wmrkdown

The goal of wmrkdown is to provide rmarkdown versions of various WMR document templates. Currently, a template exists for creating a WUR-style presentation using markdown (md) or R markdown (Rmd).

Installation

You can install wmrkdown from WUR git with:

devtools::install_git("https://git.wur.nl/wmrkdown/wmrkdown")

Make sure the required dependencies are available in your system:

install.packages(c("rmarkdown", "knitr"))

If you do not have LaTeX installed in your system, you can dio use via the tinytex packages

install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex()

Example

To create a new presentation, called "example", you can call

library(wmrkdown)

draft("example.Rmd",
  template="wur", package="wmrkdown")

A folder caled example will be created containing the following files:

• example.Rmd, the R markdown file for you to edit.
• default.jpg, the picture for the left handside of the front page.
• front.jpg, the picture for the right handside of the front page, taken from the WUR powerpoint template.
• logo.png, WUR's logo.
• beamerthemewurnew.sty, the LaTeX style file for WUR's presentation.

You are free to change the pictures, as long as you use the same names.

After working on the Rmd file, you can create the PDF output using

render("example.Rmd")
