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](https://github.com/robjhyndman/MonashThesis). 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.
```r
install.packages('bookdown')
```
You will also need LaTeX installed. If you don't already have LaTeX, you can install [here](https://www.latex-project.org/get/) or use R:
```r
install.packages('tinytex')
tinytex::install_tinytex()
```
## Editor
It is preferred that you use [RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com/) 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:
```r
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.
