3 -Prof. von Hanxleden would recommend Emacs as a very flexible and powerful Latex editor. But probably you belong to a post-emacs generation, so here are some alternatives: Hauke (haf) recommends [[Texlipse>>url:http://trac.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/trac/rtsys/wiki/Texlipse||style="text-decoration: none;" shape="rect" class="wiki"]] as an easy-to use and also powerful Eclipse plug-in. Christoph Daniel (cds) recommends using Kile, a KDE LaTeX editor that is fast, powerful, and reasonably easy to understand and to use.

The main purpose is to prevent loss of data. It also facilitates access for fellow group members if needed, and to allow on-line publication.

See also [[Git/Structure>>url:http://trac.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/trac/rtsys/wiki/Git/Structure||style="text-decoration: none;" shape="rect" class="wiki"]] for the canonical naming scheme. Eg, the bachelor thesis of user xyz can be found in a repository named xyz-bt in the Thesss project of our [[(% class="icon" %) (%%)Gitorious>>url:https://git.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/projects||style="text-decoration: none;" shape="rect" class="ext-link"]] system, in a file named xyz-bt.tex. If there is a talk to "defend" the thesis (Bachelor-Kolloquium, Disputation), the talk should also be included in this repository, and should be named <name of directory>-talk.tex; eg xyz-bt-talk.tex. In case your thesis should be made available on-line, the same names should be used, eg, xyz.pdf.

11 -See also the notes on [[preparing a paper>>url:http://trac.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/trac/rtsys/wiki/Preparing_a_Paper||style="text-decoration: none;" shape="rect" class="wiki"]], eg regarding which files should be kept in revision management (ie, should be checked into Git) and which shouldn't.
9 +Before you do anything else for your thesis work, you should get the technical issues for writing your thesis out of the way. Ie, you should create a git repository for your thesis, familiarize yourself with [[LaTeX>>url:http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX||rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration: none;" shape="rect" class="external-link"]] and the [[KCSS>>url:http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/kcss/||shape="rect"]] style, and adapt/fill in the KCSS thesis template for your needs. This way, you can fill your thesis with contents as you work along on your thesis topic, instead of keeping notes in various ways and having to consolidate it all later.

11 += Use Git =
12 +
13 +Our shared repositories are managed with Git. The files associated with the thesis should be kept in the group's Git installation, as a separate repository that your advisor will create for you. The main purpose is to prevent loss of data, but it also facilitates access for fellow group members if needed, and to allow on-line publication. See also [[doc:KIELER.Using Git]].
14 +
15 +The main tex file for a thesis should be {{code language="none"}}<name of repository>.tex{{/code}} (see also [[Git/Structure>>url:http://trac.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/trac/rtsys/wiki/Git/Structure||style="text-decoration: none;" shape="rect" class="wiki"]] for the canonical naming scheme). E.g., the bachelor thesis of user xyz can be found in a repository named {{code language="none"}}xyz-bt{{/code}} [[in the Theses project of our Stash system>>url:https://git.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/projects/THESES||shape="rect"]], in a file named {{code language="none"}}xyz-bt.tex{{/code}}. If there is a talk to "defend" the thesis (Bachelor-Kolloquium, Disputation), the talk should also be included in this repository, and should be named {{code language="none"}}<name of repository>-talk.tex{{/code}} (e.g. {{code language="none"}}xyz-bt-talk.tex{{/code}}). In case your thesis should be made available on-line, the same names should be used, e.g.,{{code language="none"}} xyz.pdf{{/code}}.

21 +Prof. von Hanxleden would recommend Emacs as a very flexible and powerful editor for LaTeX (and everything else). But probably you belong to a post-Emacs generation, so here are some alternatives: Hauke (haf) recommends [[Texlipse>>url:http://trac.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/trac/rtsys/wiki/Texlipse||style="text-decoration: none;" shape="rect" class="wiki"]] as an easy-to use and also powerful Eclipse plug-in. Christoph Daniel (cds) recommends using Kile, a KDE LaTeX editor that is fast, powerful, and reasonably easy to understand and to use. On Mac, TeXShop is a fine editor that looks a bitt dated on first glance, but works very well.

15 15  Es kommt häufig vor dass man sich während des Schreibens Anmerkungen zum Text machen oder Dinge später hinzufügen möchte. Damit dies einfacher zu verwalten ist, steht ein extra ToDo-Paket zur Verfügung. Mit diesem Paket lassen sich Platzhalter für Grafiken, Anmerkungen zum Text in verschiedenen Farben oder einfache ToDo-Kommentare mit Referenz zum Text schnell und unkompliziert realisieren. Eingebunden wird das Paket wie folgt.
