LaTeX Theme Editor

[Siddharth Jain]

Hi All,

I wanted to share a LaTeX Theme Editor / Document Template Builder I have built. The idea: you start with a pre-curated template and can then customize it using a WYSIWYG editor. You can check it out here. Let me know what you think. Thanks for checking it out.

Thanks. Is this for use with LuaTex?

No. It works with normal LaTeX.

Very interesting. I'm away from base at the moment, more when I get back tomorrow.

Thanks Peter. If you like it, please help spread the word. Related there is also a PDF spell checker I have developed that runs completely in the browser. If you are the author of a LaTeX document you should use a LaTeX spell checker but sometimes you are not the author and do not have access to the LaTeX source. The PDF spell checker can be found here.

It seems to generate a Preamble for the article document class (but it
could be edited for book or report)

This is very impressive and should appeal to a lot of people.
My major concern is support.

If you have no access to the original source, it is not clear to me why
you would want to spellcheck the PDF.

LuaLaTeX is the currently supported processor, so that should be the
default. It should be easy to switch: replace fontenc and inputenc with
fontspec, and use \setmainfont, \setsansfont, and \setmonofont instead
of the font packages (some of the packages support LuaLaTeX, some
don't). Everything else should be OK.

I don't know anyone using the original LaTeX, but there are still people
using pdflatex, which is no longer being developed (and XeLaTeX
development has also stopped). LuaLaTeX supports Unicode, which pdflatex
doesn't really handle, and it also lets you use any TTF/OTF font on your
system, not the old Type1 fonts.

At the moment it deals with six aspects of the design:

8 base designs (article only)
Typeface and baseline
Headings levels 1–3 only, font weight and spacing above/below
Paper size and four margins
Colour for body text, links, and "accent" (headings)
Running headers and footers (page number, section, or custom text)

What else do people want for a document design?

Bibliographic citation and reference (use biblatex and biber)
List styles (use the enumitem package)
Figure and Table styles (use the float package)
Option for a \raggedright document
Extend to book and report classes
Redesign of \maketitle

I have added this to the section on generated document design at
https://latex.silmaril.ie/formattinginformation/layouts.html#designtools

Thanks Peter. I will look into your feedback. Thanks also for listing my tool on your website. Re: your comment on the PDF spell checker. Sometimes I am the reviewer of an article or a book. I don't have access to the source code but still would like to verify the document does not have any spelling mistakes.
