 \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 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.

 \subsection{The \pkg{[lscape]} option}
 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.

 \subsection{What does the class file do?}
 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.339}

Depending on your bibliography style, you may need to set these to be |\baselineskip|, e.g. |\setlength{\bibitemsep}{\baselineskip}|.
 
 \subsection{Customizing the look of things}
 I have created a basic looking style for Chapter headings based on the |thatcher| style in |memoir|.  If you want to change these things, you may, using the appropriate |\renewcommand| commands.  More information can be found in the |memoir| documentation. The Thesis Office seems to require dotted leaders for the List of Figures/Tables in the Table of Contents, (despite the guide saying they are optional) even though they get typeset as Chapters.  If you wish your Chapter headings to have no leaders, add the following command just after the |\mainmatter| command.  To put the dots back for the Bibliography, repeat the same command right after the |\backmatter| command, but replace |\cftnodots| with |\cftdotsep|.  The default template leaves dots everywhere, which should appease the thesis office.

If you use TeX Live or MiKTeX then their respective package managers will update or install the latest version. If you are using a Linux-based distribution, you may need to install the latest copy in your local |texmf| directory. If you want others to use the class, \textsc{please} point them to CTAN, so that they can get an up-to-date version with all accompanying documentation and examples rather than passing along your copy. Please report \textsc{any} problems you have with the class to me \href{mailto:amunn@msu.edu}{amunn@msu.edu}, as this will aid in making things easier for those who follow you. The Graduate School rarely announces changes it makes to the formatting requirements, so your problem reports are extremely helpful for keeping the class in compliance with the latest standards.

 \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. 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.
 \section{Acknowledgements}
-Thanks to Lars Madsen, Ulrike Fischer and Peter Wilson for help with setting up parts of the memoir code for versions 1.0-1.4 (now eliminated due to changed requirements). Thanks to Wolfgang Sternefeld for supplying the \pkg{linguex} spacing fix code, Leo Liu for the landscape page numbering code, which greatly simplified my original version, and Florent Chervet for the hyperref code. Thanks also to the following students who have reported problems over the years: Matt Husband, Irina Agafonova, Dmitriy Bryndin, Greg Christian, Changkuk Jung, Yisu Zhou, Neil ver Planck, Michael Wojcik, Kyle Crayne, Adam Soliman, Adam Liter and Ali Al-jiboory.
