/tufte-xelatex

A fork of the tufte-inspired latex class. Using modern libraries and Xelatex

Primary LanguageTeX

Sadly the "official" tufte-latex repository seems unmaintained, isues and pull-requests are left untouched for years now. Contributing to the mainrepository seems of little use in 2022. This fork merged some of the open pull-requests, tries to modernize the package and maintains a CHAIR specific style in a branch.

Quick Start

Try typesetting sample-handout.tex with the following command,

xelatex sample-handout

or open it in TeXstudio.

The result should look like sample-handout.pdf.

The sample book is not yet converted to xelatex.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter errors of the form,

! LaTeX Error: File `paralist.sty' not found.

you will need to obtain missing packages from CTAN. For package installation instructions and answers to many other questions, see the UK TeX FAQ or search the comp.text.tex group.

The following packages are required:

  • chngpage or changepage
  • fancyhdr
  • fontenc
  • tabularray
  • geometry
  • hyperref
  • natbib and bibentry
  • optparams
  • paralist
  • placeins
  • ragged2e
  • setspace
  • textcase
  • textcomp
  • titlesec
  • titletoc
  • xcolor
  • xifthen

The following packages are optional and will be automatically used if installed:

  • beramono
  • helvet
  • ifpdf
  • ifxetex
  • letterspace (in the microtype package)
  • mathpazo
  • soul
