Dark Theme	Light Theme	Forta Theme

Usage

The template is demonstrated with the example document in the repository:

# Get the code
git clone https://github.com/apehex/lathex-template.git && cd lathex-template/

# Build
lualatex --output-dir build/ main/book.tex
makeindex build/book.idx -s indexstyle.ist
biber main/book.tex
lualatex --output-dir build/ main/book.tex

The recommended compilers are lualatex and xetex, though pdflatex will mostly work too. The only difference will be in the fonts for the Forta theme: it imports ttf files, which cannot be handled by pdflatex.

Template structure

The project has the following tree:

< PROJECT ROOT >
   |
   |-- bibliography/          # The references
   |
   |-- build/                 # Where the compiled pdf will pop, as well as temp files
   |
   |-- images/                # Assets used in the document
   |
   |-- sections/              # All the individual sections
      |
      |-- part1/              # The sections of the first part
      |
      |-- appendices/         # The appendices at the end of the document
   |
   |-- template/              # The actual template definition, independent from the document it presents
   |
   |-- context.tex            # Optional script with the metadata (author, revision, date, etc)
   |
   |-- main.tex               # The script that assembles all the parts into one document
