It would also be nice if the title could be automatically displayed in an upside-down pyramid form, which would mitigate the need for manually determining where the appropriate spacing should be placed in the title field.
Thanks.
I created a command \covertitle
just for the title on the cover page.
Changing the frontmatter title field unfortunately changes the titles on pages (iii) and (iv). This might not be a problem for page (iv) depending on the structure of the title, but it uses the wrong indentation for page (iii) regardless.
I created a file "frontmatter2.tex" and added this content:
\newcommand{\covertitle}[0]{Multi-line Thesis Title Following The\\ \vspace{3.5mm}Upside-Down Pyramid Format}
I included "frontmatter2.tex" from "main.tex" (around line 116, line number might not be exactly right because I added other things to my "main.tex"):
% Declarations for Front Matter
\input{frontmatter}
\input{frontmatter2} % XXX formatting workarounds
I made these changes to "ucthesis.cls" (lines 336-348):
\MakeTextUppercase{\covertitle} % XXX \title -> \covertitle [https://github.com/CalPolyCSC/thesis-template/issues/36]
% or another variation would be:
% \textsc{\@title}
%\vfill\null
\addvspace{1.15in} % XXX 1.4 -> 1.15 [https://github.com/CalPolyCSC/thesis-template/issues/27]

The
\title
field in "frontmatter.tex" https://github.com/CalPolyCSC/thesis-template/blob/3699f204b16ec80aa11b00ea79b5237b266ab02b/frontmatter.tex#L1 will need to be manually spaced-out for multi-line titles, like soThis can cause other spacing problems where the
\title
field is used by default such as on the Abstract Page (iv), which also has a related spacing issue raised here as Issue https://github.com/CalPolyCSC/thesis-template/issues/34.
