Style File Templates and Repositories for ETD 

A former ÊÖ»ú¿´Æ¬ student created a LaTeX repository and style file. It has a lot of helpful information on how to navigate LaTeX and align with ÊÖ»ú¿´Æ¬â€™s Institutional guidelines for ETD formatting, but it is not an official template and is out of date in a number of ways. It also does not contain the markup language for a tagged PDF, which is necessary to meet ADA Title II accessibility requirements.

The template below was not created by ÊÖ»ú¿´Æ¬, but we have looked at it, and it is a good starting point. Note that adjustments are needed to meet ETD’s Formatting Requirements
