FYP-LaTeX-Template

Template for writing Final Year Project (FYP) and Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP) projects in LaTeX for School of Computing, NUS.

Adapted from Prof Ooi's Template

What's inside

• socreport.cls: LaTeX style file for FYP/ UROP
• socreport.bst: BibTeX style file
• socreport.bib: BibTeX biblography file -- this is where you put your biblographies
• socreport.tex: LaTeX file -- this is where you write your LaTeX code
• Makefile: Makefile to compile the example

Document Class

For FYP, use the document class FYP:

\documentclass[fyp]{socreport}

For UROP, use the document class UROP:

\documentclass[urop]{socreport}

Compiling

• Replace socreport of the first line of Makefile with your file name

FILE=your-report-name

• Replace socreport of the second line of Makefile with your biblography file name

BIBFILE=your-biblography-name

make

You should get a socreport.pdf as your output for submission :)

You don't have to make files that are included with \include{}

Cleaning up Auxilary and Extra Files

Because LaTeX can be very messy

make clean

Compiling with LaTeX IDE

• Compile 'main.tex' using latex or pdflatex => this step will generate main.aux file
• Compile 'main.aux' (NOT 'ref.bib') using bibtex
• Compile twice 'main.tex' using latex or pdflatex

TAR GZip the files

make tar
