Rmarkdown Templates For Academic Documents at Department of Defense Schools

dodschools's Issues

Font

The font seems lighter than it should be. The fonts on the title page even change color for different shades of black.

Can't cross-reference tables created using the xtable package

When I create a table using knitr::kable I can easily reference the table elsewhere in the document by using \@ref(tab:chunk) where chunk is the label of the code chunk in which the table was created.

However, when I create a table using the xtable package the reference in the document shows ??.

How can I get these labels to appear?

Middle Initial

Author's middle initial is not populating throughout the rendered thesis.

Advisor's degree not generating

In `metadata.yml`, I have my advisor's degree listed (PhD), but when I knit the document, nothing shows up after his name. However, the other committee members' information shows up just fine.

advisor:
  name: 'Raymond R. Hill'
  department: 'ENS' # Use three-letter designator
  rank: 'Civilian'
  service: 'usaf' # Use abbreviation - leave blank if NA
  currentDegree: 'PhD'
  phone: '937-255-3636 x7469'
  email: "[email protected]"

Report on last page of thesis

The report on the last page of the thesis does not populate the author's name.

Numbered citations

When using numbered citations, the numbers go in reference to the bibliography order rather than the other way around. For example, if there are three citations; Allen, Barry, and Smith. If I reference Smith first, Smith should be given the number 1, and the bibliography should change accordingly. For now, Smith would be referenced as 3.

Unable to knit thesis template: missing `insdljs.sty`

macOS 10.13.2
RStudio 1.0.153
pandoc 2.0.5
MacTeX-2017

Whenever I try to knit the template, I get the following:

--latex-engine has been removed. Use --pdf-engine instead.
Try pandoc --help for more information.
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 2
In addition: Warning message:
In as.POSIXlt.POSIXct(Sys.time()) :
                Unknown timezone ‘zone/tz/2017c.1.0/zoneinfo/America/New-York’
Execution halted

This seems to have been addressed by installing the most recent dev version of rmarkdown.
devtools::install_github("rstudio/rmarkdown")

However, new different issues have cropped up in the wake. I'm receiving these messages as knitting fails:

Font is too light

Fonts that are not bold are too light throughout the document. Need to change a setting to make it darker.

Extra Committee Member

For some reason, I cannot get the third committee member to go away. I've tried both commenting and removing the references from the yaml header, but they still show. Commenting works on my advisor's rank, but not the actual reader, for some reason. I have also commented out the corresponding sections of the metadata.yml file.

Output:

Code:
