Project Summary

Analyzed 6 days ago based on code collected 6 days ago.

This project should offer a ready to use LaTeX template especially for writing at university level. It provides the basic structure to get started with LaTeX immediately. For people e.g. students, scientists it seems often hard to get started with LaTeX. A distinct set of packages must be included in the "tex" header file to achieve first results. A bit confusing at the very first beginning of writing with LaTeX. Also the huge amount of basic commands are not recognized or known at the starting level too. In deed, there are huge possibilities with the available LaTeX packages and commands. But the included packages should be selected wisely to support an easy conversion to "odt" ("doc") files. As it is, sometimes "doc" files are requested. Until now i haven't found a LaTeX template which gives an easy introduction to LaTeX and which ensures the compatibility to translate LaTeX source files to "doc" files. It should also support an easy conversion to "odt" ("doc"), "pdf" and "html" in one run.

The project will define a basic file and folder structure to separate "tex" files and content like images and literature. It will also provide some scripts (shell script or batch file) to transform the "tex" files to "odt", "odf" and "html" documents via tex4ht and pdftex commands.
It should provide as well information, how to install a basic LaTeX system on the currently most used operating systems like Windows (MikTeX), Mac (MacTeX), Unix/Linux (texlive) and several IDEs which can be used uniquely on all the systems (texmaker, jabref).
