Steve's 2nd Syllabus Template
Description
This is the R Markdown template I use for my syllabi at Stockholm University. Classes are structured a lot differently here, so a lot of what I'd like to do or aspire to do has to change.

Additional Comments
XeLaTeX is imposed by a standard use in RStudio. The one-/two-/n-teacher(s) hack
is inspired by hackery in article3 in this same package. Specify only one
of those.
The Font Awesome package in LaTeX is fontawesome5.
The "author" argument should be used as if there were potentially multiple professors (even if there is just the one). You'll see what I mean in the skeleton file.
