brandstyler

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.

Installation

Run the following in the command line:

1. If brandstyler.ins is present: pdflatex brandstyler.ins
2. If brandstyler.ins is absent: pdflatex brandstyler.dtx

Move .sty and .cls files to a folder that TeX can find.

Documentation

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".

Contributing

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:

1. Brand style files should follow the same structure

as the ones supplied in this package.

1. The file should be implemented and documented in

brandstyler.dtx. Don't forget to update the list of files.

1. Come up with a sensible, unique identifier. For example,

Utrecht University was named uu-nl instead of uu to discern it from Uppsala Universitet (which should be named uu-se). For country abbreviations, make sure to follow ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standards.

1. If possible, use freely available or open source fonts.
2. 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.
