This repository contains a custom LaTeX .sty file (allan.sty) tailored for math writing. Designed primarily for the author's personal convenience, it streamlines the creation of mathematical documents by providing specialized commands, environments, and styles.
I started this repository initially on the purpose of beautifying essays during mathematical modelling contests (first tried during MCM 2022), but it can also be used as a rather explicit and fancy way of displaying maths in LaTeX.
- Optimized for Math Writing: Simplifies notation and formatting for mathematical content.
- Custom Commands: Handy aliases and macros to reduce repetitive code.
- Read-Only Development: The repository is tailored for personal use and does not accept pull requests or modifications to aliases, but is welcome to technical / programming advice.
- Clone or download the repository.
- Place the
.styfile in your LaTeX project directory or a location included in the LaTeX path. - For a global setting, if you use MiKTeX as I do, go to the ‘Settings’ in the sidebar → ‘Directory’ tab, and put the file in one of the TEXMF root directories (create one if there isn't any).
- Add
\usepackage{allan}to your LaTeX document preamble to activate the template.
Being in the same mathematical modelling group stOOrz, I noticed that it is a good but simple style for LaTeX. Therefore, for my own uses, I forked this repository and did some edits for easier formatting in my documents.
According to the MIT License, everyone is free to own a copy of this style file, but be sure to credit me and Allan when you edit on this file.
