Adfathesis This class modifies the standard report class to meet the requirements of the Australian Defence Force Academy (a college of the University of New South Wales) as given in the `University College Handbook'. This class is ultimately derived from the old suthesis style. The main changes in this class are firstly to use space and a half interline spacing, except in footnote, figure and table environments where normal spacing is used. Secondly the chapter and section headings are changed to be less `shouting' than the standard LaTeX designs. Thirdly less profligate use was made of vertical spacing. There is more information in a short document appended to the end of adfathesis.cls (I have not progressed to using a .dtx). Since two sided theses are now accepted for theses, I used the adfathesis class with the following options: \documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openright,twoside]{adfathesis} As supplied adfathesis automatically uses the Harvard package and the supplied `adfathesis.bst' is designed to work with the Harvard package. If you wish to use a different bst, such as `plain.bst', this will not be appropriate. There is a class option `normalbib' which stops the automatic use of the Harvard package, and hence allows use of either the standard LaTeX bibliography style or an alternative package. Version 2.3 Changes: \cleardoublepage modified to ensure that blank pages use the empty pagestyle (from the fancyhdr documentation). Changes to default penalty values affecting widows/orphans, following suggestions in a post by Michael Downs on comp.text.tex. The table and table* environments are defined to automatically swap the settings for abovecaptionskip and belowcaptionskip, so table captions have the correct spacing when above the table. Version 2.4 Changes: added an option `honours' that changes the titlepage to one more appropriate to a Honours report. For this option you should set \degreetype in the preamble to the appropriate faculty, it defaults to `Science'. Improved vertical spacing around chapter headings. The files supplied are as follows: adfathesis.bst adfathesis.cls adfathesis.sty 00readme.txt template.tex Version 2.5 Changes: modified to use docstrip. No other changes were made.
