[texhax] Ph D dissertation in LaTeX

Hi, Julio.

I wouldn't be surprised if your school alreaqdy has developed its own
document class for this  If not, I'd bet that your school's requirements
are very similar to the requirements of some other's.

So first I'd check with your thesis office, or wherever your person with
the ruler is, and ask them.  I'd also check with some advisors in the
sciences or computer sciences.  I'm sure many of those folks are already
writing their dissertations with LaTeX, so that means the work has already
been done.

But if none of that works, a good place to start is by editing another
schools class.  I like University of Chicago's thesis class (built on
article).

Hope that puts you onto a good start,

bobby
