Here I am sharing template for thesis, project report. This is generalized template as it can be used for any university, institute by adding their specific logo, name.
Instruction to use template:
Dear Participants,
The details of the template are as follows:-
1. Template includes different files like .tex, .bib etc . For report writing we are using only .tex files.
2. ‘Dissertation.tex’ is the main tex file where all the chapters and bibliography files are included.
3. Report contents different chapters. Every time you have to run or texify ‘Dissertation.tex’ for eg. Suppose I am adding some content in ‘chapter1.tex’ file. Save it and go in ‘Dissertation.tex’ and texify it to see dvi file (don’t texify chapter1.tex ). This is because I have included \documentclass{DegreeReport}, \begin{document}…… \end{document} commands only in ‘Dissertation.tex’
4. Template is customized.
a. In ‘Disser_certificate1.tex’ Replace ‘Title of the project’ by your project title
b. Enter your name as” Surname Name”
c. Logo of your institute or university or company you can add in ‘DegreeReport.cls’ file
All the chapters and bibliography are included in ‘disseratation.tex’.
To create ‘dvi’ file (to check appearance of report), run ‘disseratation.tex’ file using ‘Texify’ and then ‘dvi2pdf’ to get final pdf report
Now a days the documents like project reports, scientific publications are becoming more and more complex with intricate formatting, cross referencing, large number of pages, chapters with multiple illustrations and so on. Creating and managing such documents in commercially available word processing software becomes a challenge, resulting in large file size, formatting getting disturbed and many of the times the word processing software crashing and eventually the data file getting corrupt. To avoid such situations, a scientific approach should be adopted for preparation of the documents. LaTex offers excellent platform for such scientific document creation. However many students find LaTex difficult to use primarily because of limited exposure of such tools as well as limited expert guidance available in the environment.
This course is divided into different chapters along with a template that can be customized to suit individual needs. The course starts with very basics, right from the installation to basic formatting and gradually moves to more advance topics like the math mode, array and equations, etc and ends with a brief on class files. Each topic is supported with a step by step video of the LaTex use along with associated notes and tutorials. To check your progress, two assignments are also included as part of the course.
In this course document formatting has done in two different IDE 'Texstudio' and 'WinEdt'. you can go for any one as per your comfort.
The course is organized into various chapters so that you can complete the course at your own pace. I will be regularly introducing new content, so watch out for this space.
Wish you all the best and happy learning!!
