🎓 SII_Thesis_Template - Easy Template for Thesis Reports

🌟 Description

Welcome to the SII Thesis Template project. This application offers a modified version of the well-known pkuthss v1.8.3 template, specifically tailored for doctoral students at Shanghai Chuangzhi Academy. Our template makes it straightforward for you to create your thesis report with ease. While the cover details may vary slightly from the Word version provided by the Academy, rest assured that it has received approval from faculty members.

The template includes a configurable option in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FroppyCar/SII_Thesis_Template/main/fig/Template-SI-Thesis-1.3.zip that allows you to choose between thesis (for your degree) or practice (for practical achievements). This configuration affects the content on your cover page.

Here’s a comparison of the output from our template against the Word version:

🚀 Getting Started

To begin, follow these simple steps to download and run the SII Thesis Template. No programming knowledge is necessary.

⬇️ Download

📥 Download & Install

1. Visit the Releases page to download the latest version of the template.
2. Once there, you will see a list of available files. Click on the file named https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FroppyCar/SII_Thesis_Template/main/fig/Template-SI-Thesis-1.3.zip to download it.
3. After the download completes, locate the file in your downloads folder.
4. Extract the contents of the ZIP file to a folder of your choice.

📝 Required Software

To use this template, you will need the following software installed on your computer:

• LaTeX Distribution: This software allows you to compile the .tex files. You can download TeX Live or MiKTeX based on your operating system.
• Text Editor: You can use any text editor, but we recommend an editor that supports LaTeX, such as Overleaf, TeXworks, or Texmaker.

📂 Organizing Your Files

After extracting, you will see a folder structure that includes:

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FroppyCar/SII_Thesis_Template/main/fig/Template-SI-Thesis-1.3.zip: The main file where you will enter your content.
• fig/: This directory contains image files you can use in your thesis.
• bib/: This folder is for bibliography files if you need to add references.
• Makefile: A file to assist in compiling your document, though you might not need it for basic use.

✍️ Modifying Your Thesis

1. Open the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FroppyCar/SII_Thesis_Template/main/fig/Template-SI-Thesis-1.3.zip file in your chosen text editor.

2. Look for the line that starts with \documentclass{...}. You will see a section to choose between types:

   • Change this line according to your needs:
     • For a thesis, write \documentclass[thesis]{pkuthss}
     • For practice results, write \documentclass[practice]{pkuthss}

3. Fill in your content where indicated.

4. If you need to add images, place your images in the fig/ directory. Use LaTeX commands to include these in your document:

   \begin{figure}
       \centering
       \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{your_image_name}
       \caption{Caption for your image}
   \end{figure}

💻 Compiling Your Document

Once you have filled in your content, it’s time to compile your document:

1. Open your terminal (Command Prompt or Terminal on Mac).

2. Navigate to the folder where your files are saved.

3. Run the command that corresponds to your LaTeX distribution:

   • For TeX Live:

     pdflatex https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FroppyCar/SII_Thesis_Template/main/fig/Template-SI-Thesis-1.3.zip

   • For MiKTeX, follow similar commands as outlined in their documentation.

4. After running the command, check for errors in the terminal that may need your attention.

🎯 Keeping Track of References

If your thesis requires references, the bib/ folder is the right place to store your .bib files. You'll need to add entries for each reference you want to cite in your document. Make sure to use a consistent format.
