Hi, I was looking through the tutorial and I'm a bit confused on how to edit the default YAML fields for the template. For example, if I change the title from "Report-Title" to "My New Title" in default.yaml, reinstall the package with devtools::install("mydown"), and open the custom template, the YAML still has the title as "Report-Title". However, if I edit inst/rmarkdown/templates/report/skeleton/skeleton.Rmd that will change the default title, but it is not listed in the instructions as one of the 3 customization points (inst/indiedown/default.yaml, inst/indiedown/preamble.tex, pre_processor.R). Would you be able to clarify how the fields should be customized?

Create a LaTeX document that uses colortbl.

We are looking for a language dependent date formatting that does not depend on the system. Current cd_format_date.R works differently on every system. Can we find a solution that does not depend on the system?

it is mentioned in the walkthrough

See https://github.com/cynkra/cynkrathis/tree/main/pkgdown/favicon for how this is done in {cynkrathis}.

When I create the mydown package as in the example, and then use the template without any editing, I'm getting an R code warning printed at the top

Hi,
in the first place, thanks for creating this package!

I'm trying to add headers and footers to my template, for which I'm adding the below code into preamble.tex:

%fancy headers
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead[L]{$title$}
\fancyhead[R]{ }
\fancyfoot[L]{ }
\fancyfoot[C]{ }
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}

In this part of the document, I would like to add the title and author, for which I would like to use YAML parameters from the Rmd file. According to what I've found here, this can be accomplished by passing the YAML parameters within $$ in LaTeX (e.g. $title$). However, when I add the code into preamble.tex, I get literally title printed on the pdf file (instead of the value of the title parameter).

Is there anything I am missing to configure to get the right result?
Thanks,
Carlos

Currently, {indiedown} does not depend on {tidyverse} in the technical sense that it imports, depends or suggests {tidyverse}, but the standard template calls library(tidyverse).

I suggest to remove this from the template since many people who even use the tidyverse packages are only using specific package like {dplyr}, {purrr} or {ggplot2}.

Let me know in case I may create a PR for this.

Could explain in more detail where these fonts are finally used und picked up within the .Rmd.

https://cynkra.github.io/indiedown/reference/use_indiedown_gfonts.html

On the github/development version of indiedown, changes to the .yaml file and using a different Google font do not appear to affect the final markdown template or output file. I have tried a clean installation of the package, adjusting the font to 24pt, and using the open sans font (google id: "open-sans"). After rebuilding the package with devtools::install and restarting R, the custom markdown template does not produce an output file with a different font or font size.

Should we use a "proper" License, like MIT?

derived from default LaTeX template? This removes one degree of freedom in the things we need to test.

Current problem: The included template always loads xcolor. We can't pass options to that package, it's too late. This affects svgnames (which are not available if colorlinks=false) and the table option that loads colortbl.

Upstream: jgm/pandoc#6524.

Maybe we can locate the default template included with pandoc, and tweak it? It's in /usr/share/pandoc/data/templates/default.latex on my system, no idea about macOS or Windows.

Check via Sys.getenv("R_COVR"), it will be "true" when covr is active.

In the README

devtools::install_github("cynkra/indiedown") -> remotes::install_github("cynkra/indiedown")

twocolumn: true is inferier to the multicol package. The latter does proper balancing out of the box but needs a few LaTeX tweaks. Should we host those tweaks here, with documentation?

So that text after \cleardoublepage actually starts on an odd page.

Perhaps optionally?
