P^3 - Programming-fit Report Preamble

A decent report preamble, fit for programming-related topics. Big thanks to #latex on Freenode and various tex.stackexchange.com threads for the help.

How do I compile this?

Dependencies that aren't LaTeX packages:

• The Linux Libertine font
• The Consolas font
• minted - source code synax highlighter

For actual compilation, I highly recommend latexmk, which handles LaTeX packages.

"Holy smokes! This code is fugly, repetetive, and doesn't employ any code standards!"

Yeah.
