The goal of marco is to provide templates for some of the Rmarkdown
documents that I find useful. The Rmarkdown is powered by
bookdown which allows for all
sort of nice things, like cross-references and captions.
The most complete template is the one for creating a (LaTeX) beamer
metropolis presentation in Rmarkdown
powered by bookdown::beamer_presentation2. This template just
exemplifies all the things I tend to use and forget how to do: multiple
columns, scaled figures, hooks for having code of different sizes, etc.
Just a clean bookdown::htm_document2.
Just a clean bookdown::pdf_document2.
The package requires either an up-to-date version of RStudio or pandoc. If you want to create PDF- you additionally need a TeX distribution. If you have no use for TeX beyond rendering R Markdown documents, I recommend you use TinyTex. TinyTex can be installed from within R as follows.
if(!"tinytex" %in% rownames(installed.packages())) install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex()Otherwise consider MikTeX for Windows, MacTeX for Mac, or TeX Live for Linux.
marco is not yet available on CRAN but you can install it from this
repository:
#install.packages("devtools")
remotes::install_github("bnicenboim/marco")Once marco is installed, you can select the appropriate template when
creating a new Markdown file through the RStudio menus.
If polymode is installed you should be able to use
poly-r-rmarkdown-create-from-template.
Use the rmarkdown::render function to create templates.
For metropolis presentations:
# Create new R Markdown file
rmarkdown::draft(
"slides.Rmd"
, template = "metropolis-presentation"
, package = "marco"
, create_dir = FALSE
, edit = FALSE
)
# Render manuscript
rmarkdown::render("slides.Rmd")For the other templates, template should be "clean-html2" or
"clean-pdf2".
