book template ¶This is a somewhat elaborate template for a book. See book template,
for a simpler one.
This template uses \frontmatter, \mainmatter, and
\backmatter to control the typography of the three main areas
of a book (see \frontmatter, \mainmatter, \backmatter). The
book has a bibliography and an index.
Also notable is that it uses \include and \includeonly
(see Splitting the input). While you are working on a chapter you
can comment out all the other chapter entries from the argument to
\includeonly. That will speed up compilation without losing
any information such as cross references. (Material that does not
need to come on a new page is brought in with \input instead of
\include. You don’t get the cross reference benefit with
\input.)
