fiction_template.org

An Emacs org-mode file that serves as a template for writing short fiction. Contains LaTeX headers and front-matter that will produce a correctly-formatted manuscript suitable for submission.

manuscript.css

A css file meant for Marked.app, to format Markdown to look more like a standard "manuscript format" using a monospaced font.

ms package

A copy of Martin Schroeder's ms LaTeX package, plus some items from M.C. DeMarco's sffms package. I use a bunch of these LaTeX styles in my manuscripts and it's always annoying to find and install them if I need to rebuild my LaTeX environment... I'll keep a copy here so they're close at hand.

titlesec package

A copy of Javier Bezos López's titlesec package. I've started to use these .sty files in my manuscript as well, in order to hide org-mode section names. It's complicated.

Installing LaTeX and packages

As a reminder for my future self:

  • Install the latest TeX Live from MacTeX.
  • Feel free to install the Basic, smaller version
  • Place ms/ and titlesec/ folders from this repo into /usr/local/texlive/2017basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/
  • Run sudo texhash so LaTeX can find the new .sty files and packages
  • Cross your fingers
