 \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 documentclass itself, and not by the individual user.  Fortunately, Michigan State University's thesis requirements are actually 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.

Fortunately, Michigan State University's thesis requirements are actually 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.
 \section{Package Options}
-In addition to any options passed to the \pkg{memoir} class (e.g. |oldfontcommands|; see Section \ref{sec:fonts}), the \pkg{msu-thesis} takes three options: one to specify the type of degree, (see Table~\ref{degrees}), one to enable landscape page numbering and one to make the Table of Contents prettier, but possibly non-compliant with the Formatting Guide.  If no degree option is specified, a Ph.D. dissertation is assumed.

 The Formatting Guide requires that any lansdscape pages be numbered in landscape mode (i.e. along the long edge of the page) rather than in portrait mode, and rotated in the final PDF. The |[lscape]| option enables this. The option loads both the \pkg{pdflscape} package and \pkg{tikz}, and is implemented as a class option so that you are not required to load those packages if they are not needed.
 \subsection{The contents options}
 In 2013 I received reports that the thesis office now requires all elements in the Table of Contents to have the same formatting as they are in the main document, which means that all section, subsection, and subsubsection headings need to be bold.  Since this looks very ugly, I have created two options to turn it off, the |[plaintoc]| option (which makes all TOC entries plain) and |[mixedtoc]| option (which makes Chapters bold and other elements plain). I suspect that the thesis office checkers don't notice this all the time so if you want to have a prettier table of contents and are willing to have that format be corrected, you can use these options to turn off the MSWord inspired ugliness of an entirely bold Table of Contents. I've made |[plaintoc]| the default.  If you are forced by the thesis office to have an entirely bold TOC, use the |[boldtoc]| option.

 The class itself sets up the margins, page numbering, and formatting of all of the required pieces.  It doesn't put everything in the right order, so you are responsible for that.  The best way to do this is to use the included sample \LaTeX\ file as a basic template for your thesis.
 \subsection{Line Spacing}
 The \pkg{memoir} class provides commands for single and double spacing (|\SingleSpacing| and |\DoubleSpacing|) most of your thesis will be double spaced, but certain parts (such as the table of contents, lists of figures/tales, bibliography) may be single spaced. This duplicates the functionality of the \pkg{setspace} package, which therefore should not be used.
+
+Please note that although bibliography entries must be single spaced, there must be a space between each entry. This parameter is set by your bibliography package. If you are using |natbib| it is |\bibsep| and if you are using |biblatex| it is |\bibitemsep|.
 \subsection{Font changing commands}\label{sec:fonts}
 \sloppy The \pkg{memoir} class enforces the so-called ``new'' font changing commands (although they have now been in use for many years.) This means that it does not allow you to use the commands |\bf|, |\it|, |\rm|, etc.  Unfortunately there are some old packages that still use these commands, and there is also some outdated information on the web that might have examples using these commands. You should generally not use these commands (see \href{http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2letterfontcmd}{Two Letter Font Commands}); if you do encounter problems, you can pass the option |oldfontcommands| to the class.
 \subsection{Extra Packages}
 The \pkg{memoir} class replicates the functionality of many independent packages, so if you are transferring \LaTeX\ source from other documents using the \pkg{article} class, you may encounter some warnings or errors.  The \pkg{memoir} documentation has substantial information about the packages it emulates, and the packages for which it provides equivalent functionality.  See Chap. 18 Sec. 24 of the \pkg{memoir} manual for details.  Quoting from the manual:
-\begin{quote} \pkg{memoir} emulates the following packages: {\sffamily abstract, appendix, array, booktabs, ccaption, chngcntr, crop, dcolumn, delarray, enumerate, epigraph, ifmtarg, ifpdf, index, makeidx, moreverb, needspace, newfile, nextpage, pagenote, patchcmd, parskip, setspace, shortvrb, showidx, tabularx, titleref, tocbibind, tocloft, verbatim}, and {\sffamily verse}. It also provides functions equivalent to those in the following packages, although the class does not prevent you from using them: {\sffamily fancyhdr, framed, geometry, sidecap, subfigure}, and \sffamily{titlesec}.\\\hfill{\normalfont\emph{The Memoir Class} 8th Ed. 2010, p.345}

+\end{quote}
+\subsection{Captions}
+\subsubsection{Caption delimiter}
+Because the thesis office doesn't understand anything about punctuation it requires the colon that would appear in a caption to also appear in the contents lists. Since they don't care about the colon itself, but just consistency I've removed colons from the captions entirely, since leaving it in makes the contents lists look really stupid. But in case you or your advisor want the colon in captions, you can add the colon back in by using the Memoir command |\captiondelim{:\space}| and the class will make sure the Lists of Tables and Figures match in formatting. 
+\subsubsection{New lists}
+If you are using other kinds of floats such as listings, you should use the Memoir |\newlistof| command to make the relevant list. The class provides a macro |\msucaptiondelim| which can be used to make sure the formatting of the captions in the list-of-X match the setting you have for Figures and Tables.  Here is an example of how you would add a listings list. The following code goes in your preamble:
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{lstlisting}
+\newlistof{listoflistings}{lol}{List of Listings}
+\newfloat[chapter]{listing}{lol}{Listing}
+\newlistentry{listing}{lol}{0}
+\renewcommand*{\cftlistingname}{Listing\space}
+\renewcommand*{\cftlistingaftersnum}{\msucaptiondelim}
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{quote}
+
+Then in your front matter you include a |\listoflistings| in the same way you would add the |\listoffigures| or |\listoftables| (preceded by a |\clearpage|).  In your actual document you would use. (Note that this code doesn't actually format a listing as code; you would further embed your favourite code listing environment inside this environment.)

 \subsection{Landscape figures and tables}
-If you have large figures and tables that must be rotated, you should use the |[lscape]| 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.

 The |landscape| environment makes all pages within it landscape, so if you have multiple landscape figures in a row, you can put all of them inside a single |landscape| environment. This option correctly rotates the landscape pages within the pdf document itself, which the thesis office seems to require.
+\subsection{Appendices}
+Appendices in a thesis are usually at the end of the document, but before the bibliography. MSU requires appendices to be preceded by a cover page which says either ``Appendix'' (if there is only one) or ``Appendices'' if there is more than one. Memoir deals with multiple appendices  by using an |appendices| environment.
+\subsubsection{Single appendix}
+If you have a single appendix, your code should look like this:

+\chapter{Your appendix title}

+Appendix text goes here

+Appendix text goes here
+\end{appendices}
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{quote}
+
+\subsubsection{Appendices per chapter}
+If you need to add an appendix or appendices to a chapter, you should use the |subappendices| environment and use |\section| for each appendix. So your code should look like this:

+\item If you are having problems with the Thesis office about non-conforming formatting, please check first whether you have a local copy of the class instead of the latest version distributed via CTAN. The log file will reflect the date of the current version number. Remember if you are using the most current and updated TeXLive or MikTeX you will automatically have the latest version already and you should not need to install a local version.
 \item If your title is long and you want to put a newline (|\\|) into it to improve the spacing, you must precede the newline with |\protect|.
 \item Make sure you pay attention to any ``Overfull hbox'' warnings when you are producing your final copy. You should make sure you eliminate all of them or else the thesis office is likely to reject your thesis. One common way to eliminate such warnings is to place the command |\sloppy| at the beginning of the paragraph that triggers the warning. You should only use this technique at the very end when you are completely done with everything.  Alternatively, rewording the text may also fix things. 
 \item Remember to use the |\tableofcontents*| command so that your table of contents is not listed in the table of contents.
-\item Remember to use the command |\appendices| instead of |\appendix| if you have more than one appendix.
-\item Remember to add the |\makebibliographycover| command before your bibliography.
+\item Remember to use the |appendices| environment instead of |\appendix| if you have more than one appendix.

 \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{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.
