TEXCREATE
TexCreate is a LaTeX project creator that utilizes prebuilt templates to generate projects built for your needs. This project had started in 2021 with the intention to reduce the amount of times I had found myself copying the same document structures and changing it.
As of 2023, I had released the 3rd major version of TexCreate which redesigned every aspect of the project while staying true to the core design. With the focus of template modularity, I am able to distribute templates for the project without having to release new minor versions, and instead relies on a repo release web service.
The project has expanded greatly from the 1st version that only contained two different crates, now this is a multi-crate workspace spanning over 8000 lines of code! We currently support installing TexCreate using package managers, cargo and apt.

TEXCORE
TexCore is a library that allows developers to create LaTeX documents using native Rust
types with the idea of having them treated as a generic type, Element. This
library
supports different features such as async, parallel iteration, etc.
At first TexCore was built as a successor to a previous project, TeX-rs, but it has now
become a lot larger than that project was, and is used heavily in TexCreate. All templates
use
TexCore's texcreate_templates feature, and it is the core of the template
modularity
mechanism.
If you're interested in learning about TexCore, I recommend looking at the documentation which provides an overview of all the elements available, or look at the examples in the TexCore repo. The documentation can be found at docs.rs.
