Quarto templates

A collection of personal Quarto PDF templates. They share a common style: Libertine and Inconsolata fonts, British English spelling, coloured links, and clean formatting throughout.

Templates

Template	Description	Main files
article	Academic article with numbered sections, double spacing, and back references	`article.qmd`, `article-template.latex`
cv	Curriculum vitae	`cv.qmd`, `cv-template.latex`
letter	Formal letter with optional letterhead and signature images	`letter.qmd`, `letter-template.latex`
syllabus	Course syllabus	`syllabus.qmd`, `syllabus-template.latex`
title-page	Article with a separate title page	`title-page.qmd`, `title-page-template.latex`

Each folder contains a rendered PDF showing the template output.

Requirements

Quarto (v1.3 or later)
A LaTeX distribution: TinyTeX (recommended) or TeX Live
Python and Jupyter (for the default jupyter: python3 kernel)

R users should remove the jupyter: python3 line from the YAML header and install the quarto-r and rmarkdown packages instead.

Usage

Clone the repository and render any template with:

git clone https://github.com/danilofreire/quarto-templates.git
cd quarto-templates/article
quarto render article.qmd --to pdf

Edit the .qmd file to change content, and adjust the YAML header to modify formatting options (fonts, spacing, margins, colours, etc.). Each template uses a custom .latex file that controls the PDF layout.

Letter template options

The letter template supports several optional YAML fields for letterhead and signature images:

letterhead: emory.png          # path to letterhead image
letterhead-width: 7cm          # image width
letterhead-xshift: 1.7cm       # horizontal offset from page edge
letterhead-yshift: 1.8cm       # vertical offset from page edge
signature: /path/to/sig.png    # path to signature image
signature-width: 5cm            # signature image width
signature-hshift: -0.3cm       # horizontal shift (negative = left)

All of these are optional. If omitted, the letter renders without a letterhead or signature.
