Boilerplate code for writing documents using rmarkdown+pandoc+xelatex

Environment

Nix

nix-shell

openSUSE Tumbleweed

zypper install pandoc texlive-xelatex-dev-bin R tcl libpng libpng-devel texlive-babel-russian

This installs xelatex with texlive and pandoc plus several packages needed for this template rendering. The texlive-babel-russian package is actually not required for english only documents, but because I write a lot in russian and I will be the only user (would be cool if I'm wrong XD) of this template, I've decided to put it in the command installing required packages.

Rmarkdown installation

sudo R

install.packages(c("rmarkdown","reticulate"));

How to build?

./build.R
