+\chapter{Introducing the {\tt withesis} \LaTeX{} Style Guide}
+This manual is was written to test the {\tt withesis} style
+file and to provide documentation for this style file.
+
+\section{History}
+The
+idea for this came from a similar manual written by James Darrell
+McCauley and Scott Hucker in 1993 for the Purdue University thesis
+style file. Content ideas were liberally borrowed from this document.
+The {\tt withesis} style file is based on the Purdue thesis file
+written by Dave Kraynie and edited by Darrell McCauley. This base was
+edited to meet the format requirements of the University of
+Wisconsin--Madison and several additional new commands were created.
+In addition, environments from the UW Mathematics Department were also
+incorporated.
+
+\section{Producing Your Thesis or Dissertation}
+The {\tt withesis} style file will take care of most of the formatting
+requirements for submitting your thesis or dissertation at the University
+of Wisconsin-Madison. There are some requirements on the printing of your
+document. From the Graduate School's {\em UW-Madison Guide To Preparing
+Your Doctoral Dissertation},
+\begin{quote}\singlespace
+Print your dissertation on a laser printer. (Some high quality dot-matrix
+printers may be acceptable.) The printer must produce output that
+meets all format and legibility requirements. A professional copy shop
+can produce an acceptable copy to be submitted to the Graduate School.
+Some copiers enlarge the original between one and two percent. To avoid
+problems with margins, produce the original copy with margins larger than
+the required minimum. Look carefully at the copy before paying for the
+services and ask for pages to be recopied if necessary. Common flaws are:
+smudges, copy lines, specks, missing pages, margin shifts, slanting of
+the printed image on the page, and poor paper quality.
+\end{quote}
+
+\subsection{Required Paper}
+The paper which is used for PhD Dissertations should be:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item 8-1/2 x 11 inches
+\item High-quality, white
+\item 20 pound weight, bond
+\end{itemize}
+
+While for Masters Theses, the paper should be:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item 8-1/2 x 11 inches
+\item White
+\item Acid-free or pH neutral
+\item 20 pound weight
+\item 25\% cotton bond minimum
+\end{itemize}
+
+Paper that meets these requirements can be purchased at book and stationery
+stores.
+
+\subsection{Copyright Page}
+\label{copyright}
+If you choose to retain and register copyright of the dissertation, prepare
+a copyright page using the {\tt withesis} {\tt \verb|\copyrightpage|} command.
+Center the text in the bottom third of the page within the dissertation
+margins. This page is not numbered. There is an additional fee for copyrighting
+your dissertation which is payable at the bursars office along with the
+microfilming and binding fee.
+
+\subsection{Prechecks}
+The Graduate School has reserved 9:00-9:30 each morning to answer specific formatting questions
+(for example: use of tables, graphs and charts). You may bring in 8-10
+pages to be reviewed. No appointment is necessary.
+
+\subsection{Final Checks}
+\sloppypar
+For information about the final Graduate School review and about depositing
+your dissertation in the library, see {\em The Three D's: Deadlines, Defending,
+Depositing Your Doctoral Dissertation} or look

+\section{Disclaimer}
+This software and documentation is provided ``as is'' without any
+express or implied warranty.
+While care has been taken by the authors of this style file such that the
+final product will probably meet the University of Wisconsin's formatting
+requirements this is not guaranteed.
