LaTeX C.U. Thesis Class documentation

1. Overview

The overall structure of a thesis LaTeX file is

\documentclass[ options ]{thesis}
    prologue commands
\begin{document}
    chapter 1, chapter 2, etc.
    bibliography
    appendix A, appendix B, etc.
\end{document}

2. Prologue Page commands

All the prologue pages of the thesis, everything before chapter 1, are generated by LaTeX using the information you provide in the prologue commands. Some are required (e.g., title, author, department) and some are optional (e.g., dedication, acknowledgements)

3. Class Options

The style options for thesis class allow you to choose from among some permitted variations in the look of your thesis, especially how headings are formatted and numbered.

4. New and Altered Commands

Some LaTeX commands which work with report class have been disabled in thesis class, and some have been added or altered.
