Purpose of this Repository:

This repository is intended as a template to standardize and ease the initialization process for Technical Reports from members of the Advanced Reactors and Fuel Cycles group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While this version of the template is geared towards an ARFC Member's report, it can be adapted to any individual's needs.

How to Use this Template:

1. Select the option to "Use this template," located next to the option to clone this repository.
2. Name the repository, and select "Create repository from template."
3. Clone your repository with SSH keys.
   • Open a command line or terminal on your device and enter the directory into which you want to clone your template based repository.
   • Enter git clone [email protected]:USERNAME/REPONAME. Where USERNAME and REPONAME are replaced respectively by your github account's username and the name you chose to give this repository.
   • Enter git remote add upstream [email protected]:USERNAME/REPONAME
4. Now you can make edits and changes to the files on your device and push changes to your Github repository as with any other repository.

This repository serves as a template, for more information on making and using a template repository, see the appropriate help article.

How to Initialize this Repository:

After you have cloned this repository and are ready to see how it renders, perform the following commands based on which type of document you are trying to produce.

Run the command make {insert type here}

For pdf, insert all-via-pdf or all.

For dvi, insert all-via-dvi.

For epub, insert epub.

For zip, insert zip.

Note: Do not include the {} from the make command line, replace the whole {insert type here} text with the command corresponding to the correct file type.

Ex: To make as a pdf, the full command should be: make all-via-pdf

To Clean your Local Directory Run:

make clean or make realclean

Some Initialization Notes:

If the make commands yield errors of:

I found no \citation commands---while reading file title.aux

I found no \bibdata command---while reading file title.aux

I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file title.aux

Open the title.tex file and remove the % from infront of the lines

%\input{main}

%\bibliography{bibliography}{}

%\bibliographystyle{unsrt}

located at the bottom of the page. This will allow your main.tex file, or any other files you want to use the input command on, to compile and render into your title file.

Adding Citations:

To cite something you have to first add a citation to the bibliography.bib file in your local directory, then insert a citation tag to the element you are citing.

Example Format for a Citation in the Bibliography File:

@misc{ call_tag,
	address = {Example Place},
	title = {Example Title},
	abstract = {Details of article you are referencing},
	booktitle = {Example Title},
	publisher = {Example Publisher},
	author = {Example Author},
	month = {Dec},
	year = {2017},
	file = {Example File Extension, to something like Zotero},
}

Adding a Citation to Elements in your Local Directory:

This sentence is used as an example citation call ~\cite{call_tag}.

An important note is that the citation is made with what the example called "call_tag." The first line in the example bibliography.bib code contains this tag, and connects the content to the Reference section that will be generated in the document.
