How to produce LaTeX document like below?

I would say that it is very close to the kaobook class. Here is the repo. There are docs in the repo, that are written in the kaobook class so take a look and make your own opinion.

- I find the kaobook class very nice and complete, and the layout seems to open up a lot of options for integrating a lot of visual information, supplementary texts, etc. Has anyone used it, liked it, any other comments or alternatives?
Kaobook compiling differently with TexLive 2021
1 project | /r/LaTeX | 21 Dec 2021

I downloaded kaobook template from https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook, it used to compile properly with Texlive 2019 and 2020. However when I try to compile using TexLive 2021, sidenote, marginfigure and marginnote insert the text "pt0pt"

Any way to apply styles from one document to another as we can on LaTeX?
1 project | /r/libreoffice | 10 Apr 2022
