I have an R package with custom templates at GitHub - amarakon/amaryaml: Amarakon's personal YAML for R Markdown. One of the rmarkdown templates is called "eisvogel". It uses a LaTeX template with the same name. Should I include the template.tex file in the resources directory of the template and include it that way or should I expect users to already have the template installed on their system? (See R/eisvogel.R)

You could definitely embed the template inside the package and

  • either keep it there and point to it when doing the render
  • copy locally to the user project as other resource and rely on that one after

As example, you can see what the rticles package is doing.
