Is it possible to use officedown functionalities within thesisdown? #205

Open peranti opened 9 months ago

This is not a bug but a query.

Is it possible to modify the output formats by modifying, similar to the base_format argument in bookdown? I did not see the same in the thesisdown code; please correct me if I overlooked the functionalities of the package.

output:
  bookdown::pdf_document2: 
    keep_tex: true
  bookdown::word_document2:
    toc: true

FYI: Later on, I would like to import the officedown functionalities into the thesisdown template.

I don't believe that functionality is currently available. You'd need to dig into the thesisdown functions to see if it's possible.

Yes, I agree. I couldn't find it possible in the functions as well. Are you aware if this enhancement will be included in the near future?

Related question. How could we pass a template while interested in a Word document output?

Enhancements to this package are unlikely at this time. I created it 8 years ago and haven’t been in academia for many years. I’m always open to pull requests implementing new functionality, and I’d love to work on this again, but I’ve been saying that for 4 years now…
