While this thesis template supports umlauts, i.e. ÄÖÜäöüß, in the main text of the thesis, there are some issues regarding umlauts on the title page (configured in the personal data at [hdathesis-config.tex](#hdathesis-configtex)). Please see the [umlauts](#umlauts "How to use umlauts in the personal data/on the tile page of the thesis") section for further details and possible solutions.
##### Table of content, figures, tables, listings, and acronyms
By default, the thesis templates prints a lot of table of content, i.e. for figures, tables, listings, and aconyms. You may want to remove such tables if you only have a very limited number, i.e. less then 3-5, of figures, tables, listings, and acronyms. Simply comment the related line in _thesis.tex_ starting at line 81.

#### Umlauts
This thesis templates supports German umlauts in the main text. However, if you need umlauts on the title page, say in your title, your name, and your professor's name, you have to use the native LaTeX way of writing umlauts. Please see the following table:
| Umlaut | LaTeX way |
|--------|-----------|
| Ä | {\"A} |
| Ö | {\"Ö} |
| Ü | {\"Ü} |
| ä | {\"a} |
| ö | {\"o} |
| ü | {\"u} |
| ß | {\ss} |
To write the Title "TOR - Schießen mit Füßen" you have to write "TOR - Schie{\ss}en mit F{\"u}{\ss}en".
### classicthesis-config.tex
The _classicthesis-config.tex_-file allows you to configure stuff that comes with the classic-thesis style, like LaTeX packages used by classic thesis. This is quite advanced stuff already. Thus, you should touch this file only if you know what you are doing. Usually, you can leave the file as it is.
