brandstyler automatically adapts the
style of a LaTeX document to that of a specific organisation.
It is also compatible with beamer, able to change
the style of many beamerthemes. It currently supports the
adaption of fonts and colours.
Run the following in the command line:
- If brandstyler.ins is present:
pdflatex brandstyler.ins - If brandstyler.ins is absent:
pdflatex brandstyler.dtx
Move .sty and .cls files to a folder that TeX can find.
Run the following in the command line:
pdflatex brandstyler.dtx
makeindex -s gind.ist -o brandstyler.ind brandstyler.idx
makeindex -s gglo.ist -o brandstyler.gls brandstyler.glo
pdflatex brandstyler.dtx
This automatically unpacks the package, as well.
If you are looking for comments or documentation, you won't find any in the source. These packages make use of literate programming, which means that the documentation is given in the form of a pdf file. You can probably find brandstyler.pdf in this folder, by running "texdoc --view brandstyler" in the command line, or Googling "[your distribution] how to find package documentation". If you're using MiKTeX, open MiKTeX console, go to "Documentation" and look for "brandstyler".
Contributions of custom brand styles are highly encouraged. Please create a pull request on our GitHub repository at https://github.com/JesseStraat/brandstyler. Make sure to follow the following guidelines:
- Brand style files should follow the same structure as the ones supplied in this package.
- The file should be implemented and documented in
brandstyler.dtx. Don't forget to update the list of files. - Come up with a sensible, unique identifier. For example,
Utrecht University was named
uu-nlinstead ofuuto discern it from Uppsala Universitet (which should be nameduu-se). For country abbreviations, make sure to follow ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standards. - If possible, use freely available or open source fonts.
- Never include logos; they are protected by copyright, and hence cannot be part of this open source project.
If you don't have the technical knowledge to make a brand style, feel free to open an issue on GitHub requesting one. Please include a link to an official style guide.
