FEIstyle

Upgraded FEIStyle (original) modified for use at the Institute of Robotics and Cybernetics FEI STU.

• Use Times New Roman font for consistency with the official MS word templates from URK
• support for citation standard ISO-690 required by STU FEI, using biber
• support for acronym glossaries package
• removed FEIstyle.bst (not needed)
• added Makefile
• added seminar paper template (example_paper.tex) example_paper.pdf
• python script (utils/tree.py) to auto-generate contents of electronic medium (attachmentA.tex)
• improved contents of electronic medium example, added 2 commands to make it easy to write attachmentA.tex like files

Note: FEIstyle supports only UTF-8 encoding.

Changelog

Change-log is located here.

Note: Minor changes are not noted in change-log.

Latex installation

Here you can find the full documentation of how to download Latex for Linux, Windows and macOS.

Installation on macOS

• install MacTex distribution using homebrew (~2GB / 6GB installed)

  $ brew cask install mactex
  

• you can download MacTex manually from tug.org.

Note: MacTex installs also BibDesk which can be used to maintain your bibliography in a very nice way.

Updating TeX packages

If you installed MacTex distribution you also have application called TeX Live Utility (it is a front-end for pkmgr program) which is used to upgrade all TeX related packages, open it from time to time and do a full update.

Installation on Ubuntu and Fedora

For newer versions of Ubuntu

Here you can see detailed info about downloading latex on ubuntu.

TL;DR

There are more types of downloads. They differ in the amount of contents you would download. The texlive-latex-recommended is recommended to download. The full version will download every package linked with texlive (also those like Japanese or Chinese language support). Then add the missing packages. This can be achieved using command:

 $ sudo apt install texlive-latex-recomended latexmk biber texlive-lang-czechslovak texlive-bibtex-extra texlive-science

Older versions using eitl

Note: Works for Fedora too

Do following steps only if you have texlive 2015 or less

Note: biblatex-iso690 is included in 2016 build of texlive

• download install script

  $ wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/support/texlive/eitl.zip
  

• unzip

  $ unzip eitl.zip && cd eitl
  

• install TexLive

  $ ./eitl.sh /usr/share/texlive
  

Usage

Download the zip file or clone the repository. In case of the zip file, extract it to desired folder and enjoy.

Compile chain

In following sub-chapters file is your main file.tex (e.g.: diploma.tex in root folder)

Manual compiling

Following chain should output file.pdf

$ pdflatex file
$ biber file
$ glossary file
$ pdflatex file
$ pdflatex file #not a typo!

Using latexmk

Note: see Hints and Trics section to get information on how to install letexmk

Following command runs necessary compile chain.

$ latexmk -pdf -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -silent file

Using Makefile (uses latexmk)

Note: make sure to change file-name in Makefile on line #2

Build in .build folder

$ make

Clean .build folder and delete PDF file in parent folder

$ make clean

Combine two commands above

$ make refresh

Read more on how to be even more efficient with latexmk && make.

Sublime-text 3 project file

Repository consists of ST3 project file which includes building your PDF using SUPER+b.

Note: to enable building with short-cut tools->Build System->FEI-LaTeX

You can also install LaTeXTools to make build / debug process even easier. File fei.sublime-project comes with settings set to build your documentation - just edit TEXroot setting.

Counting words, lines and characters

There is a variety of ways to count words and lines (characters are not so important) of compiled PDF file, and none is precise so we list a few and you can compare results yourself.

Using ps2ascii

$ ps2ascii example.pdf |  wc -l -w -c

Using pdftotext

pdftotext example.pdf - | wc -l -w -c

Note: CZRP does word counting differently, for example my thesis using ps2ascii method outputs 4288, 21031, 145198; pdftotext method outputs 7051, 21377, 148535; CZRP word count is 14039 and character count 138687.

Counting words from source file (not recommended, since template does a lot of /includeing and /inputting).

texcount -inc example.tex

TODO

• working example on Sharelatex.com
  • Sharelatex does not support biblatex-iso690 at this time
• transform tutorial.pdf to wiki page
• update read-me to include usage for Windows OS users
• update csquotes style to Slovak after this PR is merged, (perhaps in 2017)
  • optional since not everyone has up-to-date packages installed
• auto-generate contents of electronic medium
  • electronic medium should be brief with explanation, see example
• publish example of electronic medium
