I’m working on a Renku template for bookdown which has a .tex file in the project to specify the latex pre-amble if you build a pdf from your bookdown project. Because of LaTeX syntax this does not play very well with a templating tool that uses a lot of {s there’s nothing in the file that needs parameterising so I was just going to exclude it from being processed by the templating tool and be copied raw rather than mess around trying to escape things. I tried setting _copy_without_render to exclude all .tex files in a cookiecutter.json file based on the cookiecutter docs but this doesn’t seem to be working.
cookiecutter.json:
{
"project_slug": "{{ __project_slug__ }}",
"_copy_without_render": [
"*.tex",
]
}
However I still get an error when creating a project from the template as soon as I add the offending .tex file to the repo. Does anyone know if I’m on the right path with this approach?
I’m working on my bookdown template in: Files · bookdown-debug · Human Developmental Biology Initiative (HDBI) / HDBI Renku Templates · GitLab
Aside from my specific issue I think if might be a useful thing to have to have how to include ‘raw’ files in templates and basic escaping mentioned in the Renku templates docs
