report¶
Template name: report
Class file: Standard report class (no third-party file)
Citation style: natbib plainnat (default) or biblatex/biber (per-chapter mode)
Document structure: No \frontmatter/\mainmatter/\backmatter (the report class lacks them)
Covers¶
- Technical reports
- Master's theses and shorter dissertations
- Multi-chapter documents that do not need the two-sided book structure
YAML setup¶
journal:
template: report
# options: 11pt,a4paper # default; override as needed
bibliography: references.bib
Front-matter content¶
Unlike the book template, the report class has no preliminary-matter
commands (\frontmatter etc.). The template still supports:
| YAML key | Markdown heading | Emitted as |
|---|---|---|
dedication: "..." |
(YAML only) | Centered italic dedication page |
preface: "..." |
# Preface |
\chapter*{Preface} |
foreword: "..." |
# Foreword |
\chapter*{Foreword} |
abstract: "..." |
# Abstract |
\begin{abstract}...\end{abstract} |
list_of_figures: true |
(YAML only) | \listoffigures |
list_of_tables: true |
(YAML only) | \listoftables |
A \tableofcontents is always emitted.
Multi-chapter layout¶
Use  or [Chapter title](chapter.md){.include} in the
body, or declare chapters via the chapters: YAML key. Top-level embeds
compile to \include{stem}. See docs/multi-file.md.
Selective recompilation¶
Injects \includeonly{methods} — only that chapter is typeset this
pass.
Per-chapter bibliographies (biblatex)¶
See docs/multi-file.md for the full reference.
