    The tabbing environment on the title page is replaced by
    a tabular environment.
    Depending on which additional packages are used, mitthesis
    documents generated with LuaLaTeX can be compatible with
    PDF2/UA-2 (well-tagged PDF as validated by the Arlington model
    and the veraPDF demo service); the sample cover pages and
    documentation are included as UA-2.
    Minor changes to the documentation and journal reference
    formats are also included.

    Summary description: A LaTeX template for an MIT thesis

    Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The mitthesis class formats an MIT thesis or dissertation according to the current requirements of the MIT Libraries. This template is appropriate for MIT theses of all types. It can be adapted for other institutions, if desired.

    This update includes user-level examples of simple customization of the design, through the [mydesign] key value option. A two-column nomenclature format (nomenclature*) has been added. Minor changes have been made to the default citation and reference styles. Other code tuning has been done under the hood, but these should be unnoticed by the driver.

    With appropriate class options and up-to-date software, mitthesis.cls can produce pdf files that meet the PDF/UA2 and tagged PDF standards and the WTPDF 1.0 accessibility and reuse profiles (https://demo.verapdf.org/, v1.28.1). Several examples of compliant files are included in the distribution.

    The 2022/11/01 LaTeX format is the recommended minimum version.
