rlm@421: %
rlm@421: % LaTeX format for theses at MIT
rlm@421: % Based on "Specifications for Thesis Preparation" 
rlm@421: 
rlm@421: % `vi' and `upcase' options by Krishna Sethuraman - krishna@athena.mit.edu
rlm@421: % Margins and heading types by Peter Nuth  - nuth@ai.mit.edu
rlm@421: % Title and abstract page by Stephen Gildea - gildea@erl.mit.edu
rlm@421: % Look in this directory for example file mitthesis.doc
rlm@421: % Also for propcover.tex - Boilerplate for PHD proposal.
rlm@421: 
rlm@421: % To use this style - say something like:
rlm@421: %  for dull, boring thesis format:
rlm@421: %	\documentclass[12pt]{mitthesis}
rlm@421: %       \pagestyle{plain}
rlm@421: % OR for fast drafts: 
rlm@421: %	\documentclass[11pt,singlespace,draft]{mitthesis}
rlm@421: %	\pagestyle{drafthead}
rlm@421: % OR for Tech Reports:
rlm@421: %	\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{mitthesis}	
rlm@421: %	\pagestyle{headings}
rlm@421: % OR
rlm@421: %  some other combination...
rlm@421: %
rlm@421: %%%% New options:
rlm@421: % 
rlm@421: % Option `twoside':
rlm@421: %   Good for producing Tech Reports.
rlm@421: %   The default is single-sided printing, which is what M.I.T. wants on the
rlm@421: %   thesis document itself.
rlm@421: %
rlm@421: % Option `singlespace':
rlm@421: %   Good for drafts.
rlm@421: %   Double-spaced theses are the default.
rlm@421: %   That is what M.I.T. asks for in the formal specifications.
rlm@421: %
rlm@421: % 	Note that MIT does not REQUIRE all theses to be double-spaced anymore.
rlm@421: % 	Someone in the library system said that it's OK to be single-spaced.
rlm@421: % 	(Regardless of what the specs. say...)
rlm@421: %   To get singlespacing in an area - Use  the 'singlespace' environment. 
rlm@421: %
rlm@421: % Option `draft':
rlm@421: %   Puts `overfull' boxes at the end of lines that are too long. 
rlm@421: %
rlm@421: % Pagestyle `drafthead':
rlm@421: %   Puts the date and the label ``*DRAFT*'' in the footer.

rlm@421: %% the standard copyright line will be used instead.
rlm@421: % 	\copyrightnotice{J. Casey Salas, 1986}

rlm@421: % 	\chairman{Arthur C. Smith}
rlm@421: %		 {Chairman, Departmental Committee on Graduate Students}
rlm@421: %% Make the titlepage based on the above information.  If you need
rlm@421: %% something special and can't use the standard form, you can specify
rlm@421: %% the exact text of the titlepage yourself.  Put it in a titlepage
rlm@421: %% environment and leave blank lines where you want vertical space.
rlm@421: %% The spaces will be adjusted to fill the entire page.  The dotted
rlm@421: %% lines for the signatures are made with the \signature command.
rlm@421: %
rlm@421: %% The abstractpage environment sets up everything on the page except
rlm@421: %% the text itself.  The title and other header material are put at the
rlm@421: %% top of the page, and the supervisors are listed at the bottom.  A
rlm@421: %% new page is begun both before and after.  Of course, an abstract may
rlm@421: %% be more than one page itself.  If you need more control over the
rlm@421: %% format of the page, you can use the abstract environment, which puts
rlm@421: %% the word "Abstract" at the beginning and single spaces its text.
rlm@421: %
