elegantex

Motivation

This LaTeX template was initially created for my diploma thesis at HTL Spengergasse. Due to the good feedback from my teachers and other colleagues, I decided to make it publicly available.

Setup

Git Setup

If you use LaTeX inside of a Git repository, it is recommended to add this repository as a Git submodule:

git submodule add https://github.com/lukasl-dev/elegantex

Manual Setup

You can use it manually by creating a elegantex directory and move the elegantex.cls file into it:

> tree
.
├── elegantex
│   └── elegantex.cls
└── main.tex

2 directories, 2 files

You probably want to go for the manual approach when you want to customise the template.

Usage

This template can be used as document class inside of your .tex file:

\documentclass{elegantex/elegantex}

After declaring the document class, you can define the following parameters:

\title{EleganTeX} % required
\subtitle{Template} % optional
\author{Lukas Leeb} % optional
\slogan{A LaTeX class for elegant articles} % optional
\logo{logo_transparent.png} % optional

Title Page

The regular \maketitle LaTeX command is overriden by the template. You can use it inside of your document body:

\begin{document}
    \maketitle
    
    \section{History}

    A brief history of time...
\end{document}
