%\begin{document} starts LaTeX looking for actual content.  Everything above this point is purely formatting.
\begin{document}

\begin{titlepage}
\begin{center}

% \vspace* creates some vertical white space on the page to make the title page look more pleasing.  \vspace would do much the same thing, but would not insert the white space if we were at the top of a fresh page.  As this is the start of the document we're obviously at the beginning of a page, so the asterisk is necessary to ensure we still put in two cm of white space.
\vspace*{2cm}

{\Large \textbf{A Great Catchy Thesis Title}} % \huge sets the font size.  Other options include things like \large, \Large, \small, \tiny, etc.

\vspace{5cm}
{Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of
the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy\\ by}

\vspace{2cm}
{\large \textbf{H Diego Estrada-Lugo}\\ (Maximum Commander)}
% \vfill creates an arbitrary amount of vertical white space as necessary to fill the page

% \frontmatter defines the pieces of the thesis which will use roman numerals for page numbering
\frontmatter 


% \chapter{} and/or \chapter*{} will create a chapter in your thesis.  Including the asterisk will cause the chapter to not appear in the table of contents.

% \bibliographystyle command to choose the format of your bibliography. More examples of bibliography styles can be found at https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Bibtex_bibliography_styles
\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}

% \bibliography is the command for the actual file containing your bibliographic data. This file can be produced manually or automatically using software such as BibTeX. Both options can work, however, learning to use BibTex is beneficial in the long run. An example of the format needed to generate your own bibliography file can be found as the bibliography.bib file here provided.
