# LaTeX Class for My Books

[![make](https://github.com/yegor256/yb-book/actions/workflows/l3build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/yegor256/yb-book/actions/workflows/l3build.yml)
[![CTAN](https://img.shields.io/ctan/v/yb-book)](https://ctan.org/pkg/yb-book)
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green.svg)](https://github.com/yegor256/yb-book/blob/master/LICENSE.txt)

This LaTeX class I use to format
[my books](https://www.yegor256.com/books.html),
which I sell [on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Yegor-Bugayenko/e/B01AM1QMDK).

First,
[install it](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Installing_Extra_Packages)
from [CTAN](https://ctan.org/pkg/yb-book)
and then use in the preamble:

```tex
\documentclass{yb-book}
\renewcommand*\thetitle{New Book About OOP}
\renewcommand*\theauthor{Jeff Lebowski}
\renewcommand*\thevolume{1}
\renewcommand*\theversion{1.0}
\begin{document}
\ybPrintTitlePage
\chapter{First One}
\section{About Something Interesting}
Hello, world!
\end{document}
```

If you want to contribute yourself, make a fork, then create a branch,
then run `make` in the root directory.
It should compile everything without errors. If not, submit an issue and wait.
Otherwise, make your changes and then run `make` again. If the build is
still clean, submit a pull request.
