Typesetting Automation
TeX's purpose is to achieve the best possible automated typography. These boilerplates get you started in seconds using tools you probably already know about. Forget about MS Word.
The boilerplates leverage the powerful Pandoc to grab the content from YAML and Markdown files, populate a LaTeX template, and output a high-quality PDF through XƎTeX.
Each boilerplate is thoroughly documented. Pick a template above and check out the README for detailed instructions on how to get started.
Use all your system fonts out of the box and adjust the margins just by changing one setting. There is even built-in support for a custom letterhead.
