<h1>What is <em>fithesis3</em>?</h1>
<p><em>Fithesis3</em> is a LaTeX document class for the typesetting of theses at the Masaryk University in Brno planned for release in June 2015. The class allows the users to typeset all parts (both compulsory and voluntary) of their theses in a unified manner. Historically, the <em>fithesis</em> classes were primarily used by the students of <ahref="http://www.fi.muni.cz/index.xhtml.en">the Faculty of Informatics</a> and <ahref="http://www.muni.cz/sci?lang=en">the Faculty of Science</a>. However, students of any faculty can, and are very welcome to, use the class.
<p><em>Fithesis3</em> is a fresh new document class for the typesetting of theses using <ahref="https://www.latex-project.org/">the LaTeX document preparation system</a>. Historically, the <em>fithesis</em> classes were used primarily by the students of <ahref="http://www.fi.muni.cz/index.xhtml.en">the Faculty of Informatics</a> and <ahref="http://www.muni.cz/sci?lang=en">the Faculty of Science</a> at the Masaryk University in Brno. With <em>fithesis3</em>, students of any faculty can benefit from the typesetting prowess of LaTeX with a class that was designed for compliance with the requirements of every faculty at the Masaryk University. The students and staff of other academic institutions are encouraged to extend the class to fit their specific requirements.

<p><spanclass="question">Do I still need to concern myself with the thesis formal requirements, if I use <em>fithesis3</em>?</span>
<pclass="question">I tried <em>fithesis3</em> and it seems a bit rough around the edges. Why is that?</p>
Yes, the use of the class does not guarantee the fulfillment of any of the formal requirements of your faculty or department. It does, however, make the task of fulfilling theses requirements easier.</p>
<p><em>Fithesis3</em> is still in active development and currently planned for release in June 2015. If you don't require the bleeding edge features of <em>fithesis3</em>, you are advised to use <ahref="https://www.fi.muni.cz/tech/unix/tex/fithesis.xhtml">the <em>fithesis2</em> class</a>, which is stable and fully documented.</p>
<h1>How do I get started?</h1>
<p>Open an <ahref="https://www.google.cz/search?q=site:overleaf.com+%22fithesis3%22">online <em>fithesis3</em> document template</a> or create a local blank LaTeX file. To perform the basic configuration of the class, refer to the <ahref="https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fithesis/guide/mu">user guides</a>.</p>
<pclass="question">Do I still need to concern myself with the thesis formal requirements, if I use <em>fithesis3</em>?</p>
<p>Yes, the mere use of the class doesn't guarantee the fulfillment of any of the formal requirements, which are outlined on the websites of each respective faculty of the Masaryk University. It does, however, make the task of fulfilling the requirements easier.</p>
