Thanks for this,

Some quick questions:
What are the main differences between this and the ECS thesis?

Also can you change the command names so that this can be a drop in replacement for the ECS thesis template? Currently you have to make a few adjustments to make it compile.

Thanks

HI there,

I am also a PhD student in Southampton and I am using your template to write my thesis now. It is a very good tool. But I was just wondering how did you set different margins for even and odd pages? I saw the following command in your phdclass.cls file,

\setmarginsrb { 1.5in} % left margin { 0.6in} % top margin { 1.0in} % right margin { 0.8in} % bottom margin { 20pt} % head height {0.25in} % head sep { 9pt} % foot height { 0.3in} % foot sep

I guess this is how margins are set, but how does the document figure out how to apply them in odd and even pages?

I want to ask this because I am trying add a PDF document as an appendix in the end of my thesis. I used the pdfpages package and added the PDF file using

\includepdf[pages=-]{file.pdf}

But the layout of this PDF file in my thesis is a mess, see the pic below.

I have searched about this for the pdfpages package, but none of the solutions I found is working. I am thinking if I can solve this by restting the margin values for these pages separately. So do you think this is a good way in solving this?

Cheers,
