changes to formatting

removing red boxes around cross-references

Add \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref} to template.tex -- this can replace \usepackage{hyperref}

list of figures

Within chunk header, use fig.scap='small caption'. In this example small caption will appear in the list of figures and the figure caption will remain as what was stated for the option fig.cap

toc depth

To manually change the toc depth, in index.Rmd, swap thesisdown::thesis_pdf: default for thesisdown::thesis_pdf: toc: true toc-depth: TOC-DEPTH-CHOICE -- remember indents (not sure how to show on readme)

To make sure the depth of heading numbers matches the toc depth, add \setcounter{secnumdepth}{$toc-depth$} to template.tex below \setcounter{tocdepth}{$toc-depth$} -- around line 155.

log of errors when building

Error: Package inputenc Error: Unicode character (U+2003) (inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.

Extra details: This occured when copying text over from a paper into a chapter. Unicode character (U+2003) is just whitespace.

Solution: Just re-entered the text part by part and re-built the thesis each time to check it worked.

Unable to get references for word

Solution: Only knit to word + remove abstract, abbreviations, acknowledgements etc. from yaml header. NOTE: to knit to pdf, it requires these in the yaml header to be present!
