For those who are concerned in writing Framework 7 Proposal (FP7), but dislike using MS Word, Open/Libre-Office or any WYSIWYG this resource is for you!
The context
After a long search around the web, it seems that no LaTeX template could be found for FP7. The only LaTeX class found is eurpoposal.cls, but it seems deprecated and do not feet anymore the official Rich Text Format (OMG) template. So i made it myself!
Usage
As I am not a LaTeX guru, i just made a .tex template file. Nevertheless, I just need to precize a few points about this template distribution.
XeLaTeX
It uses XeLaTeX to call system fonts instead of LaTeX embedded ones. If the ubuntu font family is not installed on your system, you can use the whatever-font-you-want http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueType by changing the following lines (5 to 7) in the .tex preamble:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | % -- Fonts (XeLaTeX)
\usepackage{fontspec} %for loading fonts
\usepackage{xunicode,xltxtra}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setmainfont{Ubuntu}
\setsansfont{Ubuntu}
\setmonofont{Ubuntu}

Makefile-latex
To compile the proposal latex source, I recently discovered the latex-makefile project and integrated it. By default, latex-makefile uses latex to compile. To use xelatex, create a Makefile.ini with the following line
1 | BUILD_STRATEGY:=xelatex
|
And then to compile, simply type:
1 | prompt@bash:~ $ make
|
This will generate a PDF file of your proposal. And to clean up your directory with messy auxiliary files, type:
1 | prompt@bash:~ $ make clean
|
Availability
- LaTeX source: FP7-LaTeX-Template.tgz
- PDF demo: MC-IOF-XX.pdf
Have fun with LaTeX and your proposal!
OMG, the deadline is near! Focus, focus, focus ...
