Description
A ready-to-edit LaTeX template for book-style compilations.
Notes
-
If you are planning to write a book-length compilation in LaTeX, then feel free to use book-template.tex file from this repo.
-
For the look-and-feel of final output/book, see this PDF file. To be able to generate this PDF (and other output formats such as DVI), make sure you have TeX and LaTeX macro package installed. Change the current working directory to the directory containing book-template.tex and then use TeX/LaTeX tools to generate the output file. For more details, GIYF (i.e. Google Is Your Friend).
Useful resources
- If you are new to LaTeX, I'll strongly recommend that you use Gummi and LaTeXila LaTeX editors together to edit LaTeX files. I especially like the "Live Preview" option of Gummi which shows the PDF preview in real-time (correspoding to the LaTeX source edits made by the user).
- Books about TeX and Friends webpage on TeX Users Group website.
