|
|
|
- modern: typographically pleasing

# How to customize
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The template is based on the excellent [`koma-script`](https://ctan.org/pkg/koma-script)
|
|
|
|
class. You can thus change the appearance of many things quite easily.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want the thesis to use the `letter` paper format,
|
|
|
|
just add
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\KOMAoptions{paper=letter}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the preamble of the document and recompile.

# Example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The repository comes with an example file called `Thesis.tex`. Please
|
|
|
|
take a look at this file in order for more detailed instructions about
|
|
|
|
how to use the class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to use `latexmk` to build your LaTeX documents. Your
|
|
|
|
distribution might already have this command. If so, you can use
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
latexmk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the main directory of this repository in order to build the example
|
|
|
|
file.
