Project structure

Most tex files can be compiled on their own. Subfiles use the Latex-subfiles package. use make clean to remove everything but PDF files and make distclean to clean up the directory and remove everything but the tex files themselves.

bachelor_thesis.tex is the main tex file.

All chapter subfiles can be separately rendered, bibliography and such will be appended in such case. If you render chapter files, make sure there exists a soft link to the bibliography.bib file in the content/ directory for Latex to use.

When creating a new subfile, make sure to include this block at the end:

% Render bibliograhy and acronyms if rendered standalone
\isstandalone
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{bibliography}
\subfile{abbreviations.tex}
\fi

This will append the bibliography and abbreviations list at the end of the chapter document if rendered as a standalone PDF file. \issatndalone is a self defined switch and not part of the subfiles package! See the main file for the defines. If not appended, Latex will warn about undefined abbreviations and literature references. Make sure to run bibtex chapter_name.aux after a make distclean when compiling!

Building the thesis

Execute the build-class.sh script to build the required Latex class files. After that call PDFLatex in your favorite Latex editor to build bachelor_thesis.tex. This project was set up for using SublimeText 3 employing the LaTeXTools plugin.
