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.)
