Help formatting thesis following Auburn University template
bstaton1 opened this issue · comments
Hello,
I'm excited about the possibility of using the bookdown and thesisdown packages to create my dissertation. However, I'm very new to LaTeX, and really have no idea what I'm doing.
My university has some .tex and .sty files that I think I can eventually get to work with my content. They are available in a zip file here: http://graduate.auburn.edu/current-students/etd-samples/
What I'm trying to do is build a very basic version of my dissertation using thesisdown and the Auburn template files to send to my grad school administrators to make sure the formatting is correct before I devote myself to writing the complete version in thesisdown.
Using the zip file provided by Auburn, I opened the ausample.tex file in RStudio and tried to knit it to a pdf - and I got errors about it not finding packages.
I'm hoping to write my content in .rmd files then build them into a book similar to the thesisdown example. I'm wondering if you would be able to provide any insights as to how likely it is I'll be able to use what Auburn provides with the bookdown/thesisdown packages to properly format my dissertation.
Thanks!
I'm going to be able to get it figured out and am very excited. Please disregard this issue, sorry for the confusion.
