# LyXTufteThesis



A LyX template for PhD theses at HU Berlin. This is tailored to be compliant with the rules of

the Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät.



## Some Notes



* In order to compile this document with `biblatex` instead ot `natbib`, I tweaked the LyX-layout to

not include `natbib.sty` by standard. If you're using the layout-file, please note that you have to

load the document class with the `nobib` option for it to work.

* The toc in tufte-book is usually rather slim with references to chapters only. Since this is not

compliant with the standard toc of dissertations, load the class with the `notoc` option

* I've added the following additional preamble

```latex

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}

\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}



\usepackage{titlesec}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{afterpage}



\newenvironment{changemargin}[2]{%

\begin{list}{}{%

\setlength{\topsep}{0pt}%

\setlength{\leftmargin}{#1}%

\setlength{\rightmargin}{#2}%

\setlength{\listparindent}{\parindent}%

\setlength{\itemindent}{\parindent}%

\setlength{\parsep}{\parskip}%

}%

\item[]}{\end{list}}



\geometry{bindingoffset=0.9cm}



\usepackage{xpatch}

\AtBeginDocument{\xapptobibmacro{cite}{\setunit{\nametitledelim}\printfield{year}}{}{}}



```
