A LaTeX template for Masters and PhD/Doctorate dissertations/theses according to IME/USP guidelines. Note that the actual formatting of the document (fonts, cover layout, spacing etc.) is not mandatory; the guidelines deal with the document structure only (the description of the guidelines is included in the template). The template is expected to be useful for unexperienced LaTeX users. Feel free to customize to your needs and, if appropriate, send us improvements. :)

The generated PDF file includes a FAQ, a short (but reasonably compreehensive) LaTeX tutorial, and some examples of LaTeX commands. Besides that, there are lots of comments in the "tese-exemplo.tex" and "miolo-preambulo.tex" files about the packages used and things you might want to customize or learn more about. These comments are in Brazilian Portuguese. Even if you have some LaTeX experience, you may benefit from skimming the comments, tutorial, and examples, as they include some useful tips.

You need a working LaTeX installation, including biber and biblatex (among other packages). The document may be compiled with "make" or "latexmk" (preferred) and this repo includes a compiled version of it.

There is a FAQ in the example document and this repo includes a compiled version of it in PDF format.

There are some instalation instructions in the example document, included in this repo in PDF format. The template uses makeindex, biber, and many LaTeX packages.

These packages are used in the template: nag, geometry, etoolbox, ifxetex, ifluatex, ifpdf, fontenc, inputenc, amsthm, babel, microtype, indentfirst, footmisc, emptypage, caption, hyperref, biblatex, setspace, parskip, xcolor, ragged2e, textcase, slantsc, fancyhdr, graphicx, float, flafter, placeins, pdflscape, rotating, subcaption, wrapfig, pdfpages, tablefootnote, array, dcolumn, longtable, multirow, makecell, booktabs, tocbibind, imakeidx, verbatim, latexsym, amsmath, amssymb, mathtools, csquotes, hypcap, hyperxmp, url, listings, textcomp, multicol, metalogo, epigraph, imakeidx.

The default fonts depend on these packages: lmodern, fix-cm, inconsolata, libertine, newtxmath, biolinum.

These packages are not used, but are mentioned and might be useful: paralist, titletoc, titlesec, lastpage, braket, siunitx, varioref, cleveref, todonotes, gensymb, glossaries, backref, newtxtt, newtxtext, gentium, DejaVuSansMono.

These packages are needed if you intend to use xelatex/lualatex: polyglossia, fontspec.

As of 2018, in debian/ubuntu systems, you need to install (with their dependencies) at least: texlive-base, texlive-latex-base, texlive-fonts-recommended, texlive-generic-recommended, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-extra, texlive-fonts-extra, texlive-bibtex-extra, texlive-lang-portuguese, texlive-lang-english, lmodern, biber, and latexmk. Just run

sudo apt install texlive-base texlive-latex-base texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-generic-recommended texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-extra texlive-bibtex-extra texlive-lang-portuguese texlive-lang-english lmodern biber latexmk

• Original version: Jesús P. Mena-Chalco
• Revision: Fabio Kon and Paulo Feofiloff
• Latest updates (utf8, biblatex etc.): Nelson Lago

• Recent biblatex versions (2017) use "labeldate+extradate" instead of "labelyear+extrayear"; in a couple of years we should modify the files plainnat-ime.bbx and plainnat-ime.cbx accordingly.

• The translated version of the natbib package included in the template is old; we should update it.
