Latex Me

A command line to bootstrap Latex documents right in the shell. Documents are created from the templates located in the templates/ folder.

Below are the supported templates.

-class	\documentclass[]	template file
article	article	templates/article.tex
report	report	templates/report.tex
letter, scrlttr2	scrlttr2	templates/scrlttr2.tex
presentation, beamer	beamer	templates/beamer.tex
notes	article	templates/notes.tex

Requirements

Tcl/Expect is required, as well as the cmdline Tcl package. On Archlinux you can that the latter on AUR.

# Archlinux instructions
sudo pacman -S expect
paru -S tcllib

If you don't have installed Latex already, here is the bare minimum:

sudo pacman -S texlive-latex texlive-latexextra texlive-xetex

In the actual state, the templates require the font "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font", which can be found in the package extra/ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd on Archlinux.
