LaTeX package for scientific reports

relatese

A small helper package for academic and scientific documents: geometry presets, report-friendly defaults, math notation shortcuts, figure and table helpers, scientific units, chemistry, references, and bibliography setup.

What it provides

Report defaults

Geometry presets, caption defaults, compact lists, graphics setup, colors, and table rules.

Scientific notation

Optional shortcuts for derivatives, unit vectors, chi-square notation, units, and chemistry.

References

Optional setup for biblatex, biber, hyperref, and cleveref.

Development

The package is maintained as a documented LaTeX source file (relatese.dtx). The install script (relatese.ins) extracts the package file.
