+ #mitthesis --- A LaTeX template for MIT theses#
+
+ v1.00 dated 2023/06/17.
+
+ ####Overview####
+ This class provides a LaTeX template for MIT theses formatted according to
+ the requirements of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries (as posted in 2023):
+
+ [https://libraries.mit.edu/distinctive-collections/thesis-specs/](https://libraries.mit.edu/distinctive-collections/thesis-specs/)
+
+ This template is appropriate for MIT theses of all types.
+
+ This template works with either pdfLaTeX or unicode engines such as luaLaTeX.
+ The bibliography can be prepared with either biblatex (default) or natbib/bibtex.
+ The class is based on current LaTeX distributions, ideally 11/2022 or later, but
+ compatible with distributions back to 2020. This template replaces the older
+ version of mitthesis.cls, which was first composed in the 1980s.
+
+ The files in this distribution are:
+
+ README.md -- this file
+ mitthesis.cls -- the class file
+ MIT-Thesis.tex -- a latex template for this class
+ mydesign.tex -- a file that loads packages for color and document design
+ MIT-Thesis.pdf -- a sample thesis from the template, using default fonts
+ mitthesis-sample.bib -- a sample bibliography file with many examples
+ fontsets/ -- a directory of input files that load optional fonts
+ *
+ abstract.tex -- put your abstract in this file
+ acknowledgments.tex -- put your acknowledgments in this file
+ biosketch.tex -- put your biosketch in this file (optional)
+ chapter1.tex -- put your first chapter in this file (etc.)
+ appendixa.tex -- put your first appendix in this file (etc.)
+ *
+ mitthesis-doc/ -- documentation for usage and options
+ examples/font_samples/
+ -- sample theses in different fonts
+ examples/cover_page_samples/
+ -- sample theses for one or more authors and degrees
