4. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS OF FORMATTING
It is recommended that the technical requirements given in this chapter are followed as precisely as possible in the manuscript of a doctoral thesis that is being submitted in the decision-making process of being allowed to proceed to defence. The layout editor shall assist in following these requirements and shall finalize the layout after the decision by the Doctoral Studies Council has been made for the thesis to be allowed to proceed to defence.
4.1. TEXTANDTITLES
 Text shall be entered as plain text. The line break function (Enter) is used to start a new section. Spaces between titles and text and spaces between sections within a text are created by using paragraph formatting, not by empty spaces (the corresponding title and paragraph formatting is specified in subsection 4.5). Hyphenation, styles and other settings should be avoided in text. The dash is long (–), hyphen short (-).
 Direct citations are presented in the original language. Texts that are reproduced in translated form, including translated direct citations, are presented as a reference and quotation marks are not used.
 The HEADING 1 titles are presented in block letters in the text and in the table of contents. The HEADING 2 titles are presented in block letters in the text, but in the table of contents in regular text with an initial capital letter.
