Resumen
Generalized design report template suitable for project courses such as T-620-ENGX EngineeringX
%%%% This is the general thesis/project report template for most users
\documentclass[showtrims]{rubook}
%% RU Book options (subclass of memoir)
%% a4paper or b5paper(default): paper stock size.
%% If A4, show cut lines. If b5, no cut lines.
%% If you wish to print big text in A4, just output using B5 and use the scaling feature in your printer driver to fill the page
\usepackage[]{ruthesis}
%% Options for ruthesis in []:
%% IS Icelandic is main language, otherwise default to English
%%% Setup citations
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=ieee]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{references.bib}
%%%%%% Packages and Macros %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage{custom}
%% Commonly-used packages and macros are in custom.sty
%% Put any additional packages after this line
%% !!WARNING: The geometry package is incompatible with this template!
\usepackage{lipsum}%provides us with text for testing
%% usage: \lipsum[STARTNUM-ENDNUM]
\graphicspath{{graphics-cropped/}{graphics/}}
%% This is a list of folders to search for graphics files to include
%% for the graphicx package (already loaded). This may be case-sensitive.
%% LaTeX will search from left to right in the list, so you can put "cropped" versions
%% in the first directory and it will grab them first to keep the document smaller. e.g.

\begin{abstract}
The abstract follows the addresses and should give readers concise information about the content of the article and indicate the main results obtained and conclusions drawn.
As the abstract is not part of the text it should be complete in itself; no table numbers, figure numbers, references or displayed mathematical expressions should be included.
It should be suitable for direct inclusion in abstracting services and should not normally exceed 200 words.
The abstract should generally be restricted to a single paragraph.
Since contemporary information-retrieval systems rely heavily on the content of titles and abstracts to identify relevant articles in literature searches, great care should be taken in constructing both (from EDP Science's MATEC Web of Science LaTeX template).
Beal's ``From Prototype to Paper in Six Easy Steps'' suggests answering these questions: What is the problem and who/what does it affect?
What is the general approach to fixing it? (What have others done?)
What was your strategy to improve the situation?
What were your specific accomplishments?
Your succes/failure is confirmed by quantitative results?
For extample, the goal of this template is to produce electronic output to be uploaded to Skemman that can be later printed out and bound into a professional looking textbook that fits on standard library shelves.
It is important to note that A4 paper when bound requires taller shelf spacing, so the B5 paper format was chosen instead.
When binding a book, the edges that face outward need to be very smooth to reduce contamination and dust from entering the book when it sits on a shelf; this is why traditionally a larger paper size is cut down to the book size.
If your print house expects the stock to be A4, then make sure the rubook has the ``a4paper'' option.
If they prefer to deal with preparation themselves from a B5 pdf, then the default ``b5paper'' option is correct.
The template is optimized for lualatex, but should still work with pdflatex.
(If you switch to Icelandic mode (IS option to ruthesis) then abstract will become \'{U}tdr\'{a}ttur)
Thesis have been printed out in December 2023 that were successfully bound into B5 books by local printers.
