LaTeX Files

Thanks to several colleagues, the Graduate School is now able to offer formatting files for the LaTeX typesetting system.

Some important instructions:

1. Put all of the files into the same directory, preferably a pristine directory with no other hidden or visible files.
2. Modify the files whose names begin in lowercase. Renaming is acceptable as long as mydissertation.tex (which could be renamed anything that's legal) is modified accordingly.
3. Make more chapter?.tex files and appendix?,tex files for additional chapters and appendices.

For a dissertation with figures, lists of figures, and so on, some modifications to UNTdissertation.sty might be necessary.

Here are the files. With the exception of the .pdf example pages, all are text files. The easiest would be to right-click each file and download.

• UNTamsplain.bst - The file that controls the format of the entries in the bibliography.
• UNTdissertation.sty - The file that contains modifications to the standard amsbook style to conform with UNT style
• acknowledgements.tex - No explanation needed
• bibliography.bib - The source file for the bibliography, in BiBTeX format
• chapter1.tex and chapter2.tex - Sample chapters
• macros.tex - File called by the master file (mydissertation.tex) and containing the macros.
  

  (The macros could be included in the master file, but it's cleaner if they aren't.)

• mydissertation.tex - The master file that actually gets "texed" (or typeset)
• mydissertationCM.pdf - What pdftex generates when it's fed mydissertation.tex without choosing the sans serif option
• mydissertationSS.pdf - What pdftex generates when it's fed mydissertation.tex with the sans serif option.
  

  (This PDF might look less than pretty. Blame it on the particular computer it was generated on, not on the style files.)
