UStutt LaTeX Templates
This is the nonofficial repository of LaTeX document classes, styles, packages, and templates for documents at the University of Stuttgart. If you are interested in just finding the most recent files you need for writing code, please refer to the releases page:
Note: If you are a student writing your thesis at ISW, please use the newer student template. You can find it on https://github.com/iswunistuttgart/latex_template_students or directly write on Overleaf (account needed).
Requirements
LaTeX Distribution
You need an up-to-date version of a LaTeX distribution on your current operating system. We generally advise against MikTeX, and advise for using TeXlive.
Compiler Engine
As the trend in development of LaTeX related packages and classes is to move away from pdflatex
towards xelatex
or lualatex
, we are not providing support for pdflatex
anymore.
As such, you will need to compile your document using either XeLaTeX
or luaLaTeX
(preferably luaLaTeX
, as the classes are more thoroughly tested against luaLaTeX
).
Additionally, if you want to play it safe, use latexmk
to build your document. Our provided .latexmkrc
files include all the necessary commands to compile everything in the right order. Only requirement is access to a command line with latexmk
on your path. Some LaTeX-IDEs also allow using latexmk
instead of some weird lualatex + makeindex + ... + dvips
combo.
PS: The developers are solely using latexmk
, so support for users using latexmk
will be the best.
Usage
If you download the files from the respective released archives (article, book, or thesis), you have all needed files as well as a template file. Simply open the contained .tex
file and get going.
