%% Note to the user
% The UCL guidelines suggest that ("should") the lines should be 1.5x or 2x spaced. Uncomment (remove the corresponding "%" before the line) to use (line 48 for 1.5x spacing, 49 for 2x spacing).
% The UCL guidelines enforce that ("must be") margins at the binding edge must be not be less than 40 mm (1.5 inches) and other margins not less than 20 mm (.75 inches). In this document, both left and right margins are set to 40mm, and top and bottom to 20mm. If the user wants just the binding edge to be 40mm, and the other to be 20mm (or more), they should change the "right" parameter of the geometry package options (line 4).
% The UCL guidelines suggest that ("recommend") the minimum font size is 12. This can be changed in the \documentclass [options] selection (line 3). In this document, the default to 12pt.
% The UCL guidelines suggest that ("recommend") the font is either Arial or Helvettica. I have included ways of using those fonts in the document above, uncomment to use. (line 45 for Helvettica, 46 for Arial).
% The Arial font does not ship by default with Linux distros. In order to get this font on Linux (if compiling locally, Overleaf should have this as default), use the following commands:
% wget http://www.itzgeek.com/msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm
% rpm -Uvh msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm
% The last command will likely need to be run as admin (using sudo). The -Uvh option updates the package if available, installs otherwise.
% The margins have been set using the geometry package options. I have selected the margins to be as narrow as possible to comply with the guidelines, but this can be changed.
%%% Bibliography packages
\usepackage[style=numeric,sorting=none,url=true,arxiv=abs,nohashothers=false]{biblatex} % Controls the bibliography style and sorting.
\addbibresource{bibliography.bib} % Imports the bibliography.
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref} % Hyperlinks in citation URLs, and hides their colour in the pdf.
%%% Custom referencing commands
\newcommand{\secref}[1]{Sec.\ \ref{#1}} % Creates a reference to a section as Sec. [].
\newcommand{\equatref}[1]{Eq.\ \eqref{#1}} % Creates a reference to a section as Eq. [].

%%% Math packages
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb} % Defines tools required for math mode.
\usepackage{amsfonts} % Defines extended font set for math mode.
%\usepackage{bm} % Makes math symbols bold in math mode.

%TODO:
\chapter*{TODO}
\begin{enumerate}
\item I have left this in \texttt{main.tex} as a way to keep track of other things to do in the document. Delete the \texttt{chapter} and \texttt{enumerate} commands or comment them out before submission.
\item For those who use VSCode, I would highly recommend updating to the latest version and installing LaTeX-Workshop. This is an excellent extension where you can compile everything locally, as Overleaf takes to have long compile times. It will also help correct formatting errors which overleaf doesn't catch using chktex. This fixes things such as the type of hyphen used in references. It is also very easy to find the manuals for any of the packages that you are using, and you get directed to the one corresponding to the version of the package that you are using. This makes it easier to customise elements of your document.
\item In this document, I use biblatex for referencing, and glossaries-extra for my glossaries. An example of an acronym can be found here: \gls{unique_acronym_id}. An example of a reference can be found in \newline \texttt{bibliography.bib}~\cite{latex-intro}.
\item To use this document, start by opening \texttt{main.tex}, and read lines commencing with a double \% (lines 20--21, and 52--61). These contain formatting options which need to be considered.
\item Review and follow the instructions in lines 122--132. These contain macros that make it so that you do not need to edit the title page, aside from the spacing commands dependent on how long the thesis title and author name are.
\item Upload your signature as an image file and change line 132 to include it (including the directory structure if placed in a folder).
\item I would suggest using the \texttt{todo} package as demonstrated here \todo{This allows for easy markings for things that need to be done.} in \texttt{main.tex}.
\item I would also suggest reading lines 68--71 of \texttt{main.tex}. There are new commands defined here which make section, table, and figure referencing consistent and simple throughout the document.
\item To include further \texttt{.tex} files, see lines 196--197 for a template.
\item If you have any suggestions for improving this document, please email me at ucapmpl@ucl.ac.uk.
