The template should to make it easy to draft manuscripts, revise and read.

\item Aesthetic, by which I mean elegant.
Simple and readable \LaTeX templates abound, but when I looked, I found most to favour function over form.

In the two-column layout, \textit{Adonis} also starts a new column after the abstract.
The white-space gives the template character and increases the separation between the abstract and the main text.
The title also appears slightly smaller in two-column layout, again due to the decreased space.
You can specify the title, author and abstract using dedicated commands:

\subsubsection{Subsubsection}

The subsubsection is the third-highest level in manuscripts.
It is also used relatively rarely.
Differently from all other headings, the subsubsection has a run-in header, which means that the text starts on the same line as the heading—like this one.
This style encourages subsubsections not to have more than one paragraph.

In addition to the layout and typography, \textit{Adonis} also makes slight changes to other common \LaTeX{} elements.
The template gives table cells more padding and rows more space, as shown in Table~\ref{"Table: version history"}.

Margin notes also use a smaller font size such that they are not too prominent.
