Quarto extension for a template to generate a PDF with LCR branding. This extension now allows you to style PDFs LaTeX. Simply use LCR_PDF-pdf as the format in the document yaml header.
To install the Quarto extension, create a directory, and use the template file:
quarto use template LCR-BCCRC/LCR-PDFTo use the extension in an existing project without installing the template file:
quarto install extension LCR-BCCRC/LCR-PDFNote that you will need to update the output format to format: LCR_PDF-pdf to enable use of the extension. For book projects, add:
project:
type: LCR_PDF
to the _quarto.yml file.
If you want to update the LaTeX version of this template to use a different colour or logo, open up the _extensions/LCR-BCCRC/LCR_PDF/LCR-PDF.tex file after you have installed the extension.
Either replace the logo.png file with a new file of your choosing, or change the file path on line 28 to point to a different logo file. Note that the file path is relative to your .qmd file.
Lines 14-16 in _extensions/LCR-BCCRC/LCR_PDF/LCR-PDF.tex define three colours used in the template: light, dark, and highlight. Change the hex colours in these lines to update the colours. The _extensions/LCR-BCCRC/LCR_PDF/LCR-PDF.tex and _extensions/LCR-BCCRC/LCR_PDF/_extension.yml files indicate how these colours are used throughout the documents, as headers, highlighting, link colours, etc.
