New on CTAN: texplate
by CTAN Announcements 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

Paulo Roberto Massa Cereda submitted the texplate package. Version: 1.0.0 2020-01-14 License: bsd3 Summary description: A tool for creating document structures based on templates Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TeXplate is a tool for creating document structures based on templates. The application name is a word play on “TeX” and “template”, so the purpose seems quite obvious: we want to provide an easy and straightforward framework for reducing the typical code boilerplate when writing TeX documents. Also note that one can easily extrapolate the use beyond articles and theses: the application is powerful enough to generate any text-based structure, given that a corresponding template exists.
