Overview

This repository contains our capstone report written in LaTeX. The report is divided into several sections, each available as individual PDF files. Additionally, there is a main PDF that combines all sections together.

---

Files and Structure

The repository is organized as follows:

Main Files

• main.pdf: This is the complete report rendered together.
• intro.pdf: Contains the Abstract, Introduction, and Acknowledgements sections.
• outro.pdf: Includes the Cost section.

Sublatex Folder

Each individual section of the report is stored in the sublatex folder. The structure within this folder is as follows:

• Each section has its own subfolder named after the author or section name.
• Within each subfolder, you will find a PDF file named after the author or section.

For example:

/sublatex/author_name/author_name.pdf

How to Access the Report

LaTeX Document Class: extreport

This project uses the extreport document class, which is an extended version of the standard report class provided by the extsizes package. The extreport class allows for additional font size options (e.g., 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, and 20pt) that are not available in the standard LaTeX classes.

Sectioning Hierarchy

The extreport class follows the same sectioning hierarchy as the report class, but with the added flexibility of larger font sizes. Below is the hierarchy of sectioning commands and their corresponding levels in Microsoft Word:

LaTeX Command	Word Equivalent	Description
\part	No direct equivalent	A high-level division, often used for major sections like "Part I".
\chapter	Heading 1	A major division of the document, typically used for chapters.
\section	Heading 2	A primary subdivision within a chapter or part.
\subsection	Heading 3	A secondary subdivision within a section.
\subsubsection	Heading 4	A tertiary subdivision within a subsection.
\paragraph	Heading 5	A smaller subdivision, often used for paragraphs with titles.
\subparagraph	Heading 6	An even finer subdivision, rarely used but available.

Example Usage

Here’s an example of how the sectioning commands are used in the extreport class:

\documentclass[14pt]{extreport}
