# Keeb-Plaque
A simple little tent to print off on a quarter of a Letter paper sheet for Mechanical Keyboard Meetups.
A simple little tent to print off on half of a Letter paper sheet (or whatever you want) for Mechanical Keyboard Meetups.
![example](example.png)
![an example with only placeholder text](example.png)
Some printing programs don't play nice and have to have all 4 pages to make it a quarter sheet sized thing. Just repeat the `\table` command as many times as needed to do that.
also available in a blank form, check the branch: ![blank-mode](https://daviddaily.dev/david/Keeb-Plaque/src/branch/blank-mode)
`hell` branch has mine as an example if you want more
"hey this is kinda hard, I have to install this whole other program and stuff??"
yeah, well my purpose in life is to curse others with knowledge of typesetting. Do I have the skillz/hardware/time to make it some kind of decent, if not super nice, site? probably. But that's not as fun to me.
