Markdown is a super-friendly plain text format that can be easily converted to a bunch of other formats like PDF, Word and LaTeX.

Folders here?

• README.md => these instructions.
• chapters/ => directory holding different chapters
• appendix/ => directory to hold documents in the appendix
• images/ => directory to hold the images.
• style/ => directory to hold the style for latex

How do I get started?

• Install R and RStudio
• Istall A LaTeX distribution (for example, MikTEX for Window Based users).

How to download this

Download this folder and open the Wits_SPH_MSc_Thesis.Rproj file. Change the content in the chapter folder accordingly. If you have not used Rmarkdown check here http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/articles_intro.html After updating knit the studentNo_Name_report.Rmd file.

Adding on to this

There are lots of things that could be improved, like:

• improving the style of Word and TeX outputs.
• finding a way to add short captions for the tables, so that the lists of tables can be automatically generated.
