• Theorem & Proof Environments: Custom environments for theorems, proofs, lemmas, corollaries, and more perfect for mathematical writing.
• Clean Structure: Modular file organisation for easy editing and expansion.
• VS Code Integration: .vscode folder includes recommended extensions and build tasks for smooth LaTeX compilation and formatting.
• Bibliography Support: Set up for BibTeX referencing.
• Custom Class File: style.cls for Deakin-specific formatting and styling.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/breezy-codes/deakin-latex-task-template-sit.git

2. Open in VS Code:

   • Recommended: Install LaTeX Workshop and LaTeX Utilities.

3. Build the PDF:

   • Use the provided VS Code tasks or run latexmk in the terminal:

     latexmk -pdf 00_main.tex

4. Start writing:

   • Main file: 00_main.tex
   • Add sections in 01-file.tex or create new files as needed.

Theorem & Proof Environments

This template includes custom environments for:

• theorem, lemma, corollary, definition, remark, proof

Example:

\begin{theorem}
Let $x$ be a real number. Then $x^2 \geq 0$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
By definition, $x^2 = x \times x$. For any real $x$, this is non-negative.
\end{proof}
