=============== NOTE: This is a fork of the original Harvard Latex template by Jordan Suchow (suchow@fas.harvard.edu). I've left the original README here as he had it. If you have any questions about the modifications please contact me (Jeremie Papon) at jpapon at gmail dot com.
This package provides all of the files needed to support the production and typesetting of a PhD thesis at Harvard. For contributions, comments, and bug reports, please contact Jordan Suchow at suchow@fas.harvard.edu.
Contributions were made by Andrew Leifer (leifer@fas.harvard.edu), and thanks to Clemens Eppner for the Ubuntu instructions.
Download basic-miktex-2.9.4244.exe http://miktex.org/ Download SumatraPDF v 1.5.1 http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/free-pdf-reader.html Download this Git Repo
Installatioan instructions: Copy the contents of fonts\ into C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\fonts\opentype\public\ChaparralPro
To complie, from the MSYS command prompt run: xelatex -synctex=-1 thesis.tex
Downlaod MacTex (when I tried, the main site was down so I used this mirror) http://mirror.unl.edu/ctan/systems/mac/mactex/MacTeX.mpkg.zip it should be roughly 2 GB Install.
I use the free PDF reader Skim and the non-free editor TextMate. Both integrate well with latex:
Skim is available http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/ Set Skim->Preferences->Sync to the Preset "TextMate." You can command-shift-click in the PDF to pull up a line in the code in Textmate.
Now to setup TextMate, go to the Bundle->LaTex->Preferences and choose xelatex and Skim respectively. Then go to Bundles->Latex-> File Preferences -> Set Master file and select your master file.. thesis.tex
To compile, from the terminal run: xelatex thesis
I also use Zotero http://www.zotero.org/ with the following modification to enable drag and drop cite keys: For Bibtex Drag and Drop Functionality from Zotero see: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5094/drag-and-drop-bibtex-cite/ and in particular: http://pastebin.com/GXmCJevn
If this is your first time you are working with LaTeX in TextMate then you would need to install the LaTeX bundle first. TextMate->Bundles->LaTeX: tick the box (the installation kicks in automatically)
-
Installing xetex:
sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex
-
Copy the fonts (from the template folder):
sudo cp fonts/*/usr/local/share/fonts/
-
Add
\aliasfontfeatureoption{Ligatures}{Historic}{Historical}
in harvard-thesis.cls just above the \setromanfont... command. This is because the syntax changed at some point from "Historical" to "Historic" but the ubuntu package is obviously a little behind. See here: http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2010-September/018106.html
- Run xelatex thesis.tex

=======
There is a minor bug regarding figure captions for full page figures. Harvard requires that full page figures be preceded by a page containing only a figure caption. I have modified the fltpage package to do this. Now the bug: on rare occasions, if LaTeX has many small floats in the queue, a second float can appear on the page that is supposed to have only the figure caption. This is a known bug in the fltpage package, see for example the comments in the original (unmodified) source: http://www.tex.ac.uk/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/fltpage/fltpage.dtx THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
