Layout

The template currently supports two layouts: standard and tufte.

The standard layout is the default layout, with symmetric margins. It is the most common layout for books and theses. Examples of the standard layout for each theme are presented on the Built-in themes page.

The tufte layout is inspired by the works of Edward Tufte, which emphasizes simplicity and clarity, often using wide margins for notes and figures. It is particularly suitable for books or theses that require extensive annotations or side comments. To implement the tufte layout, the template comes with several helper functions, based on the marginalia package, implementing side notes, side figures, full width blocks, etc.
