This is a public latex template repository to write dissertations. It complies with the visual identity of Coimbra University. It was designed for the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologias da Universidade de Coimbra, but it can be adapted. In you check the generated sample PDF in the github pages of this repository.
This is a very quick overview to get you started. You will be able to find the full documentation in the docs tab in a near future.
This is the prefered method to work with this template. For this you require to have LaTeX installed in your computer and some sort of text editor, I advised using VSCode with the LaTeX extension. Learn more here.
There is no reason for this template not work directly in overleaf. Simply download the .zip file from this repository, extract it and import the folder over to Overleaf.
The structure of this template is organized in the following fashion:
chapter/hold the .tex files regarding your chapters (eg. Introduction, Background, Conclusion etc...)bibliography/have the.bibfilesimages/is a directory intended to store your imagesmisc/is a directory intended to store your other files. Can be used for store diagrams, ppt, etc...appendix/stores the files regarding your appendix
This is as simple as one can get.
The main.tex is used to:
- Hold all the configurations (Formating options, styling options etc...)
- Hold the informations regarding your dissertation (Title, your name, supervisor etc...)
- Import the Chapter files (you have to import the chapters into the
main.texfor them to compile) - Import references and appendix
