swathesis

A LaTeX class for writing theses at the Hasso-Plattner-Institut, University of Potsdam, Germany. It has often been used at the Software Architecture Group.

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.

• The HPITR class
