 # LaTex Boilerplate
 
 This is a simple preconfigured boilerplate for medium-sized LaTex projects including continuous integration for GitLab CI.

 ## Basic Structure
 The main entry point for the document compilation is the file `main.tex` in the repo root.
 Besides setting some common parameters for the document (like author name, title, date etc.), the basic document structure is created here (mostly by including seperate files) in the following order:
 
-* configuration (`configuration/config.tex`)
-* title page (`config/title.tex`)
+* configuration (`config/config.tex`)
+* title page (`additionals/title.tex`)
 * table of contents
-* list of acronyms (`config/abkuerzungen.tex`)
+* list of acronyms (`additionals/acronyms.tex`)
 * list of figures
 * list of tables
 * list of code listings
 * chapter files (`chapter/*`, needs to be filled up manually)
-* bibliography (`config/quellenverzeichnis.tex`, using the entries defined in `library/library.bib`)
-* declaration of authorship (`config/ehrenwoertliche_erklaerung.tex`)
+* bibliography (`config/references.tex`, using the entries defined in `library/library.bib`)
+* declaration of authorship (`additionals/affirmation.tex`)
 
 If you don't need one of the predefined document parts or want to omit it, simply remove or comment out the corresponding statements in `main.tex`.

+The `scrbook` document class provides the following elements (in said order) to outlining a document:

+There are certain LaTex environments that cause huge paragraph distances in combination with the `onehalfspacing` option (1.5 line height).
+For that reason you may wrap such environments (e.g. lists, images, tables, paragraphs etc.) with a `vspace`:
