Can you write a thesis in LaTeX?
With LaTeX, you don't have to worry about layout. Simply pick a template for the type of document you're writing (e.g., a resume or a thesis). If your university doesn't provide you with one, you can look online for free templates. Most LaTeX editors come with standard templates.How do you start a thesis in LaTeX?

USA AbstractThis article provides useful tools to write a thesis with LATEX. It analyzes the
typical problems that arise while writing a thesis with LaTeX and suggests improved solutions by handling easy packages. Many suggestions can be applied to book and article styles, as well. I would like to thank Fabiano Busdraghi who helped me to write sec. 4 , Massimiliano Do- minici who took care of the Linux and UNIX systems in sec. 4.1.2 and Riccar doCampana who took care of the Macintosh system in sec. 6.2.2 . I would also like to thank everyone else who con- tributed and in particular Valeria Angeli, Claudio Beccari, Barbara Beeton, Gustavo Cevolani, Massimo Guiggiani, Maurizio Himmelmann, Caterina Mori, Søren O"Neill, Lorenzo Pantieri, Francisco Reinaldo, Yuri Robbers, and Emiliano Vavassori. Without their help this article wouldn"t have reached the current form.Copyright © 2007 Lapo F. Mori

This article is not a guide on how to write a thesis but explains how to rightly use LAT EX resources when writing it. I will not cover all variant details because there are many, so I prefer to focus on specific problems and offer practical solutions. In order to follow this article, the reader should already know the basics of LAT EX and should already have read a guide [ 1 2 7 12 2125

1 The document class
Thebookclass is the most suitable to write a thesis. The author has freedom to choose the following class options: -font size (10pt),1 -paper size (typicallya4paperorletterpaper), -if having the text on both sides of the page (twoside) or only on the front (oneside), -if placing the chapter titles only on right pages (openright) or any (openany). Thebookclass has some advantages over thereportclass since it defines three commands (\frontmatter,\mainmatter, and\backmatter)2that control the page number and chapter numbering formats. In thefrontmatter, pages are numbered with lower case Roman numbers (i, ii, iii, etc.) and the chapters are not numbered (as if the asterisk version\chapter*{}was used). In themainmatter, pages are numbered with Arabic numbers (the numbers start from 1) and the chapters are numbered with Arabic numbers as well. In thebackmatter, the pages are numbered as in the mainmatter (numbering continues) but the chapters are not numbered.Thetwosideoption is recommended because:
-it halves the waste of paper,3-it allows for different headers for left and right pages,1. For good readability on A4 and letter paper it is advisable to use a base font size of 11 pt.
2. Information on how to use these commands is reported in sec.
33. Unfortunately most students try to use every typographic trick to increase the number of
pages of their thesis (widening the margins, increasing the font size, increasing the line spacing, adding a lot of figures, printing on one side only, etc.). Beside the fact that the quality of the content is far more important than the quantity, these tricks usually produce an ugly layout. The advice is to focus on the content and leave the typographic job to LATEX (which is, by the way,
pretty good at it). 3 -it produces the same layout as most books. For example, the following command formats the thesis on both faces of letter paper, with an 11 pt base font size, with chapter titles always on the right hand page:\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper ,twoside ,openright]{book} Thememoirclass is a good alternative since it is very flexible and customizable (headers and footers, chapter titles, footnotes, table of contents, other lists, etc.).2 Organizing the files
Managing a complex document, such as a book or a thesis, can be complicated and so it is advisable to divide it into several files. LATEX lets you work with
several files, but a main file should control them with\includeor\inputcom- mands. On the one hand, the\input{filename}command can be used to call a file. It can even be nested so that an\inputed file can\inputfiles of its own. On the other hand, the\include{filename}command defines the com- mand\includeonlywith features to compile just some of the files that are called throughout the document,\includeonly{filename1,filename2,...}. When us- ing\includeonly{filename1,filename2,...}, LATEX compiles just the files that
are between the curly braces and does not update the counters (i.e. page numbers, footnote numbers, etc.) making the process faster.3 Sections of the thesis
The structure of a thesis is broadly discussed in specific books and especially by specific ISO rules that discuss the presentation of technical reports [ 15 ]. This section proposes a possible structure and analyzes the problems that arise for each section. 4A thesis can have the following structure:
4 -Title page -Dedication* -Abstract* -Acknowledgements* -Table of contents and other lists -Table of symbols and notation* -Preface*9 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>;frontmatter -Inner chapters -Appendices*9 mainmatter -Bibliography -List of acronyms* -Index*9 >;backmatter3.1 Title page
Since the thesis layout and contents are usually defined by university require- ments, the title page often needs to be createdad hoc. The title page is often formed by two pages; the first one reports just the name of the candidate and the second one also that of the advisors, the department chair and their signatures.The standard LAT
EX commands [4,7 ,8 ,10 ,16 -18,21 ] should be sufficient to create these pages. Some hints on how to set the code are available on the Web.54. The symbol * indicates optional sections and
indicates sections that should not be in the table of contents. 5 (a)(b)Figure 1:Example of title page.
In order to place the university coat of arms in the page background as in Fig. 1a , theeso-picpackage and the following command can be added to the preamble\newcommand\AlCentroPagina[1]{% \AddToShipoutPicture*{\AtPageCenter{% \makebox(0,0){\includegraphics% [width=0.9\paperwidth]{#1}}}}} and then use it as\AlCentroPagina{seal_name}The dots on which to place the signature (Fig.
1b ) can be obtained with the \dotfillcommand. Thetitlingpackage allows one to modify the behavior of 6 the\maketitlecommand. However, the thesis title page is usually so different from that produced by the standard LATEX classes that it is easier to redefine it
from scratch.3.2 Dedication
The dedication, when present, can have many different formats depending on the author"s taste. Usually (Fig. 2 ) it is just a line aligned to the right which can be obtained with\begin{flushright} \end{flushright} The vertical position of the dedication can be arbitrary. An easy way to control it is with a couple of\vspace{\stretch{...}}commands which let the user decide the ratio between the space preceding and the one following the line. For example, in order to set the space following the dedication twice as wide as that preceding, it is possible to use the command\null\vspace{\stretch{1}} \vspace{\stretch{2}}\null3.3 Abstract
The abstract is generated by the environment\begin{abstract} \end{abstract} which is available for thearticleandreportclasses. When using thebookclass it is necessary to define the abstract in the preamble (the code that follows is thedefinition used by thereportclass).66. Instructions on how to use thefancyhdrpackage can be found in sec.6.3.1 .
7 Figure 2:Example of dedication.\usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagestyle{empty} \newenvironment{abstract}% {\cleardoublepage\null \vfill\begin{center}% \bfseries \abstractname \end{center}}% {\vfill\null} Sometimes it is useful to have the abstract written in two languages. Thebabel package can be used to select the correct name of the abstract and the hyphen- ation. If, for example, you need to write the abstract both in Italian and in English, you need to load thebabelin the preamble with\usepackage[english ,italian]{babel} 8 and then use the following commands in the text: \selectlanguage{italian}% \begin{abstract} ... versione del sommario in italiano ... \end{abstract} \selectlanguage{english}% \begin{abstract} ... English version of the abstract ... \end{abstract} \selectlanguage{italian}%The result is reported in Fig.
33.4 Table of contents and other lists
The table of contents and the other lists usually come right after the abstract in the following order: -table of contents -list of figures -list of tables -other listsThese are automatically created with LAT
EX using the commands:\tableofcontents
\listoffigures \listoftables Thefloatpackage, with the\newfloatand\listofcommands, can be used to create lists of custom floating objects (e.g. programs, algorithms, etc.). Thetocloft package can be used to modify their layout. 9 (a)(b)Figure 3:Example of abstract in two languages.
3.5 Table of symbols and notation
It is sometimes useful to give the reader a table with the symbols and the notation used in the thesis (Fig. 4 ). Thenomenclpackage automatically generates such a list with theMakeIndexprogram. It is otherwise possible to manually create the table with thetabularenvironment.3.6 Appendices
The appendices are normal chapters whose numbering is with the Roman al- phabet letters. They can be created just by using the\chapter{...}command 10Figure 4:Example of a list of symbols.
preceded by\appendix7as in the following example:... \mainmatter \include{chapter1} \include{chapter2} \include{chapter3} \appendix \include{appendix1} \include{appendix2}3.7 Index
The index can be automatically created with themakeidxpackage and theMakeIn- dexprogram. The\makeindexcommand must be in the preamble. In order to bal-ance the columns of the last page of the index, it can be inserted into amulticols7.\appendixmust be used only once even if there are multiple appendices.
11 environment8redefining thetheindexenvironment with the following code\let\orgtheindex\theindex
\let\orgendtheindex\endtheindex \def\theindex{% \def\twocolumn{\begin{multicols}{2}}% \def\onecolumn{}% \clearpage \orgtheindex \def\endtheindex{% \end{multicols}% \orgendtheindex3.8 Bibliography
The bibliography, like the index, can be automatically generated by LATEX. It can
be created with thethebibliographyenvironment, but it is far better to use BibTEX, a program that lets you separate the content of the bibliography (stored in.bib databases) and the style (defined by.bstfiles). The.bibfiles are just text files that can be created with any text editor but it is advisable to use bibliography dedicated editors. JabRef9is one of the best bibliography managers and, being
based on Java VM, it is available for all platforms (Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X). Thenatbibpackage is a very useful and flexible tool to format both the bibliog- raphy and the references in text and it is thoroughly described in its guide. Every LAT EX distribution and thenatbibpackage offer several bibliography styles; it is, however, possible to create a custom style. The user just needs to compile the makebst.texfile and interactively answer the questions. This process creates a .dbjfile that just needs to be compiled with LAT EX to produce the.bststyle. The8. This environment requires themulticolpackage.9.http://jabref.sourceforge.net/
12 \url{}command provided by theurlpackage automatically breaks long URLs over several lines. The bibliography can be added to the table of contents with the\addcontentslinecommand. The following code typesets the references with the plain style, adds the bibli- ography to the table of contents (for a thesis the bibliography section is a chapter), and loads theThesisBib.bibdatabase. The name of the bibliography section is added to table of contents with the\bibnamecommand in order to let it be de- pendent on the language used.10\cleardoublepage

4.1 Figures
Figures are one of the most popular subject for LATEX guides. There are even
guides and books [ 3 9 23] completely dedicated to this subject. The reader should refer to them for the details. LAT EX users are usually faced with two kinds of problems regarding the fig- ures. The first kind has its origin in the figure file itself and will be discussed in sec. 4.1.1 , the second kind regards their placement and will be discussed in sec. 4.3 .10.\bibnamebecomes "Bibliography" with theenglishoption, "Bibliografia" with theitalian option. 13
