To compile: run make (see the file makefile). This compiles the file using pdflatex. I suppose xelatex produces nicer fonts, but it seems to mess a bit with the colors of the title pages. TODO: Investigate this.
- I prefer to have chapter titles, numbers and figure captions in sans serif, and main body in serif
- I don't like the TUDelft font choice.
- Potentially better suited alternatives are
- Linux Biolinum + Libertine: open source fonts and much less used supposedly.
- Fira Sans: Matches with my preferred presentation style. Drawback: It's an all-sans serif font...
- Links on this:
- Noto Sans + Noto Serif. Open question math?
- alternative sans serif: Roboto, Noto Sans, PT Sans

This is the TU Delft dissertation template for LaTeX. It is designed to work with all versions of LaTeX, but if you want to adhere to the TU Delft house style, you need to use XeLaTeX, as it supports TrueType and OpenType fonts. The document can be compiled with
xelatex dissertation
bibtex chapter-1/chapter-1
xelatex dissertation
xelatex dissertation
Or by selecting the 'XeLaTeX' and 'BibTeX' options in your favorite TeX editing program, respectively. Note that you have to run bibtex for every chapter.
A sample document, as well as documentation for template options, can be found in example.pdf. An example with the native LaTeX fonts, compiled using the 'nativefonts' option (or with pdflatex), can be found in example-nativefonts.pdf. This example also has the print option turned on.
A separate document is available for the propositions. It can be generated with
xelatex propositions
or simply with the 'XeLaTeX' option in TeXworks or an equivalent program.
This dissertation template has been tested to work with the most recent version of MiKTeX at the time of this writing (2.9). The following packages are required on top of a basic MiKTeX installation to make full use of the template:
caption, fancyhdr, filehook, footmisc, fourier, l3kernel, l3packages, lettrine, metalogo, mptopdf, ms, natbib, pgf, realscripts, tipa, titlesec, tocbibind, unicode-math, url, xcolor, xetex-def
Note that MiKTeX will generally automatically install these packages if they are missing from your installation.
Recent versions of Debian, and derived distributions such as Ubuntu, use the TeX Live system. Install the following packages to make full use of the this template:
texlive, texlive-fonts-extra, texlive-math-extra, texlive-lang-dutch, texlive-lang-english, texlive-latex-extra, texlive-xetex
