I am a latex newbie and working on my PhD thesis. Someone told me I could use his template. This means you have a `master' file that codes it includes all other files (title, chapter1, chapter2, acknowledgments, ...).
I am not using this template, but i did find the title-generator very pretty.
When i try to include it into my latex-file, it gives an error on something about \resizebox.
I was wondering if there is a way to include this into my phd-tex file (by means of \include{title}).
This is the title file:
