Latex Helper Templates

This is a collection of my Latex files that have been very helpful during uni.

longformnotes is designed to be a long document that contains notes from units. To me, this has been my massive reference file for a unit, kinda like a mini textbook for the unit
- Has a lot of customisation/speciality things I've added for units as I've needed them
1pagers is a template for when you need 1 page (or 2) of notes to take into a test. It's compacted and compressed, and can contain a hell of a lot of content.
- Fairly simple, not much fancy stuff going on here, other than using a specific document class to get fancy visuals.
reports is as it sounds, my standard report format for assignments, lab reports, etc.
- has a bibliography and refs file, set citation style in package options for biblatex

Latex needs to installed to use these documents, see installation instructions here.

These may work in overleaf, I have not tested it though.

Features/Optional Things

There are a few bespoke things that I've added to my latex setup over the years. The 'features' (more really options) are:

Index notes in Margins (marginnotes)
- Sometimes you need to print all your notes. Hyperlinks don't really work here, but adding index entries to the margins of document means it's easy to find what you want with a physical copy.
- Note that this is really finicky, be careful with changes
List of Algorithms/Pseudocode
- Creates a list of figures style list of algorithms
Boxes
- Creates a few different boxes (like callouts) that I use to mark examples, important information, etc.
Code
- Obviously including code is very useful for reports, there's not really much custom stuff here but it's a good reminder of my preferred ways to include code (there's a lot of options)
Maths Stuff
- Some useful maths tidbits, and including some useful packages
Misc
- contains a todo tag I use to remind myself whats still left to do
