Hi,
the dateoforalexamination{...}-value is rendered, even though the "accpted"-flag is not set.

It feels a little bit pretentious to specify that date for the initial submission.

The expected behavior would be:

• When "accepted "is set --> exception, when the date is not set
• When "accepted" is not set --> \dateoforalexamination{...} of oral examination should not be rendered, regardless of whether it is set or not.

Please don't mix packages scrbook and geometry without respecting the authors' guidelines. There is a huge amount of typesetting issues coming around when simply \usepackage{geometry} in a document based on \documentclass{scrbook}.
Please refer to chapter 2 of the koma script guide which says

Many LaTeX classes, including the standard classes, present the user with a largely fixed configuration of margins and page layout. In the standard classes, the choice is limited to selecting a font size. There are separate packages, such as geometry (see [Ume10]), which give the user complete control over, but also full responsibility for, setting the type area and margins.
KOMA-Script takes a somewhat different approach with the typearea package. Users are offered ways to adjust the design and algorithms based on established typographic standards, making it easier for them to make good choices.

Now of course

If you have concrete specifications for the margins, typearea is not suitable. In this case, you should use the geometry package (see [Ume10]).

However,

In the worst case, use the geometry package (see [Ume10]), which is not part of KOMA - Script, or change the page layout parameters of L A TEX yourself. You can find the values as determined by typearea in the log file of your document. The usegeometry option, which you can find in part II, can also improve the interactions between typearea and geometry. This should allow modest adjustments. However, make sure that the proportions of the text area match those of the page, taking the binding correction into account.

Hi developers,
I hope this is the right plattform to ask this. As I last used github some years ago and am not a coder, setting up the repository was a bit difficult at first.

Would you be interested in me providing a "how to" for other non-coders as well? (So that others can set up the repository?).
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this repository and keeping it updated!

Usually, when choosing a two-page document, the inner margin is half the outer margin. That is, on the right page, the right margin is e.g., 2cm, and the inner margin is 1cm. That is because you want equal margins on the left, middle, and right when putting two pages side-by-side.
Right now, the document renders with a huge inner margin (2.80cm) and a small outer margin (1.40cm). Of course, this does not take into BCOR (binding correction). Assuming, however, there is no binding (pasting) of the final document, then the final document looks weird and is against all typographical best practices.
Also, it doesn't follow the komas script guidelines to setting up a two-pages document.

My suggestion:

\geometry{%
    top=2.00cm,%
    bottom=2.00cm,%
    inner=1.25cm,%
    outer=2.50cm,%
    headheight=0.70cm,%
    headsep=0.70cm,%
    footskip=0.70cm,
    head=32pt,%
}

(or whatever other dimensions suit the developers).

Thank you very much for providing this helpful repo!

The University of Stuttgart's publishing guide (https://www.verbund.uni-stuttgart.de/maschinenbau/#id-18510c4e) links to this repository as well as to a .docx-template.

The bibliography style for the .docx looks like this
my TeXworks renders the provided "bibliography.bib" for "diss_beispiel.tex" as

I have some question regarding that:

1. Is this the latter output the intended result?
   2 .Depending on (1), is this mismatch between styles a known and accepted feature?

Hyphenation is inhibited, when words are composed with -. This happens often in German.

-Possible solution: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/63232/why-can-words-with-hyphen-char-not-be-hyphenated/63234#63234

• Other solution would be using "= for composed words, but automatic solution would be easier.

Fix:

• pdflatex only?: \hyphenchar\font=\string"7F
• all latex editors: \defaulthyphenchar=127

Hi all,

thank you for providing this template! When compiling, I get the following error message concerning the \maketitle command & wanted to ask whether others experience it, too:

! Undefined control sequence.
\maketitle ...\[\baselineskip ] \oralexamination
\end {tabbing} \end {minip...
l.109 \maketitle

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., \hobx'), type I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I am relatively unexperienced in LaTe (only wrote my master thesis with it), but as maketitle is a standard command, I was wondering whether something might be going on in the cls provided? Please find attached my logfile.
