← BackNorthwestern University Dissertation Template - Quarto
2 July, 2024I am writing my dissertation in Quarto, and didn’t find an existing template. I took some latex code from this existing template and amended the Quarto book defaults.
To help others who might want to do the same, I’ve published a minimal example here. Simply clone that repository to get started.
It is very minimal, and far from perfect. For example, front matter
before the table of contents – acknowledgments, preface, glossary – have
to be written in latex in the current setup. There are ways to have them
compiled from markdown as well, no doubt, but it wasn’t worth the
trouble. Update July 7: I think appendices look ok now. Appendices
are another issue. Ideally I’d like cross-references to appendix content
to have custom prefixes (e.g. automatically say “see table A2” if a
table is located in the appendix) but that still seems a bit tricky
(see discussion here)
