Thesis Template

Prerequisites

You want to have the following things installed if you intend to use this template:

• A LaTeX backend (e.g. TeX Live or MikTeX)
• A comfortable text editor (e.g. Notepad++) or a LaTeX frontend (e.g. TeXstudio)
  • Visual Studio Code also has a quite usable LaTeX extension
• A bibliography manager (e.g. JabRef)

You may also use a Docker-based workflow. See below for details.

HowTo

See the automatically created PDF file for more documentation on the "configuration options" of your document.

To create a PDF file manually (i.e. if you don't use a LaTeX frontend), you need to call:

latexmk -pdf thesis

Alternative

You can also use a Docker image to compile the LaTeX source:

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/home danteev/texlive latexmk -pdf thesis.tex

# For continuous builds
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/home danteev/texlive latexmk -pdf -pvc thesis.tex
