Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Can you help me to set up my text editor in order to compile

[templateuser]

The format of the book is what I was looking for but now I am a little frustrated because I cannot even compile it correctly. I just download biber but I do not know what to do with it. I use texmaker. How can I set up the conditions:
1) pdflatex main

2) makeindex main.idx -s StyleInd.ist

3) biber main

4) pdflatex main x 2

Please help me.

Hi,

In general, you can compile the template from Texmaker using Build which (I assume) will use pdflatex automatically. You only need to worry about makeindex and biber when you want to update your index or bibliography. When you want to do this, you need to open Terminal (Linux/Mac OS) or Command Prompt (Windows) and navigate to the directory of the template. Once there, you just type makeindex main.idx -s StyleInd.ist or biber main. You can then recompile from within Texmaker as usual. Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Hi,

thanks for your answer, but I'm still have the same problem. When I try to compile the following error appears:

error line 183: ! Undefined control sequence. \newmdenv

I don't have idea of what is happening. I'm using windows 7. Do you know what can the problem be?

Hi,

What happens when you skip the errors?

I'd recommend you update your LaTeX distribution to the newest version and also update your packages. Older versions of packages can cause issues with some of the larger templates, like this one.

Hi,

I updated Mixtek and then the problem was solved! Sorry for waste your time and thank you for your work!

Awesome! Updating tends to fix a lot of problems
