Editing the manuscript #30

Closed mcgregorian1 closed 5 years ago

mcgregorian1 commented 5 years ago

Hi @teixeirak

I've got a temporary working order for editing the manuscript. It's not perfect, but it works for now.

To see the manuscript as a full document, see here,

folder location: manuscript
file name "McGregor_et_al_2019.html"

In addition, this folder has all the individual chapter .Rmd files you can edit if you want.

If any of this is confusing, please let me know!

I've done some editing to the methods .Rmd file. That works smoothly, except it failed when I tried to knit (not a problem -- I assume it will work for you).

I don't know how to update "McGregor_et_al_2019.html" following my edits.

mcgregorian1 commented 5 years ago

Ok, good! Yeah, when trying to knit it relies on you having knitr and bookdown installed.

The McGregor_et_al_2019.html is the file that's created when I render the full "book" (as it were), so that will only be updated when I run that code

(Note for the record-- we've changed the system to a single manuscript file that we're formatting as a .pdf.)

@mcgregorian1, I want to make sure I know how to knit the file/ create a .pdf. What do I need to know? (Maybe we can go over this very quickly tomorrow?)

mcgregorian1 commented 5 years ago

I'm fine to meet with you tomorrow!

As a short thing, the way to knit into a pdf requires doing this in RStudio. Basically, once you have the packages loaded (and especially knitr), there's a small box that is at the top of RStudio's panel. You just have to click it and it will run through the script and create a new version of the pdf.
