Introduction

Quick code references and guidelines for your master or PhD dissertations in LaTex.

Sources organization

Split your work in a tree-like structure and use the \input{} statement to include sources in your main .tex file (e.g. thesis.tex)

\begin{document}

\input{frontpages.tex}
\input{abstract.tex}
\tableofcontents
\listoftables
\listoffigures
\input{chapter1.tex}
\input{chapter2.tex}
...
...
\input{conclusions.tex}
\input{appendixA.tex}
\input{appendixB.tex}
...
\input{references.tex}
\input{glossary.tex}
\input{acknowledgements.tex}

Table of contents

A table of contents is automatically generated by LaTex with a \tableofcontents statement.

\tableofcontents

Backmatter

Appendices, glossary and references close the thesis.

Appendices

Appendices are created with the \appendix command and work as any LaTex chapters, with the possibility of using sections, subsections etc.

\appendix
% Appendix A
\chapter{Appendix A title}  
\section{...}
...
...
\section{...}
...
...
% Appendix B
\chapter{Appendix B title}
...
...

Any new \chapter{} statement will result in a new appendix with a default ordering A, B, C etc.
