Clear, practical guides for writing, compiling, and sharing LaTeX and Typst projects.
Use and publish templates
Start a project from the template library, and publish your own from a project or a GitHub repository.
Find and use a template
The Templates page lists built-in templates and the ones people have published, each with its files and a compiled PDF.
How to do it
- Open Templates and type in Search templates…, or sort by Recommended, Most starred or Name.
- Switch the scope between All, Starred, Mine, Built-in and Community to see everything, the ones you starred, the ones you published, the ones JointTex ships, or the ones other people published.
- Open a template to read its description, author, license and tags, browse its Files, and choose View PDF or Download PDF.
- Choose Use this template to create a new project of your own from it.
- Choose Star template on the ones you come back to, so they appear under Starred.
Publish a project as a template
Publishing takes a public snapshot of a project you own, compiles it, and lists it in the library.
How to do it
- Open the project's menu on the Projects page or in the editor and choose Publish as template, or choose Publish template on the Templates page and pick the source project.
- Fill in the template name, description, license and tags; tags are separated by commas.
- Confirm, and wait while JointTex reads the project, compiles it and publishes it.
- Find the result under Mine on the Templates page.
Publish from GitHub and maintain a template
A template can also be read straight from a GitHub repository, and every template you published stays yours to update.
How to do it
- On the Templates page choose Import from GitHub and enter the repository as owner/name or its github.com address.
- Choose Fetch details to fill in the name, author, license and description from the repository, its LICENSE and its README, then check the fields before publishing.
- Use Edit template to change the details of a template you published.
- Use Republish template when the public snapshot should pick up your later changes.
- Use Delete template to remove it from the library.
