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