Quoting point 8 from your post on LaTeX Tips:

8. Figures should go under subdirectory images in the root folder. Here, too, you should use subdirectories for each chapter to organize your work

changing
\usepackage[width=.95\textwidth]{caption} % set the width of the captions
to
\usepackage[width=.95\linewidth]{caption} % set the width of the captions

in the file:
um.cls
does fix this, without impacting single column layout.

Dear Creators,

I am Master students at University of Passau and I am in the process of writing my master thesis. I came across this nice template and would like to ask if I am allowed to use it. I know this is not the correct platform to ask this but I could not find any other means.

thank you.

Can you help me with this? How can I add the link to the DOI in the references? It only appears for the references with URL

The link of the Deadly sins url is outdated. Since the PDF seems to be hosted on mirrors, I suggest adding the CTAN url https://ctan.org/tex-archive/info/l2tabu/english/?lang=en instead of a direct link to the PDF.

Hi J,

First of all, thank you for this amazing LaTeX template. I have one issue:

1. I have changed the references style to IEEETR from UM-PLAINNAT in order to use the references like : This figure is taken from [x].

References
[x] This is the references I was referring to.

but the issue is the reference in the text show like: This figure is taken from (x) instead of [x].

Thanks,
D

First of all, I would like that to thank you for the work that you put into this template.

I needed to change the font as I was finding the current one hard to read. I swapped it with the same font's Times-New-Roman counterpart by commenting out line 28 of um-fict.cls and replacing all instances of \sffamily with \rmfamily (this was needed to update the sections and subsections font).

Do you happen to know if these changes will cause any edge cases or bugs in the formatting? If not, I would appreciate if the repo's readme included the steps needed to exact these changes.

Hi! I'm using this template for my master's thesis, and I've noticed that the footnote numbering restarts every chapter, but my supervisor recommended that I keep the numbering continuous throughout the thesis. How could I change this to stop the numbering from restarting at every chapter?
