Ivoatex

[Juande Santander]

Thank you all for the effort.

What is the license for this template? Can it be brought to GitHub, and/or
CTAN? It would really be better if this template could live outside of
volute, and one did not need to check out the complete repository if there
is something one would like to propose tweaking.
