tgm-hit / diploma-thesis Goto Github PK

In the diploma thesis the page numbers are all on the right side.
When printing this thesis double-sided, this doesn't look too well, and we also got a request if we wanted to change these numbers.
Thus it would be useful to display the page-numbers (and title) relative to being odd or even pages.

Add an option to section commands to provide an author responsible for the following section. Its value can be displayed below the section title and set as the author shown in the documents footer.

Usage:

\section[authors=Arthur Dent]{Set authors for sections}

Result:

\section{Set author for sections}
\setauthor{Arthur Dent}
\textbf{\@currentauthor}

Either by adding an option that allows the writer to choose his/her preferred sorting option:

\newif\ifsort\sortfalse         % Sort cite by appearance language
\DeclareOption{sort}{\sorttrue}

and and by changing thesis.cls line 75 from

\else\RequirePackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex}\fi

to

\else\ifsort\RequirePackage[backend=bibtex,sorting=none]{biblatex} %sorting=none makes the cites appear in order of appearence
\else\RequirePackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex}\fi\fi

Or by permanently changing thesis.cls line 75 from:

\else\RequirePackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex}\fi

to:

\else\RequirePackage[backend=bibtex,sorting=none]{biblatex}\fi %sorting=none makes the cites appear in order of appearence

This marvelous python make script is missing here!!!

A quick explanation on how to apply the described options in the README.md would be helpful.
As our team struggled a long time with finding out how to change the studys language to english, adding something like the following lines into the README.md could make future students lifes easier.

The following options can be enabled by adding them as parameters in the 1st line of the main.tex as shown below:
​```latex
\documentclass[<option1>,<option2>,...]{thesis}
​```

Allow changing the font size as a document option.
Can currently be changed inside thesis.cls on lines 40-41:

% Load article class
\IfFileExists{crimson.sty}{
    \LoadClass[a4paper,{{fontsize}}]{book}   % Crimson
}{  \LoadClass[a4paper,{{fontsize}}]{book}}  % Default

Use options instead of empty parameters for \makefig{url}{size}{caption}{label}.
Possible solution: \makefig[size=1cm,caption=Caption,label=fig:label]{url}.

When using the \chapter command the header and footer disappear and are replaced by the current page number.
This appears due to the \chapter command resetting the page style.
