A comprehensive LaTeX template with examples for theses, books and more, employing the 'latest and greatest' (UTF8, glossaries, fonts, ...). The PDF artifact is built using CI/CD, with a Python testing framework.
The package hasn't been updated in almost a year despite me actually sending in some working code for Python 3 (package still stuck on Python 2) and MATLAB.
Maybe use minted, although that hasn't been updated in three years.
The main reason I decided against minted originally is that it requires Python and its pygments library (see also here). However, if we facilitate Docker usage even more (aka basically force people to use it...), this is not a blocker anymore.
