Welcome to the NOVAthesis wiki!

This wiki is open to anyone willing to contribute with suggestions and recommendations to other users of the novathesis package. Please don't be shy and edit at your free will!

Where to go?

• Getting started with LaTeX and the NOVAthesis template

  • Getting Started, if you are a newcomer and you think LaTeX is a type of rubber, spelled in a funny way. 😄
  • Installing LaTeX in your computer.
  • Learning LaTeX
  • Main changes in the latest NOVAthesis template version (v6.x).
  • Upgrading the NOVAthesis template from v4.x or v5.x to v6.x.

• Using the NOVAthesis template to write your thesis / dissertations

  • Troubleshoot, if you are dealing with an annoying error.
  • FAQ, if you have some doubts about this project haunting you (or if you just want to learn a little bit more about it)!
  • Tips & Tricks, answering questions of type “How dow I do X?” that are not in the FAQ.
  • Recommendations for specific Universities/Schools
  • Recommendations for specific Operating Systems
  • Recommendations for specific Research Areas
  • Recommendations for specific Text Editors
  • Checklist for delivering the final document

Warning

Please notice that the NOVAthesis template uses biber (and not bibtex) as the backend bibliography processor.

• If you use latexmk in the terminal, it will just work.
• If you compile your LaTeX source within a Text Editor (e.g., TexStudio, TextMaker, etc) you must open the Editor Preferences and change something somewhere (depends on the Editor) to use biber instead of bibtex. Even better if you can make it work with latexmk. Follow the recommendations for specific Text Editors.
