RLEpdf

Quarto extension for a template to generate a PDF with (pretty) LaTeX styling for RLE assessments.

Based on: https://github.com/nrennie/PrettyPDF

Installation and use

To install the Quarto extension, create a directory, and use the template file:

quarto use template red-list-ecosystem/RLEpdf

To use the extension in an existing project without installing the template file:

quarto install extension red-list-ecosystem/RLEpdf

Note that you will need to update the output format to format: RLEpdf-pdf to enable use of the extension.

Changing colours and logo

If you want to update this template to use a different colour or logo, open up the _extensions/red-list-ecosystem/RLEpdf/RLEpdf.tex file after you have installed the extension.

Logo

Either replace the logo_RLE.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.

Colours

Lines 14-16 define three colours used in the template: light, dark, and highlight. Change the hex colours in these lines to update the colours. The light colour changes the sidebar and code block background colours. The dark colour changes the text. The highlight colour changes the link colours.
