rlm@421 1 This file explains the options available to you for editting the file
rlm@421 2 main.tex.
rlm@421 3
rlm@421 4 The commands in the this file allow you to specify options such as
rlm@421 5 spacing, double-sided printing, a draft copy, etc. By default, 12pt
rlm@421 6 and lgrind are included; lgrind is the 2e style for including code in
rlm@421 7 your thesis.
rlm@421 8
rlm@421 9 \documentclass[12pt]{mitthesis}
rlm@421 10 \usepackage{lgrind}
rlm@421 11 \pagestyle{plain}
rlm@421 12
rlm@421 13 You can add options in the documentclass line as follows:
rlm@421 14
rlm@421 15 o singlespace
rlm@421 16
rlm@421 17 \documentclass[12pt,singlespace]{mitthesis}
rlm@421 18
rlm@421 19 o twoside
rlm@421 20
rlm@421 21 \documentclass[12pt,twoside]{mitthesis}
rlm@421 22
rlm@421 23 o draft (make sure to change the pagestyle to drafthead as
rlm@421 24 well)
rlm@421 25
rlm@421 26 \documentclass[12pt,draft]{mitthesis}
rlm@421 27 \usepackage{lgrind}
rlm@421 28 \pagestyle{drafthead}
rlm@421 29
rlm@421 30 o vi (for course vi and course viii theses)
rlm@421 31
rlm@421 32 \documentclass[12pt,vi]{mitthesis}
rlm@421 33
rlm@421 34 Any options you would use for report.sty will work here as well.
rlm@421 35
rlm@421 36
rlm@421 37 You should not need to change the first three lines and last two lines
rlm@421 38 below. Be sure to include an \include command for each file you are
rlm@421 39 including in your thesis.
rlm@421 40
rlm@421 41 \include{cover}
rlm@421 42 \pagestyle{plain}
rlm@421 43 \include{contents}
rlm@421 44 \include{chap1}
rlm@421 45 \include{chap2}
rlm@421 46 \appendix
rlm@421 47 \include{appa}
rlm@421 48 \include{appb}
rlm@421 49 \include{biblio}
rlm@421 50 \end{document}
rlm@421 51
rlm@421 52 Comment: to include appendices use a single \appendix command followed by
rlm@421 53 a number of \include{} commands as many files as needed, each of which
rlm@421 54 should contain a \chapter{} command for the appendix title.
