每当有家人或朋友来访时，我都喜欢做大餐，但在准备不同菜肴时，我的时间管理往往很吃力。这就是为什么我想创建一个模板，把所有不同的步骤及其各自的持续时间都放进去，然后转换成一个时间表。有没有类似的东西——也许是不同的模板或套餐——我可以用它作为起点？
提前谢谢了！
答案1
在我研究烹饪排版的这些年里，我一直避免尝试时间轴食谱。即使是最简单的食谱，一旦你开始分解它，也会出奇地复杂：将这种复杂性与时间轴机制结合起来似乎太过分了。因此，我怀着很大的羞怯提交了这篇文章。不过，你的问题引起了我的兴趣。你没有具体说明你想看到什么，所以除了时间轴本身之外，我几乎没有什么限制。
这种格式和类似格式的食谱需要什么（例如，表格配方符号可以在以下网址查看https://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/58/Peanut-Butter-Cookies-- 朝向底部），是简洁，通常不是烹饪写作的显著特征。无论如何，这种格式和类似格式的食谱更可能是一个总结，或者一个备忘录而不是完整、详细的菜谱。
颜色：随机选择，不只是视觉效果，还可以更清晰地区分步骤及其在时间线上的位置（特别是指示起点的连接器和显示终点的禁止规则）。如果需要，可以关闭。
Varwidth：这些步骤包含在varwidth环境中。这些环境的宽度仅与它们需要的宽度相同，最大可能是宏\stepwd的第四个（可选）参数\step——默认值目前为 1 英寸，但可以在前言中更改。要使用 minipages，请将选项添加dominipg到recipe环境中
代码很冗长，但注释相当充分，并且后面还有一些附加材料\end{document}。
我已尝试使信息输入尽可能简单明了。

Chains: two `TikZ` `chain`s are used to place the steps; the distance between the chain elements is controlled by an option to `recipe`, `nodedist`.
The `recipe` environment takes 4 arguments:
#1 (optional) keyval options:
dominipg: use minipage instead of varwidth
nocolor: turns off random coloring of steps, uses recipecolor
nocolorcolor: if specified and nocolor is in effect, specifies the color
to use instead of recipecolor
recipecolor: main recipe color
tlnwidth: width of timeline, if not set, defaults to \textwidth
mvstep: small vertical offset to avoid connector line colisions
stepoffset: distance from timeline to first connector bend
nodedist: horizontal distance between steps, sets for *all* steps
#2 the title of the timeline
#3 the start of the time line (in 24-hour decimal format)
#4 the end of the time line (in 24-hour decimal format)
The `\step` macro takes 6 arguments:
#1 keyval, optional: `Top` (default) for above the timeline, `Bot` for below.
#2 required, method: text of the method, can have implicit or explicit `\par`s
#3 optional, ingredients in a ;-separated list
#4 required, start<-end>: A single digit will show only the start time; two digits with a hyphen (e.g., 3-5) will show `3` as the start, with a barred rule showing the duration at `5`.
#5 [step width] optional; if not given will use default.
#6 The sixth argument (optional) to `\step` (`<...>`) (+ right, - left), works, but only once for the two layers of steps - above and below the timeline. Given as a dimension.
Step numbers are shown at the upper left of the step boxes, and reflect the order in which the steps were input.
The `Top` and `Bot` options to the `\step` macro: `Top` is the default, and is optional at the start of input.
