permalink Pandoc df thesis template

The D. Folio (df) template for writing a thesis dissertation using Pandoc.

Based on the “(df)modified” Markdown sources, this dissertation template can deal with many outputs dialect basically supported by Pandoc:

• pdf: (preferred) output generated from (lua/pdf)LaTeX;
• html: single (based solely on Pandoc) and multi (based on Jekyll) HTML file, e.g. for web-publications;
• epub: EPUB v3 ebook;
• docbook5: XML/DocBook (v5) and HTML chunked files (limited support);
• odt: LibreOffice/OpenOffice OpenDocument;
• docx: Microsoft Word;

With the use of a full featured Makefile all the build process is performed automatically, obviously once it is configured properly!

This template is not intended to be a standalone direct use template:

• Some packages (e.g. Pandoc, PP, LaTeX...) must be installed prior to take advantage of this template.
• Some basic behaviors that you may not want have been defined and hard-coded in the Makefile. To disable some unwanted rules, it is necessary to know how to modify the Makefile properly.
• From now, it is difficult to consider using this template without the Makefile!!!

At this time, this template is designed for mainly Linux distribution. Basically, with some few efforts this template can be used on another operating system (e.g. Windows and MacOS)... this is planed in future prospects (when I’ve got time!).
