{The \LaTeX\ template generator: How micro-templates reduce template
 maintenance~effort}
{Scientific findings are published by different publishers. These
provide different templates. These differ in the documentation and
packages provided. For example, \texttt{microtype} or \texttt{hyperref}
are mostly not included or not configured properly. Furthermore, there
is a demand for minimal examples in the body of the paper. For instance,
how to typeset a listing with line numbers and hyperlink to that line
number. These minimal examples should appear in any paper template. If
the minimal example is updated, how can various paper templates be
updated automatically? The ``\LaTeX\ Template Generator'' is one answer
to this question. It uses ``micro-templates'' to create full-fledged
paper templates containing the same configurations for popular packages.
Thus, it reduces the maintenance effort of \LaTeX\ templates.}
