|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
OVERVIEW
|
||
--------
|
||
This is a LaTeX template for writing a PhD thesis following the formatting
|
||
requirements of Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris). It includes a
|
||
styled front cover, back cover, chapter formatting, headers, bibliography
|
||
management, and appendix handling.

FILE DESCRIPTIONS
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
1ere.tex - Front Cover
|
||
Generates the front cover of the thesis following the official IP Paris
|
||
layout. It sets the black side band, the NNT number, the institution logos,
|
||
the thesis title, the PhD programme information (doctoral school, speciality,
|
||
defence date and location), and the jury composition table. It must be
|
||
compiled separately to produce 1ere.pdf, which is then embedded into
|
||
main.tex via \includepdf.
|
||
|
||
4eme.tex - Back Cover
|
||
Generates the back cover of the thesis. It typically contains the thesis
|
||
abstract in French and English, keywords, and the institution branding.
|
||
Like the front cover, it must be compiled separately to produce 4eme.pdf
|
||
before compiling main.tex.
|
||
|
||
main.tex - Main Document
|
||
The central file that assembles the full thesis. It includes, in order:
|
||
the front cover (1ere.pdf), a blank page, the acknowledgements, table of
|
||
contents, summaries, general introduction (with its own bibliography), the
|
||
thesis chapters (each with an abstract, sections, and an appendix), a global
|
||
bibliography, lists of figures and tables, and the back cover (4eme.pdf).
|
||
This is the only file you need to compile to produce the complete thesis PDF
|
||
-- but only after 1ere.tex and 4eme.tex have been compiled first.
|
||
|
||
thesisehess.sty - Style Package
|
||
The custom LaTeX style package that controls the overall appearance of the
|
||
document. It handles:
|
||
|
||
- Page layout: A4 format with 2.5 cm margins.
|
||
- Chapter and section styles: custom fonts and sizes for chapter titles,
|
||
sections, subsections, and subsubsections.
|
||
- Headers and footers: two page styles are defined:
|
||
* plain_center: centered page number at the bottom, chapter title at
|
||
the top right, with a header rule. Used for the main content.
|
||
* noheader: centered page number only, no header rule. Used for
|
||
prefatory pages such as the table of contents and summaries.
|
||
- Line spacing: 1.5 line spacing throughout.
|
||
- Hyperlinks: all internal links (table of contents, citations,
|
||
cross-references) are set to black for a clean print appearance.
|
||
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
COVER PAGE ASSETS
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
The images and graphics used for the front and back covers are provided by
|
||
IP Paris in the official thesis cover template:
|
||
|
||
"Modele de these IP Paris"
|
||
|
||
You can download the official template from the IP Paris doctoral school
|
||
resources. Place the required images in the Modele_these_IP_Paris/ folder
|
||
as expected by 1ere.tex and 4eme.tex.
|
||
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
!! IMPORTANT: COMPILATION ORDER
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
You must compile the cover files before compiling the main document.
|
||
|
||
The front and back covers are included in main.tex as pre-compiled PDFs using
|
||
\includepdf. This means that any changes made to 1ere.tex or 4eme.tex will NOT
|
||
appear in the final document unless you recompile them first.
|
||
|
||
Compilation order:
|
||
|
||
Step 1 - Compile 1ere.tex --> generates 1ere.pdf
|
||
Step 2 - Compile 4eme.tex --> generates 4eme.pdf
|
||
Step 3 - Compile main.tex --> generates the full thesis
|
||
|
||
NOTE: If you update your name, title, jury members, or any other information
|
||
in the cover files, remember to recompile 1ere.tex and/or 4eme.tex before
|
||
recompiling main.tex, otherwise the changes will not be reflected.
|
||
|
||

||
GETTING STARTED
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
1. Fill in your personal information (name, thesis title, jury, etc.)
|
||
in 1ere.tex and 4eme.tex.
|
||
2. Follow the compilation order above.
|
||
3. Replace all \blindtext placeholders in main.tex with your actual content.
|
||
4. Add \markboth{Section Title}{Section Title} at the start of each chapter,
|
||
section, and subsection to control the page header text.
