Do you care in the slightest about what your readers think about your document, and by proxy about you and your competence level? If yes, then a classy, typographically professional layout and structured, clear, and revealing content can only help. This template tries to aid you in both of these endeavors.
Hereβs what the TeXtured Template offers:
To learn more about the design principles behind TeXtured
and its capabilities, look
at the TeXtured Demo π.
It showcases the features of TeXtured
template and provides a guide on how to use them.
[!NOTE] Please note that the documentation is still a work-in-progress π§, with more guides and explanations to come.
[!TIP] If you find something interesting or useful, but adopting the whole template is simply too much, feel free to just copy and use relevant parts of the code. (π§ TODO: link relevant files for corresponding features in DEMO file)
Be sure to have all the dependencies installed (at least the LaTeX build tools), and run
latexmk thesis
in the root directory of the repository to build the thesis.
[!TIP] If you prefer to use π
Overleaf
, you can find theTeXtured
template there as well.
LaTeX build tools:
latexmk
- LaTeX build toolpdflatex
/lualatex
- LaTeX engine (you can choose one in .latexmkrc
)biber
- bibliography processing tool for biblatex
[!WARNING] At this point it is unclear what is the minimal required LaTeX installation. Full
TeX Live
distribution is surely enough, since it is used in GitHub Actions to automatically build the latest version of the TeXtured Demo π.
[!NOTE] Some scripts assume
linux
environment. These include:
- generation of directory structure for
aux_dir
(dependencies aresed
,xargs
)- vector figure generation (together with watermark)
- need to enable
--shell-escape
in.latexmkrc
inkscape
- vector graphics (and SVG to PDF conversion)perl
- disabling/Interpolation
in PDFs generated byinkscape
sed
- substituting placeholders in PDF watermarkghostscript
- injectingpostscript
watermark into PDF
Version control (optional):
git
- (obviously) the preferred version control systemgit-lfs
- Git Large File Storage - for storing PDFs, figures, etc.Exceptions:
