Simple LaTeX Report Template

This is a simple hello-world starter document for LaTeX in a style suitable for your assignment report. It includes:

  • Basic outline for a scientific paper
  • Bibliography
  • Hyperlinks
  • Unicode input

You are not required to use this template. This is only there to help you get started if you do not already have a LaTeX workflow.

Using the Template

The basic commands to compile the LaTeX document are:

lualatex report-template.tex
biber report-template
lualatex report-template.tex
lualatex report-template.tex

This will generate report-template.pdf.

It may seem strange to run the same command multiple times, but LaTeX uses the multiple passes to settle things like bibliography cross-references. State between runs is saved in the many output files that LaTeX generates (.aux, .bbl, and so on).

Makefile

There is also a Makefile in this directory that will run the commands for you. If you have make installed, just run it.

make

You can also run make clean to remove generated files.
