About The Project

There are many great Latex templates available on GitHub; however, non of them is for the new HKA design.

Here is a glimpse of how the document looks, in this example we used the settings for the faculty EIT.

Here's why:

• Your time should be focused on creating something amazing
• You shouldn't be doing the same tasks over and over like creating a latex template from scratch

Of course, no one template will serve all projects since your needs may be different. You may also suggest changes by forking this repo and creating a pull request or opening an issue. Thanks to all the people have contributed to this template!

Getting Started

To work with template you should have worked with Latex before. Otherwise you find a lot of examples, just search the web e.g. for "latex getting started".

Prerequisites

We recommend using TeXstudio, but the template should work with every more or less up to date latex installation.

• TeXstudio

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/PIX3LFLUX/HSK-Latex-Skript-Template

2. Open the file main.tex in TeXstudio and get started

Usage

The Latex code is commented for an easy usage of the / self explanatory document. If you struggle with a code-snipped, try solving it yourself first via web-search.

• If you solved it, create a CR with an updated comment in the code to help others.

• If you cannot solve it contact me.

• The idea is to always use chapter images, not using chapter images changes the whole appearance of the intended design. Use generative AI to generate some images :-)

For example your can choose the color for each faculty be uncommenting the matching line:

\definecolor{ThemeColor}{RGB}{ 40,135, 50} % Elektro- und Informationstechnik
%\definecolor{ThemeColor}{RGB}{ 25,130,130} % Architektur- und Bauwesen
%\definecolor{ThemeColor}{RGB}{ 40,105,175} % Maschinenbau und Mechatronik
%\definecolor{ThemeColor}{RGB}{ 30, 70,150} % Wirtschaftswissenschaften
%\definecolor{ThemeColor}{RGB}{100, 55,140} % Informatik und Wirtschaftsinformatik
%\definecolor{ThemeColor}{RGB}{140, 45,130} %Informationsmanagement und Medien

In this example the color for the faculty EIT is selected.

Beamer Presentation

Ever get tired of creating a PowerPoint presentation from your latex report? You need to:

• Rewrite all equations in your report.
• Insert figures, labels, labels and numbers.

You don't have to suffer that anymore. With Beamer you can create presentations in your Latex environment. Just copy & paste the content from other Latex documents. Tested with Overleaf, TeXstudio on Mac, TeXLive on Windows. The functions needed for a simple presentation can be done by Beamer, unless you want to surprise your audience with effects.

Open the file '99_presentation.tex' and get started.
