Thesis Template

---------------

These are the files I used while writing my master thesis. It uses [latex-mk][2]. To

generate the sample pdf file run `make` at the project's root directory.

Generate glossaries with latex-mk

---------------------------------

To generate glossaries with latex-mk add the following snippet to your `~/.latexmkrc` file:

    add_cus_dep('glo', 'gls', 0, 'makeglo2gls');

    sub makeglo2gls {

                system("makeindex -s '$_[0]'.ist -t '$_[0]'.glg -o '$_[0]'.gls '$_[0]'.glo");

    }

Structure

---------

The main file is the `thesis.tex` which in turn includes the `thesis.sty` file. All

commands, environments and packages are defined in the `thesis.sty` file, while the

`thesis.tex` includes the chapters, the references and defines a basic structure.

Chapters are included from the `chapters` folder using the `subfiles` package.

The term definitions reside in the 

`glossary` folder. For images figures etc I prefer the `img` folder using a flat layout, 

but that's more of a personal taste. Finally frontmatter and

backmatter are in the `frontmatter` and `endmatter` folders respectively.

Packages

--------

The list of packages used:

* fontenc

* tgtermes

* geometry

* subfiles

* setspace

* parskip

* graphicx

* caption

* subcaption

* multirow

* hyperref

* url

* glossaries

* tocbibind

* underlin

* listings

Scripts

-------

The `img2eps.sh` scripts in an imagemagick wrapper which converts image files to the

eps format. The `new-chapter.py` is a script to quickly generate a scaffold of the next

chapter. It accepts an optional parameter with the chapter's title. It creates the

chapter file in the `chapter` folder using the appropriate filename.
