tum-thesis-latex's Issues

School of CIT instead of department

What is the difference between build/main.pdf and build/fachschaft_print.pdf?

From what I can tell, it tries to fix some issue with the twoside configuration of the thesis, but it is not documented in the README or the Makefile.

tum-thesis-latex/Makefile

Lines 12 to 28 in c98745b

	.PHONY: _fachschaft-print
	_fachschaft-print:
	@if grep -sq '^TUM-Dev LaTeX-Thesis-Template: twoside$$' $(OUT)/$(FILE).log; then \
	if [ "$(OUT)/fachschaft_print.pdf" -nt "$(OUT)/$(FILE).pdf" ]; then \
	echo "fachschaft_print.pdf is up to date"; \
	else \
	echo "Building fachschaft_print.pdf..."; \
	if ! command -v pdfjam >/dev/null; then \
	echo "PDFJAM not installed. Can not build fachschaft_print.pdf."; \
	rm -f "$(OUT)/_fachschaft_print.pdf"; \
	else \
	pdfjam --twoside --a4paper -o "$(OUT)/fachschaft_print.pdf" "$(OUT)/$(FILE).pdf" 1,3-; \
	fi \
	fi \
	else \
	cp "$(OUT)/$(FILE).pdf" "$(OUT)/fachschaft_print.pdf"; \
	fi;

My guess is that line 23 removes pages 1 and 3 because they are blank?

If it is not using the twoside mode, then it just copies main.pdf to fachschaft_print.pdf.

Change language of the thesis

Hello, i want to use the template for my german thesis and wanted to ask if there is any easy way i have overseen to change its language to german, so that the cover page is in german for example. Or so that it says "Literaturverzeichnis" instead of "Bibliography". I also do not know if this is the right way to ask something like this, if not i am sorry.

Including the degree course in the cover/ title

Hello,

thanks for the great template!

I noticed that it uses getFaculty() for both the faculty and the course of degree in the cover/ title. Im studying Information Systems so my cover should say:
SCHOOL OF COMPUTATION, INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY — INFORMATICS (faculty)
Bachelor’s Thesis in Information Systems (course of degree)

But currently I can only specify the faculty and it is used for both lines. So my suggestion would be to add a \newcommand*{\getDegree} in main and use getDegree() instead of getFaculty() in line 25/ 17 of cover/ title.
Alternatively since the template is meant for the Informatics faculty you could set it to Informatics by exchanging getFaculty() with "Informatics" in line 19/ 11 of cover/ title and only use the command for the degree.

Best regards,
Julian

Missing files I guess

On building the template, it returns the following issue;

Enter file name: 
./settings.tex:17: Emergency stop.
<read *> 
         
l.17 \usepackage
                {graphicx}^^M
./settings.tex:17:  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Transcript written on main.log.
Latexmk: Missing input file 'biblatex.sty' (or dependence on it) from following:
  ! LaTeX Error: File `biblatex.sty' not found.
Latexmk: If appropriate, the -f option can be used to get latexmk
  to try to force complete processing.

EDIT;
Found out, there are some more prerequisites, that are not listed for now:

• biber
• texlive-bibtexextra
• pydflatex
• latex-pgfplots
