That is true. My university has a LaTeX template. However, it is in the previous version of LaTeX. I find that inexcusable. They should update it. It is not happening. I think I should make a formal complaint. > I'm not sure how good org-mode might be usable in that case. org-mode > is really great and I try to use it for many purposes.

I will use it to create my drafts and then at the end change to the university LaTeX template.

Writing a dissertation is quite a load already. But I will into it.
