Harvard abstract should be double spaced

[lazovich]

According to the latest "Form of the dissertation" guidelines, the abstract should be double spaced. This isn't true in the version of the Harvard template that I have (though given I started writing in the fall I am a bit out of date now).

See page 15 of https://www.gsas.harvard.edu/images/stories/pdfs/form%20of%20dissertation.pdf

The body of the Harvard thesis should also be double-spaced, but it looks like it's only 1.2-spaced in the template. Are we supposed to uncomment this line from dissertation.tex?

% \doublespacing

[lazovich]

Yes, I uncommented that line to get doublespacing in the main text, but it still leaves the abstract single spaced. I solved the abstract problem by wrapping my abstract in a \begin{doublespace} ... \end{doublespace} block.

You could edit Dissertate.cls and add the parameter doublespacing to the package setspace. \RequirePackage[doublespacing]{setspace}

I address this issue in #52.

Should this be closed? It looks like it's been addressed in #52.
