Hi @raffdoc,

I just handed in my thesis last night and updated @succhow 's thesis template based on the modifications I needed. You may find them useful as well.

Best,
Andrew Leifer

Full page figures are treated specially by Harvard. Full page figures must be preceded by a page that contains only the figure caption and no other text.

Additionally full page figures must contain a Figure title in the same format as the figure title for the caption with the words (continued).

I implemented this based on some initial work by Eddie Schlafly.

This implementation has a few improvements over Eddie's.
1) The continued figure title has the same format as the caption.
2) The internal PDF label/anchor is in the right place so that when you click on hyperlinks to the figure you land in a reasonable location.
-Abstract is now double spaced
-Figures are now numbered sequentially within a chapter (format X.X instead of X.X) so that within a chapter all figure numbers are contiguous.
-Change full page figure style to fix certain bugs.
Added links to completed dissertation. Source code and PDF
updated email address
updated the fact that textmate is now foss
Added Font installation instructions for OS X.
