Introduction

This template lets you write awesome looking Dissertations in Markdown.

Why would you want to do this

  • It looks better
  • You have nicer references
  • You can use whatever tools you want to write (IE not stuck with Word)

Installation Instructions

Getting the Template

TODO: Instructions on Submodules etc here.

First we want to download the Template, which can be found at https://github.coventry.ac.uk/aa9863/markdown_dissertation. There are two options here:

  1. Clone my Repository
  2. Make use of Submodules to do it

Other Requirements

You will also need a copy of:

  • Pandoc
  • LaTeX

Behind the Scenes

Template is based on the (unofficial) Latex Coventry Universtiy Thesis template https://github.com/GR8DAN/coventry-thesis.

Pandoc is used to convert from Markdown to text, with some custom export templates to glue everything together.

It should work on Windows / Mac and Linux
