Elysium_Book_Template

This is the LaTeX book template I have "created"---more like assembled XDD---for my graduation project documentation. This repository's purpose is to keep it in a functional state and to make it easier for myself to reuse it cuz I will probably forgot how I made it XDD.

Chapter Commands Example (As I Prefer to Write Them)

  1. Code snippets can be shown with syntax highlighting for the following languages: MATLAB CodeStyleMatlab, C CodeStyleC, C++ CodeStyleCpp, Python CodeStylePython, Bash CodeStyleBash, JSON CodeStyleJSON, Javascript CodeStyleJavaScript, PHP CodeStylePHP, XML CodeStylePHP. The command below is used to show a code snippet. Make sure to put the correct code style instead of the field CODE_STYLE and write the code snippet location correctly.

    \lstinputlisting[style=CODE_STYLE, caption=DESIRED_CAPTION label=cd:label, firstline=21, lastline=69]{./CodeSnippets/example.h}

  2. Hyperlinks are added using the following command:

    \href{https://dudetrustme.org}{\color{blue2}CLICK HERE}.

  3. Photos are added using this command. Make sure to write the photo/figure location correctly. Size can be freely adjusted using scale field.

    \begin{figure}[h!]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{./Figures/HW/powerDiagram-drawio.png}
    \caption{The Block Diagram for Power Management.}
    \label{fig:hw-power-blk1}
\end{figure}

Back Matter

Bibliography

  1. Add your references in bibTeX form to the file References.bib.
  2. Cite your added references using \cite{ref-nickname}.
  3. VIMP: Make sure to NOT use an underscore in any of the labels/commands cuz it makes LaTeX go nuts.

Appendices

  1. They can be found in 03-BackMatter.

Colophon

  1. Can be found in 03-BackMatter/Colophon.tex.
  2. It can be either a publisher info or a meme as I wrote.
