I have recently used this template in Spanish, but it would be interesting to have it for quarto👇

Description

References of my thesis project are not being rendered correctly anymore. This only applies to the citations in the text body, the reference section at the end of the document is rendered fine. So the .bib file seems to be working.

When rendering, xelatex runs multiple loops, aborting after reaching the maximum number of runs. I found an old GitHub Issue from the Quarto Repository, suggesting that this might have something to do with LaTex packages not working correctly (see here quarto-dev/quarto-cli#3518 (comment).

This also happens with previous version of my project, of which I'm sure, that they were working before. I assume that this is related to the new Quarto version 1.4, since this is the only thing I can think of that has changed since then. However, when not working with this project, e.g. basic Quarto scripts with pdf Output, references work fine.

I tried reproducing the error with the example of this repository, but here I got a different error:

ERROR: 
compilation failed- missing packages (automatic installed disabled)      
LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.872 \end{CSLReferences}

Is anyone else having this problem?

Quarto 1.2 is in preview but the template is stopping working (all extensions of book class are throwing property error)

How can I add new paragraphs to the abstract? I have added the abstract in the _quarto.yml but I cant figure out how to get it into paragraphs. I have tried \n and breaking it up with quotation marks but it isnt working.

Also, my abstract is long and the 'title page' for the abstract now renders at the bottom of a new page and then abstract content is on a second page. I have tried to figure out how to change this in the yml, cls etc but I cant seem to do it and save the cls.

Many thanks

Description

Alternative classoptions for line spacing have the effect of increasing all spacing, including of front matter, tables and code chunks (see Table 1.1 of the rendered A-doctoral-thesis-title.pdf file.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Edit ./_extensions/quarto-thesis/_extension.yml
2. Change classoption from singlespacing to either onehalfspacing or doublespacing
3. quarto render to render PDF

Additional Information

Shouldn't user alterations to setspace be confined in their scope to paragraph text within the main body?
Relevant Stack Overflow discussions here, here, and here

Adding the following to ./_quarto.yml protects single line spacing within code (shaded environment) and tabular environments. I'm not sure if all of these tabular environments are relevant : in my test (with keep-tex: true) Table 1.1 was located within a longtable environment.

format:
  quarto-thesis-pdf: 
    urlcolor: red
    toclinkcolor: black
    toc-depth: 2
    classoption: [onehalfspacing, oneside]
    header-includes: |
      \usepackage{etoolbox}
      \AtBeginEnvironment{Shaded}{\singlespace}
      \AtBeginEnvironment{tabular}{\singlespacing}
      \AtBeginEnvironment{lltable}{\singlespacing}
      \AtBeginEnvironment{longtable}{\singlespacing}
      \AtBeginEnvironment{tablenotes}{\doublespacing}
      \captionsetup[table]{font={stretch=1.5}}
      \captionsetup[figure]{font={stretch=1.5}}

First of all thanks for this great template! I appreciate your work that you share this!

I just wanted to hint at a minor error in the section reference of the example. I saw that you stumbled upon this in your video and that it is still included in the example. So I thought I'd let you know.

Description

The header of section 1.9 Thesis Features and Conventions is rendered as 1.9 Thesis Features and Conventions {sec-ThesisConventions}

This is due to the missing '#' ({#sec-ThesisConventions} instead of {sec-ThesisConventions}).

Discussed in #18

Hi there, I have 3 (!) supervisors. Is it possible to extend this template for multiple supervisors

Question

I'm trying to add support for Chinese in Quarto, but I'm encountering some issues. I've tried several methods, but none seem to give me the desired results. I want to be able to use Chinese text in my Quarto project and ensure that Chinese characters are handled and formatted correctly. Are there any specific configurations or steps to achieve this? I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance on this matter.

maybe add \usepackage{ctex} somewhere in MastersDoctoralThesis.cls?

TKS!!!

Hi @eeholmes, I inserted a basic equation into the template Chapter 1. It renders fine on quarto equation preview in VSCode, but it does not render in the pdf. If I change the output to html, the equation renders as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

$$
\int_{A_i}{\lambda (\mathbf{x})}
$$

Does quarto not natively support math such as \int?

From html output:

Question

Hello
I am a new quarto (but old R user) who was going to use Overleaf for my thesis because I know I can include pdfs of my published papers in Overleaf. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2739159/inserting-a-pdf-file-in-latex
However, I would like to use Quarto and this template instead. Do you know of a way to include pdfs into quarto? I cant find an answer for doing it in documents yet. I am going to raise it as a question on the Quarto site.
Thank you
