# ctk-memo Format
The `ctk-memo` Quarto template is a general purpose memo template, designed to aesthetically align with the [`ctk-article` template](https://github.com/christopherkenny/ctk-article).

## Installing
```bash
quarto use template christopherkenny/ctk-memo
```
This will install the format extension and create an example qmd file
that you can use as a starting place for your document.
## Using `ctk-memo`
This extension builds your Quarto documents using a Typst backend.
[Typst](https://github.com/typst/typst).
This template is relatively simple.
Some options you can set:
- `title`: A title of the document.
- `authors`: Author names to use. Only names are used, not affiliations.
- `header-left`: A left header, typically a short title
- `header-right`: A right header, typically names or last names
### Fonts
By default, the `ctk-memo` format uses the Spectral font. This can be installed from [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Spectral).
To check that it is installed, run:
```
quarto typst fonts
```
If no font by the name "Spectral" is found, it falls back to Crimson Text. This can be installed from [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Crimson+Text).
If no font by the names "Spectral", "Crimson Text", or "Crimson" is found, the template falls back to Linux Libertine.
This backup font of Crimson Text is chosen to look like [Cory McCartan's cmc-article](https://github.com/corymccartan/cmc-article) which uses Cochineal.
