    you should really look into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX for writing (big) thesises.

    http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/ is a stand alone program that is at a low-to-mid-entry difficulty level of Tex authoring.

    Thank me later.

    +1 for LaTeX and texmaker that @NeatNerdPrime suggested. Not only it's gonna look beautiful af it's gonna be more fun to write.

    Probably the title and some kind of structure for the content :D

    I'm already familiar with LaTeX. We do even write our thesis in Markdown/LaTeX: https://github.com/tompollard/...

    @Naptic Then it's merely a matter of the right document class and the additional packages you want to include.

    I work with LuaLaTeX from time to time, then i recommend you the following packages:

    - polyglossia
    - biblatex
    - fontspec
    - Tikz
    - parskip

    If you are in the US and want to write thesis for your uni, you should look,into "dissertate"

    I can really recommend using TeXnicCenter (Windoze only, free). IMHO it is the best IDE for LaTeX.
    If you set it up together with SumatraPDF, it even highlights the current line in the PDF and it supports leavibg the PDF open after conpiling it and refreshens the PDF live everytime you compile.
