## What it is
A LaTeX document class inspired by Edward Tufte's book design, for producing handouts, papers, and books with sidenotes, wide margins, and elegant typography. It is distributed as TeX class files used with pdflatex or XeLaTeX.

## Use cases

## When to choose
- you want Edward Tufte's signature book design in LaTeX
- you need sidenotes, margin figures, and full-width captions
- you are typesetting handouts, papers, or books with pdflatex or XeLaTeX

## When to avoid
- you need a standard journal or conference LaTeX class
- you don't use LaTeX for document preparation
- you need actively developed features beyond the current Tufte style
