Using the Template in VS Code:
To use this LaTeX template in Visual Studio Code, follow these steps:

1. Install VS Code:
   Download and install Visual Studio Code.

2. Install LaTeX Workshop Extension:

   • Open VS Code.
   • Go to the Extensions view by clicking on the Extensions icon in the Activity Bar on the side of the window or pressing Ctrl+Shift+X.

3. Install LaTeX Distribution:
   Ensure you have a LaTeX distribution installed on your system. For example:

   • Windows: MiKTeX or TeX Live.
   • Linux: Install TeX Live using your package manager.
   • Mac: MacTeX.

4. Set Up the Minted Package:

   • The template uses the minted package for code highlighting. Ensure you have Python installed on your system along with the Pygments library.

     • Search for latex-workshop.latex.tools and edit the configuration to include the -shell-escape flag. For example:

       "latex-workshop.latex.tools": [
           {
               "name": "pdflatex",
               "command": "pdflatex",
               "args": [
                   "-synctex=1",
                   "-interaction=nonstopmode",
                   "-shell-escape",
                   "%DOC%"
               ]
           }
       ]

5. Compile the Template:

   • Open the main .tex file in VS Code.
   • Use the Ctrl+Alt+B shortcut or click on the "Build LaTeX project" option in the LaTeX Workshop panel to compile the document.

6. View the Output:

   • After successful compilation, the PDF will be generated in the output folder (or the same directory as the .tex file).
   • Use the built-in PDF viewer in VS Code to preview the document.
