CSE Thesis Template

Background

This template is built upon one provided by the CSE chair @TUM in 2016. Though I am not familiar with the original owner, I owe them much of the credit for this work. The original publisher of this document for CSE was Yoshiyuki Sakai.

Dependencies

• install LaTeX
• install Pygments for minted

Note: if you prefer not to use minted (due to usability or preference), the package can of course be removed by commenting these lines of code with a % symbol and removing the minted example here. The listings package can be used by uncommenting here.

Creating a PDF

To create your thesis pdf, run:

latexmk --pdf -file-line-error -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape main.tex

Your compiled document will be found in the base project directory under main.pdf.

Note for IDE: If you are using an IDE, you may be able to specify the -shell-escape flag in its settings or to specify an option specific to your builder in the main.tex file. For example, this is known to work for the latex-tools package for Atom and Sublime:

% !TEX option = -shell-escape

Compatibility with other TeX systems

Currently, this template compiles successfully with:

• LaTeX (pdflatex)
• XeLaTeX
• LuaLaTeX

In case you want to mix more than one languages (e.g. english and german), using XeLaTeX (instead of LaTeX + Babel) is highly recommended.

Getting Started with LaTeX

A great resource for learning LaTeX can be found here and is a great starting point for beginners.
