# Rackham Dissertation Format
A Quarto template for U-M Rackham dissertations.
Based on the unofficial [thesis-umich](https://github.com/meluso/UMich_Dissertation_Template) LaTeX template.
Rackham has stringent [formatting guidelines](https://rackham.umich.edu/navigating-your-degree/formatting-guidelines/),
yet refuses to provide a template 🧐.
Using this unofficial template does not guarantee that you will meet their
formatting guidelines.
## Installing
You will first need to install [quarto](https://quarto.org/).
### For a new document
You can use this as a template to create a new dissertation.
To do this, use the following command:
```bash
quarto use template kelly-sovacool/rackham
```
This will install the extension and create an example qmd file that you can use as a starting place for your article.
### For an existing document
You may also use this format with an existing Quarto project or document.
From the project or document directory, run this command:
```bash
quarto install extension kelly-sovacool/rackham
```
## Using
To use the format, specify the format name `rackham-pdf` in your document yaml:
```yaml
format:
rackham-pdf:
keep-tex: true
```
You can also optionally specify author metadata, chapter and appendix files,
and text for the abstract, dedication, preface, etc.
Take a look at `_quarto.yml` for examples of all the format options you can set.
