Checklists template in LaTeX

This is a simple set of LaTex files to produce nice PDF formatted checklists. You need to have a LaTex environment set up and xelatex available.

\title{Example}

\datechecklist{25.10.2024}

\begin{checklist}{Checklist Name}
  \item{Checkitem 1}{result}
  \item{Checkitem 2}{another result}
    \hint{I am a hint!}
  \decision{Decision: Cold}
    \step{Step: 1}
    \step{Step: Math is hard...}
  \decision{Decision: Warm}
    \step{Heater: Off}
    \item{Checkitem 3}{result}
\end{checklist}

\end{document}
