Make copyright page self contained (add author, title, DOI?)

Shorten introduction, Appendix, etc.

A rare but nasty problem. Don't know yet how to do this ...

Hinweise auf das subfig Package (in abbildungen.tex) sind vermutlich unnötig.

The current (2005!) version of the algorithmicx package has several flaws regarding the indentation of lines. I suggest to pack all fixes into a new style file (e.g., hgbalgo.sty).

Add @standard to the biblatex entry types examples in literatur.bib and show an example. Probably using a web standard (W3C Recommendation) might be a good idea, since those are required quite often by students.

In HgbThesisTutorial, check for "hagenberg-Paket" and other references, consistently replace with "hagenberg-thesis". Also check if certain third-party packages need to be mentioned at all.

To publish the thesis template on Overleaf, the intended approach is (see https://www.overleaf.com/help/230-how-do-i-push-a-new-project-to-overleaf-via-git#.WMqDlE13HCM):

1. create a new Latex project on Overleaf,
2. find out its Git URL (in "share"),
3. add this URL as an additional 'remote' in your local Git repo,
4. merge and
5. push to the overleaf remote.

Two limitations came up: (a) I could not merge the two repos properly, (b) there is a (undocumented) limitation of max. 60 files for free Overleaf accounts (too few for the complete template).

Those documents still show serif headings. We should probably change those to match the style of hgbthesis completely.

The TOC for the term report also needs to be adapted, right now the sans serif fonts for chapters only apply to hgbthesis documents.

• Vorsicht beim Download von BibTeX-Daten -- die sind meistens fehlerhaft. Nicht blind übernehmen!!
• Groß-Kleinschreibung in Titeln, Konferenznamen etc., Anordung von Konferenznamen.
• Journal-Namen grundsätzlich ausschreiben.
• Auf Konsistenz bei Ortsangaben, Verlagen etc. achten!

I have a problem, that I cannot change the font of the chapters/sections, even if I change all "\sffamily" parts of the .cls and .sty files to "\rmfamily" (I want to use Roman instead of Sans Serif). The text has changed into Roman, as I wanted to, but the chapters/section dont change!

Load the xcolor package with a set predefined set of named colors (e.g., svgnames) or define a separate (non-conflicting) set of colors?

When i use the program enviroment like:

\begin{program}[ht]
\begin{CppCode}[firstnumber=668]
#if defined(__arm__)
#elif defined(__x86_64__)
#endif
\end{CppCode}
\caption{foo bar batz}
\label{prog:mylabel}
\end{program}

i would like to have list of these listings, just like a list figures. Unfortunately using \lstlistoflistings just creates an empty page. How can i work around that?
Thanks!

Add a new option in hgbthesis.cls.

Hi,

thanks for sharing this great template. I've used it for a lot of my courses and now for my thesis which is almost done. I've set some modifications and tried to bundle issues with the template. Fortunately there's nothing to bundle because I've only one issue : how can I completely remove the advisorpage without mixing up the page numbering?

Thanks,

Chris

Rename 'praktikum.tex' to 'internship.tex'? Or leave as is, because used in German only?

subfigure is currently not included but authors often use it, unfortunately in a rather indifferent manner. The package has some awkward default settings that should be corrected for by the import statement. The example should demonstrate simple but proper usage.

These definitions should not be there.

Does this template support lua(la)tex?

hgb.sty, hgbbib.sty, hgbheadings.sty, hgblistings.sty and hgbabbrev.sty contain many old settings that have been commented out during earlier versions and most likely have been kept for fallback reasons. Removing these lines would make the files smaller. Old settings would still be available in version control anyway.

The definition of JavaScript language specifics in hgblistings.sty is outdated (no ECMASCript 5 and 6 definitions, no Node.js keywords, etc.) and seems a bit wrong anyway. There are keywords that do not belong to JavaScript as far as I know.

To update the definition I suggest using the one declared in https://github.com/xgirma/latex-javaScript (it's in main.tex) as a starting point. It's a current definition and well thought-out.

You can use links like:

https://www.overleaf.com/docs?snip_uri=https://github.com/user/project/archive/master.zip

to automatically import zip files into Overleaf. I suggest changing the links in the README.

Hallo,

kurze Frage: Wenn ich meine Arbeit binden lassen möchte, empfiehlt sich gleich das ganze beidseitig zu bedrucken. Ist in dem Paket der beidseitige Druck (twoside) vorgesehen, damit jeweils der linke und rechte Rand abwechselnd einen größeren Abstand zur Bindung bekommen?

Ich habe bereits gesehen, dass das Paket auf der Klasse "book" aufsetzt, allerdings passen beim setzen der twoside Option z. B. die Seitenüberschriften nicht mehr. Gibt's da eine Lösung?

I added a glossary to my thesis, maybe it would fit into here too, I can think of others may also integrate one.

*thesis.tex:

\RequirePackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{color}
+\usepackage[acronym,xindy,nopostdot]{glossaries}

\graphicspath{{images/}}    % Abbildungsverzeichnis
\logofile{logo}				% Name des Logo-PDFs in images/ (\logofile{}, wenn kein Logo gewuenscht)
\bibliography{literatur}  	% Name der Biblatex-Literaturdatei (.bib)

+\clearpage\renewcommand{\glossaryname}{Glossar}
+\makeglossaries
+\loadglsentries{back/98-glossary}
....
....
%%%----------------------------------------------------------
\MakeBibliography                        % Quellenverzeichnis
+\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,title={Abk\"urzungen}]
%%%----------------------------------------------------------

back/98-glossary.tex:

\usepackage[acronym,xindy,nopostdot]{glossaries}

\newacronym{VCS}{VCS}{Version Control System}
\newacronym{SVN}{SVN}{Subversion}

See https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Glossary.

I also gave the IEEE BibLaTeX style a go in bibliography-ieee. There's two versions though that can be set in hgbbib.sty:

1. style=ieee sets the numeric IEEE-style. This keeps the [1]-type references but does no alphabetic ordering. References are set in the bibiography in the order of appearance.
2. style=ieee-alphabetic sets the alphabetic versions. Refereces are the first 3 to 4 author name letters and the year, e.g. [Art07] for Artner, 2007 or [BB15] for Burger, Burge, 2015. Bibliography is then sorted alphabetically.

Compared to the issues mentioned in #31 we don't have to change any cite commends. If we want to use the alphabetic version we need to add information to some bib entries that lack for example author or year (e.g. the legislation entries). I added the year where necessary and used the label={} field to generate a label without explicitly adding an author.

Again - have a look - comments apprectiated!

URLs - vor allem im Quellenverzeichnis - brechen oft unvorteilhaft um. Entsprechend passende Zeilenumbrüche sollten ermöglicht werden.

FileList was a quick solution, should be revised and adapted to English version.

Instructions for using the template under various TeX/Editor/Viewer environments are partially outdated and/or inconsistent. E.g., TexNicCenter profile file _tc_output_profile_sumatra_utf8.tco is mentioned in various places in the text but missing. I suggest to place this (and possibly others) in a new directory _setup/, e.g.,

_setup/
    win/
        texniccenter/
            output_profile_sumatra_utf8.tco
...

In addition, other (better) environments should be mentioned.
Remove all references to the old DVI/PS workflow?

The template currently uses CC 3.0 while 4.0 is already available.

I also suggest discussion the kind of CC license used since the current "Non Commerical, "No Derivatives" version is very strict in itself and contradicts the idea behind CC in my opinion. Discussion welcome (see https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/freeworks/ for additional info).

Sehr geehrter Herr Burger,

da uns Herr Bogner mitgeteilt hat, dass im Zuge einer Studienplanänderung die Angabe des Kurses - in dem wir unsere Bakk-Arbeit schreiben (Seminar zur Bachelorarbeit) - nicht mehr notwendig ist, wollte ich Sie fragen, wie ich das aus dem LaTeX Dokument entfernen kann?
Ich habe vergeblich versucht, die Zeile „\coursetitle{Seminar zur Bachelorarbeit}“ auszukommentieren, denn dann schreibt er dass er den Kurstitel nicht mehr findet!

Danke im Voraus,
Nico Teringl

I found madoko:

• available via npm
• https://www.madoko.net (main site)
  • https://www.madoko.net/editor.html (online editor, works offline once loaded, export to PDF or HTML, work with Dropbox or Github files)
    • using it with madoko-local from npm makes the site 100% more awesome
• docs
  • https://madoko.org/reference.pdf
    • https://github.com/koka-lang/madoko/blob/gh-pages/reference.pdf

You can:

• output static HTML
• output PDF
• output tex files for publishing

You can:

• make writing easier for new users
• re-use most LaTeX code

One would expect that when clicking on e.g. "vorwort.tex" in

\begin{FileList}{/thesis_DE/front}
\fitem{vorwort.tex} Vorwort %
\fitem{kurzfassung.tex} Kurzfassung %
\fitem{abstract.tex} Abstract %
\end{FileList}

would link to the file /thesis_DE/front/vorwort.tex, but instead it links to /vorwort.tex.
Maybe this is intended, I don't know, but I thought it is worth mentioning here.

I tested this with the current PDF version of this repository.

PS: This code excerpt is from the file thesis_DE/back/anhang_b.tex

When running biber/pdflatex, all the references are numbered with "0".
The links work correctly. Also the backlinks.

I am using Miktex 2.9 (with the latest updates as of today)

Changing in hgbbib.sty the option defernumbers=true to false fixed the problem:
\ExecuteBibliographyOptions{bibwarn=true,sortcites=true,defernumbers=false,isbn=false,doi=false,backref=true}

Why is this not the default? Or what options should one use in order to make the generation of references work with the original options?

The current ToC setup permits unwanted page breaks, e.g., between a parent entry and its first child entry. Suggestion: adopt the tocstyle package. Check if the (currently used) tocloft package can be removed completely.
Cleanup: hgbheadings.sty contains individual setups for various "hgb*" classes, introducing unnecessary dependencies. If necessary at all (after the suggested change) move these setups to the .class files?

Add to existing chapter.
See here for the approach:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/151287 (need to test first)
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.48#New_LaTeX_export_for_PDF.2FEPS.2FPS

Would be helpful to have a minimal example setup for beamer based slides using the hagenberg-thesis style files. At the moment there is a package clash with hyperref.

Fresh copies of HgbThesisTutorial, HgbThesisDE or HgbThesisEN do not build.

Check sans serif (CM, Helvetica)

We see frequent mistakes related to wrong quotes, in particular the false use of straight double quotes instead of the proper (language-dependent) quote sequences. Consider the csquotes package as a possible remedy. Special measures may be needed to avoid clashes with other uses of double quotes in German.

We are currently using Creative Commons but LPPL appears to be the common standard for LaTeX projects like this. I suggest to switch.

It's time now ...

Since burning CDs and DVDs has become quite exotic and putting SD cards or ultra-thin USB drives into a thesis is probably also not a long term solution it might be a good idea to store digital content (source code, reference material, PDF version of the thesis) online and add a link to this storage in the thesis.

While we aim to figure out the "how" and "where" on storing such files, I have proposed a simple addendum to the title pages that adds an additional field in the preamble which holds the URL to the content and uses this URL to generate a QR code as well as a link.
See branch qrcode-page to give it a try and feel free to modify this approach or suggest something completely different.

Any suggestions on where and how to store these digital files are of course welcome as well (maybe @diephuis has input on this as well).

Die Einträge für Masterarbeiten und deren Beschreibung überprüfen und ggf. aktualisieren.

Add name of school etc.

Keep old macros but mark as deprecated.

I added the bibliography-apa branch to try APA style references. I like the look and feel though it has some consequences.

Biggest change is that authors need to be aware of different citation methods.

• \parencite for references in parentheses, e.g. (Burger & Burge, 2015)
• \textcite when using a reference in the text, e.g. "as mentioned by Burger & Burge (2015)..."
• \cite when a reference is already within parentheses (to avoid double brackets), e.g. "Styles are fun (see Kopka & Daly, 2003 for more information)".

Another consequence is that every bibliography item needs an author or title and a year field. This can be difficult for URLs at times.

Other than that, APA reverts URLs back to serif, so I had to move the \urlstyle{sf} command after the biblatex include.

Have a look - comments appreciated!

For some reason, users seem to love the subfigure package (which we currently do not promote since it is not essential) but often use it in a non-reflected way. It might be helpful to (a) import the package with proper options and (b) add a small usage example to the template.
