[LaTeX][latex] is a typesetting program

for producing high quality technical documents.

Formatting LaTeX documents is difficult and modifying pre-built

templates often require extensive knowledge of the template.

This repository contains simple LaTeX templates for common documents.

Screenshots of each template are available on [this webpage][www],

which is automatically created from `generate.py`.

See my other LaTeX projects at [bamos/cv][cv] and

[bamos/beamer-snippets][beamer-snippets].

# Writing Check

[btford/write-good][write-good] is a naive linter for English prose

and works well on LaTeX documents.

If `write-good` is installed, the Makefile's in this project will output

a list of warnings and tips for improving writing after

building the LaTeX documents.



# Contributing

Contributions are highly welcomed!

If you want to add a similar template, please add to

the [latex-templates](/latex-templates) directory and I'm happy to merge pull requests.

If you want to use the static webpage generation framework to present

a different set of templates with other motivations,

I'm happy to link to your project here.



# Webpage Generation Process

The Python 3 script [generate.py][gen] produces a static website in `dist`.

`generate.py` loops through the collection of snippets and uses

[Jinja][jinja] templates to output LaTeX documents.



This project uses [Grunt][grunt] to deploy `dist` to [Github pages][ghp]

in the [gh-pages][lt-ghp] branch with the [grunt-build-control][gbc] plugin.

[package.json][pjson] manages the [npm][npm] dependencies.

Running `npm install` installs the dependencies.



+ `grunt generate` produces the static site in `dist`, and

+ `grunt deploy` pushes the `dist` directory to the `gh-pages` branch.



# Similar Projects

There are many approaches to sharing LaTeX templates online,

and this project uniquely adds a static webpage generation process

to generate previews of templates managed in Git.

The following list shows a short sampling of projects,

and I'm happy to merge pull requests of other projects.
