LaTeX template for TUM theses

This is a LaTeX template created according to the guidelines for TUM informatics theses in SS 2013. Always check the current formatting guidelines before you hand in. See build/main.pdf for an example PDF created with this template.

Note: Because of copyright considerations, TUM logos are not included in this template. Unfortunately, the logos are also not available on the MyTUM website anymore.

Comments & contributions welcome!

Quickstart

• Download and extract the template, or upload it to an online editor such as Overleaf or ShareLaTeX. If you prefer to use Git, just clone/fork the repository.
• If your editor provides support for compiling LaTeX, set it up to use pdflatex and biber. Set the master document to main.tex. Alternatively, you can use the provided Makefile to generate a PDF in the build directory (requires latexmk).
• Look for TODO comments in the provided files. Start at main.tex.

If you are new to LaTeX, the ShareLaTeX knowledge base or the LaTeX Wikibook might help.

For additional hints, have a look at the wiki. If you still have problems with the template, feel free to create an issue. For general LaTeX questions, use TeX StackExchange.

How to add appendices to the very end of the document

Hi,

first, thank you very much for sharing this template. I find it very useful to my master thesis typesetting.

I would like to know how can I add some appendices that dedicate to show some tables at the very end of the document?

I tried to add these lines to the main.tex:

...
\printbibliography{}
% the above stays unchanged while the following is added in attempt to include some appendices
\appendix
\chapter{An appendix}
\input{pages/appendix.tex}
\chapter{Another appendix}
\input{pages/appendix2.tex}
\end{document}

However, the output is not what I was expecting. I would like to have one thing: such entries

A. An Appendix ...................................... xx
B. Another Appendix ...............................  xx

in the ToC.
Second thing: "An Appendix" and "Another Appendix" starts with a new page respectively after the bibliography, just like two new chapters in the main matter. The title on the new pages should be something like "A. An Appendix" and "B. Another Appendix". The tables in "An Appendix" should have numbering A.1, A.2, etc. while tables in "Another Apendix" have B.1, B.2 etc. And these tables should be listed in the "List of Tables" page.

How do I achieve that? Thank you very much again for your help!

Archiving Repo

I would suggest archiving this repo in favour of the more updated TUM-Dev version: https://github.com/TUM-Dev/tum-thesis-latex

Different footer-height on Sharelatex

When using this template on Sharelatex, the footer-height is different than the example pdf in the repo and also different when I compile it manually.

Does anyone have a clue how to make the footer smaller on Sharelatex? Or why this happens?

Answer by the Sharelatex support:

Unfortunately I've been unable to reproduce the problem but I have an idea as to why it might be happening. You may have a different page size set up as the default for your texlive installation than the one on ShareLaTeX i.e. US or letter paper instead of a4. To change the default paper size in TeXlive, you use tlmgr as shown below:
tlmgr paper letter
tlmgr paper a4

Bibliography formating in the template

Dear all,

first of all, thanks for the great template!

I want to adjust my bibliography such that only the initial of the authors' first names are displayed. That would be the library option "giveninits=true". But how can I add this option in the template? I am missing the location where the library package is included (\usepackage[options, options, giveninits=true]{biblatex}). Thank you for your help!

Best,
Lorenz

\subsubsection

Hi @fwalch,

thank you for providing this great template!

I am trying to go one level deeper in the indexing, but \subsubsection does not work as it is not displayed in the table of contents. Any idea how to solve it?

Blocking Notice (Sperrvermerk)

An example for a Sperrvermerk would be nice

Table of Figures

My thesis figure captions are too long. So, I have described everything for lazy reader who just look at the figures, there. So, for example the figures looks like this:

Can you please tell if you know a way to just use the bold part in the list of figures. I don't like to get a list of figures like this:

Additionally, I wanted to have list of listings for codes. Can you please guide me how can I do that?

Thanks in advanced.

Logo files not found

I had problems typesetting the template on windows with latest MikTex installation (2.9). Although following the Getting Started guide to download the faculty logos, they could not be found by latex. changing the file specification to include file endings fixed the problem:

  \includegraphics[width=20mm]{logos/faculty.pdf}

Logo links are broken

The links to the Logo files in README.md are now broken. I'm referring to this part of the README :

Download the TUM logo from here and save it to logos/tum.pdf.
Download your faculty's logo from here and save it to logos/faculty.pdf.

Unfortunately, I could not find the updated links on https://portal.mytum.de

License questions

Is it with the "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License." intended, that the complete thesis must be published under these conditions?

Or should someone who e.g. add design improvements just create a pull request?

Pseudo Code example

A pseudo code example would be nice.

Bibliography issue

When I do compile, after adding citations, I am getting the following error.

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2013/Debian)
The top-level auxiliary file: main.aux
I found no \citation commands---while reading file main.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file main.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file main.aux
(There were 3 error messages)

Note: I am using TexStudio

So In reference section I can't see any text in it.
