I HAVE TAKEN CARE to observe typographic rules and it should be
helpful for noobs and pros alike (at least that's my goal).
The
template is in it's new born stages hence some pieces are still missing
and the layout of the document has much to be said about. It's set in
Times and Helvetica (you provide the actual design and layout
yourself). And no adjustments have been made on the baseline grid even
though all styles are aligned to the document baseline grid.
And, yes, this is just a beta version.
Have fun using it
