Stockholm University EKOHIST Thesis Template — ekohist

This is a specialty LaTeX R Markdown template for which I am not anticipating there will be high demand. This is for master's students in the Department of Economic History and International Relations at Stockholm University, which currently employs me and is always welcome to give me more money.

Usage

ekohist_thesis(...)

templ_ekohist_thesis()

Arguments

...: Arguments to rmarkdown::pdf_document.

Details

If your version of TeX comes by way of Yihui Xie's tinytex, you may want to additionally install the "xurl" library. Otherwise, you'll get a vague error about a missing LaTeX dependency. tinytex::tlmgr_install("xurl") should suffice. I thank Ian Adams and Cornelius Hennch for finding this issue and pointing to this solution.
