Style File Templates and Repositories for ETD
A former USF student to created a LaTeX repository and style file. She also met with
ETD to update it recently. It has a lot of helpful information on how to navigate
LaTeX and align with USF’s Institutional guidelines for ETD formatting.
This is not created by ETD, but we have looked at it, and it is a great starting point.
Note that some adjustments may be needed to meet ETD’s Formatting Requirements:
