quarto_titlepages

Fix bug if user selected date-fontsize in the coverpage-theme. The lua filter was not setting a default spacing so the fontspec latex was failing.

Two bugs

• was ignoring author-style: "none" if coverpage: true
• was throwing an error if there was not author at all

• Fix the missing titlepage bug
• Make the coverpage demos more robust
• Provide a simple example in addition to the more complex one with coverpage

This font is not on Windows which uses "Palatino Linotype". Replaced with Arial which is more commonly available.

• Add affiliation sep so can have affiliations on new line
• Add author-space-between so can have each author-address block separated by space
• Allow author, affiliation, header, footer, date to have color
• Add date to coverpage
• Add -node-spec for coverpage elements so you get full control over the nodes and can make the text boxes filled with color.
• Add some info to the documentation on how to define your own color in the LaTeX header

• add coverpage-include-file so that you can have copyright or other static pages after the cover page.
• fixed some typos in the documentation

• A few typos.
• Fix the links to the github source.
• Add some more yaml in the static chapter

The documentation is now included with a release in folder documentation. The GitHub Action in .github/workflows builds the documentation book from this folder.

Allows the static pages to be added to the front matter using

titlepage-include-file:
  - file1.tex
  - file2.tex
  - file3.tex

Latest Quarto version requires three numbers (Major.Minor.Patch) for Quarto extension versions.

This update changes the title page and cover page specification to use a common set of attributes in titlepage-theme and coverpage-theme such as titlepage-theme: title-fontsize: 30. All the different themes. For example the academic title page theme is

    titlepage: academic
    titlepage-logo: "logo.png"
    titlepage-theme:
      elements: ["\\headerblock", "\\logoblock", "\\titleblock", "\\authorblock", "\\vfill", "\\dateblock"]
      page-align: "center"
      title-style: "doublelinetight"
      title-fontstyle: ["huge", "bfseries"]
      title-space-after: "1.5cm"
      subtitle-fontstyle: "Large"
      author-style: "two-column"
      affiliation-style: "none"
      author-fontstyle: "textsc"
      affiliation-fontstyle: "large"
      logo-space-after: "2\\baselineskip"
      header-fontstyle: ["textsc", "LARGE"]
      header-space-after: "1.5cm"
      date-fontstyle: "large"

This release provides an extension for getting all the files and allows the user to specify a theme using titlepage: in the YAML.

This release set up the template partials and shows how to get a cover page and title page.

This release is not an extension.
