Where do I start?
I wish to create a 1-page document of text and equations and need a nice simple template for that. Where can I find the basic template I need and what documentclass provides the greatest flexibility?

What is wrong with a standard LaTeX article (in the first instance):
Code: Select all
Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass{article}\begin{document}Some text with some maths: $y = mx + c$.Perhaps some display maths as well:\[ y = mx + c \].\end{document}

For "greatest flexibility", try the memoir class, whose features are described in this document.

Specify the demands for that document (page layout, font size, ...). Flexibility is a matter of taste, beside the memoir class mentioned by lalop there is also the KOMA Script bundle with very versatile document classes. But with the right packages even the standard classes are sufficient for setting up a proper document.Shubee wrote:I wish to create a 1-page document of text and equations and need a nice simple template for that.
