[Tex/LaTex] Template and model in TeXmaker

templatestexmaker

How can I create a template using TeXmaker?
I would create a default file and use it every time I need to make a new LaTeX file.

For example using MS Word it's possible save a document as model and use it every time I need it. Is it possible also in TeXmaker?

Best Answer

You can do it like this:

  1. Open an empty new file;

  2. Write there the code for your template file;

  3. Save it to a convenient location that you can remember;

  4. To open the template, do File > New by copying an existing file

This will give you a copy of your document without a file name, and you must do a Save As before compiling.

Caution: A very strong negative against templates is that you often just perpetuate the problems and poor structure of the past. So you must become diligent in keeping the template properly updated.
