This repository contains a minimal & modern LaTeX template for dissertations and other university documents.
For the impatient or curious: this is what the template looks like. You may also want to take a look at my my Ph.D. dissertation, which uses a predecessor of this template.
This template aims to be…
- clean: no LaTeX trickery
- minimal: no unnecessary adjustments and decorations
- modern: typographically pleasing
It is specifically suited for the European education system because it uses A4 paper size by default—this can be easily adjusted to fit your personal needs, though (see below).
The class is based on KOMA-script
, so it should be
flexible enough to suit virtually any purpose.
- Clone this repository
- Copy the file
mimosis.cls
into your document directory - Add
\documentclass{mimosis}
to your document preamble - Optionally copy the file
Thesis.tex
and the files inSources
as a starting point - Use
latexmk
to build the document usingpdflatex
- Write a nice thesis in LaTeX
The template is based on the excellent KOMA-script
class. You can thus change the appearance of many things quite easily.
For example, if you want the thesis to use the letter
paper format,
just add
\KOMAoptions{paper=letter}
in the preamble of the document and recompile.
The repository comes with an example file called Thesis.tex
. Please
take a look at this file in order for more detailed instructions about
how to use the class.
It is recommended to use latexmk
to build your LaTeX documents. Your
distribution might already have this command. If so, you can use
latexmk
in the main directory of this repository in order to build the example file.
If you require additional features, find some bugs, or just have some generic inquiries, please just open an issue in this repository.
