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