\chapter{Elegant\LaTeX{} Templates}
Elegant\LaTeX{} Program developers are intended to provide you beautiful, elegant, user-friendly templates. Currently, the Elegant\LaTeX{} is composed of \href{https://github.com/ElegantLaTeX/ElegantNote}{ElegantNote}, \href{https://github.com/ElegantLaTeX/ElegantBook}{ElegantBook}, \href{https://github.com/ElegantLaTeX/ElegantPaper}{ElegantPaper}, designed for typesetting notes, books, and working papers respectively. Latest releases are strongly recommended! This guide is aimed at briefly introducing the 101 of this template. For any other question, suggestion or comment, feel free to contact us on GitHub \href{https://github.com/ElegantLaTeX/ElegantBook/issues}{issues} or email us at \email{elegantlatex2e@gmail.com}.

Contact Infos:
\begin{itemize}
  \item GitHub: \href{https://github.com/ElegantLaTeX/}{https://github.com/ElegantLaTeX/}
  \item CTAN: \href{https://ctan.org/pkg/elegantbook}{https://ctan.org/pkg/elegantbook}
  \item Download: \href{https://github.com/ElegantLaTeX/ElegantBook/releases}{release}, \href{https://github.com/ElegantLaTeX/ElegantBook/archive/master.zip}{latest version}
\end{itemize}


\section{Online Usage}
You can visit \href{https://www.overleaf.com/}{Overleaf} to use our template online anywhere and anytime without local installation. To find our template, search \lstinline{elegantlatex} in the \lstinline{templates} or simply visit \href{https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates?addsearch=elegantlatex}{search result}, choose the template you prefer and \lstinline{Open as Template} to own a copy yourself to edit freely. To learn more about Overleaf, please refer to \href{https://www.overleaf.com/learn}{Documentation}.


\section{Portable Version}
For portable version, simply download lastest ElegantBook-master from GitHub or CTAN (to be more accurate, download \lstinline{elegantbook.cls}) and save the file(s) under your working directory. This way of installation is simple and convenient, but you have to manually update \lstinline{cls} now and then.


\section{Update Templates}
You can use cmd/terminal to update the tlmgr itself and all the packages, the commands are:
\begin{lstlisting}
tlmgr update --self
tlmgr update --all
\end{lstlisting}

To learn more, please refer to \href{https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/55437/how-do-i-update-my-tex-distribution}{How do I update my \TeX{} distribution?}

\section{Other Release Versions}

If you are using a \TeX{} Live version prior to 2025 and wish to update the template, the official solution is to uninstall the previous version.
If you want to save the trouble of uninstallation and re-installation, please copy \lstinline{elegantbook.cls} to the installation directory of your \TeX{} Live (default for \TeX{} Live 2025: \lstinline|C:\texlive\2025\texmf-dist\tex\latex\elegantbook|; replace "2025" with your actual version), and then run \lstinline{texhash} in the command prompt.

\chapter{ElegantBook Settings}

This template is based on the Standard \LaTeX{} book class, so the options of book class work as well (Note that the option of papersize has no effect due to \lstinline{device} option). The default encoding is UTF-8 while \TeX{} Live is recommended. The test environments are Windows 10/11, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and macOS with \TeX{} Live 2025/ Mac\TeX{} 2025. Both \hologo{pdfLaTeX} or \hologo{XeLaTeX} works fine for \lstinline{lang=en}.

\section{Languages}
We defined one option named \lstinline{lang} which has two basic values, \lstinline{lang=en} (default) , \lstinline{lang=cn}. Different values will alter the captions of figure/table, abstract name, refname, etc. You can use this option as

\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass[en]{elegantbook} 
\documentclass[lang=en]{elegantbook}
\end{lstlisting}

Besides the two basic language translation, our user provide more options, here is a short brief introduction to these translation. Since I am not familiar with these languages, I can't guarantee that the translations are correct, please comment on GitHub if you have some questions.

\begin{remark}
Chinese Characters  are acceptable \textbf{ONLY} in \lstinline{lang=cn}.
\end{remark}

\section{Device Mode Option}
The option for device (\lstinline{device}) was originally used in ElegantNote, now we include this option in ElegantBook\footnote{Pictures have to be modified accordingly.} as well. Activate iPad mode in the following way\footnote{Default size: normal, A4 paper.}:
\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass[pad]{elegantbook} %or
\documentclass[device=pad]{elegantbook}
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Color Themes}
This template contains 5 color themes, i.e., \textcolor{structure1}{\lstinline{green}}\footnote{Original default theme.}, \textcolor{structure2}{\lstinline{cyan}}, \textcolor{structure3}{\lstinline{blue}}(default), \textcolor{structure4}{\lstinline{gray}}, \textcolor{structure5}{\lstinline{black}}. You can choose \lstinline{green} with
\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass[green]{elegantbook} %or
\documentclass[color=green]{elegantbook}
\end{lstlisting}


\begin{table}[htbp]

\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

If you want to customize the colors, please select \lstinline{nocolor} or use \lstinline{color=none} and declare the main, second, and third colors in the preamble section as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}[frame=single]
\definecolor{structurecolor}{RGB}{60,113,183}
\definecolor{main}{RGB}{0,166,82}%
\definecolor{second}{RGB}{255,134,24}%
\definecolor{third}{RGB}{0,174,247}% 
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Cover}
\subsection{Customized Cover}
From v3.10, customized cover is allowed, you can choose or hide any element as you prefer. Current optional elements are:
\begin{itemize}
  \item title: \lstinline{\title}
  \item subtitle: \lstinline{\subtitle}
  \item author: \lstinline{\author}
  \item institute: \lstinline{\institute}
  \item date: \lstinline{\date}
  \item version: \lstinline{\version}
  \item extra information: \lstinline{\extrainfo}
  \item cover image: \lstinline{\cover}
  \item logo: \lstinline{\logo}
\end{itemize}

Besides, an extra command \lstinline{\bioinfo} is provided with two options--caption and content. For instance, if you want to display \lstinline{Username: 111520}, just type in

\begin{lstlisting}
\bioinfo{Username}{115520}
\end{lstlisting}

You can change the color of the horizontal bar of the cover by
\begin{lstlisting}
  \definecolor{customcolor}{RGB}{32,178,170}
  \colorlet{coverlinecolor}{customcolor}
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Cover Image}
The cover image used in this template is from \href{https://pixabay.com/en/tea-time-poetry-coffee-reading-3240766/}{pixabay.com}. The image is completely free and can be used under any circumstance. The cover image size is $1280 \times 1024$. If you would like to change the cover, please crop it according to the size of the cover picture strictly. One free online image clipping site: \href{https://www.fotor.com/cn}{fotor.com}. Feel free to join our QQ Group to get more elegant covers.

\subsection{Logo}
Aspect ratio of the logo is 1:1 in this guide, i.e. a square picture. To replace the logo, do remember to choose the appropriate picture.

\subsection{Stylized Cover}
Want to use stylized cover?(For instance, A4-sized PDF designed by Adobe Illustrator) Please comment out \lstinline{\maketitle} and use \lstinline{pdfpages} to insert the cover. Similar for using \lstinline{titlepage}. If you would like to use the cover in version 2.x, please refer to \href{https://github.com/EthanDeng/etitlepage}{etitlepage}.

\section{Chapter Title Display Styles}

This template contains 2 sets of \textit{title display styles},\lstinline{hang}(default) and \lstinline{display} style. For the former, chapter title is displayed on a single line (\lstinline{hang}). For the latter, chapter title is displayed on a double line (\lstinline{display}).In this guide, we use \lstinline{hang} . To change display style, use:
\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass[hang]{elegantbook} %or
\documentclass[titlestyle=hang]{elegantbook}
\end{lstlisting}


\section{Introduction of Math Environments}
We defined two sets of theorem modes, \lstinline{simple} style and \lstinline{fancy} style (default). You may change to \lstinline{simple} mode by

\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass[simple]{elegantbook} %or
\documentclass[mode=simple]{elegantbook}
\end{lstlisting}

In this template, we defined four different theorem class environments

\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{Theorem Environments}, including title and content, numbering corresponding to chapter. Three types depending on the format:
   \begin{itemize}
      \item \textcolor{main}{\textbf{definition}} environment, the color is  \textcolor{main}{main};
      \item \textcolor{second}{\textbf{theorem, lemma, corollary, axiom, postulate}} environment, the color is \textcolor{second} {second};
      \item \textcolor{third}{\textbf{proposition}} environment, the color is \textcolor{third}{third}.
   \end{itemize}
\item \textit{Example Environment}, including \textbf{example, exercise, problem} environment, auto numbering according to chapter.
\item \textit{Proof Environment}, including \textbf{proof, note} environment containing introductory symbol (\textbf{note} environment) or ending symbol (\textbf{proof} environment).
\item \textit{Conclusion Environment}, including \textbf{conclusion, assumption, property, remark and solution}\footnote{We also define an option \lstinline{result}, which can hide the \lstinline{solution} and \lstinline{proof} environments. You can switch between \lstinline{result=answer} and \lstinline{result=noanswer}.} environments, all of which begin with boldfaced words, with format consistent with normal paragraphs.
\end{itemize}

All of theorem environments have star versions: \textcolor{main}{\textbf{definition*}}, \textcolor{second}{\textbf{theorem*}}, \textcolor{second}{\textbf{lemma*}}, \textcolor{second}{\textbf{corollary*}}, \textcolor{second}{\textbf{axiom*}}, \textcolor{second}{\textbf{postulate*}}, \textcolor{third}{\textbf{proposition*}}. Environments with an asterisk are not numbered.

\subsection{Theorem Class Environments}

\subsubsection{\lstinline{fancy} mode}

In \lstinline{fancy} mode, the template uses the \lstinline{tcolorbox} package to customize the theorem class environments, it is slightly different from the normal theorem environments. The usage is as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}
  % name + label
  \begin{theorem}{theorem name}{label}
    The content of a theorem with name and label. 
    Use \ref{thm:label} to refer this theorem.
  \end{theorem}
  % no name + label
  \begin{theorem}{}{label no name}
    The content of a theorem without name.
    Use \ref{thm:label no name} to refer this theorem.
  \end{theorem}
  % name + no label
  \begin{theorem}{theorem name}{}
    The content of a theorem without label.
    Can't refer this theorem.
    The last {} can be removed.
  \end{theorem}
  % no name + no label
  \begin{theorem}{}{}
    The content of a theorem without name and label.
    Can't refer this theorem.
    Both of {} can be removed.
  \end{theorem}
  \end{lstlisting}

The first parameter \lstinline{theorem name} represents the name of the theorem. If the current theorem has no name, please use \lstinline|{}|\cprotect\footnote{Unless this theorem has neither no label, you should not omit this \verb|{}|.}, and the second parameter \lstinline{label} represents the label used in cross-reference with \verb|\ref{thm:label}|. Note that cross-references must be prefixed with \lstinline{thm:}. 

Other theorem class environments with the same usage includes:

\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering
\caption{Theorem Class Environments}
  \begin{tabular}{llll}
  \toprule
  Environment & Label text & Prefix & Cross-reference \\
  \midrule
  definition & label & def   & \lstinline|\ref{def:label}| \\
  theorem & label & thm   & \lstinline|\ref{thm:label}| \\
  postulate & label & pos & \lstinline|\ref{pos:label}| \\
  axiom & label & axi & \lstinline|\ref{axi:label}|\\
  lemma & label & lem   & \lstinline|\ref{lem:label}| \\
  corrlary & label & cor   & \lstinline|\ref{cor:label}| \\
  proposition & label & pro   & \lstinline|\ref{pro:label}| \\
  \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}%
\label{tab:theorem-class}%
\end{table}%

From version 4.1, you can write your theorem environments as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{theorem}[theorem name]\label{thm:theorem-label}
  The content of theorem.
\end{theorem}
% or
\begin{theorem}\label{thm:theorem-without-name}
  The content of theorem.
\end{theorem}
\end{lstlisting}

In this case, cross-reference don't have to be prefixed, i.e. the parameter of \lstinline{\ref} is the same as that of \lstinline{\label}.
 
\subsubsection{\lstinline{simple} mode}

In \lstinline{simple} mode, the template uses the \lstinline{amsthm} package to customize the theorem class environments. The usage is as follows:

\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{theorem}[theorem name]\label{thm:theorem-label}
  The content of theorem.
\end{theorem}
% or 
\begin{theorem}\label{thm:theorem-without-name}
  The content of theorem without name.
\end{theorem}
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Counter for Theorem Environments}

You can use \lstinline{thmcnt} option to control the theorem counter/number display style for the theorem environments, the acceptable options are \lstinline{chapter} (default) and \lstinline{section}:

\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass[section]{elegantbook} % turn the Theorem 4.1 to Theorem 4.1.1 
\documentclass[thmcnt=section]{elegantbook}
\end{lstlisting}


\subsection{Other Customized Environments}
The other three math environments can be called directly since there are no additional option for them, e.g. \lstinline{example}:
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{example}
This is the content of example environment.
\end{example}
\end{lstlisting}

The effect is as follows:

\begin{example}
This is the content of example environment.
\end{example}

These are all similar environments with slight differences lies in:

\begin{itemize}
   \item Example, exercise, problem environments number within chapter;
   \item Note begins with introductory symbol and proof ends with ending symbol;
   \item Conclusion and other environments are normal paragraph environments with boldfaced introductory words.
\end{itemize}


\section{List Environments}
This template uses \lstinline{tikz} to customize the list environments, with \lstinline{itemize} environment customized to the third depth and \lstinline{enumerate} environment customized to fourth depth. The effect is as follows\\[2ex]
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
   \item first item of nesti;
   \item second item of nesti;
   \begin{itemize}
      \item first item of nestii;
      \item second item of nestii;
      \begin{itemize}
         \item first item of nestiii;
         \item second item of nestiii.
      \end{itemize}   
   \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
\begin{enumerate}
   \item first item of nesti;
   \item second item of nesti;
   \begin{enumerate}
      \item first item of nestii;
      \item second item of nestii;
      \begin{enumerate}
         \item first item of nestiii;
         \item second item of nestiii.
      \end{enumerate}   
   \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\end{minipage}


\section{Fonts}
\textcolor{red}{\bfseries Alert} After v3.10, newtx is reset to cm, together with other two options, the \lstinline{math} font option offers:
\begin{enumerate}
  \item \lstinline{math=cm}(default), use \LaTeX{} default math font (recommended).
  \item \lstinline{math=newtx}, use \lstinline{newtxmath} math font (may bring about bugs).
  \item \lstinline{math=mtpro2}, use \lstinline{mtpro2} package to set math font.
\end{enumerate}

If you use \lstinline{newtx} fonts, type in:
\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass[math=newtx]{elegantbook}
\end{lstlisting}

When you are using \lstinline{newtx}, please pay attention to the hyphens. For instance,
\begin{equation}
\int_{R^q} f(x,y) dy.\emph{of\kern0pt f} \sin x
\end{equation}

The corresponding code is: 
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{equation}
  \int_{R^q} f(x,y) dy.\emph{of \kern0pt f} \sin x
\end{equation}
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Symbol Fonts}
Feedback from some 3.08 users claims that error occurs when using our templates with  \lstinline{yhmath}, \lstinline{esvect} and other packages.
\begin{lstlisting}
LaTeX Error:
Too many symbol fonts declared.
\end{lstlisting}

The reason is that the template redefines font for math so that no new math font is allowed to be added. To use \lstinline{yhmath} and/or \lstinline{esvect}, please locate \lstinline{yhmath} or \lstinline{esvect} in \lstinline{elegantbook.cls}, uncomment corresponding related code.

\begin{lstlisting}
%%% use yhmath pkg, uncomment following code
% \let\oldwidering\widering
% \let\widering\undefined
% \RequirePackage{yhmath}
% \let\widering\oldwidering

%%% use esvect pkg, uncomment following code
% \RequirePackage{esvect}
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Bibliography}

This template uses biblatex to generate the bibliography, the default citestyle and bibliography style are both \lstinline{numeric}. Let's take a glance at the citation effect. ~\cite{en1} use data from a major peer-to-peer lending \cite{en3} marketplace in China to study whether female and male investors evaluate loan performance differently \parencite{en2}. 

If you want to use biblatex, you must create a file named \lstinline{reference.bib}, add bib items (from Google Scholar, Mendeley, EndNote, and etc.) to \lstinline{reference.bib} file, then cite the bibkey in the \lstinline{tex} file. The biber will automatically generate the bibliography for the reference you cited.

In order to get the editors' auto-completion working, you need to add following code in your preamble:

\begin{lstlisting}
  \addbibresource[location=local]{reference.bib}
\end{lstlisting}

Then include the print commands where you want to print the bibliography:
\begin{lstlisting}
  \printbibliography[heading=bibintoc, title=\ebibname]
\end{lstlisting}




To change the bibliography style, this version introduces two options: \lstinline{citestyle} and \lstinline{bibstyle}, please refer to \href{https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex}{CTAN:biblatex} for more detail about these options. You can change your bibliography style as

\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass[citestyle=numeric-comp, bibstyle=authoryear]{elegantbook} 
\end{lstlisting}

We also add the \lstinline{bibend} option to this template, you can choose \lstinline{biber} (default) or \lstinline{bibtex} as you like, \lstinline{biber} is recommended.

\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass[bibtex]{elegantbook} % or
\documentclass[bibend=bibtex]{elegantbook}
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Preface}

If you want to add a preface before the first chapter with the number of chapter unchanged, please add the preface in the following way:
\begin{lstlisting}
\chapter*{Introduction}
\markboth{Introduction}{Introduction}
The content of introduction.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Content Option and Depth}
Option for content \lstinline{toc}, you can  choose either one column(\lstinline{onecol}) or two columns(\lstinline{twocol}). For two columns:
\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass[twocol]{elegantbook}
\documentclass[toc=twocol]{elegantbook}
\end{lstlisting}

Default content depth is 1, use to use \lstinline|\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}|.

\section{Introduction Environment}
We create a introduction environment to display the structure of chapter. The basic useage is as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{introduction}
  \item Definition of Theorem
  \item Ask for help
  \item Optimization Problem
  \item Property of Cauchy Series
  \item Angle of Corner
\end{introduction}
\end{lstlisting}
And you will get:
\begin{introduction}
  \item Definition of Theorem
  \item Ask for help
  \item Optimization Problem
  \item Property of Cauchy Series
  \item Angle of Corner
\end{introduction}

You can change the title of this environment by modifying the optional argument of this environment:
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{introduction}[Brief Introduction]
...
\end{introduction}
\end{lstlisting}

%\section{Problem Set}
The environment \lstinline{problemset} is used at the end of each chapter to display corresponding exercises. Just type in the following sentences:
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{problemset}
  \item exercise 1
  \item exercise 2
  \item exercise 3
\end{problemset}
\end{lstlisting}
And you will get:
\begin{problemset}
  \item exercise 1
  \item exercise 2
  \item exercise 3
  \item math equation test:
  \begin{equation}
  a^2+b^2=c_{2_{i}} (1,2) [1,23]
  \end{equation}
\end{problemset}
\begin{remark}
If you want to customize the title of \lstinline{problemset}, please change the optional argument like in introduction environment. In this version the \lstinline{problemset} environment automatically appears in the table of contents but not in the header or footer(to be fixed).
\end{remark}

\begin{solution}
  If you want to customize the title of \lstinline{problemset}, please change the optional argument like in introduction environment. In this version the \lstinline{problemset} environment automatically appears in the table of contents but not in the header or footer(to be fixed).
\end{solution}

\section{Margin Notes}
In 3.08, we introduced \lstinline{marginpar=margintrue} and \lstinline{\elegantpar} (Beta) with piles of bugs. Hence we decide to remove them in 3.09 and will suspend the options till revolutionary optimization. Sorry for all the bugs! However, we retain the option \lstinline{marginpar} for users to get margin motes by activating \lstinline{marginpar=margintrue} and using \lstinline{\marginpar} or \lstinline{marginnote} packages.

\begin{remark}
Note that text and equation are both available in the margin notes.
\begin{lstlisting}
% text
\marginpar{margin paragraph text}

% equation
\marginpar{
\begin{equation}
  a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\end{equation}
}

\section{Writing Sample}

We will define the integral of a measurable function in three steps. First, we define the integral of a nonnegative simple function. Let $E$ be the measurable set in $\mathcal{R}^N$.

\begin{definition}[Left Coset]
Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group~$G$.  A \emph{left coset} of $H$ in $G$ is a subset of $G$ that is of the form $xH$, where $x \in G$ and $xH = \{ xh : h \in H \}$. Similarly a \emph{right coset} of $H$ in $G$ is a subset of $G$ that is of the form $Hx$, where $Hx = \{ hx : h \in H \} \hbar$ 
\end{definition}

\begin{note}
Note that a subgroup~$H$ of a group $G$ is itself a left coset of $H$ in $G$.
\end{note}

\begin{theorem}[Lagrange's Theorem] \label{thm:lg}
Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. Then the order of $H$ divides the order of $G$.
\end{theorem}

As theorem \ref{thm:lg} refered.

\end{theorem}

we can refer this theorem as \ref{thm:label text}.


\begin{proposition}[Size of Left Coset]
Let $H$ be a finite subgroup of a group $G$.  Then each left coset of $H$ in $G$ has the same number of elements as $H$.
\end{proposition}

\begin{proof}
  Let $z$ be some element of $xH \cap yH$. Then $z = xa$ for some $a \in H$, and $z = yb$ for some $b \in H$. If $h$ is any element of $H$ then $ah \in H$ and $a^{-1}h \in H$, since $H$ is a subgroup of $G$. But $zh = x(ah)$ and $xh = z(a^{-1}h)$ for all $h \in H$. Therefore $zH \subset xH$ and $xH \subset zH$, and thus $xH = zH$.  Similarly $yH = zH$, and thus $xH = yH$, as required. 
\end{proof}

Regression analysis is a powerful statistical method that allows you to examine the relationship between two or more variables of interest. While there are many types of regression analysis, at their core they all examine the influence of one or more independent variables on a dependent variable. The process of performing a regression allows you to confidently determine which factors matter most, which factors can be ignored, and how these factors influence each other.

Let's continue using our application training example. In this case, we'd want to measure the historical levels of satisfaction with the events from the past three years or so, as well as any information possible in regards to the independent variables.

\chapter{Mathematical Tools}

This appendix covers some of the basic mathematics used in econometrics. We briefly discuss the properties of summation operators, study the properties of linear and some nonlinear equations, and review the ratios and percentages. We also introduce some special functions that are common in econometrics applications, including quadratic functions and natural logarithms. The first four sections require only basic algebraic techniques. The fifth section briefly reviews differential Calculus Although Calculus is not necessary to understand much of this book, it is used in some of the end-of-chapter appendices and in some of the more advanced topics in part 3.

\section{Summation Operator and Description Statistics}

\textbf{Summation Operator} is an abbreviation used to express the summation of numbers, it plays an important role in statistics and econometrics analysis. If $\{x_i: i=1, 2, \ldots, n\}$ is a sequence of $n$ numbers, the summation of the $n$ numbers is:

\begin{equation}
\sum_{i=1}^n x_i \equiv x_1 + x_2 +\cdots + x_n
\end{equation}
