Inofficial template for bachelor and master theses at ika.
Why should I use this template instead of the so called "official" one ?
This template uses pdflatex instead of lualatex in the "official template".
pdflatex is much faster than lualatex. The difference compiling a large
document can be of factor 5. Why wait
25s instead of 5 seconds?
Use Word to open and edit the cover sheet template. Insert your data and save
cover sheet as CoverSheet.pdf in the root directory.
Ask your supervisor for the thesis number and insert it in main.tex.
The glossaries List of Symbols and List of Abbreviations are automatically
build using the package:
\usepackage[automake]{glossaries}If you still experience problems building the glossaries you should try the
automake=immediate option, which will use the shell escape at the start of
\makeglossaries to build the glossaries.
Bibliography uses biber and it is automatically build if you use latexmk
for building main.tex. The build tool latexmk is the standart build command
for VSCODE and other LaTeX Tools.
