# The ITMorelia Thesis Class
This respository is a sample project of a Thesis using the `itmorelia-thesis-class` with LaTeX. **If you want know what sections should be included and its content visit the *Wiki* of this repository**.
# Repository structure
Below you can see the repository's contents. The repository is made of 27 files and 2 folders. The folder `Chapters` includes each `.tex` file that will be included in your thesis; later you will learn how to included. On the other hand, the folder `FrontBackMatter` includes `.tex` files related with common chapters/section required in the thesis layout: *Titlepage, Abstract, Colophon, Dedication, Glossary, and others*; you can include as much as you need.
In the `root` path, there are files related with the organization and the structure of the **Thesis** (the `thesisStructure.tex` and `precontent.tex` files). Also, in `root` is included the main file that gives the special format to the document (`itmthesis.cls`), and finally the `Reference.bib` file to include a bibliography to your work.

# The `thesisStructure.tex` file
The main file in the project is the `thesisStructure.tex` file. The file is mainly divided in five parts: 1)Configuration, 2)Front Matter, 3) Main contents, 4) References and 5)Back Matter.
The file contents is show next, a detailed explaination is presented in the next sections.

## 1) Configuration section ##
### Class' options ###
The code next only refers to the configuration of the `itmthesis` class:
``` tex
% 1)Configuration:
\documentclass[listings,drafting,spanish]{itmthesis} %itm thesis class
\input{configuration}% configuration and packages
\input{FrontBackMatter/glossary-entries}
```
From here the document class, for the Protocol, is defined with `\documentclass[<options>]{itmthesis}`, and this file determine the way the PDF file is generated by the options. The options defined are:
- `drafting`: The options prints the date of compilation at the end of each page. Suitable opton to know that the latest version is on review or writing process.
- `listing`: The option loads the `listings` package and configures the compilation to generates a gray scale listings outputs.
- `spanish`: The option enables the babel package to print-out the sectional units on spanish language; otherwise, english will be used.
### `configuration.tex` file ###
Then, `\input` command is used to include files with `LaTeX` commands. Specifically, the `configuration` file includes all the required packages and its configuration, variable(title, author, university, and so on), and command definitions. The complete code is shown next and sectioned on: 1)Listing configuration, 2)Command and Variable definitions, 3)Short descriptions on Math, 4)Packages, and 5)Text space configuration(indent, interline space, and paragraph space); however, the sections that user should modify are only 2), 4) and 5).

```
Thus, if you require to change the thesis' title modify `\myTitle` definition on section *2.1*. If you need to change your data as an author modify `\myname` on section *2.2*, and the same foe the other options as the reviewing group (*2.3*), and institution (*2.4*).
On the other hand, if you want to add new packages to your Protocol, you can added on the main file; the `thesisStructure.tex` file. However, to maintain a clean code you should add on the `configuration` file, specifically on section *4*.
Finally to set specific values of separation for tabulation, paragraphs or text separation between text(interline), please modify section *5*. Here you can use several measurement units as `em`, `cm` , `in` or lines `2`(just a number). E.g:
``` tex
\setlength{\parindent}{4em}
\setlength{\parskip}{1cm}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2.0} % Interlineado
```
### `glossary-entries.tex` file ###
This file includes each entry for acronyms and glossary entries, the syntax of each entry is shown below:
``` tex
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{latex}
{
name=latex,
description={Es un lenguaje de marcado o sintaxis especialmente diseñado para documentos científicos}
}
\newglossaryentry{maths}{
name=matemáticas,
description={Las matemáticas son sólo una aproximación a la realidad de la vida}}
\newglossaryentry{formula}{
name=formula,
description={A mathematical expression}}
\newacronym{ecm}{ECM}{Error Cuadrático Medio}
\newacronym{ls}{LS}{Mínimos Cuadrados, \textit{Least Squares}}
```
To learn how to call an entry on the code, see the code on `Cahpter02.tex`.
## 2) Front Matter ##
Explain this:
``` tex
% 2)Front Matter:
\pagenumbering{roman} % Roman page numbering
\input{precontent} %Includes titlepage, dedication, Foreword, abstract, publication, acknowledgement
\include{FrontBackMatter/Contents} % Contents, list of figures/tables/listings and acronyms
\pagenumbering{arabic} % Arabic page numbering
```
## Chapters
## Apendix
## including images
# The `configuration` file
# Defined variables
# Titlepage
# Glossary
# References
