What is PaperShell?
PaperShell is a set of curated LaTeX templates designed to make it easy to start a new document with a clean, consistent structure. Each template is ready to compile and includes the packages, layout, and conventions typically required for its target format.
Templates are generated automatically and kept consistent across formats, so switching from one document type to another does not require rewriting your source.
Available templates
- Conference and journal papers
- Technical reports
- Books and theses
All templates share a similar structure and build system, so once you know one, you know them all.
Why another template collection?
Most LaTeX templates are designed for a single publisher or document type. PaperShell focuses instead on providing a consistent workflow across many formats, while keeping the source readable and easy to modify.
The goal is not to hide LaTeX, but to remove repetitive setup work.
