This assumes you know what Quarto is, and you have set it up. Otherwise, see TheWiki.

2. Extract the zip file you just downloaded.
3. You must to do the following before you start writing.
   • Fill the correct title in _quarto.yml.
   • Fill the correct author in _quarto.yml.

4. Now, start writing your chapters.
   1. Write the introduction in intro.qmd.
   2. Write chapter x in chapterx.qmd. You don't need to name it like that, but it is easier. Create new files as necessary.
   3. Insert the file name into chapters in _quarto.yml.
   4. Put images in the images folder
   5. Write appendix x in appendixx.qmd files.
   6. Insert the file name into appendices in _quarto.yml.
5. Every time you have written a chunk of text, or you just want to procrastinate, run quarto render, or if you are using VS-Code, use Ctrl-Shift-K, to render your master's thesis.
6. Write your acknowledgements in acknowledgements.txt.
7. Write your abstract in index.qmd. Do not write anything else in that file.
8. Repeat steps 4 to 7 again and again up until the due-date, or your guide is happy, whichever is later.

The template also creates a html version of your thesis. Simply copy the generated _book folder onto your web host, or host it on github pages. This is left as an exercise for the reader.
