Prreamble

A LaTeX preamble package useful for compiling mathematics.

How to use

(Locally)

1. Copy the .sty file to a directory of your choosing.
2. Export the $TEXMFHOME variable in your shell to that directory. (e.g. by adding export TEXMFHOME=/path/to/dir to your ~/.bashrc)
3. Include the package in your LaTeX source file with \usepackage{prreamble}
4. Pass options like you usually would e.g. \usepackage[modern]{prreamble}

(Overleaf)

I believe overleaf is clever, and automatically configures everything in the background. Copy the .sty file into your project folder, and include it by using \usepackage{prreamble} as you usually would.

It is probably a good idea to pass the 'nomath' and 'noletters' options when first experimenting with this package as not to create endless macro clashes.

Examples

The documentation (part of this repository) is compiled using prreamble, however this is not particularly enlightening, because it is not mathematical work.

Here is a thesis compiled using this package.

Also see the samples directory for some samples showcasing how the math is typeset in the different versions.

Typo in name?

Temporarily, I called this prreamble because it was a preamble for many of my documents and my initials are rr.

Since then, I have not found a better name, so I left it at prreamble.

If you have any better names, please tell me.
