An Example with Its Repo

Repo: https://github.com/pzhaonet/bookdown-pku

Screenshots of the pdf output are as follows. Users can view .docx, .epub, .html, .pdf, and .tex.

Technical details

The pdf template of bookdown-pku originated from the LaTeX template 'CasperVector/pkuthss' . I modified it as 'tex/template_pku.tex', i.e. the title, author and abstracts were moved from the original LaTeX template to the yaml of 'index.Rmd'.

Re-use

  • Download the GitHub Repo.
  • Revise 'index.Rmd' and 'body.Rmd' as your own manuscript.
  • Build the book with R bookdown.
