## What it is
kaobook is a LaTeX document class for typesetting books, reports, and theses with a wide-margin layout inspired by Tufte-LaTeX and Ken Arroyo Ohori's thesis. It provides margin notes, mini tables of contents, flexible citations, and customizable chapter headings.

## Use cases
- typeset a PhD thesis in LaTeX
- create a textbook with margin notes and side figures
- format a technical report with a wide margin layout
- write an academic book with flexible citations
- find a Tufte-style LaTeX book template
- produce a polished PDF book with chapter-level mini tables of contents

## When to choose
- you want a professional book or thesis layout with wide margins for notes and figures
- you like the Tufte-LaTeX aesthetic but need book-level features like chapters
- you are writing a long academic document in LaTeX and want a ready-made class

## When to avoid
- you need a simple article or beamer presentation
- you don't use LaTeX and want a GUI word processor
- you need a layout with standard narrow margins
