Dissertate: a LaTeX dissertation template

This package provides all the files needed to support the production and typesetting of a PhD dissertation at Harvard, Princeton, and NYU, though it can easily be adapted to meet the requirements of other schools. The format and styling is based closely on the requirements published by each university's registrar.

Getting started

1. Pick your school by editing line 6 of dissertation.tex to use the option Harvard, Princeton, or NYU, depending on your school.
2. Personalize the document by filling out your name and all the other info in frontmatter/personalize.md.
3. Begin writing your thesis using the chapter files in 'chapters/'

FAQ

How do I make the text justified instead of ragged right?

Remove or comment out the line \RaggedRight from the .cls file.
