Aix-Marseille University's LaTeX class for theses is a full class based on KOMA-script, featuring AMU's mandatory frontmatter (cover, affidavit, etc.) together with many layout utilities. However, some people (e.g. me) use their own layout and just want to add the AMU cover. Extracting only the necessary material is the purpose of this fork. (AMU used to provide this, but inexplicably removed their repo.)

It contains :

• a package titre-preamble.sty containing preliminary work to be included in your preamble,
• a file titre.tex containing the cover,
• the necessary fonts and logos,
• a file main.tex that just produces a sample cover.

Description of the sample main.tex

This sample document shows how the AMU cover can be added to a document. By default, it should be compiled by running

xelatex main.tex

or

latexmk

in the root folder of the repository. lualatex should also work, even though not tested.

In case you really want to use pdflatex (why would you?), you just need to modify main.tex by

• commenting the line loading fontsetup,
• uncommenting the block loading fonts and Unicode support for pdflatex.

How to include the cover in your thesis

1. Download (or clone) this repository in the folder where you are writing your thesis.
   In case you are working in a git repository, you can also add it as a submodule.
2. In the preamble of the LaTeX source of your thesis, add

   \usepackage{latexamu-cover-only/titre-preamble}

   (and change the path to titre-preamble.sty according to your setup).
   This should be done after any font declaration if you are using fontspec (since the package changes the default font features).
   By default, the fonts are looked for in the folder ./latexamu-cover-only/fonts/, starting from where your main LaTeX file is stored. If you want to explicitely specify a path to the fonts folder, you can use

   \usepackage[fontspath=./path/to/fonts/]{latexamu-cover-only/titre-preamble}

   (see main.tex for an example).
3. After your \begin{document}, add

   \input{latexamu-cover/titre}

   (again, adapt the path if necessary).
