# Latex templates



This is a repository of all my latex templates. I've done my best to document every line of code for these themes so that you can understand what it does and delete/modify things as you see fit. You can see a live preview of each one here:

## Latex Slides

This latex slide aims for nice typography, minimal aesthetics so the focus is on the content, and a set of helpful commands including easily colored words, full-size image frames, table highlighting, multi-column layouts, and more. The theme is highly customizable with (1) a well commented `slides.sty` file so you can tweak it and make it your own and (2) by defining the colors in the top of your document:



```latex

% Define `accent`/`accent2` colors for theme customization

\definecolor{accent}{HTML}{006896}

\definecolor{accent2}{HTML}{E64173}

\usepackage{slides}

```



## Latex Article

This is how I write my papers. There's not many special bells and whistles, but I think it looks nice and clean. 



### Math commands



I have a set of math commands in `math.sty` that borrow heavily from [Pascal Michaillat](https://github.com/pmichaillat/latex-math). See the document for examples of what I've included.



### Easily-hideable comments in paper



This also includes a very useful way to leave notes in a document. Then, you can comment `\kyle{Thoughts here}` to leave a comment. Toggling `\booltrue` to `\boolfalse` will hide the comments from the document.



```tex

% Conditionally display thoughts (hide by switching to `\boolfalse`)

\booltrue{INCLUDECOMMENTS}

\newcommand{\kyle}[1]{\coauthorComment[Kyle]{#1}}

```



#### Use `biblatex` instead of `natbib`



In paper.sty, replace

```tex

\usepackage{natbib}

\bibliographystyle{econ-aea}

```

with 

```tex

\usepackage[

  style = chicago-authordate,

  doi = true, 

  backend = biber,

  natbib = true

]{biblatex}

\usepackage[authordate, backend = biber]{biblatex-chicago}

```



2. Add the following 



In the main document, do the following: 

1. Add `\addbibresource{references.bib}` before `\begin{document}`

2. Replace `\bibliography{references.bib}` with ` `



## Response to Referees



[](thumbnails/referee-response-1.png)



The goal of this is to make referee reports look nice and make it easy to structure the document. For each referee, use this to create a section with the referee:



```tex

\NewRef{Referee 1}{R1}

```



Then for each comment, wrap the referee's comment with a `refcomment` environment and it will create a subsection and automatically number the comments

```tex

\begin{refcomment}



\end{refcomment}

```



## .gitignore



This is a recommended set of files to include in `.gitignore` to not commit ugly latex auxiliary files:



```text

*.aux

*.lof

*.log

*.lot

*.fls

*.out

*.toc

*.fmt

*.fot

*.cb

*.cb2

.*.lb

*.bbl

*.bcf

*.blg

*.fdb_latexmk

*.run.xml

*.synctex.gz

*.nav

*.snm

*.listing

*.vrb

```
