Textbook template

Post by hssghj »

Dear latex users,

I am looking for a template I can use to format my text to look like a textbook. Ideally, it would have a "box" category so that I could separate out the main text from the figures and boxes.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Have you tried using the book class for your document?

To get a box around figures, use the float package and define your own environment.
