\section{Introduction}
-Formatting a dissertation according to a University's thesis requirements is not always a simple task in \LaTeX, especially since the requirements are generally aimed at MSWord users. Furthermore, most of the work of formatting a document is supposed to be done by the document class itself, and not by the individual user. Fortunately, Michigan State University's thesis requirements are for the most part sane, and fairly straightforward. The present class file is designed to further make the process easier for \LaTeX\ users, by doing all the heavy lifting for you, so that you can focus on the content and not the formatting.

\section{Background}
The MSU Thesis Class is based on the \pkg{memoir}\ document class. The \pkg{memoir}\ class is an extensive class that incorporates the functionality of many other packages into it. The class is extensively documented, and the documentation (\pkg{memman.pdf}) should be available with any \TeX\ distribution. I strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with \pkg{memoir}\ as you use the present class.

\subsection{Logical parts of the document}
-Most book-length documents are divided into three main kinds of parts: the front matter, the main matter, and the back matter. In \pkg{memoir}\ (and therefore \pkg{msu-thesis}) these sections are preceded by the commands |\frontmatter|, |\mainmatter|, and |\backmatter|. These commands tell the class when to change the page numbering, for example, front matter pages use lower case roman numerals, but main matter pages use arabic numerals.

In \pkg{memoir}\ (and therefore \pkg{msu-thesis}) these sections are preceded by the commands |\frontmatter|, and |\mainmatter|. The way the thesis office now structures the document means that the |\backmatter| should not be used. These commands tell the class when to change the page numbering, for example, front matter pages use lower case roman numerals, but main matter pages use arabic numerals.
The basic outline of a dissertation or thesis document is shown in Table~\ref{structure}: (your thesis may not have all of these parts, but if it does, they should be in this order.)

+\subsection{List of Abbreviations}
+Another common kind of list is a List of Abbreviations. The thesis office seems to think that these should be formatted identically to other lists, even though they are not really contents lists. Because of this I have added a built-in environment |{abbreviations}| and a helper macro to add elements to the list. The basic idea is the following: for each abbreviation/symbol you add to the list use the command |\abbrev{<abbreviation>}{<explanation>}|. This command takes two arguments, the first being the abbreviation itself, and the second the explanation of the abbreviation. For example, for a list of abbreviations containing the abbreviations MSU and MIT we would use the following code. The list is not automatically sorted, so you need to add abbreviations with |\abbrev| in exactly the order you want them to appear in the list.

-The thesis office is very inconsistent in how it determines what it thinks is a “double space”, and this especially seems to be true after the author name in the the abstract.

-
-Use the command |\setabstractnamespace| to change the spacing after the author name in the abstract (and the public abstract, if present). This command takes a value typically between -1 and and 1 where 0 reduces the space to a single baselineskip, while 1 adds an extra baselineskip. The default is set to 0. Depending on their mood at the time they check your thesis, the thesis office may want more or less space here, so use this command only to satisfy their bureaucratic self-importance.

If you have large figures and tables that must be rotated, you should use the |[lscape]| class option. This enables a pagestyle |lscape| and places the page numbers correctly on the long edge of the page. The option loads the \pkg{pdflscape}\ package which provides a |landscape| environment to place the landscape figure in. Before the landscape environment, you need to issue a |\clearpage| command and change the pagestyle to |lscape|, and afterwards, change it back to |plain|. Schematically, then, any landscape pages should be created in the following way.

\subsection{Archiving your thesis for the future}
Since the current version of the \pkg{msu-thesis}\ class satisfies the Graduate School requirements at any one time, as these requirements change, you may find that if you need to recompile your thesis after you have graduated that the formatting changes. To avoid this, I would recommend saving an archived version of the \pkg{msu-thesis.cls}\ file in the same folder as your thesis file. You only need to do this once you have completely finished your thesis however; there's no need to do it during the writing process.
\subsection{Major Version history}
-Previous versions of \pkg{msu-thesis}\ (versions 1.0--1.4b) were created for non-electronic submission and should not be used. Versions 1.5--1.6 (the first electronic submission versions) contained a |\makeabstract| command and a separate |msuabstract| environment. These have been removed as of version 1.7. Users who are upgrading from earlier versions to version 1.7 do not need to change these commands however but their use will trigger a warning.) Version 2.0 implemented landscape pages; version 2.1 added support for \pkg{hyperref}. Versions 2.2--2.5 mainly accommodated to the ever changing whims of the MSU Graduate School. Version 2.6 fixed some appendix bugs introduced by the previous whim accommodation. Version 2.7 fixed various small spacing issues, fixed a bug which prevented a new chapter page to be a landscape page, added support for the \pkg{apacite}\ package, and updated degree options. Version 2.8 fixed some spacing and capitalization issues and added support for the public abstract. Version 2.9 removed subscript/superscript size restrictions, added font size options and made small spacing changes to appease the thesis office. Version 3.0 added full support for per-chapter bibliographies and appendices, and automated bibliography spacing for |natbib| and |biblatex| produced bibliographies. Version 3.1 added support for an |{algorithm}| environment and a list of algorithms to combat incompatibilities with the \pkg{algorithm}\ and \pkg{algorithm2e}\ packages. Version 3.2 fixed some lingering problems with per-chapter appendices. Version 3.3 added code to accommodate the insane inconsistencies in formatting requirements that the thesis office requires, including a new contents option which hopefully should never be used, and fixed some numbering problems with per-chapter appendices. Version 3.4 added a starred option to the |\makecopyrightpage| command after complaints about placement. The documentation has also been updated to include more information about caption formatting and removed colons from the default caption format. Version 3.5 added user level way to change the spacing after the author’s name in the abstract, to deal with thesis office inconsistency.

Various spacing changes have been made which will make your document look like you used Word, but this is what the thesis office seems to care about.
