rlm@421 1 This file includes the basic commands you will need to use within each
rlm@421 2 chapter of your thesis.
rlm@421 3
rlm@421 4 The file chap1.tex is a sample first chapter. To get started, you may
rlm@421 5 just want to replace the text and commands in that file as needed. In
rlm@421 6 general though, for each new chapter you want to do the following:
rlm@421 7
rlm@421 8 o Make sure the name has the extension .tex . Otherwise, you
rlm@421 9 can call it anything you want. For ease of use, all the
rlm@421 10 examples use chap1, chap2, etc.
rlm@421 11
rlm@421 12 o Add a line to the file main.tex that reads:
rlm@421 13
rlm@421 14 \include{yourfilename}
rlm@421 15
rlm@421 16 This should not include the .tex extension, because latex
rlm@421 17 assumes that is there.
rlm@421 18
rlm@421 19 Basic syntax:
rlm@421 20
rlm@421 21 o The first line of each chapter should be:
rlm@421 22
rlm@421 23 \chapter{Chapter Title}
rlm@421 24
rlm@421 25 o To start a new section (labeled chap#.sec# -- as in 1.1,
rlm@421 26 1.2, etc):
rlm@421 27
rlm@421 28 \section{Section Heading}
rlm@421 29
rlm@421 30 You can also include subsections:
rlm@421 31
rlm@421 32 \subsection{Heading}
rlm@421 33
rlm@421 34
