Bachelor and Master Theses¶

A TUD LaTeX template can be used to convert your theses markdown files into a PDF format. The template provides a ready-made structure, customisable settings, and optional elements like a cover image or logo.

The template can be used by adding the template to the export section in the myst.yml:

downloads:
    - id: output-pdf

exports:
    - format: pdf 
        output: exports/output_file.pdf
        template: { - TODO: replace with published link - }
        id: output-pdf

After adding the template, you can build a PDF file using the --pdf flag:

jupyter book build --pdf

Additional options can be used to customise the output. A full example of an export.yml file can be found here.
