uOttawa (biology) Thesis Template

This is a Quarto (https://quarto.org/) template that assists you in creating a University of Ottawa thesis. You can fork or download the repository to get started but the recommended way is simply to use the quarto function within R or the system shell to install and use the template

How to get it

#  You might need the development version of the quarto R package that you can install with
remotes::install_github("quarto-dev/quarto-r")

quarto::quarto_use_template("juliengamartin/quarto-bio-uo-thesis")

or in a terminal

quarto use template juliengamartin/quarto-bio-uo-thesis

how to use it

The template can generate a pdf document as well as an associated website to be hosted on github

Edit and add files as necessary see folder structure below
