+% \subsection{The \texttt{classica} option}
+% As mentioned above, the \texttt{classica} option was devised in order to cope with theses
+% in humanities and the specifications came from Paolo Ciacchi, a student of the University
+% of Trieste, who was preparing a master thesis in classical Greek philology. The necessity
+% of the large normal size derived from the necessity of having clear mark-up signs among
+% the myriad philologists use, that sometimes let me believe that the philological mark-up
+% requires typesetting environments similar to the mathematical ones, since the material to
+% be typeset does not form a linear sequence, as in plain text, but a bi-dimensional
+% structure as in mathematics.
+%
+% The other requirements involve the title page and I agreed to implement them, since they
+% are likely to be useful for other universities as well; the effort for localizing this
+% bundle makes this point less stringent compared to the previous versions, but there are
+% other layout fine points that cannot be solved with a simple substitution of infix
+% strings.
+%
+% The singular and plural masculine and feminine strings for ``candidate'' are redefined.
+% For other languages the configuration file comes in handy.
+%    \begin{macrocode}

+%
+% Since theses in humanities may end up to occupy several volumes (classically ``tomo''
+% in Italian means ``volume'', although the latter spelling is valid also in Italian with
+% the same meaning but appears to be  neglected by the humanists; in English ``tome''
+% indicates a ``large book''; in Italian the meaning nuance of ``tomo'' is a little
+% different because it is used to indicate the volumes into which a large typeset work is
+% divided; the humanists, as usual, know well their words and use them properly!)
+% a mechanism is set up to create a different title page for each volume; we need a volume
+% counter and a command to start each volume; the |\frontespizio| macro typesets the real
+% title page and we have already seen that it can print the volume ordinal. The localization
+% allows to change the infix string that is going to be printed. When several tomes are
+% involved, instead of using the |\frontespizio| macro, use the |\tomo| one, that provides
+% to stepping up the volume counter before actually printing the new tome title page.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\newcounter{tomo}
+\newcommand*{\tomo}{\clearpage\stepcounter{tomo}\frontespizio}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Folios as well are to be redefined and also the page styles require a redefinition so as
+% to being able to use old style numbers. The macro |\lapagina| (it's not a case the this
+% macro name is the direct translation of ``the page'') contains the folio number; if it is
+% in roman numerals nothing happens, but if the old style numbers are required the folio is
+% surrounded by the proper macros so as to expand the folio macro before typesetting it in
+% old style. The page style does not need an actual redefinition, because the original
+% definition in file \texttt{toptesi.sty} already uses |\lapagina| as the typeset folio
+% indicator.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\renewcommand*{\lapagina}{%
+    \ifnumeriromani
+        \thepage
+    \else
+        \if@ldstyle
+            \expandafter\oldstylenums\expandafter{\thepage}%
+        \else
+            \thepage
+        \fi
+    \fi
+    }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% But we actually have to redefine the page style for the new headings because the 
+% \texttt{classica} option changes completely the left and the right headers depending on
+% the option \texttt{autoretitolo}; in this case the left header contains the candidate's
+% name a a short version of the thesis title, while the right heading contains the chapter
+% (short) title; if this option is not in force, headings appear as usual. The redefinition
+% of the \texttt{headings} page style is made only if this option is in force. In case of
+% two side printing where the left head and the right head are different, the left heading
+% contains the author name and the short title name; if there are other authors the first
+% author name is printed followed by ``et al.''; if the over all header string exceeds the
+% text width, a message is printed so as to induce the user to make use of the optional
+% |\titolo| argument, the one that is supposed to contain the short title. In the right
+% heading there is the chapter title; again if the header turns out to bee too wide, a
+% message is issued to the user.
+%
+% More complicated things are done when typesetting on one side; in facts the author name
+% (possibly followed by ``et al.'') and the short thesis title are typeset on the left
+% of the only header while the chapter title is typeset on the right; in the unlikely
+% situation where these two elements separated by at least 2em of white space do not exceed
+% the text width, they are printed, but if they do, as it is likely to happen, then my
+% suggestion would be not to use the \texttt{autoretitolo} option, but if the user
+% absolutely wants this layout, then the author's name, possibly followed by ``et al.'', and
+% the short thesis title are set in a vertical box; the same happens for the chapter title
+% in another box; these texts are set with ragged margins on the center, and finally these
+% boxes are set one next to the other with an intermediate glob of infinitely stretchable
+% glue, and finally set in the header box with a rule underneath the two of them. The result
+% might be barely acceptable if both vertical boxes do not exceed two lines and no words
+% have to be hyphenated, but in general I believe it is an ugly layout; the user is warned!

+% the command |\nota| was introduced that inserts a note with a symbol as a note mark;
+% the symbol \emph{must} be a mathematica symbol as the dagger or the double dagger;
+% by default it is the asterisk. At the same time the default definition of the mathematical
+% asterisk is that of a binary operator; I have experienced that the note symbol gets a
+% better positioning if if is declared an ordinary symbol, treated as, say, a letter. This
+% is why its math code is redefined. A final unusual request was to be able to put a blank
+% unnumbered note, as a (rather wide) note separator. The command |\NoteWhiteLine| has to
+% be used at the end of the text of the preceding note.

+% The humanists asked me to create some other simple macros: one for skipping a whole page,
+% without header and footer; another to compose a dedication page; a third one for
+% typesetting a page with one or more witty sentences. The first request has a trivial
+% solution, but at least |\paginavuota| is much shorter to type in that its expansion.
+%
+% The environments \texttt{dedica} for the dedication, and \texttt{citazioni} for the witty
+% sentences are almost identical; both typeset their content with a reduced text width, half
+% of the normal one; this column is typeset on the right of the page. The \texttt{dedica}
+% environment is supposed to be used in the front matter, while the witty sentence
+% environment may be used anywhere. The dedication is typeset in |\Large| font size and in
+% italics; if the author wants a different size and/or a different shape s/he must specify
+% it at the beginning of the dedication. The \texttt{citazioni} environment typesets its
+% material with the default font shape series and size, so the author has to specify any
+% change s/he desires. These three commands, though, are available irrespective of the
+% \texttt{classica} option, so that they can be used also for theses outside the humanities
+% fields.

-% \subsection{The package file \texttt{trieste.sty} for the \texttt{classica} option}
-% As mentioned above, the \texttt{classica} option was devised in order to cope with theses
-% in humanities and the specifications came from Paolo Ciacchi, a student of the University
-% of Trieste, who was preparing a master thesis in classical Greek philology. The necessity of
-% the large normal size derived from the necessity of having clear mark-up signs among the
-% myriad philologists use, that sometimes let me believe that the philological mark-up requires
-% typesetting environments similar to the mathematical ones, since the material to be typeset
-% does not form a linear sequence, as in plain text, but a bi-dimensional structure as in mathematics.
-% In previous version this file was input with the option \texttt{trieste}, but another option \texttt{classica}
-% was defined so as not to tie these facilities only to the University of Trieste.
-%
-% The other requirements involve the title page and I agreed to implement them, since they are
-% likely to be useful for other universities as well; the effort for localizing this bundle
-% makes this point less stringent compared to the previous versions, but there are other layout fine points that
-% cannot be solved with a simple substitution of infix strings.
-%
-% In order to have the whole bundle be aware of the option classica a specific control sequence
-% is defined so as to be unique to this file. This definition is not ``undefined'' only if this file
-% has already been input.

-% Since theses in humanities may end up to occupy several volumes (classically ``tomo''
-% in Italian means ``volume'', although the latter spelling is valid also in Italian with the same meaning
-% but appears to be  neglected by the humanists; in English ``tome'' indicates a ``large book''; in Italian the
-% meaning nuance of ``tomo'' is a little different because it is used to indicate the volumes
-% into which a large typeset work is divided; the humanists, as usual, know well their words and use them properly!)
-% a mechanism is set up to create a different title page for each volume; we need a volume counter
-% and a command to start each volume; the |\frontespizio| macro typesets the real title page and we have
-% already seen that it can print the volume ordinal. The localization allows to change the infix string that
-% is going to be printed. When several tomes are involved, instead of using the |\frontespizio| macro,
-% use the |\tomo| one, that provides to stepping up the volume counter before actually printing the new tome
-% title page.
-%    \begin{macrocode}
-\newcounter{tomo}
-\newcommand*{\tomo}{\clearpage\stepcounter{tomo}\frontespizio}
-%    \end{macrocode}
-% Folios as well are to be redefined and also the page styles require a redefinition so as to being
-% able to use old style numbers. The macro |\lapagina| (it's not a case the this macro name is the
-% direct translation of ``the page'') contains the folio number; if it is in roman numerals nothing
-% happens, but if the old style numbers are required the folio is surrounded by the proper macros
-% so as to expand the folio macro before typesetting it in old style. The page style does not need
-% an actual redefinition, because the original definition in file \texttt{toptesi.sty} already uses
-% |\lapagina| as the typeset folio indicator.
-%    \begin{macrocode}
-\renewcommand*{\lapagina}{%
-    \ifnumeriromani
-        \thepage
-    \else
-        \if@ldstyle
-            \expandafter\oldstylenums\expandafter{\thepage}%
-        \else
-            \thepage
-        \fi
-    \fi
-    }
-%    \end{macrocode}
-% But we actually have to redefine the page style for the new headings because the \texttt{classica}
-% options changes completely the left and the right headers depending on the option \texttt{autoretitolo};
-% in this case the left header contains the candidate's name a a short version of the thesis title,
-% while the right heading contains the chapter (short) title; if this option is not in force, headings
-% appear as usual. The redefinition of the \texttt{headings} page style is made only if this option
-% is in force. In case of two side printing where the left head and the right head are different,
-% the left heading contains the author name and the short title name; if there are other authors the
-% first author name is printed followed by ``et al.''; if the over all header string exceeds the text
-% width, a message is printed so as to induce the user to make use of the optional |\titolo| argument,
-% the one that is supposed to contain the short title. In the right heading there is the chapter title;
-% again if the header turns out to bee too wide, a message is issued to the user.
-%
-% More complicated things are done when typesetting on one side; in facts the author name
-% (possibly followed by ``et al.'') and the short thesis title are typeset on the left
-% of the only header while the chapter title is typeset on the right; in the unlikely
-% situation where these two elements separated by at least 2em of white space do not exceed
-% the text width, they are printed, but if they do, as it is likely to happen, then my suggestion
-% would be not to use the \texttt{autoretitolo} option, but if the user absolutely wants this
-% layout, then the author's name, possibly followed by ``et al.'', and the short thesis title
-% are set in a vertical box; the same happens for the chapter title in another box; these
-% texts are set withe ragged margins on the center, and finally these boxes are set one next
-% to the other with an intermediate glob of infinitely stretchable glue, and finally set
-% in the header box with a rule underneath the two of them. The result might be barely acceptable
-% if both vertical boxes do not exceed two lines and no  words have to be hyphenated, but in
-% general I believe it is an ugly layout; the user is warned!

-% is why its math code is redefined. A final unusual request was to be able to put a blank

-% The humanists asked me to create some other simple macros: one for skipping a whole page,
-% without header and footer; another to compose a dedication page; a third one for typesetting
-% a page with one or more witty sentences. The first request has a trivial solution, but at
-% least |\paginavuota| is much shorter to type in that its expansion.
-%
-% The environments \texttt{dedica} for the dedication, and \texttt{citazioni} for the witty
-% sentences are almost identical; both typeset their content with a reduced text width, half
-% of the normal one; this column is typeset on the right of the page. The \texttt{dedica}
-% environment is supposed to be used in the front matter, while the witty sentence environment
-% may be used anywhere. The dedication is typeset in |\Large| font size and in italics; if the
-% author wants a different size and/or a different shape s/he must specify it at the beginning
-% of the dedication. The \texttt{citazioni} environment typesets its material with the default
-% font shape series and size, so the author has to specify any change s/he desires.
