Removing the faulty package leads to another bug:

Which seems to be triggered by a misplaced \\, but I can't locate where this comes from.

[ElBi21]

It's not the first time that \\ led to some errors. Up until now I got able to compile with one of the following commands:

• with tectonic: tectonic main.tex -Z continue-on-errors
• with pdflatex: pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode main.tex

I'll look into that

[dario-loi]

I confirm that compilation is possible with the reported commands, however, this is possibly causing tectonic to perform multiple compilation passes, which would make the template hard to use in a live note-taking workflow.

I await further notice

[ElBi21]

I'm studying how styling with .sty files works in LaTeX, so I'm pushing towards a more class-oriented approach.
Any help is more than welcome, I don't have too much free time and I'd love if someone could contribute.

EDIT: Started working on the .cls file! The aim of the project is to make a functioning, working class with 0 errors. Can be found in the dev branch, under the folder new. Link here

EDIT 2: Now the main branch contains the new (uncomplete yet) class. The old class can be found in the old folder
