# LaTex Boilerplate
This is a simple preconfigured boilerplate for medium-sized LaTex projects including continuous integration for GitLab CI.
It's based on the `scrbook` document class and currently layed out for german scientiefic documents.
Furthermore, it provides the possibility to write documents in Markdown instead of LaTex.


## Getting Started
To use this template in a new project, either download the [ZIP](https://gitlab.com/fastexitlane/latex-boilerplate/-/archive/master/latex-boilerplate-master.zip) directly from GitLab or clone it using Git:

```bash
git@gitlab.com:fastexitlane/latex-boilerplate.git
# now set up your own Git workspace:
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin git@your-own-gitlab.host:path/to/repo.git
git push origin master
```

If you already have set up an empty Git workspace for your project, add it as additional remote and then fetch and pull:

```bash
git remote add boilerplate git@gitlab.com:fastexitlane/latex-boilerplate.git
git fetch boilerplate
git pull boilerplate master
# if you don't want to keep the remote for pulling future updates, remove it:
git remote remove boilerplate
```

In order to use the preconfigured continuous integration, make sure your GitLab CI meets the [Basic Requirements](https://gitlab.com/fastexitlane/latex-boilerplate/wikis/GitLab-CI#basic-requirements).

If you know what you're doing, simply start adding your content files in `chapter/` as LaTex `\chapter`s and `\input` them into `main.tex`.
If you do not know what you're doing or get into trouble - or want to use the **Markdown Workflow**, you may want to consider the [wiki](https://gitlab.com/fastexitlane/latex-boilerplate/wikis/home) ;-)
