XDUTS (Xidian University TeX Suite)

XDUTS (Xidian University TeX Suite) is a LaTeX3 document class and package suite designed for Xidian University students to typeset proposals, theses, and other academic documents. It is compatible with XeLaTeX and can be used on Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux, Overleaf, and TeXPage.

Included components:

• xdufont.sty: Xidian University Font package
• xduugtp.cls: Undergraduate Thesis Proposal document class
• xdupgthesis.cls: Postgraduate Thesis document class
• xduugthesis.cls: Undergraduate Thesis document class

If you are using a local TeX distribution (TeX Live, MacTeX, or MiKTeX), you can install XDUTS through your package manager. After installation, you can view the documentation using texdoc xduts.

For Overleaf or TeXPage: Since these platforms do not allow direct package manager updates, you must manually upload the necessary files:

1. Download the document class/package files.
2. Download the documentation.
3. Upload these files directly to your project on Overleaf or TeXPage.

Before installing XDUTS, ensure your LaTeX distribution is up to date.

For TeX Live or MacTeX: Run the following command to update all packages and the manager itself. You may need Administrator privileges on Windows or sudo on macOS/Linux.

tlmgr update --all --self

For MiKTeX: Run the following command to update all installed packages:

miktex packages update

To use the latest version of XDUTS, install it directly from the GitHub repository:

1. Download the repository as a ZIP file from GitHub.
2. Extract the files and navigate to the folder in your terminal.
3. Run the following commands to generate the package files and build the documentation:

xetex xduts.ins
l3build doc
