The only files you should need to edit are:

• frontmatter/information.tex

• thesis_draft.qmd

When knitting to pdf, if you are getting a TexLive version error, try using the following command in your consol: tinytex::reinstall_tinytex().

information.tex

This file holds all the information required for the "header" pages before your thesis. You should fill in your information, and this should automatically populate these pages!

thesis_draft.qmd

Write your thesis here! There are examples of how to include tables and figures so that they are added to your List of Figures and List of Tables, as well as an example of how to cite your sources in text.

There is a Computational Details section, which should be included for any heavy code-based thesis with your version of R and the version of any major package(s) you used.

References

The REFERENCES section is also provided. The {.unnumbered} is formatting for the Table of Contents and should not be changed, and

::: {#refs}
:::

tells Quarto where to create your citations.

Appendix

The following is what correctly formats the appendix, and should appear before your first appendix section:

\appendix

<!-- Store original definitions formatting -->
\let\oldclearpage\clearpage
\let\oldcleardoublepage\cleardoublepage

<!-- Disable page breaks -->
\let\clearpage\relax
\let\cleardoublepage\relax

Directly after the title of your first appendix section is:

<!-- Restore original formatting -->
\let\clearpage\oldclearpage
\let\cleardoublepage\oldcleardoublepage

The above commands simply stop # from starting on a new page so APPENDICIES appears above the title of your first section, then re-allows # to start on a new page afterwords.

If your thesis does not have an Appendix, remove this section!

Example-bibliography.bib

This is a placeholder bibliography/references file and should be replaces with your own (try using Zotero, its great!).
