The official web page of \textsf{sapthesis} is\\ +{\footnotesize\url{http://biccari.altervista.org/c/informatica/latex/sapthesis.php}}. +\end{abstract} + +\setcounter{tocdepth}{2} +\renewcommand{\columnseprule}{0.4pt} +\setlength{\columnsep}{1.5cm} + +\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\begin{multicols}{2}} +{\small +\tableofcontents} + +\clearpage + +\section{Introduction} + +After several years in my faculty I noticed that usually students spend a lot of time to refine the aesthetic aspect of their \LaTeX\ documents instead of focusing on the content. +This is against the philosophy of \LaTeX, which was created to relieve the writer from the typesetter's work. +Apart from the time spent, the resulting documents are obviously all different from each other and good aesthetic results are not always achieved. +This has a negative impact both on the student's work and on the university. +Moreover in 2007 the Sapienza university changed completely its +logo and a lot of strict graphic rules for official documents were introduced.% +\footnote{A thesis is not an official document and therefore these guidelines can not be applied (private communication with Laura Gobbo, Ufficio Stampa e Comunicazione Sapienza -- Universit\`a di Roma). +However some Microsoft Word templates, with a completely different style, are provided. +To give a look to the new Sapienza style see +\href{http://www.uniroma1.it/ufficiostampa/identita.php}{Identit\`a visiva}.} + +For these reasons I thought that a \LaTeX\ class for the theses of my +university would have been a good idea. +\textsf{Sapthesis} is the result of my work. +To give a look to a document composed by \textsf{sapthesis} class see the file +\texttt{sapthesis-example.pdf}. +In that file the page layout and the layout choices are explained. +\textsf{Sapthesis} is released under the terms of the latest version of the +\href{http://www.latex-project.org/lppl/}{\LaTeX\ Project Public License}. + +I would thank the Italian \TeX\ user group (\href{http://www.guitex.org/}{GuIT}) for the help provided, in particular Prof.~Enrico Gregorio. +I would thank also Dr.~Gabriele Di Segni and Dr.~Matteo Siccardi. + +\section[Requirements\\ and installation]{Requirements and installation} + +The simplest way to install \textsf{sapthesis} is by the package manager of +your \TeX\ distribution (\TeX\ Live or MiK\TeX). For manual installation see +the \texttt{README} file. + +The \textsf{sapthesis} package provides: the +\texttt{sapthesis.cls} class file; the documentation +\texttt{sapthesis-doc.pdf} (this file) and its source code; the logos of +Sapienza university; \texttt{sapthesis-example.pdf}, an usage example of +the class and its source code; an English Bib\TeX\ style, called +\texttt{sapthesis.bst}, which can be used, obviously, only if you use the +Bib\TeX\ way to compose your bibliography and if your thesis is written in +English (its usage is not mandatory). + + +\textsf{Sapthesis} explicitely loads the packages \textsf{xkeyval}, \textsf{geometry}, \textsf{ifxetex}, \textsf{xltxtra}, \textsf{fontenc}, \textsf{textcomp}, \textsf{lmodern}, \textsf{caption}, \textsf{graphicx}, \textsf{color}, \textsf{booktabs}, \textsf{amsmath}, \textsf{fancyhdr}, \textsf{emptypage}. +It is highly recommended to not include these packages in the preamble of your document because already loaded by \textsf{sapthesis}. + + + + + +\section{Usage} + +A \LaTeX\ document based on \textsf{sapthesis} can be compiled only by the commands +\texttt{pdflatex} and \texttt{xelatex}. In this manual only \texttt{pdflatex} will be considered. + + +As usual, in order to use this class you need to call it by +\begin{lstlisting} +\documentclass[|\textit{\texttt{options}}|]{sapthesis} +\end{lstlisting} +You have to specify the correct options for your case (see Sec.~\ref{class_options}). Then you have to provide some fundamental information (title, author, etc\ldots) by specific commands (see Sec.~\ref{commands_titlepage}). Finally remember that it is important to follow a source code structure similar to those of the examples given in Sec.~\ref{sec:PhDexample} and~\ref{sec:LaMexample}. +Especially the usage of the commands \texttt{\bs frontmatter}, \texttt{\bs mainmatter} and \texttt{\bs backmatter} is mandatory, otherwise the page style of the document will be wrong. + +This class supports, at the moment, two languages: Italian and English. English is the default. +If your thesis contains only English or very few paragraphs in another language, do not use the \texttt{babel} package because completely useless. Instead, if you write in italian, load the \texttt{babel} package with the +\texttt{italian} option: \texttt{\bs usepackage[italian]\{babel\}}. + +\subsection{Class options} +\label{class_options} +These options can be passed in the documentclass command. + +\begin{description} +\item[\texttt{PhD}, \texttt{PhDA}, \texttt{PhDB}] The last two options are respectively for PhD theses in Physics and Mathematics. If your PhD is not in Physics or Mathematics, use the simple \texttt{PhD} option. (``Dottorato di ricerca'') +\item[\texttt{LaM}] Option to typeset a Laurea Magistrale thesis. (``Laurea Specialistica'') +\item[\texttt{Lau}] Option to typeset a Laurea thesis. (``Laurea Triennale'') +\item[\texttt{MasterP}, \texttt{MasterS}] Options to typeset a thesis for a +First level master (``Master di primo livello'') and a Second level master (``Master di secondo livello'') respectively. +\item[\texttt{draft}] This is the usual draft option of the \LaTeX\ Standard Classes +\item[\texttt{oneside}] The usual oneside option of the \LaTeX\ Standard Classes +\item[\texttt{twoside}] (default) The usual twoside option of the \LaTeX\ Standard Classes + +\item[\texttt{bn}] This option typesets the frontispiece in black and white +(using the b/w logo, \texttt{marchiologo\_nero\_positivo.pdf}, instead of the colored one) and passes the \texttt{monochrome} option to \textsf{color} and +\textsf{xcolor} packages. + +\item[\texttt{binding=\textsl{length}}] (zero default binding) +The value of this option is an offset of the the text column. +It is useful to take in account the margin for the binding (ask to your bookbinder for information). +\item[\texttt{noexaminfo}] Remove the final exam informations. +\item[\texttt{italian} or \texttt{english}] Explicitly declare the language of +the frontispiece. Useful when you want to write the frontispiece in a language +and the thesis in a different language. +\item[\texttt{nodefaultfont}] To be documented. +\item[\texttt{romandiff}] See App.~\ref{sec:usefulcommands}. +\end{description} + +\subsection[Commands for the\\ titlepage]{Commands for the titlepage} +\label{commands_titlepage} + +As usual, the titlepage is generated by the \texttt{\bs maketitle} command. +It needs some information that you can supply by the following commands +in the preamble of the document. +\begin{description} +\item[\texttt{\bs title\{\dots\}}] Mandatory. + +\item[\texttt{\bs author\{\dots\}}] Mandatory + +\item[\texttt{\bs IDnumber\{\dots\}}] Mandatory. Your ID number (\textit{matricola} in italian) + +\item[\texttt{\bs course[\dots]\{\dots\}}] Use Italian. Mandatory except for PhDA and PhDB options. The optional argument specifies the course name in another language, which is needed only in the case of PhD's. + +\item[\texttt{\bs courseorganizer\{\dots\}}] Mandatory except for PhDA and PhDB options. + +\item[\texttt{\bs cycle\{\dots\}}] Mandatory only for PhD's. Use the form: \texttt{\bs cycle\{XXII\}} + +\item[\texttt{\bs submitdate\{\dots\}}] Mandatory. Use the form \texttt{\bs submitdate\{April 2009\}} for PhD's and the form \texttt{\bs submitdate\{2009/2010\}} for Laurea theses. + +\item[\texttt{\bs copyyear\{\dots\}}] Mandatory. Copyright year (usually the +year of your graduation). + +\item[\texttt{\bs advisor\{\dots\}}] You must specify at least one advisor. +If you have more than one advisor, put several advisor commands in the correct order:\\ +\texttt{\bs advisor\{Prof.~Pippo\}} \texttt{\bs advisor\{Dr.~Pluto\}} + +\item[\texttt{\bs coadvisor\{\dots\}}] Optional. Co-advisors of the thesis. +Same syntax of the \texttt{\bs advisor} command. + +\item[\texttt{\bs authoremail\{\dots\}}] Mandatory. Email of the thesis author. +It is automatically hyper-linked if \textsf{hyperref} package is loaded. + +\item[\texttt{\bs examdate\{\dots\}}] Optional. Date of the final exam. +Use the form\\ \texttt{\bs examdate\{16 February 2010\}}. + +\item[\texttt{\bs examiner\{\dots\}}] Optional. Specifies the members of the +board of examiners of the final exam. Usage similar to \texttt{\bs advisor} command. + +\item[\texttt{\bs versiondate\{\dots\}}] Optional. Date version of the thesis. + +\item[\texttt{\bs website\{\dots\}}] Optional. Thesis website. Automatically +hyper-linked if \textsf{hyperref} package is loaded. + +\item[\texttt{\bs ISBN\{\dots\}}] Optional. ISBN +\end{description} + + + +\subsection[Other commands\\ and environments]{Other commands and environments} + +\begin{description} + +\item[\texttt{\bs dedication\{\dots\}}] A command to compose the dedication. + +\item[\texttt{abstract}] An environment to compose the abstract of your document. + +\item[\texttt{acknowledgments}] An environment to compose the acknowledgments of your document. This environment has an optional parameter to choose the title of the acknowledgments section. +If you use a language for the acknowledgments different from that of the thesis, consider the \texttt{\bs selectlanguage\{\dots\}} command provided by the \texttt{babel} package. + + +\end{description} + +The \texttt{sapthesis} class defines also the color \texttt{sapred} which is the \emph{Sapienza red}: RGB(130,36,51). +This color is switched to black if the \texttt{bn} option is in use. Example of usage: \texttt{\ldots \bs textcolor\{sapred\}\{blah blah blah\}\ldots} + + +\section{Recommendations} + +\begin{itemize} + +\item Do \textbf{not} change the default layout and do \textbf{not} use packages which can modify the layout of your thesis. + + +\item As you already should know, \LaTeX\ can process only document +in pure ASCII. If you want to insert \emph{directly} other characters, non included in the 128 ASCII +characters (for example accented letters), you have to use a particular text encoding for your source file. Then you have to ``tell'' to \LaTeX\ which encoding you have chosen by the packages \texttt{inputenc} or \texttt{inputenx}. + +However, if your thesis is in English, I suggest to avoid the use of a particular text encoding for the source code because you will insert non ASCII characters very seldom. For this reason it is better to write these characters by the usage of the \LaTeX\ commands (for example \texttt{\bs\sq e} for the \'e letter), avoiding to load \texttt{inputenc} or \texttt{inputenx} package. This has another advantage, in fact your source file will be very portable. + +\item Respect the following thesis structure: + +\begin{itemize} +\item Title page (\texttt{\bs maketitle} command) +\item Dedication (\texttt{\bs dedication} command) +\item Abstract (\texttt{abstract} environment) +\item Acknowledgements (\texttt{acknowledgments} environment) +\item Table of contents (\texttt{\bs tableofcontens} command) +\item Chapters +\item Appendices +\item Bibliography +\end{itemize} + +\item It is recommended to avoid or limit the acknowledgments in a thesis, it +is not very professional. The dedication should be enough. + +\item Do not put any preface in your thesis. The preface should be written only by an eminent expert in the field to comment exceptionally important results of the student. + +\item Usually tables and figures are centered. Remember that, according to the typographic rules, \emph{the table captions should be placed above the table}, whereas the figure caption should be placed below the figure. + +\item If the figure has a small width, it is possible to put the figure caption +aside the figure using the \texttt{sidecap} package (not preloaded in \texttt{sapthesis.cls}). + +\item Avoid the use of colors unless really necessary. Remember that the figures should be readable even if they are printed in gray scale! + +\item Subscripts and superscripts should be in italic if they represent variable quantities, whereas should be in roman if they are simply labels. + +\item The name of operators should be typed in roman. Example: use $\sin$ (\texttt{\$\bs sin\$}) instead of $sin$ (\texttt{\$sin\$}). + +\item The margin notes are rarely used in scientific documents and \emph{should not be used in a thesis}. + +\item Do not divide the bibliography per chapter unless it is really necessary. +This will save you from wasting a lot of time to prepare your \LaTeX\ source code. +Order your bibliography alphabetically according to the +first author surname: this order is very useful, contrary to the other typical order, the citation order. In this regard +I recommend the usage of the \texttt{backref} package. + +\end{itemize} + + + +% % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % +\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname} +\begin{thebibliography}{9} +\item[] +\hskip-\leftmargin +\begin{minipage}{\textwidth} +Many people want to (or are compelled to) write in \LaTeX\ without studying +a basic manual.
