RiSE Latex Template
About
The RiSE Latex Template is a project for providing an elegant, almost fully customizable, LaTeX class and template for B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. thesis. It is developed by RiSE researchers and it was initially based on UFPE Thesis class proposed for Center for Informatics at Federal University of Pernambuco undergraduate and graduate programs.

For UFPE students
The RiSE Latex class has been tested by several students from CIn, UFPE. A lot of contributions from them has been also received. Thus, it satisfies most of the requirements from the department about the thesis format. However, probably some customization will be needed to fully satisfies the cover that is provided by the department when printing the final thesis to the library.
Customization
The RiSE Latex class is easily customizable for the most common document issues through the options that the class provides. For a complete list of options see the examples provided in the distribution package.
If the options provided by the class are not enough for the customization, we believe that it is very easy to hack the class file.
