Adds formatting modifications required by the graduate school as of August 2020 including quote environment formatting, thesis title formatting, dedication formatting, and bibliography formatting.

The formatting changes required were:

  • Quote: single-space, indented, and extending to right margin (I modified the \begin{quote} environment to reflect this); See line 266
  • Thesis title: single-spaced; See line 330 and 405
  • Dedication: single-spaced; See line 497
  • Bibliography: needs to span the same main margins as the rest of the paper but with hanging indent; _See line 553

I would assume these formatting requirements which applied to my August 2020 thesis submission will be applied to all other submissions in the future.

I apologize for all the blank space characters my editor has chosen to remove.

I suspect this may vary depending on the bibliography style (.bst) used. I used IEEEtran style and my references were properly formatted and accepted by Grad School, except it allows page breaks mid-citation if the citation is >4 lines, which I have overwritten independent of the chosen style.

With these proposed changes, my bibitem labels are closer to 1" margin w/ >0.5" hanging indent, so I don't believe this is a universal solution. I will be submitting pull requests that include the page-break correction and other various changes/additions, but I plan to break them up into multiple commits to make it easier to accept/reject, starting with the corrections and then additions.

Perhaps there is an approach that will correct bibitem positioning that's independent of chosen style, but there may need to be individualized formatting specific to particular bib styles that can be selected as needed.
