[Tex/LaTex] LaTeX template for book reading

templates

Is there any LaTeX template such that in each section I can write down my reading notes ……?

Best Answer

The best method for class notes was developed by E.W. Djikstra and hung in his office for many years.1 In his memory here is a short hack to produce notes, in his style, using the LaTeX standard book class. It is a bit rough around the edges but can give you an idea for further development.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\makeatletter
\pagestyle{plain}
%% Redefine chapter
\def\@makechapterhead#1{%
  \vspace*{10\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@ \centering \reset@font
        {\huge\hfill\hfill \bfseries EWD-\thechapter \\
        \hfill\hfill\huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak}
        \par\nobreak
        \vspace*{2\p@}%
        \vskip 100\p@
  }}

\begin{document}
\chapter{The Real Numbers}
\lipsum[1-2]
\chapter{The Imaginary Numbers}
\section{Test section}
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{document}
