This template is not affiliated with DHBW Mannheim.
It is intended to be used as a template for the bachelor thesis at the computing faculty in accordance to the 2019 guidelines.
If you intend to use the template, please double-check its accordance with the guidelines, there might be a newer version!
The template is created for a thesis in German, but provides most of its content in English as well when language: "en" is set.
Adopting to another language should be straightforward, if you have some experience with Typst or programming in general.
Check out the Typst Repository and the Typst Documentation to get started.
I'm using a cargo install on a local machine, writing in VS Code.
The Typst App works as well, but I was facing some stability issues.
For a local install, clone the Repo:
git clone https://github.com/Ciolv/typst-template-bachelor-thesisand open it:
code ./typst-template-bachelor-thesisThe template itself is located in config.typ.
main.typ uses the template for a sample document.
For a project in German or English, the config parameters in main.typ should be sufficient. Other languages might require adjustment in cofig.typ.
helper.typ contains small helper functions.
acronyms.typ attempts to provide some acronym / abbreviation handling, inspired by the LaTeX acro package.
title: Provide the title string, to print it to the title page.
authors: Only one author is supported by this template. Every value set to none will not be displayed on the title page.

abstract: As a content block. none will suppress the abstract page from being printed at all.
language: No matter what language you are writing in, set the ISO 639 language code to enable smart quotes.
font: Set your favourite font. I've got some issues with numbers with multiple fonts, so I use Manrope. I don't know whether it's a Typst bug or a template bug currently, requires more investigation.
outlines: Provide pairs of type ("Outline name", kind) to auto-create an outline for figures, see kind and outline for more information. The outline will only be printed, if at least one figure of its kind is in the text.
Commonly, the following parameters should be sufficient:
outlines: (
("List of figures", image),
("List of tables", image),
("List of listings", raw)
),acronym_outline_name: The outline title for acronyms. Configured outside the outlines parameter, since it is not based on figure.
