This is a somewhat elaborate template for a book. See book template, for a simpler one.
This template uses \frontmatter
, \mainmatter
, and \backmatter
to control the typography of the three main areas of a book (see \frontmatter & \mainmatter & \backmatter). The book has a bibliography and an index.
Also notable is that it uses \include
and \includeonly
(see Splitting the input). While you are working on a chapter you can comment out all the other chapter entries from the argument to \includeonly
. That will speed up compilation without losing any information such as cross-references. (Material that does not need to come on a new page is brought in with \input
instead of \include
. You don’t get the cross-reference benefit with \input
.)
