# dissertation-latex

Instructions are in the pdf and source code.

This document is meant as a Latex template to help future PhD students write their dissertations and contains notes and examples which I would have liked to know in advance. I hope it helps, but cannot guarantee that I got everything right. I will assume that you are familiar with the basic functions of \LaTeX. In some cases, you will need to look at the source code rather than the pdf to make sense of the template. For instance, the title pages (title page, bibliographic information, Promotionsordnung) contain some commented notes in the \LaTeX\space code regarding the formal requirements and upload to TUprints. I did not want these notes to appear in the pdf such you don't need to delete them in your actual dissertation. I often tried to display the Latex code in the pdf, so you can copy and paste it (nearly as is, mind additional whitespaces), and also provide an example of what it looks like in practice. I myself took initial advise from a collection of notes for Latex dissertations I found on the internet, you are encouraged to also visit: [[GitHub|http://alexanderfabisch.github.io/latex-for-dissertations.html]] as of 2023-03-22.
