Prerequistes

To efficiently develop a Master Thesis you need:

1. LaTeX - Latex compiler
2. Texmaker - Latex IDE
3. JabRef - bibliography GUI editor

Basics

The project is split into many small thematic files called Pages. For example: titlePage, introductionPage or eventsPage. The project has the main file called main.tex, which defines the configuration of the document. It also imports every Page, so you have to rember: When you create a new Page don't forget to import it in the main file!

Bibliography source file is bib/bibliography.bib. You can open it using JabRef or just edit it by hand. It's only a text file.

Problems

In Texmaker by default you can only compile the document when you have the file with document configuration opened. In our case it's main.tex. So when you edit your Page and you want to compile to see how it looks you would have to close the page and then compile it.

To fix this issue:

1. Go to Texmaker
2. Click Options
3. Click Define current document as 'Master Document' while having main.tex opened.

Now you can hit F1 and the document will compile successfully on whatever the page you are. Keep in mind you have to do it every time you open the Texmaker.

Texmaker by default doesn't compile bibliography by itself.

To fix this issue:

1. Go to Texmaker
2. Click Options
3. Click Configure Texmaker
4. Head to Quick Build on the left
5. Check PdfLaTeX + Bib(la)tex + pdfLaTeX (x2) + View Pdf
6. Click OK

Now when you hit F1 Texmaker will also compile your bibliography

The pdf view on the right sometimes does not reflect the changes after compilation, for example:

• when you add a new image and it doesn't appear in the Spis rysunków
• when you add a new translation and it doesn't appear anywhere in the document
• or anything else

To fix this issue:

Compile (F1) the documnet a couple of times. The issue should be gone.

If it doesn't work only God can help you.

Tips

• \include{texParts/statementPage} - creates a new page and puts a Page on it
• \input{texParts/examplePage} - doesn't create a new page and puts a Page right after ther previous text finished
• \clearpage - makes a new page
