It sets the margins and interline spacing and disallows page breaks at hyphens. The \beforepreface command creates the title page, a copyright page (optionally), and a signature page. Then the user should put preface section(s), using the \prefacesection{section title} command. The \afterpreface command then produces the tables of contents, tables and figures, and sets things up to start the main body (on arabic page 1). The following commands can control what goes in the front matter material: \title{thesis title} \author{author's name} \dept{author's department} - Computer Science if omitted \principaladviser{the principal advisor's name} (or \principaladvisor, if you prefer advisor spelled with o) \firstreader{the first reader's name} \secondreader{the second reader's name} \submitdate{month year in which submitted to GPO} - date LaTeX'd if omitted \copyrightyear{year degree conferred (next year if submitted in Dec.)} - year LaTeX'd (or next year, in December) if omitted \copyrighttrue or \copyrightfalse - produce or don't produce a copyright page (true by default) \figurespagetrue or \figurespagefalse - produce or don't produce a List of Figures page (true by default) \tablespagetrue or \tablespagefalse - produce or don't produce a List of Tables page (true by default) \paperpurpose (added by JP) - Purpose of paper (Dissertation by default) This style uses interline spacing that is 1.3 times normal, except in the figure and table environments where normal spacing is used. That can be changed by doing: \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.6} (or whatever you want instead of 1.6) Unfortunately, that command probably won't take effect unless it comes before the \begin{document} or after something like \small \normalsize. The example above shows the 12pt substyle being used. This seems to give acceptable looking results, but it may be omitted to get smaller print. } %% Matt spent a lot of time messing with these values %% change only if absolutely necessary.
