LaTeX template for TUM theses

This is a LaTeX template created according to the guidelines for TUM informatics theses in SS 2013. Always check the current formatting guidelines before you hand in. See build/main.pdf for an example PDF created with this template.

Note: Because of copyright considerations, TUM logos are not included in this template and have to be downloaded separately (see instructions below).

Comments & contributions welcome!

Quickstart

• Download and extract the template. If you prefer to use Git, just clone/fork the repository.
• Download the TUM logos in PDF format:
  • Log in to MyTUM.
  • Download the TUM logo from here and save it to logos/tum.pdf.
  • Download your faculty's logo from here and save it to logos/faculty.pdf.
  • Some logos might not be cropped; execute the crop-logos script to do that for you. The script requires the pdfcrop tool (included in TeX Live/MiKTeX), so make sure your PATH environment variable is set accordingly.
• Configure your latex editor to use pdflatex, biber for bibliography, and makeglossaries for glossary generation. Set main.tex as the master document. Alternatively, you can use the provided makefile to create a PDF in the build directory (requires latexmk).
• Look for TODO comments in the provided files. Start at main.tex.

For additional hints, have a look at the wiki. If you still have problems, feel free to create an issue.
