Latex Template for Thesis Writing at DTETI UGM

Info

This template can be used for a bachelor, master, and doctoral thesis at DTETI UGM, even though for the last one, it still can be considered as a "beta" release. Send me an email or create a pull request if you have improvements for this template.

What's new

[2020-02-12] Delegated as semi-formal master thesis template. Major upgrades including (1) better support for bookmarks and highlight, (2) migrating master thesis format page margin to left=3.5cm and 2.5cm for others, and (3) support multi-row table.

[2020-01-28] You can use command \printendorsementpdf to include your pdf file containing the endorsement. Otherwise, use \printendorsement

Compiling PDF

The most simple way to compile LaTeX is to use an online compiler such as Overleaf. One beginner-friendly option for offline compilation is to use MiKTeX with TeXstudio. Another great option is to use Visual Studio Code powered with Git, Grammarly, Code Spell Checker, and LaTeX Workshop.

Note

Use alt + z in VS Code to enable/disable line warping for an easier latex writing

To compile PDF using a command-line, you can use the below steps:

Change path to main/
```
cd main
```

Compile to pdf

For common compile:

pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "thesis_template.tex"

To include printing error:

pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode -file-line-error "thesis_template.tex"

pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=nonstopmode "thesis_template.tex"

Some packages require multiple runs such as:

Updating bib and creating or using a new `\label`` require multiple compilations:

pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "thesis_template.tex"
bibtex "thesis_template"
pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "thesis_template.tex"
pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "thesis_template.tex"

Using highlights (\hly, \hlg, and \hlr) require two times compilation:

pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "thesis_template.tex"
pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "thesis_template.tex"

You can use the below commands to compile summary_en and summary_id:

pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "summary_id.tex"
bibtex "summary_id"
pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "summary_id.tex"
pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "summary_id.tex"

pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "summary_en.tex"
bibtex "summary_en"
pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "summary_en.tex"
pdflatex.exe --synctex=1 --interaction=batchmode "summary_en.tex"

Note

Don't forget to create all necessarily chapters (e.g., contents/chapter-1/chapter-1-sum-en, contents/chapter-2/chapter-2-sum-en, contents/chapter-1/chapter-1-sum-id, and contents/chapter-2/chapter-2-sum-id).

How-to-use

Read the detailed information in thesis_template.tex.
In case some .sty (packages) files are not available in your TeX installation, just copy the required one from the packages/ directory into main/ (side by side with thesis_template.tex). Hopefully, this will help beginner users.
In case the following pgfplots compatibility error occurs,
```
! Package pgfplots Error: Sorry, 'compat=1.16' is unknown in this context. Please use at most 'compat=1.15'.
```
open the thesisdtetiugm.cls file and edit \pgfplotsset{compat=1.16} to \pgfplotsset{compat=1.15}.
In the case of an Undefined control sequence. error occurs in the \UseRawInputEncoding command of thesisdtetiugm.cls, open the thesisdtetiugm.cls file and comment out \UseRawInputEncoding by adding a % before it.

The pgfplots and \UseRawInputEncoding errors typically occur for Ubuntu/Linux users.
In the case of a page suddenly restarting from 0 due to the use of highlights, try to breakdowns the highlights. For cleaning highlights, use the utilities/remove_highlight.ipynb, It uses Python, so you might need to install Python first beforehand.

Warning

The utilities/remove_highlight.ipynb and utilities/remove_textit.ipynb use regex and unable to count. Thus, it will fail to remove properly if there is nested curly bracket {...{...}...} inside. For example, \hly{Hey \textit{italic} text} will falsely removed to \Hey \textit{italic text}.

Main files

Content directory

This directory and the subdirectories are not compulsory. I arranged it in such a way as to make it easier in writing.

|-- contents/
    |-- nomenclature/
        |-- nomenclature.tex
    |-- statement/
        |-- statement.tex
    |-- endorsement/
        |-- endorsement.pdf

    |-- chapter-5/
        |-- chapter-5.tex
    |-- appendix/
        |-- appendix.tex

Bibtex

Contains references.bib as your centralized BibTeX file and IEEEtran.bst as a BibTeX formatter following IEEE Transactions format.

Codes

Your program codes are stored here. Using some more tweaking, a python code can be run from inside LaTeX and the output will be embedded inside the output pdf.

Equations

Centralized compilable equations. You can compile the equations only pdf here, or call it from your contents/*.tex file. To make separated compiled equations, run contents/equations-wrapper.tex.

Nomenclature

To build using nomencl (not yet fully supported), see this tutorial. Currently, only support manual nomenclature as shown in main/contents/nomenclature/nomenclature.tex.

Images

Your images sit here.

Additional files

|-- packages/ (Additional sty files for helping beginner users)

Notes

Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD) submission requires splitted files that can be copied. You can use ilovepdf. Printing using Microsoft Print to PDF will result in a rejected submission.
If you are going to send this repository to someone else, you can remove all artifacts using Git command:

Check what will be deleted:
```
git clean -dfXn
```
Delete after you are sure about what are you doing
```
git clean -dfXn
```
