Converting from older version to v6.x

How to convert from v5.X TO v6.X

Please follow these instructions carefully!

  1. Download the latest version of the template (v6.x)
  2. Replace the folder “Chapters” (v6.x) with yours (v5.x)
  3. Copy your bibliography files (v5.x) into the “Bibliography” folder (v6.x)
  4. Go through the files in the “Config” folder (v6.x), one-by-one, and copy-in the relevant information from your “teamplate.tex” (v5.x)

How to convert from v4.x to v6.x

Please follow these instructions carefully!

  1. Download the latest version of the template (v6.x)
  2. Replace these files in the folder “Chapters” (v6.x) with yours (v4.x): “chapter*.tex”, “appendix*.tex”, “annex*.tex”, “acronyms.tex”, “glossary.tex”, and “symbols.tex
  3. DO NOT replace the other files. For the files “abstract-*.tex”, “acknowledgments.tex”, “dedicatory.tex”, and "quote.tex", you must copy-in the relevant text from the original (v4.x) file to the new file (v6.x)
  4. Copy your bibliography files (v4.x) into the “Bibliography” folder (v6.x)
  5. Go through the files in the “Config” folder (v6.x), one-by-one, and copy-in the relevant information from your “teamplate.tex” (v4.x)

If after following these steps carefully you still have some “compilation” problem, let me know either here in GitHub in the “discussions” page, or in the Facebook group.
