Some tools for doing research
For students writing an Honors or Departmental Thesis or just wanting to
become familiar with using LaTeX, we've put together
some packages to help with writing these in LaTeX.
You can create a ShareLaTeX account and upload the zip file into ShareLaTeX
to start using the template.
For the adventuresome wanting to use TrueType and other font sets along
with the standard Type I fonts, use these templates to run xelatex (not pdflatex).
Note that these are not recommended for research or other profession publications.
The Comic Neue fonts are available in Type 1, and so this template can be processed through
pdflatex.

Main document as the one containing the *c.tex in its name.
