Glasgow Thesis Template for LaTeX. https://github.com/sdstrowes/Glasgow-Thesis-Template
Stephen D. Strowes, 2011. sdstrowes@gmail.com
This template is built to follow the style guidelines presented in: http://www.lib.gla.ac.uk/enlighten/theses/Thesis%20preparation%20guidelines.pdf
The example document should build correctly by running 'make'.
The University guidelines are loose in places. Primarily:
The front-matter description provided by the University is threadbare, and implies a lot of leeway. I do not include a University crest, as one is not required. The front page is much cleaner if it's text-only.
The dissertation style is not specified. I use the IEEE transactions style mainly because I like it, but it's entirely choice.
Beyond that, I have tried to stick to what is specified. In particular, font sizes, page borders. I stick to the font requirements for chapter & section headings, much as I'd like to change them. Two-sided printing is supported, by changing the "oneside" parameter to "twoside" in header.tex.
The files are as follows:
dissertation.tex, which includes:
header.tex, which includes:
glasgowthesis.cls
abstract.tex
acknowledgements.tex
10-introduction/introduction.tex
10-introduction/thesis_statement.tex
AA-appendix/appendix.tex
footer.tex
There's some stuff in the template that is not strictly necessary to build according to the University guidelines (such as the TLSind/TLSdel definitions used by texdiff; see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/10134/ for why.)
There will be bugs, there will be errors. Please feed them back!
