Installation

# The package isn't on CRAN - install the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("vktrsmnv/unima-template")
library(unima)

Usage

The easiest way to use the template is with RStudio, via File -> New File -> R Markdown.... In the dialog box, click 'From Template', then find the new 'Uni Mannheim Term Paper' option, choose a name for your manuscript (e.g., 'LastnameDataessay'), then click OK. Alternatively, you can run this line in the Console:

rmarkdown::draft(file = "LastnameDataessay.Rmd", template = "unima", package = "unima", create_dir = TRUE)

A new folder named LastnameDataessay is created, and you see an open LastnameDataessay.Rmd file.

If you click 'Knit', it compiles to the example PDF output with the illustration content from LastnameDataessay.Rmd.

By default, the template creates a subfolder inside you working directory folder (i.e. you Rstudio project). If you want the files instead to be added to your project directory without adding an extra subfolder, run this:

rmarkdown::draft(file = "LastnameDataessay.Rmd", template = "unima", package = "unima", create_dir = FALSE)
