UCF Thesis and Dissertation of LaTeX 2e (v. 3.x)

David Ellis, [e-mail]

Dissertation writing process:

1. Provided is an example dissertation (paper.tex) that breaks each chapter into separate files (essentially an early outline of my own dissertation). Modify as necessary.

2. If not using a LaTeX IDE such as Kile or TexMaker, the manual compilation process is as follows:

   pdflatex paper

   bibtex paper

   pdflatex paper

Included below is the original README from the author who did the majority of the legwork.

Ivan garibay, [e-mail]

Important

There is some manual processing required to fully comply with the UCF Thesis Editor. Please read. If you automate this process I would like to know about it.

To compile you thesis:

START

1. latex paper

2. bibtex paper

3. latex paper

4. Edit the file "paper.out" to include the command "\let\WriteBookmarks\relax" and the word "CHAPTER " on the appropriate chapter bookmarks. Please see the template file provided "EXAMPLE OF EDITED paper.out"

5. latex paper

6. dvipdfm paper END

NOTE: The command "\let\WriteBookmarks\relax" included in the "paper.out" file indicate latex to do not update "paper.out". To recompile:

A. [If there are no changes in your chapters] To recompile your thesis you can skip the step 4 from above.

B. [If there are changes in your chapters] To recompile first delete "paper.out", then follow all the steps 1 to 6.
