Convert R Markdown to a Word (docx) thesis document in German and English

Source: R/thesis.R
thesis_word_de.Rd

These functions serve as wrappers for the bookdown function word_document2, with a custom Pandoc Word template and different knitr default values (e.g., dpi = 144). It is called from the initial R Markdown template file, which should be named index.Rmd.

Usage

thesis_word_de(
  toc = TRUE,
  toc_depth = 5,
  number_sections = TRUE,
  highlight = "default",
  reference_docx = "uhh-template.docx",
  dpi = 144,
  pandoc_args = NULL,
  ...
)

thesis_word_en(
  toc = TRUE,
  toc_depth = 5,
  number_sections = TRUE,
  highlight = "default",
  reference_docx = "uhh-template.docx",
  dpi = 144,
  pandoc_args = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

toc

logical; TRUE to include a table of contents in the output.

toc_depth

integer; Depth of headers to include in table of contents. Default set to 5.

number_sections

logical; whether to number section headers: if TRUE (default), figure/table numbers will be of the form X.i, where X is the current first-level section number, and i is an incremental number (the i-th figure/table); if FALSE, figures/tables will be numbered sequentially in the document from 1, 2, ..., and you cannot cross-reference section headers in this case.

highlight

character; syntax highlighting style. Supported styles include "default", "tango", "pygments", "kate", "monochrome", "espresso", "zenburn", and "haddock". Pass NULL to prevent syntax highlighting.

reference_docx

character; use the specified file as a style reference in producing a docx file. The 'uhh-template.docx' template implements most of the standard requirement at the UHH biology department. If you prefer another template, pass the file name to this argument or simply use 'default' to use your standard Word template.

dpi

integer; the resolution of the output figures, default is 144 dots per inch.

pandoc_args

Additional command line options to pass to pandoc.

...

Additional parameters to pass to pdf_book.

Value

A modified word_document based on the UHH Word template.
