Hi there. Thanks for flagging. Can you also include your results of running sessionInfo()
or something similar in R, so I can identify your versions of packages?

Thanks. I'll try to see what's up.
Can you clarify what you mean by "clone the repo"? It seems like LaTeX isn't synced up appropriately.
I misspoke. I did clone a local copy of the repo to try editing source files (for debugging). But what i meant to say was that I first installed thesisdown and then created a new thesisdown project, from which i made no changes and only tried to knit index.Rmd.
You mention LaTex isnt synced up? What do you mean by that?
If I try to run say
tinytex::tlmgr_install("babel-portuges")
Then I get this
tlmgr update --all --self tlmgr install babel-portuges tlmgr: Remote database (revision 70801 of the texlive-scripts package) seems to be older than the local installation (rev 70821 of texlive-scripts); please use a different mirror and/or wait a day or two. I don't know if that is relevant or not.
I’m not seeing tinytex
listed in your sessionInfo()
output which seems strange and your \item error also is a LaTeX package error I believe. Maybe try to start fresh again at the top of the README for instructions?
I just did a fresh install and I’m not seeing any errors in building the PDF.
I’m not sure about the error you are getting from tinytex::tlmgr_install("babel-portuges") either. That’s not a necessary package for things to build, but an example of how to add another LaTeX package.
Thats weird, I just ran sessioninfo()
again and am seeing tinytex
.
I did as you said, and did a fresh install and its the same error. I also had another person, on a linux machine, do a fresh install and try to knit index.Rmd and they also had the exact same error as myself with identical thesis.log file.
Darn. I’m really not sure since I can’t replicate on my Mac. I guess you could try a bookdown example instead to see if that gives the game kind of error? https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown-demo
That example worked fine. No Issues. Would you possibly share your sessioninfo
? Maybe there is something I am missing?
The only major difference I see on initial look is that I'm using an older version of R on this machine:

I used another 2021 M1 macbook and downloaded R, Rstudio and MacTex. Then followed the instructions on the readme
and it worked fine. It has no issue.
It is possible this is caused by some conflicting LateX configuration on mine. I tried installing MacTex again and it had no effect. The only option I can see it to backup my computer and install everything again from a factory reset.
Strange! Best of luck. LaTeX can be pretty unruly at times.
I found the solution here: https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/issues/4879
Specifically i made the following replacement in template.tex
I replaced lines 119-147 with
% definitions for citeproc citations
\NewDocumentCommand\citeproctext{}{}
\NewDocumentCommand\citeproc{mm}{%
\begingroup\def\citeproctext{#2}\cite{#1}\endgroup}
\makeatletter
% allow citations to break across lines
\let\@cite@ofmt\@firstofone
% avoid brackets around text for \cite:
\def\@biblabel#1{}
\def\@cite#1#2{{#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi}}
\makeatother
\newlength{\cslhangindent}
\setlength{\cslhangindent}{1.5em}
\newlength{\csllabelwidth}
\setlength{\csllabelwidth}{3em}
\newenvironment{CSLReferences}[2] % #1 hanging-indent, #2 entry-spacing
{\begin{list}{}{%
\setlength{\itemindent}{0pt}
\setlength{\leftmargin}{0pt}
\setlength{\parsep}{0pt}
% turn on hanging indent if param 1 is 1
\ifodd #1
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\cslhangindent}
\setlength{\itemindent}{-1\cslhangindent}
\fi
% set entry spacing
\setlength{\itemsep}{#2\baselineskip}}}
{\end{list}}
\usepackage{calc}
\newcommand{\CSLBlock}[1]{\hfill\break\parbox[t]{\linewidth}{\strut\ignorespaces#1\strut}}
\newcommand{\CSLLeftMargin}[1]{\parbox[t]{\csllabelwidth}{\strut#1\strut}}
\newcommand{\CSLRightInline}[1]{\parbox[t]{\linewidth - \csllabelwidth}{\strut#1\strut}}
\newcommand{\CSLIndent}[1]{\hspace{\cslhangindent}#1}
$endif$
Id be very curious if you can confirm what might have been going on. But the best I can tell is that the /citeproctext
command was not being "found" and so this fixes it by making those definitions in the template?
Unfortunately, I'm not great at debugging LaTeX anymore these days. I'll keep this open to see if the template needs updating when I get a chance. Thanks for finding this!
Got the same error on Windows. Indeed the solution in https://github.com/ismayc/thesisdown/issues/207#issuecomment-2035288739 indeed solved it+

Describe the bug I am using the cloned repo as is and no changes are made. I try to knit index. Rmd. The pdf does not compile. I get the following Error:
There is further related behaviour I cannot explain.
If I remove any of the citations using @ from 03-chap3.Rmd and lines 34-38 from 99-references.Rmd
then the pdf compiles directly from index.Rmd.
However If I leave the above lines in and knit Index.Rmd and then compile the thesis.tex file directly it produces a thesis.pdf file that contains the in text citation and the references list is filled, both correctly formatted. However Figure 3.2 now is missing its content but its caption is present.
Therefore there is some bug related to using in text citations.
Here is the the typical error from any citation from the thesis.log from trying to compile thesis.tex
To Reproduce Clone the repo as is and knit index.Rmd Expected behavior To be able to handle in text citations using the @ref syntax.

Additional context Originally I was trying to get this work on the macdown rep for Mcmaster University and had the exact same problem.
