Thesis template for LaTeX documents.

thesis-template-latex's Issues

Use the appropriate bibliograpy formatting for Hungarian documents

This can be achieved by using the huplain.bst from http://www.math.bme.hu/latex/.

Onehalf spacing?

The thesis expects 1.5 line spacing:

thesis-template-latex/src/content/thesis-format.tex

Line 22 in 183a24f

A dolgozatot A4-es fehér lapra nyomtatva, 2,5 centiméteres margóval (+1~cm kötésbeni), 11--12 pontos betűmérettel, talpas betűtípussal és másfeles sorközzel célszerű elkészíteni.

It seems to be, though, that the resulting document uses single spacing.

LaTeX vs XeLaTeX

The latter has

• proper font support
• uses unicode by default
• it is supported by MiKTeX
• you can include EPS figures without pain

See 7e80486

No spacing between title and first name in supervisor's name

I don't know if this is deliberate, but using the template the supervisor's name is not properly spaced.
E.g., Dr.Firstname Lastname is used instead of Dr. Firstname Lastname.

thesis-template-latex/src/include/thesis-en.tex

Line 35 in 183a24f

\newcommand{\vikkonzulensA}{\vikkonzulensAMegszolitas\vikkonzulensAKeresztnev{} \vikkonzulensAVezeteknev}

Intro chapter should be numbered

Default second author name in PDF metadata

src/include/preamble.tex contains the following for pdf metadata:

pdfauthor={\vikszerzoA \tdkszerzoB}

However, in the usual BSc/MSc thesis setup suthors only update \vikszerzoA and they do not even see \tdkszerzoB, thus it remains "Második Szerző". (I have seen it is several submitted document)

Suggestions:

• remove \tdkszerzoB from here, or
• set \tdkszerzoB to empty string (those who need it, would set it anyway)

Missing T1/lmtt/l/sl shape causing issues in lstlisting

Platform: linux texlive pdflatex
Steps to reproduce: insert an lstlisting with eg. [language=C] option and write a comment in it

lstlisting cannot display slanted text (code comments) when using the default lmodern lighttt typeface. The build crashes with this error:

No declaration for shape T1/lmtt/l/sl.
sub@sfcnt ...e forspace shapespace mandatory@arg }

I have found a solution on Stackexchange:

That's a bug in the fd-files (OT1lmtt.fd and T1lmtt.fd): In the "lighttt" section they substitute the lmtt/m/it to lmtt/l/sl instead of lmtt/m/sl. You should report it.
You can get around it with

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[lighttt]{lmodern}
\ttfamily\DeclareFontShape{T1}{lmtt}{m}{it}{<->sub*lmtt/m/sl}{}

\begin{document}
Abc {\ttfamily abc  \itshape abc}
\end{document}

It seems to be fixing the problem, the build succeeds after inserting that line.

Keywords of the language are not highlighted in lstlisting

Because of

basicstyle=\scriptsize\ttfamily, % print whole listing small
keywordstyle=\color{black}\bfseries, % bold black keywords

in preamble.tex, listings need to use a fixed-width bold font, which is not available (at least on MiKTeX).

A workaround I found is to use another fixed-witdth font, or use lmodern with option lighttt:

\usepackage[lighttt]{lmodern}

For more, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/33039/using-ttfamily-with-bfseries-or-how-to-enable-bold-in-fixed-width-font.

It would be nice if the template contained examples of typesetting source codes, even in multiple languages

Migrate to GitHub Actions

Move away from Travis to GitHub Actions.

Supersedes #58

Fix UTF-8 encoding in listings

Hungarian accendted characters in listings are not displayed correctly, e.g. kézikönyv is rendered as éökziknyv.

We had a similar with the guillemets in Xtend codes: https://github.com/FTSRG/technology-cheat-sheets/wiki/LaTeX#using-guillemets-in-listings

However, this approach required us to change the listed text---something we would like to avoid.

Update README on deployment

Fix this line and propose the more modern method for deployment:

Remove the call for the deployment script (./deploy.sh) or redirect it. To do this, you will need to use a GitHub token and encrypt it for Travis, which requires Ruby. For details, see [this guide].

Frenchspacing issues

Commit 7e9cf71#diff-0a9dc099a57533c7836e5bdfab08a4d9R33 accidentally swapped the French spacing settings: Hungarian documents should have French spacing and English documents should not have French spacing.

MikTeX fails with missing sectsty package

Use geometry package to set margins

Package anysize, used in this project to set margin sizes, is obsolete. We should use the geometry package instead.

I'll patch it and create a PR if you agree.

Author name appears in wrong order in Declaration for English theses

The theses of the university require a formal declaration of own work. I think this needs to be in Hungarian even if the language of the thesis is English. However it raises a conflict, because \vikszerzoA needs to be in the English order for the titlepage.

It would be good if the template could handle this.

I see these solutions so far:

• Have a different command for the declaration. For Hungarian this could be defaulted to \vikszerzoA. For English this should be provided by the users.
• Let's define a command for first name and last name each, and derive the names for the titlepage and declaration accordingly: declaration would always use the Hungarian order, the titlepage would use the language dependent order.

Alapértelmezett aláosztások számának módosítása

A fejezeteket decimális aláosztással számozzuk, maximálisan 3 aláosztás mélységben (pl. 2.3.4.1.).

Alapértelmezetetten a subsubsection alfejezet nem számozva jelenik meg.

A premable fájlban ez látható a setcounter beállításnál:

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}
%\sectionfont{\large\upshape\bfseries}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{2}

Javasolni szeretném a \setcounter{secnumdepth}{2}értékét 2-ről 3-ra módosítani. Ezt követően a subsubsection már számozva jelenik meg.

Valamint a \setcounter beállítás kétszer kap értéket, először 0 majd 2 értéket. Rögtön egymás után. Javaslom az egyik törlését.

Check the numbering of the appendix

The numbering of the appendix starts at F (for Függelék -- Appendix in Hungarian). We should set this to A which works well for both English and Hungarian documents.

Add support for English documents

Add support for LuaTeX

No space between VIK konzulens Megszolitas and Keresztnev

Expected usage:

\newcommand{\vikkonzulensAMegszolitas}{Dr.}
\newcommand{\vikkonzulensAVezeteknev}{Hajdu}
\newcommand{\vikkonzulensAKeresztnev}{Ákos}

What works right now:

\newcommand{\vikkonzulensAMegszolitas}{Dr.~}
\newcommand{\vikkonzulensAVezeteknev}{Hajdu}
\newcommand{\vikkonzulensAKeresztnev}{Ákos}

Related line in thesis-en.tex:

TDK sablon oldalszámai

A TDK sablonban írva három darab első oldala lesz a dokumentumnak.

Move tex/bib files to subfolders

I recommend to move the tex files (except the main diploma.tex) to a subfolder (e.g. content) to have a clearer directory structure.

Moreover, the bib file coul also be moved to an other subfolder (e.g. bib). It helps to spot which are non temporary files.

Split advisor names to first name and last name

Changing to a more detailed/modern bibtex style

Currently we use plain, which lacks several features (e.g. handling doi or url natively).

I recommend to switch to a more feature complete bib style. For example:

1. Natbib

\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}
...
\bibliographystyle{abbrvnat}

Provides native doi and url support, is also numbered and ordered, does not require any modification in compiling, natbib has a decent documentation.

2. Biblatex/biber

• Pro: has a proper definition of entry fields in the manual (there is no standard definition for bibtex!), supports all modern entry types and fields, lots of functionality compared to bibtex
• Con: breaks build, requires biber instead of bibtex for some features

Line spacing command is issued in the wrong file

Removing the "\include{include/guideline}" from diploma.tex sets back line spacing to normal for the whole text, since the "\onehalfspacing" command is issued in guideline.tex. While in reality it looks way better with the regular spacing, still the officially expected one is 1.5. (Fixing this bug is a great way to boost the total number of pages. :P) Command should be issued "elsewhere".

Paragraph indentation got mixed up

Commit 7e9cf71 also mixed up Hungarian/English paragraph indentation. Just compare earlier builds with the current one. In the latest build some space is skipped after each paragraph, and there's no indentation for the first lines (with Hungarian settings).

Use Travis instead of ShareLaTeX

As ShareLaTeX no longer works, we should use Travis to produce a page (gh-page) with the latest build for both Hungarian and English documents (preferably featuring build with both pdflatex and xelatex).

Replace TeXnicCenter with TeXstudio

In Chapter 1 recommend TeXstudio instead of TeXnicCenter, because it is more up-to-date and has more features.

Lstlisting: green comments are hard to read over grey background

I think this would look better with no color at all:

Dupla oldalas beállításnál extra üres oldalak szúródnak be

Eddig az egyoldalas beállítást használtam:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside]{report} % Single-side

De mivel kötelező a kétoldalas nyomtatás, így ezt a sort kommenteltem ki:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside,openright]{report} % Duplex

A probléma az, hogy a táblázatok jegyzések, ábrák jegyzéke és a köszönetnyilvánítás fejezetek után üres oldalakat szúr be. Ez nekem extra 5 üres oldalt jelent. Ha visszaállítom egyoldalasra, akkor a probléma megszűnik.

Mi lehet a megoldás erre? Egyáltalán a sablon hibája ez? Sharelatexel (online) használom, gond eddig nem volt vele és nincs compilation warnig se error.

Edit: Minden fejezet után beszúr nekem egy üres oldalt.

Edit2: az openright törlésével a probléma megszűnik, nem tudom, hogy ez tudatos-e vagy véletlenül maradt-e bent. Amennyiben tudatos, akkor bocsánat a felesleges issue-ért.
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside]{report} % Duplex
