LaTeX Template for Bachelor/Master Thesis/Projectreports etc.

SYSSEC thesis-template

Clone the git and compile with latexmk. Heavily inspired by the mas-template. If you run into any issues with this template, open a new issue on github or gitlab. Thanks.

How to use this template

You can use this template to write your thesis or to write a report. Just change the option in the syssec-thesis.tex preamble. The syssec-thesis.tex should only be used to glue together your document. Your writings should be put in seperate tex files and then use the \input{path/to/.tex} latex command to include the various files. This keeps your project structured and tidy.

You are free to modify this template, as much as you like.

If you want to compile your files, just invoke latexmk which will do the work for you. To clean up, just use latexmk -c. This will leave only the PDF file in the folder.
