themerius / academic-xetex-template

Template for academic documents written in XeTeX language. (Preconfigured for German)

Academic XeLaTeX Template

You should have installed XeLaTeX, it's bundeled with the MacTeX distribution. You should have installed Adobe's OpenSource Fonts:

• Text: Source Sans Pro

• Code: Source Code Pro

• Math: Kp-Fonts

You can also use other fonts, but this must be configured!

On Ubuntu/Debian the following packages should be installed:

• texlive

• texlive-bibtex-extra

• texlive-lang-german

• texlive-latex-extra

• texlive-xetex

Make the PDF

Simply type:

make pdf

Per default the pdf is located at _build/BUILDNAME. In the Makefile you can define the output filename BUILDNAME.

Structure

Document.tex is the root document. In Config.header.tex are the usepackages and other TeX preamble parameters defined. In Config.methods.tex are the user defined makros. In Biblotgraphy.bib is the bibtex list of your references for this work.

In Titlepages are the Templates for the titlepages. In Chapters is the content of the document. In this manner you can create Figures or Code folders.

Cheat Sheet

For clarity stick to a maximum count of 80 characters per line.
