# Latex Toolbox

Useful Latex macros / setup for grad students derived from my masters thesis.



The choice of packages and macros included/recommended by this repo has one goal in mind:



**Make writing a large LaTex document as simple and configurable as possible while producing a beautiful looking document.**



# Whats included



Additional documentation found in each file  



#### Selectively Compile Directory

Minimal Working Example of the selective compile setup I used in my MS thesis



#### algorithmUtil.sty

Macros and setup I found to be useful when typesetting algorithms

- `for each` loop

- macros for typesetting pseudo code



Package options

- **topSpace**: length unit string indicating how much space to use for `\algoTopSpace` macro

- **disable**: boolean flag to indicating that the space added by the `\algoTopSpace` macro should not be applied. `\algoTopSpace` macro still exists but does not add space

- **smallerText**: boolean flag indicating the font size of the `algorithmic` environment should be `\footnotesize`



#### generalUtil.sty

Small collection of useful macros I have written for

- Better justification of `\texttt`

- Bold blue, brown, red, text

- An edit footnote that is number separately and has a different symbol

- Macro to tighten up the spacing between list environment items  



#### graphicsUtil.sty

Collection of useful macros that wrap `\includegraphics`

- Graphics manipulation while keeping the graphics aspect ratio

- Macros combining `\centering` and `\ContinuedFloat`  

- Macros for adding additional padding to space about `figure` environments



Optional package options

- **topSpace**:  length unit string indicating how much space to use for `\figureTopSpace` macro

- **doubleTopSpace**: length unit string indicating how much (2x) space to use for `\figureTopDoubleSpace` macro

- **disable**: boolean flag to indicating that the space added by the `\figureTopSpace` and `\figureTopDoubleSpace` macros should not be applied. Macro still exists but do not add space



#### mintedUtil.sty

Collection of useful macros for the `minted` package

- Reduce space after minted environments but before `\caption`

- Macros for minting: HTML, JS, CSS, Java, Python, HTTP, Bash, JSON

- Macros for inline minting: HTML, JS, CSS



#### tableUtil.sty

- Macro for per table changes to `\arraystretch`

- Macros for adding space above a table



Optional package options

- **topSpace**:  length unit string indicating how much space to use for `\tableTopSpace` macro

- **doubleTopSpace**: length unit string indicating how much (2x) space to use for `\tableTopDoubleSpace` macro

- **disable**: boolean flag to indicating that the space added by the `\tableTopSpace` and `\tableTopDoubleSpace` macros should not be applied. Macro still exists but do not add space



#### urlUtil.sty

- Adjusts `biburllcpenalty` and `biburlucpenalty` to ensure URLs do not escape margins

- Adds additional URL breaks used when the `breaklinks` option is used with the `hyperref` package

- Macro to include non-hyperlinked URLs in text that break (line wrap) easily

- Macro to add a hyperlinked URL as a footnote



#### recommendedPackages.sty

Opinionated package recommendation (in proper load order) featuring:

- Typography improvements

- Math mode / symbol improvements

- Source code syntax highlighting

- Easy quotes

- Improved bibliography management

- Algorithm typesetting

- Easy captioning and subfigures

- Pretty tables

- Simple referencing and URL handling



#### IEETransactionsNetworkingJournalModel.sty

Old Dominion University [requires](https://www.odu.edu/content/dam/odu/offices/graduate-studies/thesis-dissertation/docs/thesis_dissertation_guide.pdf) a journal model to be followed for citation, figure/table caption styling.



This style file will configure your latex document, in combination with the  [oduwsdl/wsdlthesis](https://github.com/oduwsdl/wsdlthesis) document class, to conform to the IEE Transactions Networking journal style.
