% When making this, I tried to follow the format as closely as possible visually. You may need to adjust things, since some of the spacing is done manually. This might be somewhat hard to do if you aren't familiar with latex.
% As a note, I only did formatting for:
% Chapter
% Section
% Subsection
% So for something like a subsubsection or otherwise, you may need to do some additional leg work.
% I made some design decision with the sections and subsections, which aren't specified as part of the formatting.
% Personally, I think if you're using sections and subsections, you should do numbering, since it more clearly conveys the level of depth. It's a bit hard when we're avoiding font size changes/bolding, but I think either option should be functional.
