+Introduction
+
+The origin of this style file came directly from my horrible experience trying
+to write a technical Master's thesis using "a popular word processor." It was at
+that time that I decided that it would be best to bite the bullet and simply
+learn TEX and not have to deal with that nightmare again for my PhD thesis.
+
+Unfortunately, at the time I was writing my Ph.D. thesis, Penn State did not
+provide any support for TEX users. Although there were several style files
+floating around different departments, they seemed to me as a novice user to
+require quite a bit of effort to use them. The style file itself had to be
+changed, i.e. lines commented out or uncommented, and there was no
+documentation. My goal was to merge together parts of various style files and
+make a single package whose features could all be accessed through issuing
+simple LATEX commands in the document rather than editing the style file itself.
+
+I received my PhD in December of 2000 and did the development work on this
+package then. I wrote most of this documentation in 2002 and then came back to
+it in 2008 when I realized I could upload it to CTAN and make it available to
+other people. A fair amount of work went into it and I thought others could
+benefit. As of 2000, the Penn State Thesis Office had no interest in having
+anything to do with a LATEX style file and only maintained templates for
+"popular word processors." I'm sure they still feel the same way.
+
+Note that I have not reviewed the thesis guidelines since 2000 and they may have
+changed. When I submitted my thesis in 2000, it passed Thesis Office scrutiny
+using this package. The committee page was contributed from a 2004 thesis, and
+incorporated "as-is," with appropriate logic to include it or not.
+
+There are few guidelines for the main body of the thesis, so nearly all of the
+provided commands can be classified as either front matter or back matter. These
+commands are used to set up the title page, abstract, appendices, and so forth.
+There are some commands which do not fall into these two categories which are
+provided at the end. A summary of the commands is provided below.
+
+Note that the setspace package is a separate LATEX package, not something
+developed at PSU. It is a required package because the line spacing and some of
+the commands in the psu-thesis style file rely on commands in the setspace style
+file.
+
+To include the style file (and bibliographic style file psuthesis.bst) in your
+thesis document, simply issue the command \usepackage{psu-thesis} in the
+preamble after the documentclass command and \usepackage{doublespace} command
+since many of the psu-thesis commands rely on the doublespace package. It is
+also intended to be used with the report document class:
+
+\documentclass[dvips,11pt,twoside]{report}
+\usepackage{doublespace}
+\usepackage{psu-thesis}
+\bibliographystyle{psuthesis}
+
+The package was set up with both one-sided and two-sided printing in mind, so
+the optional arguments oneside and twoside to the report document class can be
+used and the macros provided in this package will adapt accordingly.
+
+
+Package Options
+
+The following options are available:
+
+master
+doctor
+signature
+draft
+
+The first two package options, master and doctor are available which set
+defaults for those thesis types:
+
+master                                  doctor
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Set  degree  to  "Master  of  Science"  Set  degree  to  "Doctor  of Philosophy"
+Permission to Copy Page                 Committee  Page
+List of Tables                          List of Tables
+List of Figures                         List of Figures
+
+The signature option will include the signature page, which has since been
+supplanted by the committee page. The \includesignature command in the preamble
+produces the same effect.
+
+The draft option is useful for version control of drafts of your thesis while it
+is being written. It produces a box with the date the document was produced at
+the top of every page,
+
++-------------------------------------+
+|Draft: June 26, 2008 at 1:32 am      | 
++-------------------------------------+
+
+You can also place the \draft command in the preamble to activate this feature.
+
+
+Front Matter
+
+Most of the commands provided are related to the front matter. Commands can be
+divided into three groups, commands which set information for the title page,
+commands to set up the signature page, and commands to include and format the
+other front matter items.
+
+The front matter definition commands can be issued either in the preamble or
+within the document itself. The only command that is required to appear within
+the document is the \makefrontmatter command which generates and outputs all of
+the frontmatter material based on the other commands issued. Of course if the
+commands to create the front matter parts are not in the preamble, they must
+appear before the \makefrontmatter command.
+
+
+Title Page Information
+
+A variety of general information is required for the style file to format the
+title page, signature page, and so forth. These commands to input the
+information are straightforward. The appropriate information is simply the
+argument of the command:
+
+\title{} thesis title (it should be in all caps; this is not automatic)
+\author{} thesis author \dept{} academic department in which thesis is earned
+\college{} college the above department belongs to \submitdate{} month and year
+of submission/publication of thesis \copyrightyear{} year of publication of
+thesis (for title and copyright pages) \degree{} degree being obtained, e.g.
+"Doctor of Philosophy"
+
+The thesis type is set to produce "A Thesis in..." by default but can be changed
+to "A Thesis Proposal in..." with the \proposal command or "A Dissertation in"
+with the \dissertation command.
+
+Additionally, the \includecopyrightline command will include a copyright line on
+the title page using the copyright year and author information supplied.
+Alternatively, the command \includecopyrightpage will cause a separate copyright
+page to be output immediately following the title page. Both the title page line
+and separate page can be included, but only one is recommended.
+
+
+Signature/Committee Page Information
+
+The signature and committee pages can be set up with up to six thesis readers
+using the \includesignature and \includecommittee commands, respectively. A
+suite of commands are included to aid in the formatting of the signature and
+committee pages. Headings and spacing are set automatically. The author
+information is taken from the \author{} command above. Each reader is added with
+a consecutive command, i.e.
+
+\firstreader{}{}
+\secondreader{}{}
+\thirdreader{}{}
+\fourthreader{}{}
+\fifthreader{}{}
+\sixthreader{}{}
+
+Each reader command requires two arguments. The first is the reader's name,
+and the second is the title and affiliation of that reader, for example
+\firstreader{Isaac Newton}{Professor of Mathematics} would produce
+
+
+------------------------------------------------        -------------------
+Isaac Newton
+Professor of Mathematics
+
+for the signature page and similar without the lines for the committee page. The
+signature page is optional, and can be included with \includesignature in the
+preamble or the signature package option. It is not numbered, so it can be bound
+with the author's personal copy and the page numbers will not differ from the
+reference copy.
+
+Several macros have been defined to format the reader affiliations. First,
+macros are defined to identify the professor as assistant, associate, or full
+professor:
+
+\assistprof{}
+\assocprof{}
+\prof{}
+
+Additionally, the macro head{} is defined to identify that the reader is the
+head of the department. The Thesis Office likes to see both \prof{} and \head{}
+for department heads. Macros are provided for additional information as follows:
+
+Macro Command     Text Produced 
+-------------     -------------
+\adviser          Thesis Adviser 
+\coadviser        Thesis Co-Adviser 
+\chair            Chair of Committee 
+\cochair          Co-Chair of Committee 
+\adviserchair     Thesis Adviser, Chair of Committee 
+\coadviserchair   Thesis Co-Adviser, Co-Chair of Committee 
+
+These macros are not necessarily of much value since it is nearly as easy to
+simply type the appropriate information into the document rather than using the
+macros, but several style files I came across contained such shortcuts, so they
+were retained in this package.
+
+For example, either
+
+\secondreader{Isaac  Newton}{\prof{Mathematics}\head{Mathematics}
+\adviserchair}
+
+or
+
+\secondreader{Isaac  Newton}{Professor  of  Physics  \\
+Head  of  Department  of  Physics  \\
+Thesis  Adviser,  Chair  of  Committee}
+
+would produce
+
+------------------------------------------------        -------------------
+Isaac Newton
+Professor of Physics 
+Head of Department of Physics
+Thesis Adviser, Chair of Committee
+
+
+Permission to Copy Page
+
+The permission to copy page is produced with the \includepermission command. The
+name is taken from the \author entry. No other input is  required since the
+required text is given in the thesis guide.
+
+
+List of Symbols
+
+Three macros are included for the List of Symbols. The first,
+\listofsymbols[width]{}, causes the List of Symbols to be included in the
+frontmatter. The List of Symbols itself is the required argument, which can of
+course be entered directly or in a separate file and accessed with an \input or
+similar command.
+
+The second macro is to aid in generating the symbol list and takes the form
+
+\symbolentry{symbol}{definition}
+
+The command outputs the symbol and definition in two columns. The definition
+column is in paragraph form, so manual line breaking is not necessary. The width
+of the symbol column is set by the optional argument [width] in the
+\listofsymbols[width]{} command. The default is 1 inch. The definition column
+will be the remainder of the page, i.e. \textwidth-width. To change the width in
+the middle of the list of symbols, use the command \setsymwidth{width}. It
+redefines the symbol width and automatically adjusts the description width to
+the remainder of the page.
+
+By default, the first argument is output in math mode, but plain text symbols
+can be created with \mbox{}. For example, \symbolentry{g}{Acceleration due to
+Gravity} produces
+
+
+g        Acceleration  due  to  gravity
+
+
+Unformatted Front Matter Pages
+
+The remaining frontmatter pages do not include any formatting, hence commands
+are provided for the sole purpose of determining whether to include each page or
+not, and placing them in the correct order. They can be defined in any order but
+will appear in a specific order when the document is processed. These front
+matter items can be included are in two groups, commands which merely include
+the associated item, and commands which include the item and define its
+contents. The items will be output in the following order if the corresponding
+command is present:
+
+Macro Command Front Matter Item
+
+\includecopyrightpage                 Copyright Page 
+\includepermission                    Permission to Copy Page (For MS Theses) 
+\includesignature                     Signature Page (For PhD Theses) 
+\includecommittee                     Committee Page (For PhD Theses)
+\dedicationtext{content}              Dedication 
+\abstracttext{content}                Abstract
+                     (Table  of  Contents)  
+\includelistoffigures                 List  of  Figures
+\includelistoftables                  List  of  Tables  
+\listofsymbols[wid]{content}          List  of Symbols
+\dedicationtext{content}              Dedication
+\prefacetext{content}                 Preface
+\acknowltext{content}                 Acknowledgements  
+\epigraphtext{content}                Epigraph
+\frontispiece{content}                Frontispiece
+
+For my thesis the content for each of these was an \include command to include a
+separate file, but you can put your actual content in the braces if you like.
+
+
+Back Matter
+
+There is considerably less back matter than front matter, but unfortunately, the
+thesis office wants some of the items to appear differently than the LATEX
+defaults. The following macros are provided to format the back matter items to
+the thesis office standards.
+
+
+Appendices
+
+Two commands are provided for inclusion of appendices, \singleappendix and
+\appendices. The reason for these is that the thesis office wants a single
+appendix to be called "Appendix" and LATEX treats it as a chapter and by default
+if the \appendix command was issued, would call it "Appendix A" and would put
+"A" in the table of contents. The provided macros \singleappendix and
+\appendices format the appendix/appendices to be called "Appendix" in both the
+text and the table of contents in the case of a single appendix and have the
+letters prefaced by the word "Appendix" in the table of contents in the case of
+multiple appendices.
+
+The appropriate command should be issued, followed by a \chapter command to
+provide a title for the appendix,
+
+\singleappendix \chapter{Appendix name} <text of appendix>
+
+or
+
+\appendices \chapter{First appendix name} <text of appendix>
+\chapter{Second appendix name} <text of appendix>
+
+etc.
+
+
+Bibliography Entry
+
+Unfortunately, the bibliography is also not included in the table of contents by
+default. A command is provided to include the bibliography in the table of
+contents and single space the list of references. The command is
+\includebibliography{}. Unlike the other "include" commands, the
+\includebibliography{} command takes an argument which is the bibliography
+itself. This is for single space formatting. Simply include the bibliographic
+entries as its argument to print out the bibliography. Using LATEX features is
+fine, so the command would likely be
+
+\includebibliography{\bibliography{refs}}
+
+if BibTEX is used. The psuthesis.bst style file is included for producing a
+bibliography with BibTEX.
+
+
+Vita
+
+A command \vita{} is provided to include a vita/curriculum vitae at the end of
+the thesis. It is not required by the thesis office, but many like to include
+it. The argument is the vita itself, most likely an \input{} or \include command
+linking to a file containing the vita. The macro provides a clean page and the
+author name from the front matter.
+
+
+UMI Abstract
+
+The UMI Abstract is required by the thesis office for PhD theses. UMI keeps your
+thesis on file and if you read the fine print, keeps your royalties unless a lot
+of people request your thesis in a given year. The UMI abstract is not bound
+with the thesis, but it can be placed at the end so a whole separate document is
+not required. The command \UMIabstract{} formats the specific header required by
+UMI using information from the front matter and includes the abstract supplied
+as the argument. The UMI abstract has a word limit (consult the thesis guide for
+details), but if the thesis abstract falls within the word limit it can be the
+same for both. The abstract is printed without a page number since it is not
+bound with the thesis.
+
+
+Numbering by Chapter
+
+The \numberbychapter command changes the numbering scheme for figures, tables,
+and equations to follow the chapters so that they are numbered 1.1, 1.2, 1.3,
+... in the first chapter, and 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, ... in the second chapter and so
+forth. This command should always be included to follow thesis office
+guidelines. Include it in the preamble to activate.
+
+
+Other notes
+
+There may be other commands hiding in the style file that are not documented
+here. These instructions and the sample files were thrown together to try to
+make the package usable without people tracking down my email address and asking
+me about them. The mssample and phdsample files are provided to show how many of
+the features work in for MS and PhD theses. Feel free to look through the .sty
+file itself and discover commands I forgot to document in these instructions. If
+you know enough about TEX and LATEX to be using them to write a thesis, you can
+figure it out.
+
+Finally, I put together much of the style file by piecing together parts of
+other style files that I picked up from various people. Some of the macros
+identify who wrote them, and I preserved the original author information if
+present, even if I modified the macros. So if there is some piece of code in the
+style file that you wrote but isn't credited to you, thank you for your
+contribution and it wasn't me who took your name out.
+
+I hope you find the package helpful, if so, please tell the Thesis Office they
+should support LATEX and/or tell your friends about this macro package.

+\section*{Introduction}
+
+The origin of this style file came directly from my horrible experience trying
+to write a technical Master's thesis using ``a popular word processor.''  It
+was at that time that I decided that it would be best to bite the bullet
+and simply learn \TeX\ and not have to deal with that nightmare again for my
+PhD thesis. 
+
+Unfortunately, at the time I was writing my Ph.D. thesis, Penn State did not
+provide any support for \TeX\ users. Although there were several style files
+floating around different departments, they seemed to me as a novice user to
+require quite a bit of effort to use them.  The style file itself had to be

+documentation.  My goal was to merge together parts of various style files and
+make a single package whose features could all be accessed through issuing
+simple \LaTeX\ commands in the document rather than editing the style file
+itself.
+

+package then.  I wrote most of this documentation in 2002 and then came back to
+it in 2008 when I realized I could upload it to CTAN and make it available to

+having anything to do with a \LaTeX\ style file and only maintained templates
+for ``popular word processors.''  I'm sure they still feel the same way.
+
+{\bfseries Note that I have not reviewed the thesis guidelines since 2000 and
+they may have changed.  When I submitted my thesis in 2000, it passed Thesis
+Office scrutiny using this package.  The committee page was contributed from a
+2004 thesis, and incorporated ``as-is,'' with appropriate logic to include it or
+not.}
+
+There are few guidelines for the main body of the thesis, so nearly all of the
+provided commands can be classified as either front matter or back matter. 
+These commands are used to set up the title page, abstract, appendices, and so
+forth.  There are some commands which do not fall into these two categories
+which are provided at the end.  A summary of the commands is provided below.
+
+Note that the setspace package is a separate \LaTeX package, not something
+developed at PSU.  It is a required package because the line spacing and some of
+the commands in the psu-thesis style file rely on commands in the setspace style
+file.  
+
+To include the style file (and bibliographic style file psuthesis.bst) in your
+thesis document, simply issue the command \verb+\usepackage{psu-thesis}+ in the
+preamble \emph{after} the \verb+documentclass+ command  and
+\verb+\usepackage{doublespace}+ command since many of the psu-thesis commands
+rely on the doublespace package.  It is also intended to be used with the
+\verb+report+ document class:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\documentclass[dvips,11pt,twoside]{report}
+\usepackage{doublespace}
+\usepackage{psu-thesis}
+\bibliographystyle{psuthesis}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The package was set up with both one-sided and two-sided printing in mind, so
+the optional arguments \verb+oneside+ and \verb+twoside+ to the report document
+class can be used and the macros provided in this package will adapt
+accordingly.
+
+\section*{Package Options}
+
+The following options are available:
+\begin{verbatim}
+master
+doctor
+signature
+draft
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The first two package options, \verb+master+ and \verb+doctor+ are available
+which set defaults for those thesis types:
+
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+\verb+master+ & \verb+doctor+ \\ \hline
+Set degree to ``Master of Science'' & Set degree to ``Doctor of Philosophy'' \\
+Permission to Copy Page             & Committee Page  \\
+List of Tables                      & List of Tables    \\
+List of Figures                     & List of Figures 
+\end{tabular}
+
+The \verb+signature+ option will include the signature page, which has since
+been supplanted by the committee page.  The \verb+\includesignature+ command in
+the preamble produces the same effect.
+
+The \verb+draft+ option is useful for version control of drafts of your
+thesis while it is being written.  It produces a box with the date the document
+was produced at the top of every page,
+
+\noindent\usebox{\draftbox}
+
+You can also place the \verb+\draft+ command in the preamble to activate this
+feature.
+
+\section*{Front Matter}
+
+Most of the commands provided are related to the front matter.  Commands can be
+divided into three groups,  commands which set information for the title page,
+commands to set up the signature page, and commands to include and format the
+other front matter items.  
+
+The front matter definition commands can be issued either in the preamble or
+within the document itself.  The only command that is required to appear within
+the document is the \verb+\makefrontmatter+ command which generates and outputs
+all of the frontmatter material based on the other commands issued.  Of course
+if the commands to create the front matter parts are not in the preamble, they
+must appear \emph{before} the \verb+\makefrontmatter+ command.
+
+\subsection*{Title Page Information}
+
+A variety of general information is required for the style file to format the
+title page, signature page, and so forth.  These commands to input the
+information are straightforward.  The appropriate information is simply the
+argument of the command:
+
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+\verb+\title{}+ & thesis title (it should be in all caps; this is not automatic)\\
+\verb+\author{}+ & thesis author \\
+\verb+\dept{}+ & academic department in which thesis is earned \\
+\verb+\college{}+ & college the above department belongs to \\
+\verb+\submitdate{}+ & month and year of submission/publication of thesis \\
+\verb+\copyrightyear{}+ & year of publication of thesis (for title and copyright
+pages) \\
+\verb+\degree{}+ & degree being obtained, e.g. ``Doctor of Philosophy'' 
+\end{tabular}
+
+The thesis type is set to produce ``A Thesis in...'' by default but can be
+changed to ``A Thesis Proposal in...'' with the \verb+\proposal+ command or ``A
+Dissertation in'' with the \verb+\dissertation+ command.
+
+Additionally, the \verb+\includecopyrightline+ command will include a copyright
+line on the title page using the copyright year and author information supplied.
+Alternatively, the command \verb+\includecopyrightpage+ will cause a separate
+copyright page to be output immediately following the title page.  Both the
+title page line and separate page can be included, but only one is recommended.
+
+\subsection*{Signature/Committee Page Information}
+
+The signature and committee pages can be set up with up to six thesis readers
+using the \verb+\includesignature+ and \verb+\includecommittee+ commands,
+respectively.  A suite of commands are included to aid in the formatting of the
+signature and committee pages.  Headings and spacing are set automatically.  The
+author information is taken from the \verb+\author{}+ command above.  Each
+reader is added with a consecutive command, i.e.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\firstreader{}{}
+\secondreader{}{}
+\thirdreader{}{}
+\fourthreader{}{}
+\fifthreader{}{}
+\sixthreader{}{}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Each reader command requires two arguments.  The first is the reader's name, and
+the second is the title and affiliation of that reader, for example
+
+\noindent\verb+\firstreader{Isaac Newton}{Professor of Mathematics}+ 
+
+\noindent would produce \vspace{0.25in}
+
+\signature{Isaac Newton \\ Professor of Mathematics \\}
+
+\vspace{0.25in}
+
+\noindent for the signature page and similar without the lines for the committee
+page. The signature page is optional, and can be included with 
+\verb+\includesignature+ in the preamble or the \verb+signature+ package option.
+It is not numbered, so it can be bound with the author's personal copy and the
+page numbers will not differ from the reference copy.
+
+Several macros have been defined to format the reader affiliations.  First,
+macros are defined to identify the professor as assistant, associate, or full
+professor:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\assistprof{}
+\assocprof{}
+\prof{}
+\end{verbatim}
+\noindent Additionally, the macro \verb+head{}+ is defined to identify that the
+reader is the head of the department.  The Thesis Office likes to see both
+\verb+\prof{}+ and \verb+\head{}+ for department heads.
+
+Macros are provided for additional information as follows:
+
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+Macro Command & Text Produced \\ \hline
+\verb+\adviser+ & Thesis Adviser \\
+\verb+\coadviser+ & Thesis Co-Adviser \\
+\verb+\chair+ & Chair of Committee \\
+\verb+\cochair+ & Co-Chair of Committee \\
+\verb+\adviserchair+ & Thesis Adviser, Chair of Committee \\
+\verb+\coadviserchair+ & Thesis Co-Adviser, Co-Chair of Committee
+\end{tabular}
+
+These macros are not necessarily of much value since it is nearly as easy to
+simply type the appropriate information into the document rather than using the
+macros, but several style files I came across contained such shortcuts, so they
+were retained in this package.
+
+For example, either
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\secondreader{Isaac Newton}{\prof{Mathematics}\head{Mathematics}
+\adviserchair} \end{verbatim}
+
+\noindent or
+
+\noindent\begin{verbatim}
+\secondreader{Isaac Newton}{Professor of Physics \\ 
+Head of Department of Physics \\ Thesis Adviser, Chair of Committee}
+\end{verbatim}
+ 
+\noindent would produce \vspace{0.25in}
+
+\signature{Isaac Newton \\ Professor of Physics \\
+  Head of Department of Physics \\ Thesis Adviser, Chair of Committee}
+
+\vspace{0.25in}
+
+
+\subsection*{Permission to Copy Page}
+
+The permission to copy page is produced with the \verb+\includepermission+
+command.  The name is taken from the \verb+\author+ entry.  No other input is
+required since the required text is given in the thesis guide.
+
+\subsection*{List of Symbols}
+
+Three macros are included for the List of Symbols.  The first,
+\verb+\listofsymbols[width]{}+, causes the List of Symbols to be included in the
+frontmatter.  The List of Symbols itself is the required argument, which can of
+course be entered directly or in a separate file and accessed with an
+\verb+\input+ or similar command.  
+
+The second macro is to aid in generating the symbol list and takes the form
+
+\noindent \verb+\symbolentry{symbol}{definition}+  
+
+The command outputs the symbol and definition in two columns.  The definition
+column is in paragraph form, so manual line breaking is not necessary.  The
+width of the symbol column is set by the optional argument \verb+[width]+ in
+the \verb+\listofsymbols[width]{}+ command.  The default is 1 inch.  The
+definition column will be the remainder of the page, i.e.
+\verb+\textwidth-width+.  To change the width in the middle of the list of
+symbols, use the command \verb+\setsymwidth{width}+.  It redefines the symbol
+width and automatically adjusts the description width to the remainder of the
+page.
+
+By default, the first argument is output in math mode, but plain
+text symbols can be created with \verb+\mbox{}+.  For example,
+\verb+\symbolentry{g}{Acceleration due to Gravity}+ produces
+
+\symbolentry{g}{Acceleration due to gravity}
+
+\subsection*{Unformatted Front Matter Pages}
+
+The remaining frontmatter pages do not include any formatting, hence commands
+are provided for the sole purpose of determining whether to include each page or
+not, and placing them in the correct order.   They can be defined in any order
+but will appear in a specific order when the document is processed.  These front
+matter items can be included are in two groups, commands which merely include
+the associated item, and commands which include the item and define its
+contents.  The items will be output in the following order if the corresponding
+command is present:
+
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+Macro Command & Front Matter Item \\ \hline
+\verb+\includecopyrightpage+      & Copyright Page \\
+\verb+\includepermission+         & Permission to Copy Page (For MS Theses) \\
+\verb+\includesignature+          & Signature Page (For PhD Theses) \\
+\verb+\includecommittee+          & Committee Page (For PhD Theses) \\
+\verb+\dedicationtext{content}+   & Dedication \\
+\verb+\abstracttext{content}+     & Abstract \\
+\multicolumn{2}{c}{(Table of Contents)} \\
+\verb+\includelistoffigures+      & List of Figures \\
+\verb+\includelistoftables+       & List of Tables \\
+\verb+\listofsymbols[wid]{content}+ & List of Symbols \\
+\verb+\dedicationtext{content}+   & Dedication \\
+\verb+\prefacetext{content}+      & Preface \\
+\verb+\acknowltext{content}+      & Acknowledgements \\
+\verb+\epigraphtext{content}+     & Epigraph \\
+\verb+\frontispiece{content}+     & Frontispiece
+\end{tabular}
+\vspace{12pt}
+
+For my thesis the content for each of these was an \verb+\include+ command to
+include a separate file, but you can put your actual content in the braces if
+you like.
+
+\section*{Back Matter}
+
+There is considerably less back matter than front matter, but unfortunately, the
+thesis office wants some of the items to appear differently than the \LaTeX\
+defaults.  The following macros are provided to format the back matter items
+to the thesis office standards.
+
+\subsection*{Appendices}
+
+Two commands are provided for inclusion of appendices, \verb+\singleappendix+
+and \verb+\appendices+.  The reason for these is that the thesis office wants a
+single appendix to be called ``Appendix'' and \LaTeX\ treats it as a chapter and
+by default if the \verb+\appendix+ command was issued, would call it ``Appendix
+A'' and would put ``A'' in the table of contents.  The provided macros
+\verb+\singleappendix+ and \verb+\appendices+ format the appendix/appendices to
+be called ``Appendix'' in both the text and the table of contents in the case of
+a single appendix and have the letters prefaced by the word ``Appendix'' in the
+table of contents in the case of multiple appendices.  
+
+The appropriate command
+should be issued, followed by a \verb+\chapter+ command to provide a title for
+the appendix, 
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\singleappendix \chapter{Appendix name}
+<text of appendix>
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\noindent or 
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\appendices \chapter{First appendix name}
+<text of appendix>
+
+\chapter{Second appendix name}
+<text of appendix>
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\noindent etc.
+
+\subsection*{Bibliography Entry} Unfortunately, the bibliography is also not
+included in the table of contents by default.  A command is provided to include
+the bibliography in the table of contents and single space the list of
+references.  The command is \verb+\includebibliography{}+.  Unlike the other
+``include'' commands, the \verb+\includebibliography{}+ command takes an
+argument which is the bibliography itself.  This is for single space
+formatting.  Simply include the bibliographic entries as its argument to print
+out the bibliography.  Using \LaTeX features is fine, so the command would
+likely be
+
+\noindent \verb+\includebibliography{\bibliography{refs}}+
+
+\noindent if \BibTeX\ is used. The psuthesis.bst style file is included for
+producing a bibliography with \BibTeX.
+
+\subsection*{Vita}
+
+A command \verb+\vita{}+ is provided to include a vita/\emph{curriculum vitae}
+at the end of the thesis.  It is not required by the thesis office, but many
+like to include it.  The argument is the vita itself, most likely an
+\verb+\input{}+ or \verb+\include+ command linking to a file containing the
+vita.  The macro provides a clean page and the author name from the front
+matter.
+
+\subsection*{UMI Abstract}  
+
+The UMI Abstract is required by the thesis office for PhD theses.  UMI keeps
+your thesis on file and if you read the fine print, keeps your royalties unless
+a lot of people request your thesis in a given year.  The UMI abstract is not
+bound with the thesis, but it can be placed at the end so a whole separate
+document is not required.  The command \verb+\UMIabstract{}+ formats the
+specific header required by UMI using information from the front matter and
+includes the abstract supplied as the argument.  The UMI abstract has a word
+limit (consult the thesis guide for details), but if the thesis abstract falls
+within the word limit it can be the same for both.  The abstract is printed
+without a page number since it is not bound with the thesis.
+
+\section*{Numbering by Chapter}
+
+The \verb+\numberbychapter+ command changes the numbering scheme for figures,
+tables, and equations to follow the chapters so that they are numbered 1.1,
+1.2, 1.3, ... in the first chapter, and 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, ... in the second
+chapter and so forth.  This command should always be included to follow thesis
+office guidelines.  Include it in the preamble to activate.
+
+
+\section*{Other notes}
+
+There may be other commands hiding in the style file that are not documented
+here.  These instructions and the sample files were thrown together to try to
+make the package usable without people tracking down my email address and asking
+me about them.  The \verb+mssample+ and \verb+phdsample+ files are provided to
+show how many of the features work in for MS and PhD theses.  Feel free to look
+through the .sty file itself and discover commands I forgot to document in these
+instructions.  If you know enough about \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ to be using them to
+write a thesis, you can figure it out.
+
+Finally, I put together much of the style file by piecing together parts of
+other style files that I picked up from various people.  Some of the macros
+identify who wrote them, and I preserved the original author information if
+present, even if I modified the macros.  So if there is some piece of code in
+the style file that you wrote but isn't credited to you, thank you for your
+contribution and it wasn't me who took your name out.
+
+I hope you find the package helpful, if so, please tell the Thesis Office they
+should support \LaTeX\ and/or tell your friends about this macro package.

+This is a sample masters thesis.  It has two skeleton chapters and two
+appendices with simple figures and tables so that the lists and tables are
