Do you care in the slightest about what your readers think about your document, and by proxy about you and your competence level? If yes, then a classy, typographically professional layout and structured, clear, and revealing content can only help. This template tries to aid you in both of these endeavors.
Here’s what the TeXtured Template offers:
- ✨ typographically elegant layout with various features to make your document stand out
- 🧙 clean code structure with plenty of comments to help you easily customize the template to your needs
- 🔗 seamless GitHub integration (via GitHub Actions) to streamline version control and collaboration
- 📄 PDF/A compliance and front matter supporting theses at MFF 🎓
To learn more about the design principles behind TeXtured and its capabilities, look at the
TeXtured template and provides a guide on how to use them.
Note
Please note that the documentation is still a work-in-progress 🚧, with more guides and explanations to come.
Tip
If you find something interesting or useful, but adopting the whole template is simply too much, feel free to just copy and use relevant parts of the code. Also, consider starring (⭐) the repository to help others find it!
The main part of the TeXtured template development was carried out during the preparation of:
Jonáš Dujava, Strongly Coupled Quantum Field Theory in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime [PDF] — Master Thesis
arXiv: 2507.07111 [hep-th], GitHub: jdujava/ONinAdS

Early predecessor of the TeXtured template:
Jonáš Dujava, Counting operators in Effective Field Theories [PDF] — Bachelor Thesis
arXiv: 2211.05759 [hep-th], GitHub: jdujava/CountingInEFT
Other documents utilizing the TeXtured template:
Sahil Jhawar, Data-Driven Study of Kilonovae from Binary Neutron Star Mergers [PDF] — Master Thesis
GitHub: sahiljhawar/MScThesis
Tip
If you want to showcase your work utilizing the TeXtured template, feel free to open a pull request!
Be sure to have all the dependencies installed — at least the LaTeX build tools, see below — and run
latexmk thesisin the root directory of the repository to build the document.
Tip
If you prefer to use 🍃 Overleaf, you can find the TeXtured template
v1.3.0 and later depend on keytheorems package,
which is not yet available on 🍃 Overleaf (you can however upload keytheorems.sty manually).
LaTeX build tools:
latexmk- LaTeX build toolpdflatex/lualatex- LaTeX engine (you can choose one in.latexmkrc)biber- bibliography processing tool forbiblatex
Warning
To properly build the document, the template requires TeX Live 2024 or later (otherwise, some packages may not be available, or you may encounter some bugs).
Using the latest version of TeX Live is highly recommended, which is used in the GitHub Actions workflow to build
Note
Some scripts assume linux environment. These include:
- generation of directory structure for
aux_dir(dependencies aresed,xargs) - vector figure generation (together with watermark)
- need to enable
--shell-escapein.latexmkrc inkscape- vector graphics (and SVG to PDF conversion)perl- disabling/Interpolationin PDFs generated byinkscapesed,uconv- substituting placeholders in PDF watermarkghostscript- injectingpostscriptwatermark into PDF
- need to enable
Version control (optional):
git- the preferred version control systemgit-lfs- Git Large File Storage - for storing PDFs, figures, etc.
Exceptions:
- The MFF CUNI logo
MFF-logo.pdfis property of the corresponding faculty, see MFF Visual Identity. - Figure
parallel-plate-capacitor.svg(with corresponding files) is property of Jonáš Dujava.
