15.04.21: [Change font style in template]

[mauriziopassariello]

I am new to pandoc and conversion of MD files to PDF. I was really amazed by the conversion of the template with typademic! So I am not sure this is a bug or that I just am inexperienced. I tried to modify the template here and there and I noticed that if I uncomment the mainfont and change it to another one (taken from https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/sansseriffonts.html) in the PDF the font style doesn't change.

Great work I am really amazed by the simplicity of Typademic. Thanks!

Hi there! Thanks for opening your first issue!

[mauriziopassariello]

I just realised that no matter what changes I make to the template.md file (except for tile and author) these don’t reflect in the pdf file. Surely I am doing something wrong...

Hi @mauriziopassariello
I tested the template with https://typademic.ch with the following settings and everything seems to work fine. Did you remove the # in # mainfont: to uncomment the mainfont settings? And did you hit the reset button before uploading a new version of the template?

# Front matter
lang: de-CH # Use language codes like de, de-DE, en, en-UK, en-US, fr, it, ...

Hi Moritz thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I think my browser got "stuck" and was giving me the same pdf over and over again. Now that I have relaunched it it works! The only issue is still with images. I have tried but I get this error. What is my mistake?

I hope I can fix the images issue, but this is soooo cool I am so impressed!

Thanks again,

Maurizio

Hi @mauriziopassariello
You are very welcome. You need to change the reference from absolute ![](/Users/maurizio/.../Avalon2.jpg) to relative ![](Avalon2.jpg). Then it is supposed to work.
If it's ok with you I will now close this issue.
Best,
Moritz

Thanks Morits, yes it works indeed! Thanks!

[mauriziopassariello]

Hi Moritz, I'm not sure you still receive these comments.
I wanted to ask you: let's say I want numbered sections. How do I change that? Where can I learn how to make templates myself?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I highly recommend you to read the documentation of Pandoc and the document classes you intend to use. I prefer KOMA script classes.
