LaTeX template for TUM theses

This is a LaTeX template created according to the guidelines for TUM informatics theses in WS 2022. 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. Unfortunately, the logos are also not available on the MyTUM website anymore. Your supervisor should be able to hand them to you.

Comments & contributions are welcome!

Quickstart

• Download and extract the template, or upload it to an online editor such as Overleaf or TUM ShareLaTeX. If you prefer to use Git, just clone/fork the repository. If your editor supports compiling LaTeX, set it up to use pdflatex and biber. Set the master document to main.tex. Alternatively, you can use the provided Makefile to generate a PDF in the build directory (requires latexmk).
• To use Visual Studio Code install the LaTeX Workshop extension. Then as soon as you click on "Save" it automatically compiles your thesis for you without having to configure anything.
• Look for TODO comments in the provided files. Start at main.tex.

If you are new to LaTeX, the Overleaf Documentation or the LaTeX Wikibook might help.

If you still have problems with the template, feel free to create an issue. For general LaTeX questions, use TeX StackExchange.
