hepthesis — a LaTeX class for PhD theses
hepthesis is a LaTeX class developed for writing PhD theses. In
particular, it was originally written for my PhD thesis in
particle physics and has since been somewhat tweaked. Things
that hepthesis can do for you include:
- "Semantic" commands for title pages, preface, etc.
- Automatic inclusion of lots of things that you "should" want to use :-)
- Auto-centered figures etc.
- Macros for chapter and thesis quotes
- Pretty default margins, for binding, screen-viewing etc.
- Draft mode with line numbering
- Maths in section titles goes bold where appropriate. And only
where it's appropriate...
- Automatic (but optional) hyperlinking of PDF output
- Titles can (easily) either be serif or sans-serif
- Makes toast, finds missing socks, etc.
