TOPtesi bundle version 5.86 of 2014/12/13 Copyright 2014 Claudio Beccari LaTeX Project Public Licence LPPL v.1.3 (or later) The TOPtesi bundle contains everything is needed for typesetting a bachelor, master or PhD thesis in Italian (or in any other language supported by LaTeX: the bundle supports multi-language use). The infix strings may be selected and specified at will by means of a configuration file, so as to customise the information of the front 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. This version of TOPtesi is intended to be compliant also with XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX; the documentation explains also how to obtain PDF/A-1b archivable files from pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX. Version 5.81 has been enhanced with some more class options that allow TOPtesi to be used with external packages for typesetting the title page with different styles. Version 5.82 has a completely enhanced and redone Italian documentation file toptesi-it-xetex.pdf. For installation, if the package is not already installed in your TeX system distribution, either read the Italian documentation in toptesi-it-xetex.pdf or quickly decompress the toptesi.zip file and move all files to: .../texmf/source/latex/toptesi. 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, .xmpdata, .ps and .cfg files (including the example .tex files) to .../texmf/tex/latex/toptesi Move the .txt and .pdf files plus this README file to .../texmf/doc/latex/toptesi. If the mentioned folders do not exist, create them. For a personal installation, the /texmf folder is your personal texmf folder rooted in your home directory: ~ on Linux; ~/Library on Mac OS X; on a path with different names on different Windows systems, all of them containing in one form or another 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 present in your texmf tree. Remember to refresh the filename database! If the package is already installed (it is with a complete TeXLive or complete MiKTeX distributions), the texmf folder should be the /texmf-dist system one. But in this case you don't need to decompress anything and move files around. Possibly check if the CTAN repository contains a newer version and, in case, use your package manager to upgrade your installation, but don't ever move or change anything in the TeX system directories.
