That is true. My university has a LaTeX template. However, it is in
the previous version of LaTeX. I find that inexcusable. They should
update it. It is not happening. I think I should make a formal complaint.

True, I probably will use org-mode as an intermediary step. I will use
it to create my drafts and then at the end change to the university
LaTeX template. That should not be too much work.

Good point, I am just worried about learning too many things (Emacs,
LaTeX, git, org-mode, R, ESS, ...) to take on new technologies. Writing
a dissertation is quite a load already. But I will into it.
