The deadline is 19 January. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions.

Bon Courage!

Instructions

To begin, start a new RStudio project in a folder and prepare the following files (use your files from assignment 3):

_quarto.yml: Enter your name, adjust the HTML theme and the PDF setup as you like. Some PDF settings are provided in two separate files:
- before_body.tex: This file contains the code for the title page. Name and date are taken from _quarto.yml, here you can change other text and the logo (UFR_Siegel_Blau.png and UFR_Wortmarke.pdf).
- include-in-header.tex: Additional LaTeX settings and packages.
index.qmd: The first chapter and start page.
exercise1.qmd: The exercises. Enter you solutions here.
references.qmd: The chapter showing the list of references cited from references.bib, as well as a paragraph citing the version of R and the packages used. Update grateful_refs.bib and check before submission. For a different citation and bibliography style, replace the-quarterly-journal-of-economics.csl and update _quarto.yml accordingly.
Readme.md describes the files

Make sure to update all relevant sections, including references and the README.md description of how to reproduce your report.

To generate the HTML and PDF book, go to the terminal and enter quarto render. All files will be saved in the folder docs (you can change the output directory in line 3 of _quarto.yml).¹.

Footnotes

If you are logged into your quarto-pub account, typing quarto publish quarto-pub will render your project and publish it as a website (alternative options include Netlify or GithubPages). Setting the project type to website or manuscript would provide additional flexibility↩︎
