This is a LaTeX template for formatting theses and dissertations for submission in the Brigham Young University College of Engineering. The template feature options for simple or fancy formatting. See template.tex for an example implementation and the compiled template.pdf document in the ./src directory for more information. A two-sided pagination example for printing can be found in template_twosided.tex.
This template was created using the memoir class as a foundation. If you are interested in adding or modifying features of the template, you will likely find it useful to consult the memoir.cls documentation (memman.pdf) at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/memman.pdf
NOTE: The template and byuthesis.cls work reliably with TeX Live 2024 and the memoir class version in TeX Live 2024. If using TeX Live 2025, memoir class v3.8.4b should be used. In Overleaf, when using Tex Live 2025, memoir class v3.8.3b is loaded and this causes formatting problems with the front matter (e.g. title page, etc.) of the document. A bug fix has been implemented for this case.
The template also uses biblatex for formatting citations and the bibliography. Documentation for biblatex can be found at https://ctan.math.illinois.edu/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf
