This template aims to simplify and improve the (Xe)LaTeX report/thesis template by Delft University of Technology with the following three main design principles:
- Simplicity First: A class file that has been reduced by nearly 70% to simplify customization;
- Effortless: A careful selection of common packages to get started immediately;
- Complete: Ready-to-go when it comes to the document and file structure.
This template works with pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. In order to adhere to the TU Delft house style, either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX is required, as it supports TrueType and OpenType fonts. BibLaTeX is used for the bibliography with as backend biber. Please visit https://dzwaneveld.github.io/report/ for the full documentation.

As a report/thesis is generally a substantial document, the chapters and appendices have been separated into different files and folders for convenience. The folders are based on the three parts in the document: the frontmatter, mainmatter and appendix. All files are inserted in the main file, report.tex, using the \input{filename} command. The document class, which can be found in tudelft-report.cls, is based on the book class.
The template will automatically generate a cover when the \makecover command is used. The title, subtitle and author will also be present on the title page. To give greater flexibility over the title page, the layout is specified in title-report.tex. A title page for theses is also available: title-thesis.tex. Change the corresponding \input{...} command in the main file to switch.
The bibliography has been set up in report.tex to allow for easy customization. It is included in the table of contents and renamed to 'References' using the heading=bibintoc and title=References options of the \printbibliography command respectively. If you would like to use a different .bib file, change the command \addbibresource{report.bib} accordingly.
