Hi,
Thank you for creating this! Any chance you'd consider making a version that uses biblatex
instead of natbib
? I can't get the existing diss.tex (Latest commit 30f8e70 on Oct 4, 2019) to work with Windows 10, MikTek 2.9, and natbib
has some limitations.
Thanks!
Should version.tex be included in the repository? By default abstract.tex tries to \input
it.
Hello,
As per
https://www.grad.ubc.ca/current-students/dissertation-thesis-preparation/preliminary-pages
a committee page must appear before abstract and be page ii
. Could you please add that to the template?
Thanks
Thank you for your effort in maintaining this document template.
It's worth noting that some packages appearing in the template are now out-dated and superseded by newer packages. For example, it is my understanding that subcaption
supersedes subfig
and that the latter should not be used. Similarly, I believe that one of the packages for the Times typeface has also been superseded by a newer package.
I don't have time to submit a PR right now, but I will revisit this later if someone doesn't beat me to it first.
Hi Brian,
First, thanks for creating and maintaining this style. It is immensely helpful to everyone who wants to use LaTeX for their theses.
The issue I'm having is that the margins are all wrong in the example document that you provide with the package (diss.tex). I've uploaded a copy of the output to: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hoqfb6oedjsl66v/diss.pdf and you can see that the margins are very large, not the 1" margins recommended by UBC FoGS.
I know that the margins on 8.5x11 inch pages are typically pretty wide in a default LaTeX document (a very good explanation is given at:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/71172/why-are-default-latex-margins-so-big),
and I can fix the issue by putting the command
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
in the preamble, but I was wondering if this should be set in the cls file.
I'm using TeXLive (2012.20120611-4) on an Ubuntu 12.10 computer.

That's it. Other than that, great package, thanks for maintaining!
Hi Brian,
Thanks for providing such a useful repo. I recently had someone talking about how he could not compile the diss.tex file properly in his Windows 10 environment albeit I did not notice anything wrong in my Ubuntu environment. Upon further inspection, it seems that there are some font differences on Windows and the acronym package. There are some other differences but I can't reproduce them right now.
Has anyone noticed this before? If so, are you aware of potential differences between operating systems?
Cheers
