Latex-Starter

This is my latex starter project for use with vscode. It is setup for A4 [https://apastyle.apa.org/](APA-Style papers) as default but can be easily changed just like any LateX project. Some workarounds and configurations to use it with the german language are included but can be removed or adapted to other localizations.

It features

• 🗄️ A Solid base structure of
  • 📄 Document itself
  • 📂 Source files
• 👨‍💻 Nice vscode working environment familiar to many programmers
• 🌐 Github actions to preview/download resulting PDF online
• ✍️ Really good Grammar, Style and Spell Checking by languagetool
• ❓ Examples for common things in LateX like
  • Citing with biblatex
  • Tables
  • PDF embeddings
  • Picture embeddings
  • Links and Table of content

Github actions are configured to

• Automatically build a pdf file
• Make it available as artifact in the build
• Deploy it to gh-pages branch for github pages (see preview online) You may have to turn off github pages in the repository settings or switch them to master, then back to gh-pages branch as source for it to work
