Style File Templates and Repositories for ETD
A former USF student created a LaTeX repository and style file. It has a lot of helpful
information on how to navigate LaTeX and align with USF’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for ETD formatting, but it is not an official template and is out of date in a number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 USF, but we have looked at it, and it is a good
starting point. Note that adjustments are needed to meet ETD’s Formatting Requirements:
Websites
| Contains extensive information regarding formatting using LaTeX.
| Offers easy-to-follow, basic instructions regarding spacing, table of contents,
and tables.
| Contains formatting information for LaTeX.
