Finally, a full XeLaTeX environment using Google docs. 
Very fast compilation and online rendering to pdf.. Best of all Google docs format,change tracking and collaboration.

Hi Ben,

Not sure anyone is active anymore, as I haven’t heard from them in a long while.
Where is the google doc you mention?

Regarding document templates, one solution is to treat them as actual templates, i.e. the user would copy / paste an empty template and write in it. You need to load a package behind the scenes in order to keep the template clean and streamlined. It would be good if we could set a framework for naming the macros and environments we use, so that you could change the country by loading a different language.

Actually, I think it would be good if an anglosaxon lawyer could do it, because I really don’t know how to name them.

I only use Github as an only repository and compile on my computer, I don’t know the other tools

Best,
Flora

I still use it often.  It happens to be a great way to work on a LaTeX project.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks! Such templates are very easy to produce, I think. I mande some of them in French in just a few hours (though I think US ones may have more specific typography requirements). The hardest part was actually finding an existing Word template to reproduce.

If you have a style guide / basic template that is publicly available, I think I may be able to at least start something.

Here's what my attempt produced :

An error occurred. This is the log:

The service seems rather nascent, from the appearance of the only documentation I could find ...

Rob, what were you trying to do?

I just created a blank document then clicked the compile link. Also tried adding some numbered lists, headings etc.

​Attach a copy of your document.  I'll take a look at it.​

I'm using the chrome browser on windows 10, and I clicked on the website to create a blank document. That's it.

Ok.  At a minimum you'll need the below for it to compile. 
I use full LaTeX headers for my document, and Weavr compiles it all, pretty much no matter what package you want to use it has them all.  The fonts are everything that is native to TEX plus all of Google Fonts.

 The "@" symbol tell Weavr you have a "chunk" to process, the  "<<input.tex>>=" tells you its a LaTeX chunk, and the ending @ tells Weavr that is the end of your LaTeX chunk.

@


<<input.tex>>=

\documentclass[12pt,english]{article}



\begin{document}



Write stuff here.

\end{document}

Rob, how did that work out for you?

The idea of using literate programming with latex is interesting, 
from a tool developer perspective, but there's not enough
information of what else you can do with chunks.
Also error reporting, in my experience is indispensible.

 I don't really use the literate programming part.  I just use it to have the fine grained change tracking system, collaboration and unlimited cloud based storage that is part of google docs available for my LaTeX needs.
