This is a LaTeX template for typesetting documents in the style of the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (D&D 5e) books.

• Color schemes and fonts are close to the core books.
• TeX Live includes the default fonts.
• Compiles with pdflatex.

This will install the template for your current user in one of the following locations:

• Linux: ~/.texmf/tex/latex
• OS X / macOS: ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex
• Windows: C:\Users\{username}\texmf\tex\latex

LaTeX will find the package automatically.

1. Prepare your TEXMFHOME directory.

   mkdir "$(kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME)/tex/latex/"

2. Download the latest release and extract it in $TEXMFHOME/tex/latex/.

   wget https://github.com/evanbergeron/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template/archive/v0.6.0.zip
   unzip -d "$(kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME)/tex/latex/" v0.6.0.zip
   cd "$(kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME)/tex/latex/"
   mv DND-5e-LaTeX-Template-0.6.0 dnd

   Alternatively, clone the repo to the same location:

   git clone https://github.com/evanbergeron/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template.git "$(kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME)/tex/latex/dnd"

You can also clone a copy of the repository to each LaTeX project. For example, to clone the repository to a lib/ directory in your project:

mkdir lib/
git clone https://github.com/evanbergeron/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template.git lib/dnd

LaTeX will not find the template automatically. Set TEXINPUTS when compiling your project to locate the package:

TEXINPUTS=./lib//: pdflatex project.tex

Load the template in your preamble:

\documentclass[10pt,twoside,twocolumn,openany]{book}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{dnd}

\begin{document}
% ...

Declare how to load background and footer images. This is a key-value option with the following possible values:

• full: Load both background and footer images. (default)
• none: Removes both background and footer images.
• print: Loads only the footer images.

Justify column copy.

If you don't have LaTeX installed, we recommend installing a complete TeX Live distribution. https://www.tug.org/texlive/

sudo apt-get install texlive-full

sudo pacman -S texlive-bin texlive-core texlive-latexextra

1. Run ./bin/bump-version to tag the new version.

   ./bin/bumpversion <version>

2. Compile the example PDF.

3. Save the first page of the PDF as scrot.jpg.

4. Update the change log for the new release; commit your changes.

5. Push changes.

   git push && git push --tags

6. Create a new release and attach the PDF and scrot.
