# Welcome {.unnumbered}

This is a Quarto book template that you can use to create your own book.

## About this book

This book is built with [Quarto](https://quarto.org/), an open-source scientific and technical publishing system. You can use Quarto to create books, websites, blogs, presentations, and more from markdown files.

## Getting Started

To use this template:

1. **Update the configuration**: Edit `_quarto.yml` to change the book title, author, repository URL, and chapters.

2. **Add your content**: Create new `.qmd` files for each chapter and add them to the `chapters` list in `_quarto.yml`.

3. **Customize the style**: Modify `styles.css` to change the appearance of your book.

4. **Add references**: Update `references.bib` with your citations.

## Building the book

To render the book locally:

```bash
quarto render
```

To preview the book with live reload:

```bash
quarto preview
```

The rendered output will be in the `docs/` directory, which can be published to GitHub Pages.

## Publishing to GitHub Pages

This template includes a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically builds and publishes your book to GitHub Pages when you push to the main branch.

To enable GitHub Pages:

1. Go to your repository settings
2. Navigate to "Pages" in the left sidebar
3. Under "Build and deployment", set Source to "GitHub Actions"
4. Push your changes to the main branch
5. The workflow will automatically build and deploy your book
