Awsome video on Thesis writing using LaTeX. Could you please tell me the ways to increase the fontsize of "Chapter number" and "Chapter title" in every chapters.

[@laxmanpoudel4534]

This was a really really helpful video for me as a beginner. One big thing I found would be very helpful to include is the formatting of the margins, the font size/types, and the spacing. You have shown how you put 1.5cm of vspace but, for example, if you need two vertical spaces for the font size 12 on Arial type font?

[@mayukh_bagchi]

Thanks for the feedback I will surely keep this in mind for future videos.

[@wood_pecker_]

wowww...nice

[@mayukh_bagchi]

Thank you!

[@user-jb7eg3mz1n]

Can you help me with the packages? Unfortunately, the packages for font size are not in the description, so I need your help (declaring the packages). Solid tutorials. Good work.

[@mayukh_bagchi]

So a universal font size can be declared right when you create a document (Check 7:34 as I do that). Other than that for controlling individual specific word or letter fonts you can simply use the following : \tiny \scriptsize \footnotesize \small ormalsize \large \Large (note the capital 'L') \LARGE \huge \Huge (the largest size) These do not need any special package! let me know if you have further questions! cheers!

[@OmarAhmed-cx5pk]

Thank you very much for your very informative video. The small problem is that the bibliography list at the end is not sorted alphabetically. How to resolve this? I thank you in advance.

[@mayukh_bagchi]

Try using a different bibliography style like “\bibliographystyle{apa}”

[@mangalanimakananisa6800]

Good day, a great share. I am trying to download the ShareLaTex for windows and I am getting an error message. Can you please advise as to how I can download the ShareLaTex to my laptop?

[@mayukh_bagchi]

Thanks so much! Honestly I donot have any experience using ShareLaTex. I would still recommend you using the standard online Overleaf editor, as its honestly the best. However incase you still need to use an offline Latex editor go with TeXstudio they have a wider community and will help you get started faster.

[@WashingtonOyara-ny8kr]

hey am washing,send me some links to access this templates

[@feelfree1818]

After insert of figure, I want to start new paragraph below it, but it is coming above figure or around figure, How i can fix it?

[@mayukh_bagchi]

I have gone over this in my video briefly, but you have to specify the figure to stay at that particular position passing the [h] parameter after starting the figure. Also, it could be that there is not enough page space left, and Latex is shifting the text accordingly. Keep adjusting the figure size.

[@leogirl5737]

Hey can you list down all the packages that you have used in this tutorial?

[@mayukh_bagchi]

sure, find them here: www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/queens-thesis-template/bvsbgnzbbwbw, open this as a template in Overleaf and copy down the packages as required. Unfortunately, there are a lot of them and it would be inconvenient to copy all of them here.

[@user-vz5yh4zy3y]

same formate handing we can do in Microsoft word. then whats the plus point of using latex? any one please clear it to me

[@mayukh_bagchi]

Using LaTeX offers several advantages over Microsoft Word for handling complex formatting. LaTeX provides precise control over document layout, especially for technical and scientific documents, such as equations, citations, and bibliographies. It allows for consistent styling and automated formatting, which can save time and reduce errors. Additionally, LaTeX documents are text-based, making version control and collaboration easier, especially for large projects or documents with multiple contributors.

[@dirnawab8658]

sir g e page ke top main jo line hy os ko kesa khatam karna hy

[@mayukh_bagchi]

You have to change the page margins most probably.

[@murschid]

Very nice and solid tutorial, though your face placement was a bit annoying!

[@mayukh_bagchi]

I will work on that, thanks for the feedback!
