Install Instructions

Would you be able to add installation instructions for these templates to your README.md file? I am not familiar with installing .Rmd templates manually.
Hi Christopher,
You don't need to "install" it, per se. Just download the particular .tex template to somewhere on your directory and, in the YAML of your .Rmd file, point to the relative path of the template. So, if you download svm-latex-ms.tex to your Desktop directory on a Mac (e.g. /Users/ChristopherEeles/Desktop/svm-latex-ms.tex, make the template: field in the YAML to be template: ~/Desktop/svm-latex-ms.tex.
I tried as you suggested but I get an odd error:
"template" (line 882, column 110): unexpected "<" expecting letter Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 5 Execution halted
Can you please check if it is an issue with the file? (I am using R 4.0.0)
That "<" tells me you copy-pasted it or saved it in a way that also ported some HTML tags with it. Check the .tex file and see what's inside it..
Hi! Thank you for you work with this, it's very helpful. I have downloaded your R package, but I need the template for the statement, and it didn't come with it. I've tried saving the .tex code for the template statement (svm-latex-statement) in the template directory, then running the markdown code you provided, but pandoc is having issues finding the file (even though I have specified the path correctly). Any suggestions on what I should to get this template working? The ones that work have a dedicated folder with the template.tex file in resources, a template.YAML file in the main folder and the Skeleton.Rmd file in the Skeleton folder, maybe it has something to do with that?
It's tough to say without looking at what exactly is in your YAML. For what it's worth, I just pushed the statement template to the dev version of {stevetemplates} on Github. That should help.
It worked, thanks!
