VUBmd contains templates to generate several types of documents with the identity of the VUB using Rmarkdown. The current package has following Rmarkdown templates:
- VUB slides: presentations rendered to pdf
- VUB article: articles rendered to pdf
The templates are available in RStudio using File > New file > R Markdown > From template and are called VUB slides and VUB article
VUBmd requires a working installation of XeLaTeX. We highly recommend to use the TinyTeX. Installation is done as follows.
- Close all open R sessions and start a fresh R session.
- Execute the commands below. This will install TinyTeX on your machine. No admin rights are required. Although TinyTeX is a lightweight installation, it still is several 100 MB large.
install.packages("remotes")
install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex()
- Once TinyTeX is installed, you need to restart RStudio. Then you can proceed with the installation of
VUBmd.
remotes::install_github("DIGI-VUB/VUBmd")
- Once the VUBmd R package is installed, you need to make sure the local_tex folder inside the VUBmd R package is used in tinytex. This is done as follows.
tinytex::tlmgr_install('tex-gyre')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('inconsolata')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('times')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('tex')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('helvetic')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('dvips')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('hyphen-dutch')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('hyphen-french')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('setspace')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('relsize')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('float')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('longtable')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('lscape')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('xcolor')
tinytex::tlmgr_install('soul')
tinytex::tlmgr_conf(c("auxtrees", "add", system.file("local_tex", package = "VUBmd")))
