by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should in the next day work its way through the mirroring system. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Stellenbosch thesis and other utilities - 08 Author's name: Danie Els Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/stellenbosch Summary description: Typesetting dissertations, theses and reports of the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The usthesis class/style files are provided to typeset reports, theses and dissertations that conform to the requirements of the Engineering Faculty of the University of Stellenbosch. The class file usthesis.cls is based on the standard LaTeX book class, while usthesis.sty is a style file to be loaded on top of the very powerful memoir class. Both options give identical output, but the benefit of the using memoir is that it has many additional command and environments for formatting and processing of a document. Usthesis is primarily concerned with the formatting of the front matter such as the title page, abstract, etc. and a decent page layout on A4 paper. It also works together with the babel package to provide language options to typeset documents in Afrikaans or in English. Additional packages are provided for bibliographic matter, note title pages, lists of symbols, as well as various graphic files for logos. CHANGES FROM Stellenbosch-07: USthesis: v4.1 a) Fix errors in declaration page (usthesis.eng) a) Add signature and signed date macros for declaration page. USbib.sty v1.0 a) Rewrite inside bib testing mechanism for BIBand b) Remove redefinition of thebibliography environment. USlogos v4.0 a) Add UScrest-WM.jpg/eps for watermarks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/stellenbosch .
