This template is supposed to be a "dry" ready-to-go template for writing technical documentation which includes requirements and specifications documents and technical manuals.
The template has been created from the default Sphinx LaTeX template based on the LaTeX customization instructions.
A few further customizations have been made to reduce a number of the features that were enabled by default in the boilerplate code generated by Sphinx.
This work is a byproduct of my work on StrictDoc. StrictDoc uses this template to generate its own documentation into PDF using Sphinx.
A few problems are solved in this template with what have been possible due to a few hours of tinkering with Tex/LaTeX using StackOverflow including:
-
Basic style for the front page with the project title and document metadata table.
-
Automatic numberic starts from 1 from the title page and increases without any further customization.
-
Table of contents has simple style, everything should be aligned correctly.
-
The default fncychap is disabled. Instead plain chapter titles are printed without any decoration.
-
Boilerplate for running titles

If you know how the look of the template could be improved or you could share LaTeX knowledge, don't hesitate to contact me via email or open a GitHub issue.
