Quarto Template/Extension for ASU Thesis

It is highly recommended to use tinytex which comes with Quarto for rendering the PDF format. You may get warnings if usingtexlive and may need to debug (very frustrating) and install packages manually. tinytex can update missing libraries for you. See more on Quarto website.

Background

This repo provides a Quarto template/extension to assist the preparation of a thesis/report/dissertation according to ASU guidelines.

In addition to the official guide, I burrowed ideas from the following sources.

• The pandoc LaTex template for the PDF format was roughly based on the LaTex ASU-Dissertation-Template.

  • Modifications were made to the headings, captions and bibliography; efforts were made to make it work for the pandoc/quarto templates.

• The repo and _quarto.yml structure was inspired by other quarto thesis extensions quarto-thesis and monash-quarto-thesis.
