Rmarkdown template3/28/2023 ![]() Note the reference to the CSS files and seal: false as mentioned. Government Digital top half of the code is the YAML that provides metadata for the R Markdown file. This is instead pre-specified for the user in the template: -Ĭss: ![]() Instead it’s an introduction slide that contains the speaker’s name, job, affiliation and Twitter handle.įor example, the user may not know to set class: title-slide and add seal: false in the YAML to override the creation of a default title slide. For example, the first slide of my organisation’s template doesn’t actually contain a ‘title’. The template itself is just a pre-filled R Markdown that shows the approved slide types and some example content. The design philosophy is important to the organisation. I also need to create an R Markdown template to demonstrate a restricted set of accepted slide designs. The style is not the only important part of recreating my organisation’s presentations. I’ve written a bit before about how to access Google Fonts for Blogdown’s Lithium theme. The order of dictates which font will be shown first and then which will be next if there’s a problem. The fonts.css file starts by importing from Google Fonts and then describes where they’ll be used.

When pandoc sees a dollar sign in your template, it thinks you want to plug in content from your R Markdown file. It turns out that dollar signs ($) have special meaning for pandoc, the program responsible for part of the journey from R Markdown to PDF. Let’s create a new R Markdown file with this content, and knit to PDF: -Īrgh, we get an error message: Error compiling template "plos_latex_template.tex" (line 57, column 121):Įrror: pandoc document conversion failed with error 5 tex file from PLOS as template for PDF output, and try to knit.įor example, if you go and download the PLOS LaTeX template, we get a folder that includes the file plos_latex_template.tex. ![]() ![]() Then create a new R Markdown document, tell it to use the.
