A simple LaTeX template for CUHK thesis based on CUHK format guide.

Main features

Support English and Chinese fonts for Linux, MacOS, Windows, and other platforms.
Show titles of chapters (odd pages) and sections (even pages) in fancyhead.
Support glossaries and nomenclature with automatic compiler latexmk.
Support hyperlinks (url) and cross-reference (backref) for bibliographies.
Fast compiling.

Install

Download or clone this repository.
Install major TeX distributions with XeLaTeX or use Overleaf (recommended).

Usage

Edit the corresponding .tex, .bib files with your favorite editor and compile thesis.tex with latexmk command. Then you will get the demo.

For fast compiling, set draftmode=1 in .latexmkrc, this will skip front-matters and Chinese fonts. For final compiling, convert to draftmode=0 (default).

To clean up auxiliary files, run latexmk -c.

Directory structure

Directory	Description
`add-ons/`	abstract, front matters, and appendices
`chapters/`	major separated chapters
`figures/`	the suggested folder for inserted figures
`tables/`	the suggested folder for inserted tables
`settings/`	for settings and commands

Settings and commands

The fontsets are automatically selected in settings/fonts.tex for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and other systems.
You can change the formats and styles of the thesis by adjusting the settings in settings/settings.tex, e.g., change backref to false.
The commands for fast-typing are stored in settings/usrcmds.tex. Users can define their own commands in this file.
Usually we don't have to modify settings/cmds.tex since it only contains commands for outputting standard pages.
