 ## Usage
 
-- `thesis-example.tex` is the main document
+- `<%= filenames.main %>.tex` is the main document
 - Use "<%= reallatexcompiler %> + <%= bibtextool %>" in your TeX editor or `latexmk  <%= filenames.main %>` / `make` in the command line
 
 ### Using `latexmk`
 
 [latexmk] is a very smart tool for latex compilation.
 It executes the latex tools as often as needed to get the final PDF.
+(More information about why `latexmk` is great can be found at <https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/249243/9075>.)
 
 To build the whole document, execute following command.
 Note that this requires a working perl installation.

+If you want automatic compilation use following command:
+
+```bash
+latexmk -pvc <%= filenames.main %>
+```
+
+This will also open a [Sumatra PDF] and only works with the supplied configuration.
+
+#### latexmk configuration
+
+This repository ships a `.latexmkrc` which is read by latexmk.
+In case there is a `_latexmkrc` file, you need to rename it to `.latexmkrc`.
+It is configured for Windows and especially sets Sumatra PDF as default PDF viewer.
+You can make this local configuration a global configuration, when you put it at [the right place](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/41149/9075).
+
+If you want to add more packages, configure it there.
+For instance, for support of makeglossaries see <http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1226/how-to-make-latexmk-use-makeglossaries>.
+
+### Debugging LaTeX errors
+
 In case something goes wrong, you can instruct the LaTeX compiler to stop at the first error:
 
 ```bash
-<%= reallatexcompiler %> <%= filenames.main %>
+<%= reallatexcompiler %> --synctex=1 --shell-escape <%= filenames.main %>
 ```
 
+Run `<% if (bibtextool == "biblatex") { %>biber<% } else { %>bibtex<% } %> <%= filenames.main %>` to get the bibliography rendered (execute `lualatex` afterwards).

+### Q: I was recommended the Harvard style
+
+This template uses the alphabetic style.
+That style is explained at the [biblatex documentation](http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/latex/biblatex/biblatex.pdf) on page 60:
+
+> The alphabetic labels resemble a compact author-year
+> style to some extent, but the way they are employed is similar to a numeric citation
+> scheme. For example, instead of “Jones 1995” this style would use the label “[Jon95]”.
+> “Jones and Williams 1986” would be rendered as “[JW86]”.
+
+We are aware that the University of Stuttgart [recommends to use the Hardvard style](https://ilias3.uni-stuttgart.de/ilias.php?ref_id=12257&from_page=11895&obj_id=11896&cmd=layout&cmdClass=illmpresentationgui&cmdNode=dn&baseClass=ilLMPresentationGUI).
+However, this style is not common in natural sciences and information science.

+
+1. Select the Excel chart you want to use.
+2. Print to PDF with the option "Print Selected Chart".
+3. Remove empty space of the created PDF page with `pdfcrop chart.pdf chart_cropped.pdf` (install via MikTeX first, if not available; check via `pdfcrop --version`).
+4. Use [pdfscissors](https://sites.google.com/site/pdfscissors) to crop the borders and title (maybe you have to allow <https://sites.google.com> in the Java security center in the control panel).

+### Q: How do I change the appearance of chapter headings?

+
+### Q: Aren't there other templates?
+
+Sure. The [Hagenberg Thesis Document Collection](https://github.com/Digital-Media/HagenbergThesis) seems to be the most promising.
+However, they currently do not support microtype and not the cover of the University of Stuttgart.
+
+We are collecting alternatives at the issue [#25](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-template/issues/25) and plan to add a comparison to each other template.
+
+### Q: Do I have to do something special for the final version?
+
+- If you included some version control statements, please remove them. Currently, the template does not support any, but it used to support SVN.
+- By using `\largepage` and `\shortpage`, single lines at the bottom or at the top of the page can be manually fixed.
+- Search the PDF for "TODO" or similar things. Remove `\usepackage{todonotes}` in your main `.tex` file.
+- Ensure that you run `lualatex` at least three times and that there are no "undefined references".
+- The margins are intended for good screen reading. **Do not change them** (or do exactly know what you are doing).

+# Recommended LaTeX environments
+
+## TeXStudio as LaTeX Editor
+
+Grammar and spell checking is available at [TeXstudio].
+Please download [LanguageTool] and [configure TeXstudio to use it](http://wiki.languagetool.org/checking-la-tex-with-languagetool#toc4).
+Note that it is enough to point to `languagetool-server.jar`.
+![language-tool-configuration](texstudio-configuration-languagetool.png)
+
+The template is compiled using normal compilation commands.
+Your LaTeX environment (such as [TeXStudio]) should take care about the compilation transparently.
+
+If you open `main-minted-german.tex`, there will be a warning that the compilation command will be overridden.
+Please answer `(a) allow for this document`:
+
+![allow --shell-escape for this document](texstudio-confirmation-1.png)
+
+At "Build & View", there will be a question to update to biber.
+Please answer `(a) allow for this document`:
+
+![allow biber for this document](texstudio-confirmation-2.png)
+
+When the "Package Installation" dialog pops up at TeXStudio, choose your username at "The package will be installed for:" and uncheck "Always show this dialog before installing packages."
+If you want to include .svg graphics, [inkscape] has to be in your path.
+
+**Attention!** The first compilation will take **at least 30 seconds**, because there will be some LaTeX packages installed.
+
+**If TeXstudio doesn't fit your need, check [the list of all available LaTeX Editors](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339/latex-editors-ides).**
+
+## JabRef for managing literature
+
+Use [JabRef] to manage your bibliography.
+Quick installation using [Chocolatey]: `choco install texstudio languagetool jabref`.
+
+A comparison to other literature management software is available at <https://ultimate-comparisons.github.io/ultimate-reference-management-software-comparison/>.
+See [LaTeX Editors/IDEs question on TeX.SX](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339/latex-editors-ides) for a complete list of LaTeX editors.
+
+## Installation hints for Ubuntu
+
+- From Ubuntu 18.10 onwards, the basic version of the template works without issues.
+  Advanced usages such as cool syntax highlighting with [minted](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/minted) needs more configuration.
+- Ubuntu 16.04 [ships biber 2.4](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/biber/+bug/1589644), so you have to upgrade your texlive distribution.
+  The easiest way is to uninstall the ubuntu package and use [install-tl-ubuntu](https://github.com/scottkosty/install-tl-ubuntu).
+  Then, you can follow the instructions given at <http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/55459/9075> to update your texlive distribution.
+  If you do not want to have an updated installation, but fiddle around with dirty patching your installation, please follow  <http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/84624/how-to-upgrade-biblatex-properly>.
+
+Always working solution: Use the [docker image](https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive#tex-live-docker-image).
+This provides a perfectly configured latex distribution with all required tools.
+
+1. Execute `sudo visudo` to edit the sudoers file
+1. Add the line `myusername ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/docker`. Replace `myusername` accordingly. (Source: <https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/13058/18033>)
+1. Execute `sudo docker pull registry.gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive:latest`.
+   This should not ask for any password.
+   Will download approx. 4GB.
+1. Open TeXstudio
+1. Options > Configure TeXstudio > Commands
+1. Set "PdfLaTeX" to `docker run --rm -v DIROFTEXDOCUMENT:DIROFTEXDOCUMENT --workdir=DIROFTEXDOCUMENT registry.gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive:latest pdflatex --shell-escape -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex`, replace `DIROFTEXDOCUMENT` by the directory of your latex document. Example: `/home/user/thesis`.
+1. Set "LuaLaTeX" to `docker run --rm -v DIROFTEXDOCUMENT:DIROFTEXDOCUMENT --workdir=DIROFTEXDOCUMENT registry.gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive:latest lualatex --shell-escape -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex`, replace `DIROFTEXDOCUMENT` by the directory of your latex document. Example: `/home/user/thesis`.
+1. Set "Biber" to `docker run --rm -v DIROFTEXDOCUMENT:DIROFTEXDOCUMENT --workdir=DIROFTEXDOCUMENT registry.gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive:latest biber %`, replace `DIROFTEXDOCUMENT` by the directory of your latex document. Example: `/home/user/thesis`.
+1. Check if the "docker pull" command from step 3 succeed. If not, wait.
+1. Try to press the "Compile" (<kbd>F6</kbd>) button in TeXstudio.
+
+## Installation hints for Windows
+
+Note: The default installation of MiKTeX might ship with incompatible biblatex and biber packages.
+**You have to keep your MiKTeX up to date.**
+In case you followed the linked installation steps, you only have to run "Update MiKTeX".
+If you installed MiKTeX other ways, you have to run "Update MiKTeX (Admin)" and "Update MiKTeX" and check in both tools for updates (see <http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/108490/9075>).
+  
+### Preparations
+
+1. Install [chocolatey]:
+    1. Open `cmd.exe` as Administartor
+    2. Paste and hit <kbd>Enter</kbd> `@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"`
+1. Execute `choco feature enable -n=allowGlobalConfirmation` to get rid off additional installation confirmations.
+1. Execute `choco install texstudio sumatrapdf.install strawberryperl jre8 jabref languagetool` to install necessary tooling.
+1. In case [PlantUML](http://plantuml.com/) should be used, follow the installation instructions at <https://koppor.github.io/plantuml/> listed at the "pre-conditions" section.
+1. For more recommended tooling see <https://github.com/koppor/koppors-chocolatey-scripts>.
+
+### Recommended setup of MiKTeX
+
+1. Download the basic installer from <http://miktex.org/download>
+1. Start it
+1. First screen: Read the license conditions and be sure that you really agree.
+    - Check "I accept the MiKTeX copying conditions"
+    - Click "Next"
+1. Second screen: "Shared Installation": Install MiKTeX for: "Only for: `username`".
+    - Check first option
+    - Click "Next"
+1. Third screen: "Installation Directory": Install MiKTeX to: `C:\MiKTeX`. This enabled browsing for documentation at `C:\MiKTeX29\doc\latex`
+    - Input "C:\MiKTeX" in the input field
+    - Click "Next"
+1. Fourth screen: "Settings": Preferred paper: A4 and install missing packages on the fly.
+    - First combo box: "A4"
+    - Second combo box: "Yes":
+    - Click "Next"
+1. Fifth screen: Press "Start"
+1. Now a window "Executing" appears. It will take about 5 minutes until this is finished.
+1. At the last screen: Click "Close"
+1. After the installation:
+     1. Open `cmd.exe`
+     2. Execute `refreshenv` to make MiKTeX's binaries known right after the installation
+     3. Execute `mpm --update-db`
+     4. Execute `mpm --update`
+     5. Execute `mpm --install=tex-gyre` (to resolve `fontspec error: "font-not-found"`, `\setmainfont{TeX Gyre Termes}`)
+     6. Execute `mpm --install=tex-gyre-math`
+     7. Execute `mpm --install=cm-super`
+     8. Execute `initexmf --update-fndb` (ensure that no other MiKTeX tooling such as the [MiKTeX Console](https://miktex.org/howto/miktex-console) is run in parallel - see <https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/98#issuecomment-375952270>)
+     9. Execute `initexmf --mklinks --force`
