Hi,

I have some troubles with compiling the TUDaThesis file on Linux. The .zip file is extracted to every folder possible in /usr/share/...
The error comes from tudapub.cls file which is contained in texmf/tex (or Tex?)/latex/tuda-ci

Errortext:
"File 'URspecialopts.sty' not found. \Define@specialopt@Module"

Works perfectly on Windows 10.
Thanks for your help.

The Example PhD thesis and Example bachelor's thesis links on the CTAN page are swapped and link to the wrong documents.

https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tuda-ci

One of my reviewers made me aware that the title page contains D 17 which according to this marks it as a PhD thesis which it is not.
I'm not sure if D 17 should be written on the title page for anything other than a PhD thesis.
If not, any quick fixes, how it can be removed?

It's also in the example thesis but for reference my document class setup:

\documentclass[
	english,
	fontsize=12pt,
	ruledheaders=section,
	class=report,
	thesis={type=master},
	accentcolor=1b,
	marginpar=false,
	parskip=half-,
	colorback,
	twoside]{tudapub}

Heyho,

I got a problem I do not understand.
Using pdftex, the correct roboto fonts are used.
Using lualatex it does not use it.

Any ideas what the reason could be?

Hallo,
in der Datei tuda-ci_ctan_v1.01.zip aus dem Release TUDa-CI Version 1.01 liegt unter /tuda-ci/tex/ die Datei tuda_logo.pdf.

Passt das mit "Die verwendeten Logos sind nicht Bestandteil dieses Bundles und können von Mitgliedern der TU Darmstadt über das interne Netzwerk heruntergeladen werden." zusammen?

There seems to be an issue with the encoding of the German ß in the different fonts used. For example in the affidavit headline it is set correctly while it falls back to SS in the actual declaration (as shown in the picture). I am not sure if I miss a package or a font but I use mathdesign with option charter as suggested in another issue and babel as well as csquotes and microtype. A quickfix is writing \ss instead of ß, which worked if the modified tudathesis.cfg is in the same directory as the tex-file. However, it is inconvenient if everyone has to to that.

In the beamer version, the math fonts use serifs and are too small. I recommend to change the math font to some font similar to helvetica.

I am not sure whether the same problem appears in the other classes.

Ich würde gerne einen kleinen (A4), zweiseitigen Aushang mit der Klasse tudaposter machen. Dabei machen mir momentan zwei Dinge Probleme:

1. Ich würde gerne den qrcode loswerden. Gibt es eine Option dafür?
2. Die Balken an Kopf und Fuß der Seiten werden offenbar nur auf der ersten Seite erzeugt. Kann man diese auf den nächsten Seiten auch auftauchen lassen?
   Die Klasse tudapub kommt leider nicht infrage, da sie ein ganzseitiges Titelblatt erzwingt und die anderen scheinen mir wie ein Overkill für mein Anliegen.

It would be helpful, if not only the predefined types of theses were available, but also:

• Projektseminar
• Proseminar (at least needed for B.Sc. ETIT)
• Seminararbeit (may be needed at human sciences departments)
• report, for reports of (industry-)projects and the like called "Bericht" or "Projektbericht"
• a user selectable type of thesis, if the predefined descriptions do not fit well

At IAT we already have something similar for the FKP templates (https://git.rtm.e-technik.tu-darmstadt.de/public-reps/thesis_template_latex). Feel free to take anything that seems helpful from there, although it is not expl3 syntax.

DEMO-TUDaThesis.pdf tells me i can use a classoption department=<department shortcut>, and I understand that this will replace \institution in the topmatter (or its deprecated alternative \department), however it seems like only when including \department the document builds.

Document is thesis={type=master} built on archlinux with pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (TeX Live 2019/Arch Linux)

Is it possible to get "uppertitleback" for a Master thesis, while having "twoside = false" and not using "\tuprints{...}"?

Aktuell scheinen die beiden KOMA-Script Optionen headinclude und footinclude nicht berücksichtigt zu werden bzw. automatisch auf true gesetzt.

Zum Beispiel liefert (footinclude=false):

\documentclass[
	ngerman,
	ruledheaders=chapter,% Ebene bis zu der die Überschriften mit Linien abgetrennt werden, vgl. DEMO-TUDaPub
	class=book,% Basisdokumentenklasse. Wählt die Korrespondierende KOMA-Script Klasse
	thesis={
		% Für kleinere Abschlussarbeiten Siehe DEMO-TUDaThesis
		type=dr,
		dr=rernat
	},
	accentcolor=9c,% Auswahl der Akzentfarbe
	custommargins=true,% Ränder werden mithilfe von typearea automatisch berechnet
	marginpar=false,% Kopfzeile und Fußzeile erstrecken sich nicht über die Randnotizspalte
	%BCOR=5mm,%Bindekorrektur, falls notwendig
	parskip=half-,%Absatzkennzeichnung durch Abstand vgl. KOMA-Sript
	fontsize=11pt,%Basisschriftgröße laut Corporate Design ist mit 9pt häufig zu klein
	headinclude=true,
	footinclude=false,
	logofile=example-image, %Falls die Logo Dateien nicht vorliegen
]{tudapub}

exakt das gleiche Ergebnis wie (footinclude=true):

\documentclass[ \ 
	ngerman,  
	ruledheaders=chapter,% Ebene bis zu der die Überschriften mit Linien abgetrennt werden, vgl. DEMO-TUDaPub  
	class=book,% Basisdokumentenklasse. Wählt die Korrespondierende KOMA-Script Klasse
	thesis={
		% Für kleinere Abschlussarbeiten Siehe DEMO-TUDaThesis
		type=dr,
		dr=rernat
	},
	accentcolor=9c,% Auswahl der Akzentfarbe
	custommargins=true,% Ränder werden mithilfe von typearea automatisch berechnet
	marginpar=false,% Kopfzeile und Fußzeile erstrecken sich nicht über die Randnotizspalte
	%BCOR=5mm,%Bindekorrektur, falls notwendig
	parskip=half-,%Absatzkennzeichnung durch Abstand vgl. KOMA-Sript
	fontsize=11pt,%Basisschriftgröße laut Corporate Design ist mit 9pt häufig zu klein
	headinclude=true,
	**footinclude=true,**
	logofile=example-image, %Falls die Logo Dateien nicht vorliegen
]{tudapub}

Und zwar das in beiden Fällen footinclude als true verarbeitet wird.

Beim Suchen nach einer Ursache bin ich in tudapub.cls auf den folgenden Code gestoßen:

	\KOMAoptions{headinclude, footinclude=false, headwidth=text,footwidth=text}
	\let\TUDa_disable_marginpar:\relax
	\def\TUDa_restore_typearea:{
		\KOMAoptions{headinclude, footinclude=false, headwidth=text,footwidth=text}\recalctypearea
	}

Scheinbar wird hier headinclude und footinclude auf immer auf true gesetzt und anschließend der Satzspiegel neu berechnet, wodurch alle in der Klasse übergebenen Optionen überschrieben werden. Dies kann man auch im log sehen, da typearea zwei mal mit unterschiedlichen Werten ausgeführt wird.

Ist es gewollt, dass der user keine Möglichkeit hat Einfluss auf headinclude und footinclude zu nehmen oder handelt es sich hierbei um einen bug?

I'd like to add the current top-level heading to the footer, opposite to the page number. As I understand the komascript guide p.86ff this is called "running headline" and enabled by \pagestyle{headings}, which does nothing for my document (a thesis={type=master} with class=report, if that matters).
Using \pagestyle{TUDa.headings}, instead, removes the colored "accent bars" from the pages, but still doesn't add the chapter titles.

In the old Latex template of TuDThesis, empty pages (e.g. empty page before a new chapter) still had the colored bars and page number etc. on them. Is it possible to add these? It looked much nicer compared to a completely empty page as it is the case now.

I specify \author{My Name} on a thesis and get on my title page

Master thesis in Computer Science by
Datum: July 25, 2019, Date of submission: July 25, 2019

i.e. my name is missing. DEMO-TUDaThesis.pdf doesn't have that problem and specifies the optional signature in \author. Adding \Metadata like that document doesn't help, so I suspect the missing signature is the culprit.

An additional english translation of the affidavit, which could be toggled on and off e.g. by using a parameter, would be nice. A translation can be found here

In code:

\paragraph{English translation for information purposes only:}
\vspace{1cm}

\paragraph{Thesis Statement pursuant to § 22 paragraph 7 and § 23 paragraph 7 of APB TU Darmstadt}
I herewith formally declare that I, \textbf{\textcolor{red}{Forename Surname}}, have written the submitted thesis independently pursuant to § 22 paragraph 7 of APB TU Darmstadt. I did not use any outside support except for the quoted literature and other sources mentioned in the paper. I clearly marked and separately listed all of the literature and all of the other sources which I employed when producing this academic work, either literally or in content. This thesis has not been handed in or published before in the same or similar form.
I am aware, that in case of an attempt at deception based on plagiarism (§38 Abs. 2 APB), the thesis would be graded with 5,0 and counted as one failed examination attempt. The thesis may only be repeated once.
In the submitted thesis the written copies and the electronic version for archiving are pursuant to § 23 paragraph 7 of APB identical in content.

Finally the page could look like this:

Wouldn't it make sense to include the 'detail' information from \author[short]{detail} and \institute[short]{detail} on the titlepage, e.g. below the subtitle? (Maybe in a smaller font size, we a nice formatting for the posters in place if I recall correctly)

I have a question concerning the comparsion of this template with the earlier one by the Benner Boys. They provided a class option colortitleback, coloring the area around/behind the title but forcing the region below the title/left to the institution white. As far as I know, that conforms with the Corporate Design and sometimes looks better than the colored lower part of the first page. If it is possible, the implementation of this option would be nice. If that is already possible but I missed it I am sorry (it is the first time following a GitHub project for me).

P.S. If I did something incorrectly regarding the submission of the issue or anything I would be glad to know.

I am using the tudapub class and the warnings about the imrad labels are a bit distracting:

/shared/apps/texlive/2019/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/loadhyph/loadhyph-de-1996.tex: Package TUDaPub Warning: You did not provide a Label for key introduction.
/shared/apps/texlive/2019/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/loadhyph/loadhyph-de-1996.tex: Package TUDaPub Warning: You did not provide a Label for key methods.
...

I also get warnings, which I am not sure if it is related to tudapub, about scrlayer

I am using silence, but it fails for the imrad label warnings:

\RequirePackage{silence}
\WarningFilter{scrlayer}{change of layer mode could result in unexpected}
\WarningFilter*{TUDaPub}{You~did~not~provide~a~Label~for~key~introduction.}
\documentclass[...]{tudapub}

Can these somehow be suppressed?
(And maybe as a secondary questions, are these required when publishing?)

Quote from pdfx documentation

Not all fonts, in particular Open-Type fonts (OTF), naturally come with mappings of the
glyphs to Unicode code points. This is a requirement with PDF/A, PDF/E and PDF/UA stan-
dards. Use of such fonts can result in validation errors, such as:

Since we face this issue for Roboto fonts, we will enforce Type 1 fonts if pdfa=true and add information on that to the readme as well as the demo files + write the info to the log.

The DEMO-$documentclass.pdf files have the title LaTeX im Corporate Design der TU Darmstadt which makes them badly distinguishable depending on the PDF viewer config.

Thank you very much for the great effort of making this package!

Hello,

I downloaded the files and copied them into my LocalTeX folder where my other LaTeX files are installed. Then I updated the filename database and tried to compile the example file "DEMO-TUDaThesis" to see what it looked like. I got the following error messages "Undefined control sequence. ...g TU Darmstadt's Coporate Desing (TUDa-CI)}" on line 4 of the file tudapub.cls and "File `URspecialopts.sty' not found. \Define@specialopt@Module" on line 9 of the same file. Can you explain me what went wrong?

Thank you

Hello together,
I just installed an update of the graphics bundle via MiKTeX (available since Fr Okt 4 22:11:27 2019).
After the update my document and the DEMO-TUD documents won't compile. Error:
"! Undefined control sequence.
\Ginclude@graphics ...\Ginput@path \set@curr@file
{#1}\edef \uq@curr@file {..."

Does anyone have the same problem? Might be a general problem and not related to the tuda-template.

Edit:
There were more updates, not only graphics:
l3kernel
miktex-misc
tools
xcharter

Edit 2:
Issues is reported and linked to MiKTeX:
MiKTeX/miktex-packaging#131

Edit 3:
Update on 06.10.2019 solved the problem. Issue was related to MiKTeX update.

I am currently trying to convert my thesis, started in the old TU design packages to tuda-ci, but I didn't find any option to add the institution´s logo as the only info box. Is there an easy way to achive this?
Adding the institution logo with \addTitleBoxLogo*{} as documented in the TUDaPub.tex also adds the department and institution as a separate text box what is not my intention.

Hallo,

mir ist eben gerade aufgefallen, dass es bei der Nutzung des Typs sta für Studienarbeiten scheinbar noch einen Fehler gibt:

Wenn man im mitgelieferten Beispiel für Thesis Dokumente den type von bachelor in sta ändert erhält man die folgende Fehlermeldung beim setzen:

! Package TUDapub/thesis Error: You did not provide date data for the title.
(TUDapub/thesis)                Either provide it or change your publication
(TUDapub/thesis)                type.

Hello,

Is it possible to change the font used in the dedication (to a handwritten font)?

I tried varous methods, including: \newenvironment{myfont}{\qzc}{\par} in the declaration and \begin{myfont} Blablabla \end{myfont} where I want to change font locally.

I got the following message

Undefined control sequence. \begin{myfont}

I am wondering if there is not some restrictions encoded in the template due to the corporate design.

Thank you

Hallo,

ich nutze die Latex Vorlage TuDaThesis.
Das mit dem Affidavit wurde schon einmal in einer anderen Issue behandelt, scheint aber noch nicht final geklärt zu sein.
Also noch mal das Problem mit dem nicht korrekt ausgefüllten Affidavit.
Dies ist das Feld zwischen den Kommas in der ersten Zeile die "..." Stelle in "Hiermit versichere ich, ..., die vorliegende". Es ist auch nicht möglich dies über eckige oder geschweifte Klammern zu übergeben.
Dieses Problem ist auch genauso auch in der Beispiel PDF enthalten.

Ansonsten hätte ich noch eine Anmerkung zu der Bibliographie.
Da für diese ja im Dokument das Package BIBLATEX eingebunden wird und dieses anscheinend auf BIBER zurückgreift, muss man beispielsweise bei TexMaker sicher stellen, dass bei der Befehle unter Bib(la)tex auch biber und weder biblatex noch bibtex eingetragen ist, da sonst das Zitieren nicht ordnungsgemäß funktioniert.
Dies könnte vielleicht in die Anleitungen aufgenommen werden um etwaige Unklarheiten zu vermeiden.

Noch ein allgemeiner Hinweise.
Auf der CE Website ist zu Latex eine Kontaktemail ("[email protected]") angegeben.
Als Antwort auf eine E-Mail erhält man vom HRZ Server direkt: [email protected]... Requested action not taken: recipient not allowed by policy

Vielen Dank schon einmal für die Antwort.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
EIKI

Hi,

I have a similar problem as in the issue mentioned in the title. If I use the following code
\pagestyle{TUDa}
\ihead{}
\chead{}
\ohead{}
\ifoot{\headmark}
\cfoot{}
\ofoot{\pagemark}
\automark[section]{chapter}
together with headline=automark I get this result

custommargins is set to false, marginpar also. Setting marginpar to true makes it even worse

Hello,

I need to use the xcolor package to plot figures with tikz. I added the package as follow: \usepackage[cmyk,dvipsnames]{xcolor}, before the \usepackage{tikz} to avoid clashes between the two packages. However, when compiling, I get the following error message:

Option clash for package xcolor.

It refers to the file tudapub.cls on line 29.

Could you explain me how to prevent this crash?

Thank you.

An earlier version from the department "Festkörperphysik" offered the possibility to include a \sponsor on the titly page. This is esspecially useful for external thesises. I hope this option will be included in future Releases.

I am trying to turn off PDF/A because I get this error:
TUDaPub error: "outdated-pdfx" Your Version of the PDFx-package is too old to support all methods required by tudapubs pdfa-mode. Either update your TeX-distribution or switch to pdfa=false. For immediate help type H <return>.

But even trying to turn off PDF/A gives me this error:
Class tudapub Error: You cannot use \Metadata\ with pdfa=false.. }

What is the solution? Do I need to really update my TeX distribution?

What is the best way to replace the old "tudexercise" class for creating exercises and exams?

When compiling the example file DEMO-TUDaThesis.tex, the upper name is missing. Maybe it is related to this issue.

When I compile DEMO-TUDaBeamer.tex, I get overful vbox and hboxes. For example

Overfull \vbox (4.69463pt too high) detected at line 41
Overfull \hbox (20.0pt too wide) has occurred while \output is active

I seems to me that they are produced by the style, not the particular example.

Hello,

Could you tell me which font is used for the PhD thesis template? I would like to use the same font in my figures.
From what I read on this forum, the new official font is Roboto. However, Roboto is a sans-serif font and the font used in the template is with serif. I am not certain it is Charter either.

Thank you

Hi, it's not possible to add a Glossary

how i normally add:

\usepackage[acronym,xindy,toc]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\loadglsentries{pages/glossary.tex}

\begin{document}
.....
\printglossaries
...
\end{document}

Is this problem known? Is there already a solution?

With the new Corporate Design there is also a another problem.
The template for the thesis declares the documentclass as 'tudapub', but it should be 'tudathesis'

\documentclass[
...
]{tudapub}

but if I declare it as 'tudathesis', the file 'tudathesis.cls' is missing

Since I'm writing my thesis in a different department, I think I should write my studyfield in the upper box whereas the department where I'm writing my thesis should be in the right box. Is it possible to do this, I couldn't find a way yet?

Text color of title font of boxes is black, independent of accentcolor selection.

Shows in compilated DEMO file.

Hallo,
die Dokumentation zur Benutzung der einzelnen Optionen ist leider etwas knapp. Was sind die Einstellungsmöglichkeiten zu marginpar? Wie kann ich die Randnotizspalte in tudapub entfernen?

Hello,

I am wondering about two things:

1. Is it possible to bring the top and bottom margin to the values they had in the previous version of the coporate design? The space to write is currently very limited, we lose about half the page in margins and title.
   I tried to comment the line custommargins=true which give me the top and bottom margin that I want, however it remove the "twoside" margins of the book class. Do you know how I could solve this problem?

2. I believe two blank pages are missing in the title.

• The first one between the title page and the page with the copyright: the copyright page is aligned to be on the right hand side of a book which is correct but as the title page is also on the right hand side of the book, there should be a blank page in between.
• The second one between the copyright page and the Erklarung. the Erklarung is currently on the left hand side of the book and I believe it would be much better on the right hand side of the book with a blank page before it. Adding this blank page would make all subsequent chapters starts on the right hand side of the book as it is usually done.

Thank you

If a5 is selected as paper size in the PhD template, the fontsize of the subtitles (title in german, Zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors ...) is too large. Would be nice if this could be edited in the template.

When loading the marvosym package, compilation crashes with

Package: marvosym 2011/07/20 v2.2 Martin Vogel's Symbols font definitions
! LaTeX Error: Command \EUR already defined.
               Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                             
l.154 \newcommand\EUR{\mvchr{164}}

The reason is that the tuda-ci classes load eurosym which already defines \EUR. Is it really neccessary to already load this symbol or shouldn't it be up to the user to deside which symbol to use fo € (the FKP template did not load eurosym and marvosym is more recent)?

A workaround would be to \let\EUR\relax after documentclass.

I can only compile my PhD thesis tex file if I comment out \gdef\dateseparator{:~} in tudapub.cls.
However, this yields to Tag der Einreichung/ instead of Tag der Einreichung: on the title page.

According to the "Corporate Design Handbuch" the font Charter should be used, together with Frontpage and Stafford. Looks like tudafonts.sty loads roboto, and https://www.ce.tu-darmstadt.de/ce/latex_tuda/index.de.jsp states

Die benötigten Fonts sind in den genannten Distributionen direkt verfügbar und können mit den distributionseigenen Tools nachinstalliert werden, so dass hier keine separaten Installationen mehr notwendig sind

Is roboto an officially accepted replacement for Charter (and the others)?

It might make sense to provide some example PDFs with a confirmed working installation to make it easier to check if the fonts are working correctly.

Quite a few seem to have changed including the fonts in the math environment which I'm not sure is correct on my machine since the old one looked a lot cleaner.

Left one is the old template and pdflatex, right one compiled with this template and luatex.

Hi everyone,

I am using the tudapub class and I want to change the size of the margin (black box in picture) because I don't need marginnotes and i want to use the full page to write. Also i am using the twocolumn. I tried to use the geometry package it doesn't work. Any advice how to change the margin ?

Thanks,

Cobe

according to https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/studieren/studierende_tu/studienorganisation_und_tucan/hilfe_und_faq/artikel_details_de_en_26885.de.jsp it is required to include .xmpdata metadata, but it seems like the built pdf does not include those.

Hello,

the corporate design requires captions of images (and schemes) in the font Frontpage. I am writing with the tudapub-template and the font isn't automatically set to frontpage.
Is this a bug or just not a feature?

Thanks

Der Abstand zwischen der Kopfzeile und dem Textkörper ist mit persönlich viel zu groß. Wie kann ich das ändern?
