     1.4 +This file explains the options available to you for editting the file
     1.5 +main.tex.
     1.6 +
     1.7 +The commands in the this file allow you to specify options such as
     1.8 +spacing, double-sided printing, a draft copy, etc.   By default, 12pt
     1.9 +and lgrind are included; lgrind is the 2e style for including code in
    1.10 +your thesis.
    1.11 +
    1.12 +\documentclass[12pt]{mitthesis}
    1.13 +\usepackage{lgrind}
    1.14 +\pagestyle{plain}
    1.15 +
    1.16 +You can add options in the documentclass line as follows:
    1.17 +
    1.18 +	o  singlespace
    1.19 +
    1.20 +	\documentclass[12pt,singlespace]{mitthesis}
    1.21 +	
    1.22 +	o  twoside
    1.23 +
    1.24 +	\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{mitthesis}
    1.25 +
    1.26 +	o  draft   (make sure to change the pagestyle to drafthead as
    1.27 +			well)
    1.28 +
    1.29 +	\documentclass[12pt,draft]{mitthesis}
    1.30 +	\usepackage{lgrind}
    1.31 +	\pagestyle{drafthead}
    1.32 +
    1.33 +	o vi   (for course vi and course viii theses)
    1.34 +
    1.35 +	\documentclass[12pt,vi]{mitthesis}
    1.36 +
    1.37 +Any options you would use for report.sty will work here as well.
    1.38 +
    1.39 +
    1.40 +You should not need to change the first three lines and last two lines
    1.41 +below.  Be sure to include an \include command for each file you are
    1.42 +including in your thesis.
    1.43 +  
    1.44 +\include{cover}
    1.45 +\pagestyle{plain}
    1.46 +\include{contents}
    1.47 +\include{chap1}
    1.48 +\include{chap2}
    1.49 +\appendix
    1.50 +\include{appa}
    1.51 +\include{appb}
    1.52 +\include{biblio}
    1.53 +\end{document}
    1.54 +
    1.55 +Comment: to include appendices use a single \appendix command followed by
    1.56 +a number of \include{} commands as many files as needed, each of which
    1.57 +should contain a \chapter{} command for the appendix title.
