+Latex cheat sheet
+Version 1.13, 2008/05/29
+
+This is a latex reference sheet for writing scientific papers. Unlike 
+many reference sheets available on the internet, it does not focus on 
+mathematics, although some math symbols are listed.  Please send 
+suggestions to <winston at stdout.org>.

+% If you're reading this, be prepared for confusion.  Making this was
+% a learning experience for me, and it shows.  Much of the placement
+% was hacked in; if you make it better, let me know...
+
+
+% 2008-04
+% Changed page margin code to use the geometry package. Also added code for
+% conditional page margins, depending on paper size. Thanks to Uwe Ziegenhagen
+% for the suggestions.
+
+% 2006-08
+% Made changes based on suggestions from Gene Cooperman. <gene at ccs.neu.edu>
+
+
+% To Do:
+% \listoffigures \listoftables
+% \setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}
+
+
+% This sets page margins to .5 inch if using letter paper, and to 1cm
+% if using A4 paper. (This probably isn't strictly necessary.)
+% If using another size paper, use default 1cm margins.
