+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+There are two versions of the template -- Czech (directory "cs")
+and English ("en").
+
+Requirements on formatting of bachelor theses are given by Dean's directives
+4/2019, 1/2015, and 7/2016, and by the Rector's directive 72/2017. Other
+guidelines can be found in the example.pdf file. This LaTeX template follows
+the directives; it also tries to emphasize important points in comments. Still,
+we advise you to read the complete rules.
+
+If you are not familiar with LaTeX yet, you can find numerous tutorials on
+the Web. One example we like is http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX.
+
+Basic typographical settings can be found in thesis.tex, which also refers
+to all other files containing individual chapters. Please read the main file
+carefully and fill in the thesis name, author, and other identifiers. You also
+need to update the meta-data file thesis.xmpdata.
+
+The Czech version contains several example chapters with hints on typesetting
+of common expressions. There are not available in the English version yet,
+sorry.
+
+The electronic version of your thesis must be submitted to SIS. It must
+conform to the PDF/A-1a or -2u standard. This template produces PDF/A-2u
+using the pdfx LaTeX package (https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx).
+Please note that many installations of TeX have this package either obsolete
+or broken. So we advise to download the current version of the package and
+unpack it to tex/pdfx/.
+
+Our FAQ on producing PDF/A is currently available in Czech only, but if you
+encounter any problems, please ask Martin Mareš for advice.
+
+If you are using Windows, beware that MikTeX contains old versions of some
+(mostly mathematical) fonts, which leads to improper PDF/A output. We have
+much better experience with the TeXlive distribution.
+
+If you are using a UNIX system, you might want to use our example Makefile --
+just run "make" to process all files by TeX.
+
+You can also run TeX manually. In this case, you should use pdfTeX and also
+BibTeX for generating bibliography. (The usual order is: pdflatex, bibtex,
+and then pdflatex twice to get cross-references right. Alternatively, you
+can use latexmk.)
+
+The current development version of this template and other hints on writing
+theses can be found at http://mj.ucw.cz/vyuka/bc/.
