A latex template for students like me who
- Need to write papers / thesises
- Dislike WYSIWYG and like the charm of the Latex system
- But are too lazy to remember the clumsy syntax, commands etc.
- Like markdown for it's simplicity
This little project aims to enable a simple workflow to just start
- Install (see requirements)
- Fork & clone or download
- Set document information in Head.tex
- Write your paper in Inhalt.md.txt using your favorite editor
- Write / compile your bibliography to Literatur.bib
- Run
script/generate(in the project directory) - Et voila, your paper is there (Arbeit.pdf)
This is just how it works for me, not more.
Based on a template used at my university (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany) http://www.wi.uni-muenster.de/qm/studieren/LaTeXVorlage.html
I'm too lazy to remember LaTex commands, they're a pita to type and the extended markdown pandoc offers suits for me.
- A Unix environment (Tested under Ubuntu 10.04)
- A Tex distribution (e.g. TeXLive)
sudo apt-get install - pandoc
- ruby
On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install pandoc texlive texlive-doc-de texlive-latex-extra texlive-lang-german

- http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
- pandoc: It offers way more convert options!
- Mendeley (citation manager)
- vim-markdown, a markdown plugin for vim, the most awesome text editor
- Windows compatibility?
- Remove ruby dependence
