LaTeX Boilerplates

Kudos for this great, yet simple and lean toolchain! Anyone familiar with command line tools and a corresponding aversion for bloated WYSIWYG apps will second the underlying idea…

Man, that example CV is beautifully simple. It's so weird to see a CV that's not peppered with acronyms.

They look great. Installing pandoc is a pain, though. My CV is LaTeX as well—using the moderncv template—and I build it regularly on both GNU/Linux and Mac OS X:…

Oh, needs Make. Probably not easy on Windows..

Using templates with low-level formatting commands defeats the point in LaTeX being about high-level semantic macros. Why not define an \author macro? The YAML input and the…

I think what parent comment was getting at is that you shouldn't be generating LaTeX in the first place. Instead use LaTeX macros to pull the data from the source files. Probably…

It sounds like a good idea, until you need to write advanced mathematical documents, in which case it all breaks down. Any tips to make a latex pandoc workflow viable for…

Is your Haskell -> tex -> SVG/EPS open source by any chance? I'd love to both study the .hs (to further my learning), but I also have a need to make some documents.

It would be nice if the website had the corrospinding markdown for comparison.

One thing I didn't really see in that post is why not just LaTeX directly. Is it just that you prefer Markdown syntax? (Which I guess is a valid reason.)

ShareLaTeX also maintain a pretty handy database of LaTeX Templates/Boilerplates: https://www.sharelatex.com/templates

I just use a Makefile[1] for this, I just type 'make', and it builds it and uses xdg-open to open it in my PDF viewer. Much faster than waiting for ShareLaTeX or similar web apps…

You can try latexmk, it does almost all of the work when building LaTeX (including getting cross-references right) and can even watch for changes and rebuild the document when…

We've been taking a similar approach at overleaf[1], where our rich text mode let's non-LaTeX users write papers without needing to code. We've also had success in working with…
