Latex-Templates

Containing templates

Currently containing templates, seperated by git branches:

• master - Specialised for seminar papers, task sheets for tutorials or old exams
• thesis - Specialised for Bachelor's or Master's theses

Intoduction

Download the repository using git.

$ git clone https://github.com/fh-trier/latex-templates.git

Decide on a template - currently supported templates. For example master template.

$ git checkout master

Now you can edit the template using an editor. Editors such as Texstudio or Visual Studio Code with Plugin are available.

Compiling the PDF document

There are two ways to compile the PDF document. Since the templates contain all dependencies to the package minted, it is probably easier to use a docker container to compile the document.

To do this, install docker and Make. If you have docker and Make installed run make docker-latexmk to compile the PDF document.

If you don't want to install docker and make you have to install texlive manually - installation instructions.

make commands

clean

Deletes all files that were not checked in using git.

$ make clean

create-hardlink

If the environment variable FSD is set, a hardlink to a directory can be created. FSD stands for Fachschaftsdaten. This is useful, for example, if you want to link the PDF document to another place in the system - for example in the system folder Documents of the operating system.

The path can be adjusted in the file Makefile. There the two variables HARDLINK_PATH and HARDLINK_FILE.

$ make create-hardlink

delete-hardlink

Delete the defined hardlink.

$ make delete-hardlink

docker-latex

Uses a docker container to compile the PDF document with latexmk By default the docker container volkerraschek/docker-latex:latest is used. However, it can also be modified. The Makefile contains the variable IMAGE for this purpose. However, you may have to change the docker command call in docker-latexmk if necessary.

$ make docker-latexmk

docker-pdflatex

Similar to docker-latexmk, but in the container pdflatex is called instead of latexmk.

$ make docker-pdflatex

latexmk

Executes latexmk natively in the system environment.

$ make latexmk

pdflatex

Executes pdflatex natively in the system environment.

$ make pdflatex
