Frequently Asked Questions

1. How to make all the chapters start in an odd numbered page?

Add

\openright

2. How to rename the List ofSomething to List of Whatever?

Since version "6.9.12", the NOVAthesis template supports the redefinition of important strings with

\ntlangsetup{LANG/MACRO=New value}

for example

\ntlangsetup{pt/contents=O Índice}
\ntlangsetup{en/listfigure=The List of Figures}
\ntlangsetup{pt/acronym=Siglas e Acrónimos}

Just find out the right name for the macro you want to redefine, and then use the commands above in file Config/5_packages.tex.

\label{cha:my_chapter}
\begin{refsection}
% … chapter contents …
\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography, segment=\therefsegment, title={\bibname\ for Chapter~\thechapter}]
\end{refsection}
