This is a LaTeX template that can be used for reports and theses. An example PDF file can be found here.

Structure

The template depends on the following files.

• appendix.tex - The appendix.
• bilbiography.bib - The bibliography.
• content.tex - The content file contains all chapters of your work.
• report.tex - The main file of this template. Nearly all settings can be changed here (including information displayed on the title page etc.).
• makefile - The makefile for compiling the code.

How to Use The Template

To compile the template to a PDF file, you can use the makefile in this repository.
