\chapter*{\centering Abstract}
This is a template for a master's thesis or dissertation, following Binghamton Univesrity's formatting guides.
You can build it to a pdf with pandoc, which will treat it as a markdown file but pretty seemlessly handle any latex you throw in as well
Build with:
pandoc thesis.md --bibliography=path/to/bibfile.bib -o output.pdf
if you want a specific citation style (like apa); get the csl and do:
pandoc thesis.md --bibliography=path/to/bibfile.bib --csl=path/to/apa.csl -o output.pdf

\chapter{\centering Introduction}
You can type markdown from here on out. I used \chapter{} instead of # Heading... for formatting reasons, but all subjects can use ## Subheading..., ### Subsubheading..., and so on.
If you want to include citations, it's super convenient; you just:
- have a
.bibfile with a bunch of bibtex entries - cite in text with: @entryName. If you want the in text citation to be in parentheses, you do: [@entryName].
- multiple parenthetical citations: [@entryName1; @entryName2; @entryName3]
- even cooler: you should be able to include text as well [as noted by @entryName1; though see @entryName2].
Figures can be included by just doing normal markdown images. You can reference figures and it will autonumber and all that (see Figure \ref{fig:ref2fig}).
{#fig:ref2fig}
Tables work too, you just used normal markdown pipe table format (see Table \ref{tbl:ref2table}):
| this | is | a | table |
|---|---|---|---|
| here | is | some | data |
| and | some | more | data |
Table: Table caption... \label{tbl:ref2table}
Math works pretty seemlessly too, just do something like:
^ just use the typical latex math equation syntax
Also, footnotes are super easy to do^[here's an example of a footnote]
