LaTeX class and additions for typesetting books

langscibook

LaTeX class and additions for typesetting books to be published with Language Science Press

This repository contains the most recent development build. See the latex-skeletons repository for ready to use templates.

submodules

In order to ease the installation procedure, submodules are hardwired, i.e., the files of the following langsci repositories have been already copied to the respective directories:

• biblatex-sp-unified ==> langsci/bst/biblatex-sp-unified
• langsci-fonts ==> langsci/fonts

We aim to keep repositories and directories identical.

installation

In your terminal, you can clone the repository with the following command:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/langsci/latex.git
