First let me thank you, you've saved my life with your template. I'm a total newbie and it's taken me hours of youtube videos, and google searching and experimenting to get a few essential modifications.

Problem number 1:

I wanted to add a "colegio" under the "facultad" (So that under the "Facultad de Filosofía y Letras" a "Colegio de Letras Modernas" would appear), and add a subtitle to the thesis title (Preferably in a smaller font).

My only solution was to add to the already existing fields in the tesis.tex

First a:

\hspace{4cm} \small{Subtítulo}

so I got

\title{Título: \hspace{4cm} \small{Subtítulo}}

An then a

\hspace{4cm} Colegio de Letras Clásicas

So I got:

\facultad{Facultad de Filosofía y Letras \hspace{4cm} Colegio de Letras Clásicas}

Is not perfect, but I got what I wanted. So I would kindly ask if its possible for you to adapt the PhDthesisPSnPDF.cls file so as to make these simple changes more easy for total noobs like me.

Problem 2:

Since I'm always on the run and have to write hurriedly I upload your package to Overleaf (and to Share Latex for that matter) But some of the files
ARCHIVOS NO IMPORTADOS AL OVERLEAF.pdf did not get uploaded on either of the sites. Somehow it still works just fine in Overleaf so I keep writing and hoping that it will not suddenly fail to compile or something. Are they important?

Would you consider uploading your template to Overleaf or Sharelatex?

Problem 3:

Since I'm no engineer most of the packages (I think) are of little to no use to me, it would be very kind and useful to beginners if they were more organized. (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/reledmac is for example one of the few that are invaluable to me)

Problem 4:

There are a lot of blank pages in between sections, chapters, indexes, acknowledgements etc. How can they be removed?

Thanks in advance

Thank you for using this template, I'm glad it was helpful. About the issues you're bringing to the table:

    • I was not aware of this extra space, I'll make some room for it
    • That's a problem on my side, I should have included a gitignore file to stop this files from merging into the git, I'll fix it, they are only temporary files, don't worry about them.
    • You're right, it would make this template way more flexible, it will be so on the next version.
    • The blank pages can be caused by two reasons:
  • The template is intended for double-sided printing, so half of them are the blank back of another page.
  • If you're not using "Dedicatoria", "Agradecimientos", "Declaración de autenticidad" and "Resumen", you should comment them out, otherwise they will add 8 blank pages to your document.

Hi Tepexic, is there a way to remove the blank pages between sections, chapters, indexes, acknowledgements, etc?
I noted that the page number count the blank pages, so it is a little messy.

Thanks!
