Change the default template for new .tex files:
Add a file called 'template.tex' in your local root project folder (/Android/data/verbosus.verbtex/files/Local/template.tex). The next time you add a new document to a project the new .tex file will be filled with the text of your template.tex file.

\begin{document}
\section{Main Heading}
Это тест
