What is IITJ MTP Template Generator?

A Python-based tool that builds a structured LaTeX project from simple configuration files: your title, name, supervisor, and other settings, plus section shells you must fill in (abstract, chapters, acknowledgments, and more). It does not write your report content for you. Perfect for students and researchers who need to create:

• 📄 Proposal Reports (MTP1/Research Proposals)
• 📚 Major Project Reports (Full Thesis/Dissertation)
• 🎤 Presentation Slides (Beamer)

Key Features

✅ Easy to Use - Interactive CLI or YAML configuration
✅ Professional Templates - IEEE-style formatting
✅ Fully Customizable - Modify templates to match your needs
✅ Well Documented - Comprehensive guides and examples
✅ Zero Dependencies Option - Works without pip

Quick Example

Option 1: Web-based Configuration (Easiest)

No command line needed! Use the interactive web generator to:

• Fill in your project details visually
• Preview your config.yaml in real-time
• Download the config file directly
• Then run python scripts/generate.py --config config.yaml

Option 2: Command Line

# Install dependencies
pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt

# Generate a proposal report
python scripts/generate.py --config examples/sample-proposal/config.yaml

# Compile to PDF
cd output/your-project
pdflatex proposal.tex

Getting Started

1. Simple guide for beginners - Plain language: what you install, what you get, template PDF vs final PDF
2. Quick Start Guide - Get up and running in 5 minutes
3. CI/CD Auto-Compilation - Automatic PDF generation with GitHub Actions
4. Input Schema - Learn about configuration options
5. Customization Guide - Personalize your templates
6. FAQ - Common questions and troubleshooting

Example Output

The generator creates a complete LaTeX project with:

• All necessary .tex files
• Bibliography with example entries
• [TODO] / % TODO markers where you add real content
• Compilation instructions
• Template-specific README

Note: Building a PDF immediately after generation shows formatting and layout; the text is still placeholder until you edit every section. That early PDF is a preview, not your final submission.

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• LaTeX distribution (TeX Live, MiKTeX, or MacTeX)
• Optional: Jinja2 and PyYAML (or use zero-dependency version)
