How to use this LaTeX Document

The file dhpaper.tex and the dhpaper.sty style file is the basis of this document. The style file defines the package dhpaper, which contains all package dependencies necessary for the title page, code listings, figures, bibliography, and glossaries. The style file also defines a basic code highlighting style, which can be extended and modified as needed for specific programming languages. For details see the style file itself and documentation of the listings package. Usage examples for every package are given in body.tex, which represents the "Hauptteil" chapter in the sample document.

To create the title page, simply enter your information (adding company and DHBW logos) into the dhpaper.tex file in the title page segment. The dhpaper package adds the following creation commands:

• \maketitlepage - Creates the title page with company and school logos, title of the report, and student and company information. The following information is displayed (and should be set accordingly):

Lists that aren't required (e.g. if you don't have any tables or code listings) should be commented out. If a list is removed at the front, be sure to set the page counter (\setcounter{page}{x}) before the appendix accordingly.
