This template is for a science textbook. The license is Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal.
The template originated from the author's search for a professional textbook style with the same level of quality as the most "elegant" looking books in his own library of math and computer science books.
This search ended when the author realized that the default latex book style produces the same style he was looking for. That style is exemplified by the classic computer science textbook "Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools", also known as "The Dragon Book".
The goal of this template is provide a minimal working example of a large textbook in the default style so you can see, for example, what a Table of Contents or an Index spanning multiple pages will look like. Please view the compiled PDF.
Edward Tufte is a pioneer in the field of data visualization, and his works inspired the creation of two LaTeX classes for books and handouts.
Here we present the excellent sample book produced by the The Tufte-LaTeX Developers pre-loaded into Overleaf (formerly writeLaTeX) for you to use as a starting point for your own work.
Simply click the button above to use Overleaf to create and edit your article - there's nothing to install and no sign up required. When you're finished, use our integrated publish to figshare option to publish your work freely online.

PS: If you're new to LaTeX, our free online LaTeX course covers all the steps you need to get you started.
A LaTeX book template refactored and enhanced from Pandoc's LaTeX template. (Traditional) Chinese options are set up such that compilation should work on overleaf (e.g., without the need to provide your own fonts).
