MTT is a modular thesis layout for Typst. It provides a configurable cover page and reusable pages for abstracts, contents, figures, tables, code samples, todos, acronyms, bibliographies, and appendices.

Usage

Import the package and apply mtt-thesis as a show rule:

#import "@preview/mtt-thesis:0.1.0": *

#show: mtt-thesis.with(
  coverpage: mtt-coverpage(
    org-units: ("Department of Everything",),
    title: [A Very Inspiring Title],
    project-type: "Bachelor Thesis",
    authors: ((name: "Jane Doe", email: "janedoe@university.org"),),
  ),
  before: (
    mtt-abstract[This is the abstract.],
    mtt-toc(),
  ),
  after: (
    mtt-figures(),
    mtt-tables(),
    mtt-bibliography(
      bibliography("references.bib"), // requires this file existing
    ),
  ),
)

= Introduction

Your thesis starts here.

A complete example is available in example.typ. It demonstrates all modules and can be copied as a starting point for a thesis. Its bibliography data is in references.bib (using a standard BibTeX file).

Modules

• mtt-thesis: Apply the thesis layout, configure margins and localization, and insert content before and after the main body.
• mtt-coverpage: Create a cover page with logos, organizational units, title, authors, advisors, professors, project type, date, and cover image.
• mtt-abstract: Add an abstract page.
• mtt-toc: Add a table of contents.
• mtt-figures: Add a list of figures for a figure kind.
• mtt-tables: Add a list of tables.
• mtt-codes: Add a list of code samples.
• mtt-todos: Add a list of todos.
• mtt-acronyms: Add an acronym index. This requires acrostiche.
