And thesis.tex is basically just a preamble followed by input{chapters/chapter1} and all the other chapters.

No, a single super-document, easier to "back up" which is why in the same folder there are also "thesis_final.tex", "thesis_final_revised.tex", "thesis_final_revised_v2.tex", "thesis_final_revised_v2_final.tex"

Just use git... One of the huge advantages of latex over docx is its easy diffability

How about thesis.typ?

It could have been a thesis.md

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 14 points 2 months ago

That is where it starts, not where it ends.

Id look like that if I was using Microsoft software, too.

Try renaming it thesis_final-draft_v.6.9_final_FINAL.docx

[–] Schorsch@feddit.org 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It gets better when you convert it to thesis.odt.

Not when your advisor converts it back to docx before sending you comments.
