Doctoral dissertation template for the Univeristy of Wisconsin--Madison. This is an improved template modified from the original template by William Benton: https://github.com/willb/wi-thesis-template.
Several things were modified from the original template, including but not limited to:
- Better font -- uses Linux Libertine, the ACM default (so no more ugly number '5's)
- Better page margin -- smaller margins but within requirement (which look better)
- Better organization of source files
- Better title page formatting (but still following the requirements exactly)
- Various helper definitions and macros
This template has been tested through the Computer Sciences department's deposit process, but should also work universally across the graduate school. You can find the formatting guideline this template follows at: https://grad.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/329/2023/04/Formatting-Requirements-for-your-Doctoral-Dissertation.pdf.
