Welcome to my personal template! To use the full potential of this awesome template, you’ll need to know some things:
- This template uses variables to keep some information constant throughout the file. These can be located at the “variables” section
- A title page is also available using all of these variables
- You can change the babel language using the following command before the preamble:
\PassOptionsToPackage{YOUR_LANGUAGE}{babel}. If not, it’ll default to English
This template in its current state supports the following languages for some misc things (theorem title, exercise title, etc):
- Spanish
- English
This template uses some variables to make some information consistent throughout the file:
| doctitle | Document title (ex. Template) |
| doctype | Document type (ex. Notes, Documentation, etc) |
| headerauthor | Abreviated author names, this will be displayed in the header of every page |
| authorname | Author name (ex. Zygmut). If your document has more than one author this variable should include your names separated by // |
| authorcontact | Author contact information. I tend to put my email and some legal identification document (ex. NIF, Passport) |
| institution | Name of your institution (ex. Massachusetts Institute of Technology) |
| institutionImage | Used only in the titlepage. Defined as the path to your institution image (ex. img/MIT.png). If you dislike this feature use \def\institutionImage{} |
| group | Group number. Some institutions divide classes on various groups, so you can use this to display your group (ex. Group 01) |
This template comes with some custom commands I regularly use
| rom | Given some number, prints it’s roman representation (ex. \rom{5} -> V) |
| ccbox | Given a color and it’s box content, creates a box with that color as background (ex. \ccbox{red}{hello}) |
| cbox | Given it’s box content, creates a box with a white background and that content (ex. \cbox{hello}) |
Enviroments use the \begin{} \end{} syntax. These are some custom ones that I use
| code | Given the font size and the programming language, prints the code with some code highlighting (ex. \begin{code}{\scriptsize}{python} … \end{code}) |
| definition | Theorem enviroment that formats it’s contents to a green box |
| example | Theorem enviroment that formats it’s contents to a blue box |
| exercise | Theorem enviroment that puts it’s contents between two red lines. It whould be noted that the solution to this exercise has another enviroment. Furthermore, I usually use square brackets argument to post a link to the solution i.e \begin{exercise}[Solution\ref{sol:this_exercise}] … \end{exercise} |
| solution | Theorem enviroment that puts it’s contents with a red label. It whould be noted that the exercise to this solution has another enviroment. Furthermore, I usually use square brackets argument to post a link to the exercise i.e \begin{solution}[Exercise\ref{ex:this_solution}] … \end{solution} |
