Dedication Page in Thesis

Post by 7788 »

Hi,

I would like to make a dedication page in my thesis from my .sty file, I have this (for the abstract page).

Code: Select all

\def\abswithesis{
    \newpage
    % Set up the default behavior for headers and footers
    \thispagestyle{empty}
    \prefacesection{ABSTRACT}
    \abstextwithesis
}
What are the command names for dedication page please?

thanks very much

That's sort of up to you, and depends on the style you want for dedications. Mine looks like:

Code: Select all

\begin{dedication}
[content]
\end{dedication}
This seems logical to me. The dedication environment could be defined as follows:

Code: Select all

\newenvironment{dedication}
    {\vspace{6ex}\begin{quotation}\begin{center}\begin{em}}
    {\par\end{em}\end{center}\end{quotation}}
