I'm trying to format a thesis to university requirements. The university requires the front matter to conform to the following:
- Everything up to the table of contents has a roman page number (but this isn't displayed on the title page)
- The table of contents includes entries for the title page, abstract, and table of contents, with their roman page number listed.
I can't seem to get either of these things right. Here is an MWE:
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{report}
%for split boxes and title page
\usepackage{array}
%for title page
\usepackage{graphicx}
%for double spacing in abstract
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{title.tex}
\begin{titlepage}
\begin{center}
\vspace*{1in}
\MakeUppercase{The Title of}\\[12pt]

Is the page number roman like it should be?
\singlespacing
\end{filecontents}

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\input{Abstract}
\clearpage
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Title and Abstract Should Appear Above Me in the ToC}
\chapter{Introduction}
\chapter{LitReview}
\end{document}
If you compile this, you will see that I have not managed to make the front matter use roman lettering, and I haven't even attempted to add the front matter items to the ToC because I do not know how. Can anyone show me how to do this properly?
