Having an SVG file in the path 1_introduction as follow:

$ tree
.
├── figures
│   ├── jpg
│   │   └── largepotato.jpg
│   └── svg
│       └── largepotato.svg
└── introduction.tex

and calling the SVG file as

\begin{figure}[htb]
  \centering
  %\includegraphics[width=1\columnwidth]{jpg/largepotato}
  \includegraphics[width=1\columnwidth]{svg/largepotato}
  \caption[A common glucose polymers]{\textbf{A common glucose polymers} - The figure shows starch granules in potato cells, taken from

Makefile produce an error:

$ make
NOTE: You may ignore warnings about the following files:

     thesis.d

Makefile:2824: thesis.d: No such file or directory
= thesis.tex --> thesis.d thesis.pdf.1st.make (0-1) =
make: *** No rule to make target 'svg/largepotato', needed by 'thesis.d'. Stop.

and partial output of thesis.d

269 .SECONDEXPANSION:
270 # MISSING stem "svg/largepotato" - allowed extensions are ".tikz,.TIKZ,.TikZ,.pgf,.PGF,.png,.jpg,.jpeg,.pdf,.gif,.eps" - leave comment here - it affects the build
271 -include svg/largepotato.gpi.d

I am wondering if I am missing some configuration parameter in the Makefile, which indeed has the following rule:

# Converts svg files into .eps files
#
# $(call convert-svg,<svg file>,<eps/pdf file>,[gray])
convert-svg	= $(INKSCAPE) --without-gui $(if $(filter %.pdf,$2),--export-pdf,--export-eps)='$2' '$1'

Thanks for your help and time!

Hallo,

Mir wurde gesagt, dass in meiner Dissertation auf der zweiten Seite im Dokument die folgende Pflichtangabe fehlt: 'Jahr der Veröffentlichung der Dissertation auf TUprints: 2024'. Wie kann ich das hinzufügen? Gibt es dafür irgendwo eine Einstellung?

Danke

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the great template. I would like to add an extra title page to each chapter but have not been able to figure out how to do it. Let's take the introduction as an example. On its title page, I would like to have the chapter number (1) repeated but not the title (Introduction) and instead insert a picture. The back of this page will be empty and then the real introduction starts with the chapter number and title and content etc. I tried to make separate chapters using \cfchapters for the title pages, but then the Introduction is numbered 2 logically. Can you help me out how to go about it?

Thanks a lot,
Loeka

Can we use the build instructions from the CUED repository (kks32) for building this using latexmk?

Hi, thanks for the amazing work first of all! That made things a lot easier :)

I wanted to ask if it's possible somehow to get a mini TOC in the beginning of every chapter. titlesec and minitoc are incompatible, so I cannot use the latter. If found an example online to use titletoc but the mini TOC won't show up if I put those things in the preamble.

Any help would be appreciated!

Current mode of the template shortens the authors in the bibliography by using et al in case of more than 3 authors (e.g. First author et al.). I tried couple of change in the parameters in preamble and did not work out. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot for providing this template.

I have a small issue regarding the abbreviations. I create an abbreviation like this in glossary.tex file:

\newglossaryentry{NLP}{
name={NLP},
description={Natural Language Processing},
type=abbreviations
}

And try to add it to one of my chapter with \gls{NLP}, but it doesn't work. I see this message on the abbreviation page:

"This document is incomplete. The external file associated with the glossary ‘abbreviations’ (which should be called output.gls-abr) hasn’t been created. Check the contents of the file output.glo-abr. If it’s empty, that means you haven’t indexed any of your entries in this glossary (using commands like \gls or \glsadd) so this list can’t be generated. If the file isn’t empty, the document build process hasn’t been completed.

You may need to rerun LATEX. If you already have, it may be that TEX’s shell escape doesn’t allow you to run makeindex. Check the transcript file output.log. If the shell escape is disabled, try one of the following:
• Run the external (Lua) application: makeglossaries-lite "output"
• Run the external (Perl) application: makeglossaries "output"

Then rerun LATEX on this document. This message will be removed once the problem has been fixed."

I use Overleaf for the creating latex file and I couldn't see any file named "output.gls-abr". Does someona have the same problem and maybe help me with it?

Thanks a lot.

When compiling with overleaf, the metadata is not written in the resulting PDF/A.

Solution: rename the file thesis.xmpdata to output.xmpdata

Hi!

Great job with the template. There are a couple of issues I cannot sort out. Could you help?

1. Even with biblatex & maxbibnames set to 99, the maximum number of authors in a reference in the bibliography is 20. The 19th and 20th author are separated by 3 dots.

2. The page numbers (in roman numerals) for the front matter only appear on the last page of a section (i.e. a 2-page abstract) or not at all in the case of a dedication page.

Thanks!

Mike

Good day,

Referring to the above subject. I have tried to change the citation style to authoryear in the Premeable all to no avail using the template.

Nay urgent help will be highly appreciated.

Somehow, I guess due to a broken build or abrupt build the biber cache can be corrupted. This results in a failing reference build with no references found at all.

There is no error message but the bbl file stays empty. The solution after a lot debugging, reinstalling of the entire latex distribution, is quiet simple:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/140814/biblatex-biber-fails-with-a-strange-error-about-missing-recode-data-xml-file

One has to delete the biber cache.

The footnotes jump to title page when clicking on them. I have tried every possible solution along with hyperref on the last or changing the order of packages. Please fix it or any suggestion
