AAU Typst Template

The widely used AAU LaTeX report template, rewritten in Typst.

Template Overview

This project contains the following templates:

  • Report template

This is the general template, it contains good examples of how to use Typst for common tasks.

  • Report template (empty) (based on Report template)

This is an empty version of the report template. It doesn't contain examples, only filled with lorem ipsum.

  • Singlepage Template (based on Report template)

This template shows how to use the template without 'complicated' folder structure.

Where to get the templates

The templates are generated for each commit, and every release. You can get the latest 'stable'-template on releases page.

Every release and commit also contains artifacts with compiled versions (PDFs) to show how they're going to look.

Using a template with Typst.app

If you've just barely convinced your group to make use of Typst, then using the web app is probably ideal. It will be familar to Overleaf users, as it resembles a lot, just without all the UI clutter.

This shows how to import the Report template:

Typst.app doesn't currently support dragging folders, therefore the folders should be created manually, and files dragged in accordingly. Folder name casing is important.

Template Structure

This is an overview of the folders/files in the root of this repository:

Each template contains the following:

  • AAUgraphics Contains the graphics used in the template.

  • main.typ This is the main source, it includes any other files, and this file is the sole target for the compiler, if you want to compile locally, run typst compile main.typ.

  • template.typ The main template file. This file is located in report-template (and a copy is stored in singlefile-template). This file uses the graphics located in AAUgraphics.

Inspiration

This project replicates the (semi-official) AAU report template located at jkjaer/aauLatexTemplates.

If you still insist on using LaTeX, then my good friend, @Tosuma, has improved the AAU LaTeX template considerately: Tosuma/AAU-Latex-Template-English.
