| Learning LaTeX,
a software with powerful typesetting capabilities, is no more difficult
than mastering a word processing software with an equation editor.
LaTeX can number and remember equations, figures and tables automatically,
insert numbers in the body of thesis, automate the labeling of references
and insertion of these labels in the text. It can also modify font
size and type according to your instructions and generate tables of
content, nomenclature and indexes.
The purpose of this document; titled “Your thesis with
LaTeX in 6 steps” is to introduce LaTeX, and outline
the steps that lead to a printed document conforming to IIT
thesis style, while providing tips on the use of various LaTeX
commands. Introductory information about the software, its
installation and its basic layouts and commands will be presented
first. Then the style file (iitthesis.cls)
containing the thesis format required by IIT, plus a sample
thesis file (sample.tex)
and some help files on tables, figures and bibliography are
introduced.
Using the iitthesis.cls
style file in your thesis project file, you just need to follow
the format and instructions available in help files - and
review the sample file if necessary - to successfully create
your thesis in LaTeX. |
