CRC book example

[bgreenwell]

Would it be possible to include an example of using Quarto to write a CRC-style book? Are there any examples? Similar in spirit to this CRC example from bookdown which shows how to use the krantz.cls style with appropriate .tex supplementary files.

I am not aware of a CRC book published using Quarto.
Did you take a look at the gallery? https://quarto.org/docs/gallery/#books

The LaTeX template is not much more different than articles templates, thus you could also take a look at http://github.com/quarto-journals and the extension documentation https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/.

I'm working on one; following Yihui's Bookdown workflow and adjusting it to Quarto seems to work mostly well so far. I did reach out to their technical team at some point, asking exactly that ("Do you guys have a how-to/example of using Quarto, similar to Yihui's for Bookdown?") and it was utterly useless. First response was "no, this is not possible because our workflow uses LaTeX", and when I pointed out that this was exactly the same situation as with Bookdown, they asked me to provide them with an example ¯_(ツ)_/¯, so I gave up on that conversation.
The sample chapters I've sent so far to the Editor seem to pass their quality checks, so I don't think there'll be too many problems (worst case scenario, I'll have to tweak a bit the final TeX).

Thanks @baptiste, I was able to follow the example and get it to work, albeit with a minor issue of the front and back matter appearing twice in the ToC. So I’ll probably do some tweaking of the final latex document as well!

For those interested, I started a repo with a minimal-ish example here: https://github.com/bgreenwell/quarto-crc; similar in spirit to @yihui's bookdown-crc example. Only issue I'm still having is the double ToC entries for both the front and back matter.

Did you ever sort out the double-ToC entries?
