Universität Hamburg LT Thesis Template


Use this template to produce a standard thesis that meets the University requirements for DPhil submission, and should be passable for other thesis-based degrees (e.g. MPhil) as well.


In modern LaTeX implementations, you should be able to open main.tex with your favorite editor and compile it. By default, this template uses biber/BibLaTeX for references / citations, so you may have to make the appropriate changes in your build preferences.

Make a full build using latexmk by simply typing

$> latexmk

or more explicit:

$> latexmk -pdf -bibtex

(see latexmkrc for reference). Run

$> latexmk -c

or more explicit:

$> latexmk -pdf -bibtex -c

to clean temporary output files. Use a capital -C to clean generated pdf files too.

A non latexmk typical manual full build is:

  1. $> pdflatex main.tex
  2. $> biber main
  3. $> pdflatex main.tex
  4. $> pdflatex main.tex

Using the Makefile, you can run the default target to build pdf files from all .tex files in the root directory:

$> make

or run

$> make bsc

$> make msc

$> make main

to build either 'main-bsc.tex', 'main-msc.tex', or 'main.tex'.


Run

$> make clean

or

$> make cleanall

to clean temporary output files. The target 'cleanall' removes additionally the generated pdf files.


Run

$> make authors

or

$> make authors-first

to print a list of authors extracted from your *.bib files in the ./bib/ directory. The target 'authors-first' extracts a list of first authors.


There should be subfolders called 'text' and 'figures'. Keep all your work in these folders. This will make your life much simpler when you need to go about deleting files creating while compiling while not deleting your actual thesis.

Make a new .tex file for each chapter and appendix, and place them in the 'text' folder. If you'll have a figure-intensive thesis, subfolders in 'figures' is a good idea. Use PDF graphics if at all possible.

The LaTeX cheat sheet is your friend. Google it. http://tex.stackexchange.com has lots of answers to common LaTeX problems.
