Finding a Good LaTeX Template for Dissertation Writing

[LAHLH]

Hi,

I'm writing a dissertation and would like to do it in Latex, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good template that will work in MikTex for this purpose? It's to be in the style of short report on a topic not a paper (i.e. no abstract, few references), just like an essay I guess, intro and feynman diagram figures...

Cheers

Just throwing this out there, if you like two-column, you could take a look at the IEEE format. Might be more formal than what you are looking for.

Maybe other publications also offer their templates? Maybe from a physics pub?
