	Hello everyone! This thesis template is made for a seminar, bachelor, or master thesis. I will try to give you some examples of how to make your customer things. You will find them in the \seclink{sec:anotherSection}{Example Section} (see section \ref{sec:anotherSection}). More information, credits, references, license etc. can be found in the GitHub Repository\urlfootnote{https://github.com/mhellmeier/LaTeX-Thesis-Template}.

	\section{Literature Review}\label{sec:literatureReview}
	
	You can add your custom \ac{RQ} and use it in your document with \texttt{\textbackslash researchquestion}: \emph{\researchquestion}

	\subsection{Content}
	Some information about the content. You can make your text \textbf{bold} or \emph{italic}. You are also able to make some inline math (like $f(x)=m*x+b$ or $\frac{1}{2}$) or coding fonts (\texttt{yourCustomMethod()}). If you want to add additional sources, you can try to cite them directly in the text, like the popular publication \citet{hawking.1973}, or at the end of your sentence \citep[p.~1]{hawking.1973}. You are also able to make a blockquote:
	\blockquote{\grqq The result of design-science research in \acs{IS} is, by definition, a purposeful IT artifact created to address an important organizational problem. It must be described effectively, enabling its implementation and application in an appropriate domain\grqq\ \citep[p.~82]{hevner.2004}.}
	
	Sometimes you want to put additional information in a footnote\footnote{Great! You found the footnote!} or just a clickable URL\urlfootnote{https://github.com/mhellmeier/LaTeX-Thesis-Template}. I also added a crossref command like \seclink{sec:introduction}{Introduction} (you can click on the word \grqq \seclink{sec:introduction}{Introduction}\grqq). This is also possible for figures and tables, like \imglink{fig:figure1} or \tablelink{tab:table2}.\todo{Another ToDo option}
	
	\todo[inline]{Individual ToDo for hints during editing.}
	
	When working with acronyms, simply put them in the \texttt{acronyms.tex} file. Then you can use them, like \ac{AI} or \ac{ML}. They will be defined at their first usage. If you add \ac{AI} and \ac{ML} again, it will only show the short form. But you can force to use the long form of \acl{AI}, too.
