The `example` directory contains a full example:  
`example.tex` : example of a filled-in template

## REQUIREMENTS
Some LaTeX packages are assumed to be present for this class to work: `helvet` (for the correct font), `siunitx` (for properly formatted numbers+units), `fancyhdr` (which should be updated at some point), `lastpage`, and `titlesec` among others.  
The current version of the template is meant for use with `latex` or `pdflatex`, a modern dialect may follow in the future.

## QUICK HOW-TO
1) copy `template.tex` to `yourname_yourproject.tex`
2) fill in all the required information in `yourname_yourproject.tex` using your favorite text editor
3) switch of editing hints by disabling the corresponding option to the package when final
4) convert `.tex` to `.pdf`, e.g. `pdflatex yourname_yourproject`

## MACROS

\project{}{}
```
Sets and displays general information about the project.

```tex
\PI{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
\CoPI{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
```
