\section{Introduction and Installation}
This is an example document to demonstrate the typesetting of a
dissertation for the University of Kentucky.  To see the
specifications I am trying to meet go to
\begin{center}
\url{http://www.research.uky.edu/gs/PrintedDissertationInstructions.html}.
\end{center}
It is build on top of
the memoir document class.  This is not installed here, but you can
get it from CTAN.  If you put the files in the same directory as the
\verb+ukthesis.cls+ file they will be detected.  There are two ways to
get this all to work.  First you must compile the \verb+memoir+ class
following the instructions in the accompanying README file Them,
\begin{description}
\item[Easy] Drop the ukthesis.cls and all of the memoir files into
  the same directory as your main \LaTeX\ document
\item[Hard] Copy the memoir files into the directory
  \verb+texmf/tex/latex/memoir+ and the documentation files into
  \verb+texmf/doc/latex/memoir+ in the root of your u drive.  Copy
  \verb+ukthesis.cls+ to \verb+texmf/tex/latex/ukthesis+. Now run the
  command \verb+texhash+ from the Unix side (using Putty).  This will
  make it work on the Unix side.  But MikTeX doesn't acknowledge that
  \verb+texmf+ directory so it won't work from the Windows side. To do this,
  create a file called \verb+miktex.ini+ in your u drive.  Add to it
  the following
  \begin{verbatim}
    [LaTeX]
    Input Dirs=.;u:\texmf//;%R\tex\latex//;%R\tex\generic//
  \end{verbatim}
  and execute the command \verb+initexmf --personal=miktex.ini+ from a
  DOS (not Unix) prompt.
\end{description}
The supported method for producing a PDF file is to use \texttt{latex} then
\texttt{dvips -t letter} to produce a postscript (for printed copies,
this should be correct) and finally, \texttt{ps2pdf} to produce the
PDF.  \texttt{pdflatex} seems to produce correct results most of the
time, but problems have been reported.  Its use is not supported.
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Document Structure}
The most basic beginning for a dissertation is:
\verbatiminput{minimal-thesis.tex}
This skeleton may be found in the file \texttt{minimal-thesis.tex},
included with the class.

If you have no figures (tables) you should remove the
\verb+\listoffigures+ (\verb+\listoftables+).


If you are submitting electronically then you must submit in the PDF
format.  Make sure it opens correctly in the Acrobat reader.  All
cross references must be hyper-linked and you must have bookmarks
pointing to certain major sections of the document.  Your document
also needs to include proper meta-data (i.e. your name, the
title, etc.). This can all be done automatically using the
\texttt{hyperref} package with some options:
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[pdfauthor={Your Name},
            pdftitle={The Title},
            pdfsubject={The Subject},
            pdfkeywords={Some Keywords},
            pdfproducer={Latex with hyperref},
            pdfcreator={latex->dvips->ps2pdf},
            pdfpagemode=UseOutlines,
            bookmarksopen=true,
            bookmarksnumbered=true]{hyperref}
\usepackage{memhfixc}
\end{verbatim}
Note especially the options \texttt{bookmarksopen} and
\texttt{bookmarksnumbered}.  The first causes the PDF file to open
with the bookmarks displayed in a sidebar (required) and the second
places the chapter/section number in the name of the bookmark
(required).  It is recommended that you use the \texttt{url} package
and the \verb+\url+ command to set URLs and e-mail addresses.

The supported document divisions and there formatings are:
\begin{tabbing}
\textbf{ 1 Ch}\=\textbf{apter}\\
\>\textbf{1.1 Se}\=\textbf{ction}\\
\>\>\textbf{Su}\=\textbf{bsection}\\
\>\>\>\textbf{Subsubsection}
\end{tabbing}
The \emph{expected} division is chapters divided into sections.  If
you use any of the deeper divisions you will need to use
\verb+\changetocdepth{depth}+ to include them in the table of
contents.  Chapters have depth 0, sections depth 1 and so on.  Set
\texttt{depth} to the number for the deepest division of your
thesis. You can use \verb+\maxsecnumdepth{division}+ to set the
deepest division you want numbered.  It defaults to \texttt{section}.
Do not use the \texttt{part} division or any of division smaller than
\texttt{subsubsection}.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Front Matter}
The author must use the \verb+\author+, \verb+\title+,
\verb+\abstract+ \verb+\dgs+ and \verb+\advisor+ macros to define the title page
elements.  Make sure that the title is in all capital letters and
contains no ``fancy'' formatting.  Math is fine, but no footnotes and
no font changes (including font size changes). The title is set inside
of a \verb+\parbox+, so don't do anything it doesn't like.  The year
will always be set to the current year on the day when \texttt{latex}
was last run.    The advisor macro accepts an optional argument to
indicate the department.  This defaults to Mathematics but may be
changed for other departments.  Set \verb+\dgs+ to the name of the
current Director of Graduate Studies.  This may be omitted if you are
submitting a printed copy and use the \texttt{nosignatures} option.


The
graduate schools margin requirement's place an implicit limit on the
length of 
the title.  It must fit inside of a box whose width is
\verb+\linewidth+ (about 6in)  and whose height is 1.5in. 

The
abstract is set inside of the \verb+\abstract+ command, rather than
the usual abstract environment.  
The environment is still available, but you 
shouldn't use it.  Your abstract must not exceed 350 words. Other than
that, use these just as you would the 
corresponding commands in the standard document classes.  You must
provide \emph{exactly} 5 keywords using the \verb+\keyword+ macro.

Begin with \verb+\frontmatter+ command. This informs latex that you
are including material non-content material for the front of the
document.  This will automatically change the numbering style to
lowercase roman numerals  beginning with iii.  Issue the command
\verb+\maketitle+ to produce the (numerous) title pages.  The
acknowledgments, dedication and table of contents are also
front-matter. 
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Main Matter}
Issue the command \verb+\mainmatter+ just before the first chapter.
If you are using double or one-half spacing the necessary commands
should be issued here and not at the before the front-matter.

The only supported font-sizes are 10pt and 12pt.  The default is
12pt.  Nothing should exceed a font size of 12pt.

Your figures and tables should be placed constantly, i.e., always
where first referenced, always at the top of the page etc.  Make sure
you provide a caption for each so that they are caught in the list of
figures (tables).  If you have a large table that needs to be
displayed sideways, the \texttt{sidewaystable} environment provided by
the \texttt{rotating} package produces the correct formating.

You must place a copyright notice at the end of each chapter.  It
should be centered and the bottom of the page, just above the number.
A command \verb+\copyrightnotice+ is provided for this.  Put it just
before each \verb+\chapter+ command.  In some situations (when the
last page of the chapter is full) it may spill over onto a page by
itself.  The command \verb+\copyrightprefix+ is provided to customize
the appearance of the notice.  It is printed just before the name and
year.  Changing this is the easiest way to alter the appearance of the
copyright notice.
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Back Matter}
Like the font and main-matter, begin the back-matter with the command
\verb+\backmatter+. This does a number of things including changing
the chapter heading style to remove the numbers.  Your bibliography
and vita are back-matter as well as any appendices you may have.  The
rules for the main-matter also apply here.
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Class Options}
This class will accept most of the options the \texttt{memoir} class
will accept.  The major exceptions are the font size commands; only
\texttt{12pt} and \texttt{10pt} are accepted.  The following
additional options are defined.
\begin{description}
\item[\texttt{12pt}, \texttt{10pt}] Font-size options.  The default is
  12pt. The \texttt{final} option implies \texttt{12pt}.
\item[\texttt{pretty}] Typeset the document in a nicer looking format
  that you can show off to your friends.  This changes the titling
  commands so that they correspond the normal \verb+memoir+ commands.
  It also provides a command \verb+\pretty+ that you can use for
  optional typesetting. \pretty{This document is typeset with the
    pretty option.} For example 
  \begin{center}
    \verb+\pretty{\pagestyle{ruled}}+
    \end{center}
  will add a line to the otherwise empty header only when the
  \texttt{pretty} option is on.
\item[\texttt{final}] Outputs a final version of the document suitable
  for submission.  Implies  \texttt{oneside} and
  \texttt{12pt}. 
  option.  \texttt{pretty} and \texttt{final} are mutually exclusive.
  This is the version the graduate school wants for electronic
  submission.
\item[\texttt{oneside}] For when you are printing on one side of the
  page.  This is the default.  Implied by option \texttt{final}.
\item[\texttt{twoside}] For when you are printing on both sides of the
  paper.
\item[\texttt{nosignatures}]  By default the needed names are typed on
  the lines provided for signatures.  If you are turning in a printed
  copy, you may not want this.  The \texttt{nosignatures} option
  causes these lines to be left blank.  Disabled by the \texttt{final}
  option. 
\end{description}

\section{Warnings}
Here are some caveats and warnings
\begin{itemize}
\item You must have the most recent version of the \texttt{memoir}
  class. 
\item Errors about ``Emulated packages'' are because your version of
  the \texttt{memoir} class is too old.
\item It is assumed that you are using $8.5\times 11$ inch US letter
  paper.  Other paper sizes will not work and are not supported.  Some
  versions of \texttt{dvips} default to A4 paper (if your top margin
  is too small, this is why).  Use the option
  \texttt{-t letter} to change this.
\item If you change the headers or footers, put the changes inside the
  \verb+\pretty+ command so that they only affect the document when
  the \texttt{pretty} option is on.
\item Likewise for the margins.
\item Do not use the old, deprecated font commands like \verb+\it+ and
  \verb+\bf+ as they will not work with the \verb+memoir+ class.  This
  shouldn't surprise you since they were declared obsolete in 1996.  Use
  \verb+\textbf+ and \verb+\textit+ instead.
\item For double (or one-half) spacing use the built in memoir
  commands \verb+\DoubleSpacing+ or \verb+\OnehalfSpacing+. Do not
  begin double spacing until you enter the main-matter.
\item Problems have been reported using the \texttt{setspace} package
  on Windows Vista.  This can be solved by copying the
  \texttt{setspace.sty} file to you local directory and renaming in
  \texttt{mysetspace.sty}.  Then \verb+\usepackage{mysetspace}+ will
  load the package correctly.
%% \item If you want double spacing use the \verb+setspace+ package.  Do
%%   not begin double spacing until after the front matter.  You must not
%%   change \verb+\baselineskip+ or \verb+\parskip+ as this will muck up
%%   the spacing of the title pages.  The abstract, dedication and
%%   acknowledgment pages must be single spaced.
\item If you use a version of the \verb+hyperref+ package dated before
  2006/11/15 you must put \verb+\usepackage{memhfixc}+ after you load
  \verb+hyperref+ otherwise you will get errors about
  \verb+\chapternumberline+ being undefined.  This comes from the
  \verb+memoir+ class; it isn't my fault.
\item The \verb+\date+ command does not change the displayed year.
  You may change the year by renewing the \verb+\year+ command.  By
  default, the displayed year is the year in which latex was last run
  on the document.
\item If you are a submitting a physical rather than an electronic
  copy, you must call the class with the option \texttt{nosignatures}.
  Use the options \texttt{oneside} and \texttt{twoside} as appropriate
  for how you print the document.
\item The class produces overfull and underfull \verb+\hbox+ errors.
  Pay them no mind. 
\item  I make no
  guarantees that this will not cause your computer to punch you in
  the face or other similar disasters.  This code is used entirely at
  your own risk.
