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.
Here’s what the **TeXtured** Template offers:
- ✨ **typographically elegant layout** with various features to make your document stand out
- 🧙 **clean code structure** with plenty of comments to help you easily customize the template to your needs
- 🔗 **seamless GitHub integration** (via GitHub Actions) to streamline version control and collaboration
- 📄 **PDF/A compliance** and *front matter* supporting theses at [MFF](https://www.mff.cuni.cz/en) 🎓
To learn more about the design principles behind `TeXtured` and its capabilities, look at the
[
](https://jdujava.github.io/TeXtured/thesis.pdf).
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 🚧,
> 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.
## 🏗️ Building
Be sure to have all the dependencies installed (at least the LaTeX build tools), and run
```sh
latexmk thesis
```
in the root directory of the repository to build the thesis.
> [!TIP]
> If you prefer to use 🍃 `Overleaf`, you can find the `TeXtured` template
> [
](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/textured/zwtzzwgddbsh)
> there as well.
## 📦 Software Dependencies
LaTeX build tools:
- `latexmk` - LaTeX build tool
- `pdflatex`/`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
> [](https://jdujava.github.io/TeXtured/thesis.pdf).
> [!NOTE]
> Some scripts assume `linux` environment. These include:
> - generation of directory structure for `aux_dir` (dependencies are `sed`, `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 by `inkscape`
> + `sed` - substituting placeholders in PDF watermark
> + `ghostscript` - injecting `postscript` watermark into PDF
Version control (optional):
- `git` - (obviously) the preferred version control system
- `git-lfs` - [Git Large File Storage](https://git-lfs.github.com/) - for storing PDFs, figures, etc.
