TOPtesi bundle version 6.x
Copyright 2008-2020 Claudio Beccari
LaTeX Project Public Licence LPPL v.1.3c (or later)
This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of
the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3c of this license or
(at your option) any later version. The latest version of this license
is in http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt and version 1.3c or later is
part of all distributions of LaTeX version 2003/12/01 or later.
This work itself and every derived work are subject to the above
licence, included the file toptesi.cfg that may be copied to a
different named file and the copy modified at will by the user.
This work has the LPPL maintenance status "author-maintained".
This work consists of the following files:
toptesi.dtx
toptesi-example.tex
toptesi-example-luatex.tex
toptesi-example-xetex.tex
toptesi-example-con-frontespizio.tex
topfront-example.tex
toptesi-example-sss.tex
toptesi-example-triennale.tex
toptesi-example-dottorale.tex
toptesi-example-magistrale.tex
toptesi-scudo-example.zip
README.txt
toptesi-it.tex
The files derived from the work are the following:
toptesi.cls
toptesi.sty
topcoman.sty
topfront.sty
toptesi.cfg
toptesi.pdf
toptesi-monografia.sty
toptesi-scudo.sty
toptesi-magistrale.sty
toptesi-dottorale.sty
toptesi-sss.sty
toptesi-it.pdf
together with all the *-example-*.pdf derived from the
corresponding *-example-*.tex ones.
The toptesi.dtx file is self extracting and self documenting; if you
run pdflatex on it you get at the same time the class, the style
files, the toptesi configuration file, plus the English documented
pdf file.
The Italian documentation is obtained by running LuaLaTeX on
toptesi-it.tex; this documentation has been completely redone
compared to previous versions. With this compiler the result
is PDF/A-2b compliant. The compilation of this file
requires input of various .pdf files, mostly obtained by
processing the .tex files belonging to the bundle. It requires
also the FAKE logos of Politecnico di Torino and of its doctoral
school. See below.
The two documentations pdf files, toptesi.pdf and toptesi-it.pdf,
are complementary to one another and both should be stored in the
doc/latex/toptesi/ folder.
The various files
toptesi-example.tex
toptesi-example-luatex.tex
toptesi-example-xetex.tex
toptesi-example-frontespizio.tex
topfront-example.tex
toptesi-example-sss.tex
toptesi-example-triennale.tex
toptesi-example-magistrale.tex
toptesi-example-dottorale.tex
are examples of the usage of this work; except the second and third
ones, explicitly created to be used with lualatex or xelatex
respectively; all the others compile correctly with pdflatex;
they may be used as templates, but in themselves, although part
of this Work, they may be used by the end user the way s/he likes
best, in order to use them as templates, but the files should not
be modified unless their names are changed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The TOPtesi bundle contains everything is needed to typeset
a bachelor, master or PhD thesis in Italian intermixed with
English and viceversa (or in any other language supported by
LaTeX: the bundle supports multi-language use).
The infix strings may be selected and/or specified at will by
means of a configuration file, so as to customise the information
of the title page to the requirements of a specific university
and a specific language.
Thanks to its language management, the bundle is suited for
multi-language theses that are more and more frequent thanks
to the double degree programs of the European Union Erasmus
programs or the Life Long Learning European programs.
Version 6.x is backwards compatible, but it is completely new; it
uses key=value options, and uses different modules to typeset all
types of thesis supported by the package; it allows to select the
use of the frontespizio package to typeset the title page in
substitution of its standard modules; it allows a custom setting,
to let the user typeset his/her own title page layout.
As a new feature compared to versions 5.x, among the various thesis
types there is also the one that Italian students submit to the
examining committee of their final high-school State Exam.
Version 6.4.x is further upgraded in order to customise header positions
and folios. It it also upgraded to allow compliance with level 2 of the
ISO PDF/A regulations on long term archivability. Because the filecontents
*package* functionalities have been embedded into the LaTeX *kernel*
environment, in a way backwards compatible with the previous definition
of that environment, the now obsolete filecontents package functionalities may
still be obtained, but with a different syntax; therefore a new TOPtesi
specific metadata environment has been defined so as to bypass such syntax
changes.
Version 6.3.x contains some enhancements and corrections, especially
in view of the 2019 Italian TUG meeting that contained a tutorial
on this bundle. For what concerns PDF/A compliant files, the
documentation gives instructions that are up to date with package
pdfx dated February 2019, version 1.6.3.
Version 6.x derives from the previous version by using several features
of the LaTeX3 language.
Version 5.92 of TOPtesi was intended to be compliant also with XeLaTeX
and LuaLaTeX; its documentation explained also how to obtain PDF/A-1b
archivable files from pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX. This particular
functionality was up to date with respect to package pdfx dated
2016/05/03 v.1.5.8.
Version 5.91 contained some small enhancements and bug corrections.
Version 5.90 was enhanced with more class options that allowed
TOPtesi to be used with external packages for typesetting the title
page in different styles. It had a completely enhanced and redone
Italian documentation file toptesi-it.pdf.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You might have your valid reasons for not upgrading your installed TeX
system distribution, but in order to have available some new
functionalities, you might consider upgrading your installation;
otherwise you have to install the whole TOPtesi bundle by yourself.
You can get some help by carefully reading the Italian documentation
file toptesi.
In this case you have to download the toptesi.zip file from a CTAN archive
and save it to this (possibly created on purpose) folder:
.../texmf/source/latex/toptesi.
and decompress it.
Then run pdflatex on toptesi.dtx in order to get the class, style and
configuration files (and the pdf documentation in English) and move
the .tex, .cls, .sty, and .cfg files (including the example .tex files)
to .../texmf/tex/latex/toptesi/. Move both pdf files
toptesi.pdf and toptesi-it.pdf to .../texmf/doc/latex/toptesi/.
If the mentioned folders do not exist, create them.
For a personal installation, the /texmf folder is your personal
one, rooted in your home directory: ~ on Linux; ~/Library
on Mac OSX; on a path with different names on different Windows
systems, all of them containing in one form or another your login
name; in recent Windows editions your home directory is
C:\Users\<your login name>.
If you are running a Windows platform change the slashes into backslashes
and prefix all paths with the drive letter and any other specific prefix
that is actually used in your personal texmf tree.
Remember to refresh the filename database if you are using a MiKTeX
installation!
This operation is not required if you have a TeXLive installation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two fake logos of the "Institute of Technology of Turin" and its Doctoral
School are provided, in substitution of the legal official ones. They both
have a "FAKE LOGO" watermark so as to be sure they are not used in place
of the official ones. In the documentation of this bundle they are used
as examples of possible logos, but they do not represent in any way any
official logo. Even the fake institutional name, the translation in English
of the official Italian one, has nothing to do with the trademarked one,
the only one the Politecnico of Torino bachelor, master, and PH.D. students
should use for their actual theses; they have to get the official logos
from their Student Office, or from the official restricted Web site where
only institutional students have access.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The package is already installed with *complete* TeXLive, MacTeX or
MiKTeX distributions. In this case you don't need to decompress
anything and move files around; in case of TeX system upgrades your
package manager will do the work for you.
Possibly check if the CTAN repository contains a newer version and,
in case, use your package manager to upgrade your installation, but
remember that you are not supposed to move or change anything in the
TeX system directories.
