If you have a nice LaTeX template, please contribute it! There's no reason every single person needs to write their own thesis/TAP report/letter/etc. template.
-
Saying that, if you have a different version of something that's already here (a differently formatted thesis, for example) please still contribute - choice is no bad thing!
-
Try to bunch together related templates with an appropriate prefix (e.g., everything to do with publications beginning
pubs_). -
If you aren't a GitHub user (you should consider it!) you can click the green "code" button and then "download ZIP" to download the templates to your computer.
-
The Overleaf platform is an excellent resource to start using and collaborating with LaTeX.
-
The Overleaf "learn" pages are also a great resource to start learning LaTeX independently.
-
If you are a new LaTeX user, please do ask for help. There are plenty of people in WACL with enough experience to get you started.
