Clean extension template

[mvuorre]

Hi! Thanks for all the great work so far 🙏

I just started a new manuscript project with quarto use template wjschne/apaquarto and it works fabulously 🚀. I'll probably use this more since Typst still is not quite ready to handle many APA requirements (looking at you, tables.)

Would it make sense to prune the template-provided files? I'd be happy to send a PR but since this is a bit of an opinion needs to be evaluated first. The following seem to clutter the end directory (created with quarto use template wjschne/apaquarto):

• template.rmarkdown
  • Does not serve a purpose
• bibliography.bib
  • Could be provided but could be empty to avoid spurious references (depending on below)
  • It currently has 3 copies of the same reference
• /img/
  • Only needed for the example render of <project-name>.qmd
• minimal.qmd vs. <project-name>.qmd
  • IMHO the latter is documentation / example and not useful to the end user as a template

Additionally is there a way to rename the .Rproj file to vs having it be apaquarto.Rproj?

These are good suggestions. I implemented most of them. The template.rmarkdown now in the .gitignore filter. The img folder is no longer used. The minimal.qmd file became the template.qmd file. The old template.qmd file became example.qmd. I am not seeing any repeated entries in the bibliography.bib file: https://github.com/wjschne/apaquarto/blob/main/bibliography.bib

The template / example division makes sense and is probably helpful. I am sorry I made a typo previously, the template includes a spurious references.bib with the repeated entries. That file can probably be added to .quartoignore as well. bibliography.bib is fine.

(As a side note I like having the .Rproj included in the template but yeah maybe best to leave creating that to the users since this is a quarto template and not an RStudio template.)

Thanks for all the great work :)

Done. references.bib added to .quartoignore

Thanks!
