### Building your thesis
|
|
|
|
#### Using the Make File (Unix/Linux)
|
|
|
|
The template supports PDF, DVI and PS formats. All three formats can be generated
|
|
with the provided `Makefile`.
|
|
|
|
To build the `PDF` version of your thesis, run:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
./makepdf
|
|
|
|
This build procedure uses `pdflatex` and will produce `thesis.pdf`.
|
|
|
|
To produce `DVI` and `PS` versions of your document, you should run:
|
|
|
|
./makeps
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
make BUILD_STRATEGY=latex
|
|
|
|
This will use the `latex` command to build the document and will produce
|
|
`thesis.dvi`, `thesis.ps` and `thesis.pdf` documents.
|
|
|
|
Clean unwanted files
|
|
|
|
To clean unwanted clutter (all LaTeX auto-generated files), run:
|
|
|
|
make clean
|
|
|
|
__Note__: the `Makefile` itself is take from and maintained at
|
|
[here](http://code.google.com/p/latex-makefile/).
|
|
|
|
#### Shell script for PDFLaTeX (Unix/Linux)
|
|
|
|
Usage: `sh ./compile-thesis.sh [OPTIONS] [filename]`
|
|
[option] compile: Compiles the PhD Thesis
|
|
[option] clean: removes temporary files no filename required
|
|
|
|
#### Using the Batch file on Windows (PDFLaTeX)
|
|
|
|
* Open command prompt and navigate to the directory with the tex file. Run `compile-thesis-windows.bat`.
|
|
|
|
* Double click on `compile-thesis-windows.bat`
|
|

# Usage details
|
|
|
|
## Class Options
|
|
|
|
`PhDThesisPSnPDF` is based on the standard `book` class
|
|
|
|
It support the following custom options:
|
|
|
|
* `a4paper` (default as per University guidelines) or `a5paper`: Paper size
|
|
|
|
* `11pt` or `12pt`: Cambridge University guidelines recommend using a minimum font size of 11pt (12pt is preferred) and 10pt for footnotes. This template also supports `10pt`.
|
|
|
|
* `oneside` or `twoside` (default): This is especially useful for printing double side (twoside) or single side.
|
|
|
|
* `print`: Supports Print and Online Version with different page margins and hyperlink styles.
|
|
Use `print` in the options to activate Print Version with appropriate margins and page layout and view styles.
|
|
Leaving the options field blank will activate Online version.
|
|
|
|
* `custommargin`: You can alter the margin dimension for both print and online version by using the keyword `custommargin` in the options sections. Then you can define the dimensions of the margin in the `PhDThesisPSnPDF.cls` Class file.
|
|
|
|
* `index`: Including this option in `\documentclass` build the index, which you can put at the and of the thesis.
|
|
|
|
Instructions on how to use the index can be found [here](http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Indexing#Using_makeidx).
|
|
|
|
_Note_: the package `makeidx` is used to create the index.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Choosing the Fonts:
|
|
|
|
`PhDThesisPSnPDF` currently supports two fonts `Times` and `Latin Modern (default)`.
|
|
|
|
* `times`: (Cambridge University guidelines recommend using Times). Specifying times option in the document class will use `mathptpx` or `Times` font with Math Support.
|
|
* `fourier`: fourier font with math support
|
|
* `default (empty)`: When no font is specified, `Latin Modern` is used as the default font with Math Support.
|
|
* `customfont`: Any custom font can be set in preamble by using `customfont` option in the document class. Then the custom font can be loaded in preamble.tex in
|
|
`\ifsetFont\else \RequirePackage{Your_Custom_Font}\fi`
|
|
|
|
### Choosing the Bibliography style
|
|
|
|
`PhDThesisPSnPDF` currently supports two styles `authoryear` and `numbered (default)`. Citation style has to be set. You can also specify `custombib` style
|
|
|
|
* `authoryear`: For author-year citation eg., Krishna (2013)
|
|
|
|
* `numbered`: (Default Option) For numbered and sorted citation e.g., [1,5,2]
|
|
|
|
* `custombib`: Define your own bibliography style in the `preamble.tex` file.
|
|
`\RequirePackage[square, sort, numbers, authoryear]{natbib}`
|
|
|
|
### Choosing the Page Style
|
|
|
|
`PhDThesisPSnPDF` defines 3 different page styles (header and footer). The following definition is for `twoside` layout.
|
|
|
|
* `default (leave empty)`: For Page Numbers in Header (Left Even, Right Odd) and Chapter Name in Header (Right Even) and Section #. Section Name (Left Odd). Blank Footer.
|
|
|
|
Header (Even) : 4 Introduction
|
|
Header (Odd) : 1.2 Section Name 5
|
|
Footer : Empty
|
|
|
|
* `PageStyleI`: For Page Numbers in Header (Left Even, Right Odd) and Chapter Name next to the Page Number on Even Side (Left Even). Section Number and Section Name and Page Number in Header on Odd Side (Right Odd). Footer is empty. Layout:
|
|
|
|
Header (Even) : 4 | Introduction
|
|
Header (Odd) : 1.2 Section Name | 5
|
|
Footer : Empty
|
|
|
|
* `PageStyleII`: Chapter Name on Even Side (Left Even) in Header. Section Number and Section Name in Header on Odd Side (Right Odd). Page numbering in footer. Layout:
|
|
|
|
Header (Even) : Introduction
|
|
Header (Odd) : 1.2 Section Name
|
|
Footer[centered]: 3
|
|
|
|
## Custom Settings
|
|
|
|
* The depth of table of contents can be set using:
|
|
`\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}`
|
|
`\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}`
|
|
a depth of [3] indicates to a level of `\subsubsection` or #.#.#.#. Default set as 2.
|
|
|
|
* To hide sections from appearing in TOC use: `\tochide\section{Section name}` in your TeX files
|
|
|
|
* To restrict the length of the figure caption in List of figures use in `preamble.tex`:
|
|
`\caption[Caption that you want to appear in TOC]{Actual caption of the figure}`
|
|
`\section[short]{title}`
|
|
|
|
* Define custom caption style for figure and table caption in `preamble.tex` using:
|
|
`\RequirePackage[small,bf,figurename=Fig.,labelsep=space,tableposition=top]{caption}`
|
|
|
|
* Bibliography with Author-Year Citation in `preamble.tex`:
|
|
`\RequirePackage[round, sort, numbers, authoryear]{natbib}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Nomenclature Definition
|
|
|
|
* To use nomenclature in your chapters:
|
|
`\nomenclature[g-pi]{$\pi$}{ $\simeq 3.14\ldots$}`
|
|
The sort keys have prefix. In this case a prefix of `g` is used to denote Greek Symbols, followed by `-pi` or `-sort_key`. Use a `-` to separate sort key from the prefixes. The standard prefixes defined in this class are:
|
|
|
|
* `A` or `a`: Roman Symbols
|
|
|
|
* `G` or `g`: Greek Symbols
|
|
|
|
* `Z` or `z`: Acronyms/Abbreviations
|
|
|
|
* `R` or `r`: Superscripts
|
|
|
|
* `S` or `s`: Subscripts
|
|
|
|
* `X` or `x`: Other Symbols
|
|
|
|
* You can change the Title of Nomenclature to Notations or Symbols in the `preamble.tex` using:
|
|
`\renewcommand\nomname{Symbols}`
|
|
|
|
|

# Warnings and FAQs
|
|
|
|
__W1__: I get the ``LaTeX Warning: You have requested document class `Classes/PhDThesisPSnPDF', but the document class provides `PhDThesisPSnPDF'." warning, should I be concerned?
|
|
|
|
No! Do nothing, or if you don't want any warning messages change the line near the top of the class file to \ProvidesClass{Classes/PhDthesisPSnPDF} if you're not going to install the class file in a more standard location.
|
|
|
|
__W2__:I get package Fancyhdr Warning: \fancyhead's `E' option without twoside option is useless on input line 321 or 322.. What should I do?
|
|
|
|
Nothing. The warning is because twoside option is also defined in the class, although only oneside option is currently used.
|
|
|
|
__W3__: I get Class PhDThesisPSnPDF Warning: Unknown or non-standard option 'something'. Will see if I can load it from the book class. If you get a warning unused global option(s): `eco` then the option is not supported! on input line 91.
|
|
|
|
You are either trying to use a undefined option or a non-standard option, which is in the book class but not defined in the PhD Thesis Template. If it can be used it will be loaded and you will get no further warnings. If not the option you chose is unavailable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__W4__: I get LaTeX Warning: Unused global option(s):[something].
|
|
|
|
You are trying to load an option that is not supported in the PhDThesisClass and the Book Class. Check you spelling!
