SWAThesis

An unofficial LaTeX class for writing theses at the Software Architecture Group, Hasso-Plattner-Institut, University of Potsdam, Germany.

This package consists of

• The swathesis class
• Supporting style files
• The swth script for managing swathesis directories

Usage

Simply say

swth create

and after a few questions, you are rewarded with a nice thesis template.

You can easily compile and your LaTeX file with

swth go

or care for individual steps with

swth latex
swth bibtex
swth show

A swth managed bachelor’s thesis is meant to be multipart, and so you can add an additional author to it via

swth author

That are the simple cases. swth --help has more information.

Installation

Use the install script like

./install.sh [--help …]

or use

./tdsify.sh

to generate a TDS compatible package for manual installation.

Requirements

swathesis needs

• A current microtype version
• The LNCS class LaTeX2e class
• The titlepage package by Markus Kohm (although still alpha)
• A current fontaxes package for microtype
• A current ctable package
• A current acronyms package

The get_requirements.sh script installs these automatically, if needed.
