ISEC Master's Thesis Template

Quickstart (CLI):

typst init @preview/definitely-not-isec-thesis:2.0.1 thesis

Quickstart (WebIDE):

Note

If you are an ISEC or TUGraz employee and think that isec-thesis or tugraz-thesis fits more, I would need an approval to allocate the name :)

Tested typst version: 0.13.1.

Need some slides? Check out the sibling package definitely-not-isec-slides

Typst

What's Typst?

A modern typesetting system which has:

  • Milisecond incremental (memoized) builds¹
  • Subsecond full builds¹
  • Multithreaded builds per pagebreak
  • Easy rustc-like compiler error messages (and no intermediates!)
  • Transparent multiple compiler passes (no more mklatex/makefiles)
  • Simple & powerful scripting and syntax
  • WebAssembly plugin support (python/js interpreters in your thesis? Sure)

Migrating from LaTeX? Check the migration guide

¹: This is obviously not a serious benchmark and depends on the document. But it's fast trust me

Quick usage

Start incremental compilations with:

typst watch thesis.typ

then open the generated PDF:

xdg-open thesis.pdf

Now edit thesis.typ and it will be incrementally built in each save.

Incremental builds are blazingly fast, but regular PDF rendering (on the viewer) is a bottleneck here.

Use tinymist with neovim's :TypstPreview (or VSCode plugin), which uses the browser to do PDF partial renderings and previews will be even more responsive. No need for running typst watch now. It even has features like cursor sync, click to jump, etc.

Design

Template closely follows Maria's LaTeX Template design from the institute.

There's a few differences between the original and the Typst version that won't be changed as I prefer as it is here. Nothing reallty important, just small typesetting/design choices. Check the differences here
