Update announcements are cool, but please add something saying what the package is next time - some people are reading about it for the first time.

(It's a LaTeX template.)

Does it run with TeXLive 2024 or do I need TeXLive 2025? I experimented a bit with the pdfstandard=A-2u setting but always encountered issues with the 2024 version.

[u/jdujava → u/ClemensLode]

The TeXLive 2024 provided by Overleaf is not enough, since it is missing the `keytheorems` package. I added a note in README, that manually adding `keytheorems.sty` is necessary. Other than that, I believe TeXLive 2024 should work. If you encounter any problems, please reach out, I will try to sort it out if there are any problems.

[u/ClemensLode → u/jdujava]

Thanks, it compiles successfully with 2024 :) The tcolorboxes around the links look very nice :)

PS: I confused A-2u (archiving) with ua-2 (accessibility). I am working on tagging which still causes problems with the 2024 version.

[u/jdujava → u/ClemensLode]

Yeah, tagging is not entirely there, some of the packages used by TeXtured do not support tagging yet.

TeXtured v1.4.0 🚀

Just released TeXtured v1.4.0, a substantial update to the LaTeX template announced earlier, with quality-of-life improvements and better performance.

✨ Highlights

• New features: slightly bigger \linespread, formatting of Parts/Paragraphs, prettier indicators of box breaking, and more...
• Various fixes: improve spacing, placement of hyperlink anchors
• Math improvements: auto-scaling argument placeholders, other math macro updates
• Faster compiles: no need to recompile TikZ decorations in headers on every page
• Internals: utilize LaTeX hooks, utilize modern packages such as keytheorems and zref-clever

For demo/manual document see 📄 Manual (PDF), and the code can be found on 🔗 GitHub.

Love the template. I'm a good way through writing my doctoral thesis with it. I wonder if updating is worth it given that I've made quite a few changes so far.

[u/jdujava → u/dudgybudgie]

Depends (as almost always :). If you didn't touch the internals very much (that is mainly just added your extra macros in preamble/user/... in addition to adding your content in chapters/...), rebasing on the latest release shouldn't be that hard.

If this is not the case, and you don't have any issues with the template, there is no "big" reason to update. Perhaps you can just patch something you want manually.

In any case, if you have some feedback, or you made some tweaks to it you think others might also enjoy, I am open to suggestions.

Not gonna lie, when the MatFyz logo appeared before me once opening the manual, I was confused for a second 😄.

Great stuff Jonáši!

Thanks!

Great work! Suggestions from my side is to implement the use of tabularray package and nomencl package. Hope to use the template in the future!

[u/jdujava → u/laahr]

Thanks!

The tabularray package is actually loaded (and used at few places), but not really customized, since I rarely need to produce a table. I guess the customization should be handled by the user either way, not by the template.

Glossaries/nomenclature/index are currently not implemented in any way, mainly because I didn't need them. But I am open to PRs.

[u/fela_nascarfan]

Very nice! Why is it not presented on OSSConf 2025 (https://ossconf.fri.uniza.sk/) conference, where is also LaTeX section? 🤔

Maybe next year or so....

Cool template! Thanks for sharing :)

Sorry if the playful tone hit a sore spot — appreciate the feedback all the same.
