Use Csl-File for PDF-Output in Bookdown

use csl-file for pdf-output in bookdown

I had the same problem. The following procedure worked for me:

1. Create new project with RStudio and choose "Book Project using
   bookdown" as option.
2. Download some .csl file from https://www.zotero.org/styles and copy to root of project. In my case: chicago-author-date-de.csl
3. Set in _output.yml citation_package: none
4. Add in all formats (gitbook, pdf_book, epub_book) in _output.yml the line pandoc_args: [ "--csl", "chicago-author-date-de.csl" ]
5. Delete or comment out in index.Rmd the line biblio-style: apalike
6. Replace the content of 06-references.Rmd with # References {-}

Here is my _output.yml file:

bookdown::gitbook:
  css: style.css
  pandoc_args: [ "--csl", "chicago-author-date-de.csl" ]
  config:
    toc:
      before: |
        <li><a href="./">A Minimal Book Example</a></li>
      after: |
        <li><a href="https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown" target="blank">Published with bookdown</a></li>
    download: ["pdf", "epub"]
bookdown::pdf_book:
  includes:
    in_header: preamble.tex
  latex_engine: xelatex
  citation_package: none
  pandoc_args: [ "--csl", "chicago-author-date-de.csl" ]
  keep_tex: yes
bookdown::epub_book:
  pandoc_args: [ "--csl", "chicago-author-date-de.csl" ]

You probably missed two lines:

• Add in all formats (gitbook, pdf_book, epub_book) in _output.yml the line pandoc_args: [ "--csl", "chinese-gb7714-2005-numeric.csl" ]

Changing Chapter colors in r bookdown (pdf output)

ekstroem put me on the right track to use the sectsty package. I tried using \chapternumberfont from the sectsty package, which didn't work. I think Bookdown doesn't set the name for the chapter number to this particular name. I found a workaround that worked, by using setting the entire chapter to grey, and then setting the chapter title to black:

\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\definecolor{battleshipgrey}{rgb}{0.52, 0.52, 0.51}
\chapterfont{\color{battleshipgrey}}
\chaptertitlefont{\color{black}} 

Set space between Reference items in Rmarkdown biblography using csl-file

Found it, in

CSL use:

<bibliography entry-spacing = "2" >

Questions about referencing figures in R Markdown (PDF output)?

You have not provided your YAML header, but I think there is the problem. It should have the following line:

--- 
output: 
  bookdown::pdf_document2
---

You can not use the features of bookdown without loading the templates from the package.
