Rmd](./yart-via-template.Rmd), it calls the yart TeX template without reliance of the R package yart. Just adopt the content of this boilerplate file to you need. See [this file](./yart-via-template.pdf) to check the PDF output. \n\n\n## Demo video\n\n[![Demo video](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebastiansauer/yart/master/docs/video_thumbnail.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGnOlXur_D4\u0026feature=youtu.be)\n\n\n## Bugs, Feedback, Issues\n\nPlease report issues [here](https://github.com/sebastiansauer/yart/issues) along with a reproducible example if possible.\n\n\n## Related work\n\nA number of R packages for RMarkdown templates for PDF documents are available including\n\n- [linl](https://github.com/cran/linl)\n- [pinp](http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/pinp.html)\n- [rticles](https://github.com/rstudio/rticles)\n- [tint](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tint/index.html)\n\n\n## Author\n\nSebastian Sauer\n\n\n\n## License\n\nGPL-3 for this package, the work in [pandoc-letter](https://github.com/aaronwolen/pandoc-letter),\nas well as underlying Pandoc template.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsebastiansauer%2Fyart","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsebastiansauer%2Fyart","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsebastiansauer%2Fyart/lists"}
