LaTeX
When I wrote up my PhD thesis, I created a LaTeX class that makes it really easy for people to get the formatting correct. The file below should be placed along side the .tex file containg your own LaTeX.
The zip file below contains an example.
The class file has been used by several people in the Department of Mathematics and the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Bristol, UK.

2002/05/22 v0.5
First release
2002/06/07 v0.6
Suppressed page numbers on the back of the singlesided pages in the frontmatter (for picky people like Graeme Ambler :-)
2002/06/20 v0.65
Checked margins again, expanded the headings up a bit.
2002/07/19 v0.66
Stopped headings from getting squashed.
2002/07/23 v0.7
Created the \defn[..]{..} and \listofdefn commands. Now you can automatically generate a list of definitions. Created the jasref option. It puts references in brackets and if the reference is a forward reference, or is more than 2 pages behind, it automatically gives the page number as well. Both of these additions are not documented yet.
2003/01/14 v0.72
After feedback from Guy Charles I've made an (undocumented) jasoneside option. This, unsuprisingly, sets the margins for a singlesided printer, and when used with option jasheads gives the chapter and section in the header. It could perhaps do with making a bit more pretty.
To do:
Fix the fact that the * version of the section command doesn't work. Do an option for putting section numbers in the margin or not. Check sensible things happen if you don't use my headings.
