Default template for schol.

Demo

Usage

Use this schol template to get started writing a research paper. You can also use this template a starting point for developing new templates.

Create a new schol project

To create a new project using this template, create a new folder for the project, navigate into it, and initialize a new schol project with schol init:

mkdir assignment
cd assignment
schol init --template schol-template-default

--template is optional in this case because it is the default for new schol projects.

Create a new template

To use this template as a starting point for a new template, fork, clone, or copy this repo, and hack away!

You can then either publish your template on npm, or simply use it locally.

A few things to keep in mind:

• To initialize your template by name rather than by path while it is in development, you must first npm link it from the directory in which you wish to initialize it:

// From your template directory -- schol-template-custom
npm link
cd ..
mkdir new-project
cd new-project
npm link schol-template-custom
// Now you can initialize it
schol init --template schol-template-custom

• Make sure your package name starts with schol-template- to make it easy to find

• The main property in package.json must point to a valid EJS template located in the root of the template/ directory.

• Anything placed in src/ will be copied to the src/ folder of any schol project initialized with the template.

• Test and develop your template by running the following from within your template directory:

  npm link
  npm link schol-template-default // Or whatever your template is
  schol edit

  This will use the current directory (your template directory) as the template.

• Include example output of your template in the docs folder with schol render and set up your GitHub repository to publish from the docs/ folder in your template project.. This will allow users to see what your template looks like before they use it.

• Include a screenshot of your template output in media/example.png. Use a square aspect ratio with a resolution of at least 898x898.

• Once published to npm and GitHub, add your template to the schol templates list!
