• Clone this repo
• Delete .git
• Delete preview.png
• $ git init
• $ git add -A
• $ git commit -m 'saving the base'
• Rename the _extensions/ organization to some easy to type name.
• Edit _extensions/_extension.yml and make changes to the (ugh) YAML.
  • NOTE: if you add/change included assets/resources, make sure to modify format-resources in the YAML
• Replace _extensions/logo.png with your logo
• Replace _extensions/space.jpg with a background image (add more if you want easily available ones)
• Edit _extensions/copy-resources.lua to ensure all ^^ resources are copied over (hack until Quarto devs fix the issue)
• Edit _extensions/theme.scss. It's a full theme. Modify background/foreground/etc colors at-will.

In template.qmd change:
