Thesis template

This is a LaTeX template intended for academic theses, and was put together by Jabir Ali Ouassou while preparing his PhD dissertation. The template itself is released under a Creative Commons Attribution licence CC BY 4.0. This basically means that you are free to use the template for any purpose as long as you give appropriate credit.

The template bundles the Libertinus fonts, which is used for all regular text and mathematics, and the URW Classico fonts, which are used for chapter and section headings. The former is available under the Open Font Licence (SIL OFL 1.1), and is free for both private and commercial use. The latter is available under the Aladdin Free Public Licence (AFPL), and is only free for non-commercial use. For commercial use, a suitable replacement for URW Classico would be the Libertinus Sans fonts, which are also bundled. Note that this template relies on LuaLaTeX for e.g. font customization, and on BibTeX for reference handling. For command-line users, the easiest way to compile the document is to run latexmk -lualatex thesis.tex. If using an IDE, please check the program settings for how to enable compilation with LuaLaTeX and BibTeX. The template is based on the KOMA-Script book class (scrbook), so for further customization of the template, please check out their documentation.

The template does not include a title page. This is because the style requirements typically varies between universities, and many institutions will anyway autogenerate a titlepage upon thesis submission.
