imtaLatexTemplate

LaTeX template for IMT Atlantique reports

Project creation

This package contains two LaTeX files: imta_core.sty and imta_extra.sty. The core file provides the main features for producing a report that conforms to the official IMT Atlantique style. The extra file provides advanced features, including code formatting.

Compilation

This template is intended to be compiled with pdflatex. Furthermore, it makes use of the minted package. As a consequence, the compiler needs to be passed the -shell-escape flag. In addition, as usual when wishing a table of contents, the main document should be compiled twice, so as to make sure that the references refer to the right labels. If your main document is called report.tex, use the following command to compile it:

$ pdflatex -shell-escape report.tex

In order to make the compilation step easier, this repository provides the compile.py script, written in Python 3. Running this script by simply invoking ./compile in a shell will take care of all the obnoxious compilation details. You can see this as a Makefile, run with the make command. At the first execution, the script will ask you the path of the main file, that is, the .tex file you would pass to pdflatex.

$ ./compile 
Is skeleton.tex the main file?
[yes/no]> n
Detected .tex files:
	imta_documentation.tex
Type in the path of the main file

This will create a .latexCompileSetup file, that contains a pickled Python object, representing the settings for your project.
