In this video series we're going to show you how to create a thesis using LaTeX. In this first video we look at getting the basic document structure right. To see our corresponding blog post click here: www.sharelatex.com/blog/2013/...
I've been trying to use other people's dissertation templates for a while now, but never with much success. Thanks to these tutorials I managed to make my own very quickly. Thanks!
Excellent!! I am half way through my thesis and was using a single .tex file, so it started to look quite messy. Thanks for such simple explanation. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so very much!!!!!! You've made it short and included the most important and basic structure of a thesis in just 5 minutes and its easily extendable. luv u
Could you explain the /newcommand command in particular? I stumbled upon it while trying to figure out how to change the section numbering to Roman numerals (still haven't quite figured that part out, yet, either!) Great videos! Thank you, so much! FK
thanks for he tutorial. can you please tell me the syntax to change the font size of a single line, for example i want 26 font size for the title and 12 for the author. how can i do it?
Hi! Thank you for the tutorial! Quick question: What is the benefit of having separate .tex files for the chapters instead of just writing them in the main.tex file?
+Orbicalaz I realise you either know by now, or no longer care, but I use, enewcommand{\thepage}{ oman{page}} % starting on the first page on which I want to have roman numerals. % then I use enewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}} % to return the count back to arabic numbers \setcounter{page}{1} % this line returns the counter to 1 Hope this helps.
4:49 how do i change the 'Chapter 2' into something different? i want to write document in different language and i don't want it to show english words
Hey amazing series, you saved my day as I am wirting my bachelor thesis now :P I have one question though - How do I remove the extra title "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc over each chapter title? I think it is quite unnecessary and takes too much space, isn´t it?
Hi I am trying to acces my folders under structure, but I can not do what you are doing in the video. I am unsing a mac and Iam running TextMaker. THanks!
how do I add another Appendix B? \appendix \chapter{Appendix Title a} \input{chapters/appendix} \chapter{Appendix Title b} \input{chapters/appendixb} ??? urgent! thanks
Don't use LaTeX. It is notoriously hard to compile, so you will often have this kind of errors. You may consider using TeXmacs if you need maths or a clean document structure.
Arabic is supported, but unfortunately not as well as in the middle-eastern edition of Adobe CC (which uses the incomparable Decotype Tasmeem system by Thomas Milo). Traditional Arabic writing styles such as Naskh or Ruq`ah are difficult to typeset, because many letters change their shape slightly in combination with other letters.
This tutorial didn't help me in any way. You claimed this information is applicable to other LaTeX processors, and yet there's no folder option in any of them except the specific one you're using.
