+%
+% You have done all the research.  The ideas are in your
+% head.  All you are missing is that little thing called a
+% dissertation, which you are gung-ho on writing using \LaTeX. This is
+% where this class file enters: it allows you to use \LaTeX\ while
+% adhering to the formatting guidelines of Brandeis University
+% Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS).   In
+% particular, it allows you to get the front matter correct.
+%
+% The features are as follows:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item It provides correct margins for either single-paged
+%   output or double-paged output.
+% \item It typesets the text with double-spaced line.  However, footnotes,
+%   long quotations (the environment "quotation"), the bibliography, and
+%   the index is singe-spaced.
+% \item It provides commands to produce the front matter.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+% To use the class, you should begin your document file with
+% \begin{verbatim}
+% \documentclass{brandeis-dissertation}\end{verbatim}
+% instead of your usual document class declaration.  The various
+% options are described below in section~\ref{sec:class-options}.
+%
+% \section{Front Matter}
+%
+% The front matter is all the pages that comes before the main text of
+% your dissertation, e.g., title page, dedication, abstract, table of
+% contents. For the class to typeset the front matter, you should
+% specify the formalities regarding your dissertation in the preamble
+% of your document.  You do this with the following commands.
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\cmd{\title}\marg{title}:]\DescribeMacro{\title}
+%    The title of your dissertation.
+% \item[\cmd{\author}\marg{name}:]\DescribeMacro{\author}
+%   Your full name. 
+% \item[\cmd{\department}\marg{department}:]\DescribeMacro{\department}
+%   Your department.
+% \item[\cmd{\advisor}\meta{advisor}:]\DescribeMacro{\advisor}
+%    The full name of you advisor (chair of your
+%   committee) . 
+% \item[\cmd{\reader}\meta{reader}:]\DescribeMacro{\reader} Adds
+%   \meta{reader} to your committee.  You should have one
+%   \cmd{\reader}-command for each reader on the committee. You should
+%   provide them in the order you want them to appear on the signature
+%   page. You should also include the school and department of every 
+%   reader.
+% \item[\cmd{\dean}\meta{name}:]\DescribeMacro{\dean}
+%    The full name of the dean who eventually
+%   signs off on the dissertation.
+% \item[\cmd{\graduationyear}\meta{year}:]\DescribeMacro{\graduationyear}
+%    The year of your dissertation.
+% \item[\cmd{\graduationmonth}\meta{month}:]\DescribeMacro{\graduationmonth}
+%    The month of your dissertation.
+% \item[\cmd{\othercopyright}\meta{text} (optional):] Uses \meta{text}
+%   to  acknowledge other people's copyright on your copyright page.
+%   This is only printed if you print a copyright page.
+% \end{description}
+% As an example, the following is an except from the preamble of my
+% dissertation:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+% \title{Complexity Aspects of Programming Language Design}
+% \author{Peter M{\o}ller Neergaard}
+% \dean{Adam B. Jaffe}
+% \advisor{Harry G. Mairson}
+% \department{Michtom School of Computer Science}
+% \reader{Peter Clote}
+% \reader{Simone Martini}
+% \reader{Timothy J. Hickey}\end{verbatim}
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\thesisfront}The command
+% \cmd{\thesisfront}\oarg{options} should be used at the very
+% beginning of your document to produce all the front
+% matter for you, e.g.,
+% \begin{verbatim}
+% \begin{document}
+% \thesisfront\end{verbatim}
+% 
+% You need to specify the abstract and possible also the preface,
+% dedication, and acknowledgments using the following commands:
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\mcmd{\thesisabstract}\marg{text}:]\DescribeMacro{\thesisabstract}
+%    Uses \meta{text} as your abstract.
+% \item[\mcmd{\dedication}\marg{dedication} (optional):]\DescribeMacro{\dedication}
+%    The dedication of your dissertation to \meta{dedication} appears
+%    on separate page. 
+% \item[\mcmd{\acknowledgments}\marg{text}
+%   (optional):]\DescribeMacro{\acknowledgments}
+%   \meta{text} is used as your acknowledgment.
+% \item[\cmd{\preface}\marg{text} (optional):]\DescribeMacro{\preface}
+%    The preface of your dissertation.
+% \end{description}
+% As the abstract, preface and acknowledgments might by fairly long,
+% it can be convenient to keep them in a separate file and include
+% them using \cmd{\input}, e.g.
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%   \thesisabstract{\input{abstract}}\end{verbatim}
+% where the abstract in stored in the file "abstract.tex".
+%
+% \label{p:thesisfront-options}
+% You can fine tune the behavior of \cmd{\thesisfront} with the following
+% options.  You provide them in an optional argument as a
+% comma-separated list:
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\texttt{onlinesubmission}:] The signature page is typeset for
+%   online submission (default).
+% \item[\texttt{papersubmission}:] The signature page is typeset for
+%   paper submission.
+% \item[\texttt{copyright}:] Print a copyright page (default).
+% \item[\texttt{nocopyright}:] Do not print a copyright page.
+% \item[\texttt{lot}:] Print a list of tables.
+% \item[\texttt{nolot}:] Do not print a list of tables (default)
+% \item[\texttt{lof}:]  Print a list of figures.
+% \item[\texttt{nolof}:] Do not print a list of figures (default).
+% \end{description}
+% For instance, the command to produce the front matter for a paper
+% submission with a list of tables is:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+% \thesisfront[lot,papersubmission]\end{verbatim}
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\signaturepage}
+% When submitting online, you need to produce a signature page to be
+% signed before your defense.  You can do this using "\signaturepage*"
+% in front of \cmd{\thesisfront} sometimes before you make the final
+% version. 
+% 
+% \subsection{Your Own Front Matter Layout}
+%
+% Instead of using \cmd{\thesisfront} to produce the front matter, you
+% can build the front matter yourself with the command below.
+% \emph{However, this option is not recommended and you should ensure
+% that you adhere to all the GSAS guidelines}.
+%
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\mcmd{\thesistitlepage}:]\DescribeMacro{\thesistitlepage} This
+%   command produces the front page of your dissertation.
+%
+% \item[\mcmd{\signaturetitlepage}\ostar:]\DescribeMacro{\signaturepage} 
+%   This produces a signature page.  The unstarred version is for
+%   online submission, while the starred version is for paper submission.
+%
+% \item[\mcmd{\copyrightpage}\marg{your name}\marg{year}:]
+%   \DescribeMacro{\copyrightpage} This produces the copyright page.
+%
+% \item[\mcmd{\dedicationpage}\marg{dedication}:] 
+%   \DescribeMacro{\dedicationpage}This produces a page with the
+%   dedication. 
+% \end{description}
+%
+% \DescribeEnv{optionalpage} 
+% \DescribeEnv{optionalpage*}
+% The environments  "optionalpage" and "optionalpage*" produce other
+% parts of the front matter, for instance the preface.  The part will
+% be typeset as if it was a chapter.  They take the title of the part
+% as a single argument.  You can thus produce a preface as follows:
+% \begin{alltt}\cs{begin}\{optionalpage\}\{Preface\}\par  \(...\)\par\cs{end}\{optionalpage\}\end{alltt}
+% By default an entry is added to the table of contents.  This can be
+% disabled by using the starred form.
+% 
+% When printing double-sided, you might \cmd{\cleardoublepage} to
+% get the pages positioned on a right hand side.
+%
+% \section{Margins and Line-spacing}
+%
+% \begin{table}
+% \caption{The two options for margins}
+% \begin{tabular}{l|r|r}
+%                  & Minimum margins & Consistent 1.5in \\\hline        
+%    Left margin   &  1in         & 1.5in \\         
+%    Right margin  &  1in           & 1.5in \\
+%    Top margin    &  1in           & 1.5in \\
+%    Bottom margin &  1in           & 1.5in 
+% \end{tabular}
+% \label{tbl:margins}
+% \end{table}
+%
+% The GSAS guidelines call for the minimum margins given in
+% Table~\ref{tbl:margins}.  This is the default margins for the
+% class.  If you prefer, you can get a consistent 1.5in
+% margins by using the class option "15margins" (see below).
+%
+% The class uses the package \package{geometry} to set the
+% margins. This provides a very simple way to change the paper layout,
+% e.g., to change the margins to 2 inches you just need to use:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%   \geometry{top=2in, bottom=2in, left=2in, right=2in }\end{verbatim}
+% Note that the \cmd{\geometry} can only be used only in the document
+% preamble.  
+%
+% By default, the dissertation class uses page style "brandeisheadings". This page style will place
+%  the page number, centered, in 
+% the footer.  If
+% you change the page style (to "headings" or "myheadings") in the preamble, the dissertation class
+% will adjust the margins accordingly.  However, if you use a
+% non-standard heading (for instance from \package{fancyhdr}) you will
+% need to adjust the margins accordingly.
+% 
+% \DescribeEnv{singlespacing}You can use the environment
+% "singlespacing" to single-space a block of text.
+%
+% \section{Class Options}
+% \label{sec:class-options}
+% 
+% The class takes the following options provided as optional arguments
+% to the \cmd{\documentclass} command:
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\texttt{minmargins}:]  Use the minimum margins called for by
+%   GSAS (default).
+% \item[\texttt{15margins}:] Use a consistent 1.5in margin.
+% \item[\texttt{oneside}:] Single-sided output (from \package{book}
+%   class, default). 
+% \item[\texttt{twoside}:] Double-sided output.  This gives  different
+%   headers on left and right pages.  Some pages might be left blank to have
+%   chapters start on right pages (from the \package{book} class).
+%
+%   You are prone to get some overfull
+%   \cmd{\vbox} warnings when using this option.\footnote{With
+%     double-sided printing, \LaTeX\ attempts to fill every page to 
+%     the bottom to avoid ragged bottoms.  Its main remedy for this is
+%     to stretch the spacing between paragraphs.  When this does not
+%     provide enough extra space, you get an underfull \cmd{\vbox}.}
+%   They can be avoided  by using \cmd{\raggedbottom}, but the result
+%   can be very aesthetically unpleasant as you get facing pages with
+%   different text height.  Therefore, you are recommended to ignore
+%   the overfull boxes if you cannot rearrange the paragraphs to avoid
+%   them. 
+%
+% \item[\texttt{draft}:] Draft version---this marks overfull boxes and might
+%   also effect other packages (from the \package{book} class).
+% \item[\texttt{final}:] Final version (from the \package{book} class, default).
+% \item[\texttt{openright}:] For double-sided printing: chapters
+%   always open on the right page (from the \package{book} class, default).
+% \item[\texttt{openany}:] For double-sided printing: chapters can
+%   open on either a  left or a right page (from the \package{book} class).
+% \item[\texttt{blankcleared}:] For double-sided printing: when a page
+%   is cleared to make a chapter start on a right page, leave out page
+%   number and headers.
+% \item[\texttt{numbercleared}:]For double-sided printing: when a page
+%   is cleared to make a chapter start on a right page, put page
+%   number and headings on the cleared page.
+% \item[\texttt{leqno}:] Equation number are placed to the left (from
+%   \package{book} class). 
+% \item[\texttt{fleqno}:] Equation number are placed flushed to the
+%   left (from the \package{book} class).
+% \item[\texttt{openbib}:] A more open layout of the bibliography (from the \package{book} class).
+% \item[\texttt{12pt}:] The main text is set in 12pt font size (from the \package{book} class, default)
+% \item[\texttt{11pt}:] The main text is set in 11pt font size;
+%   \cmd{\small} and \cmd{\footnotesize} do not change the font size
+%   (essentially from the \package{book} class, \emph{not recommended by
+%   GSAS).} 
+% \item[\texttt{10pt}:] The main text is set in 11pt font size;
+%   \cmd{\small} and \cmd{\footnotesize} do not change the font size
+%   (essentially from the \package{book} class, \emph{not recommended by
+%   GSAS).}
+% \end{description}
+%
+% \section{Issues To Be Aware Of} 
+%
+% The following is a list of issues you should be aware.  It might be
+% a little {\TeX}nichal so skip it, if it does not apply to your
+% dissertation.
+%
+% \subsection{Margin Notes}
+%
+% While the class  allows margin notes set with the \LaTeX\ command
+% \cmd{\marginpar}, the margins are not designed for margin
+% notes. 
+% 
+% If you use margin notes they will comes as close as  .35in from the
+% border of the paper.  If you use them extensively, this is unlikely to
+% be kosher and you should adjust the margin parameters.  You can
+% solve this by including the following in your preamble.
+% \begin{alltt}\cs{geometry}\{marginparwidth=\(w\), marginparsep=\(s\), includemp\}\end{alltt}
+% where~$w$ is the width of your margin notes and $s$ their separation
+% from the text
+%
+% You should check with the GSAS for more guidance.  
+%
+% \StopEventually{}
+%
+% \section{Driver Producing Documentation}
+% 
+% We want to  distribution  the documented class file as a single
+% file even though the file is used for two very different purposes:
+% \begin{enumerate}
+% \item \label{it:documentation}To produce the documentation of the class.
+% \item \label{it:class}To provide the class for users.
+% \end{enumerate} 
+% We accomplish this with a bit of code taken from the
+% \package{doc} package: We test whether a \cmd{\documentclass}-command has
+% already been processed (we exploit that \LaTeX\ binds
+% \cmd{\documentclass} to \cmd{\@twoclasseserror} when it start to
+% process \cmd{\documentclass}).  If so, we know that we are in
+% Case~\ref{it:class}, otherwise we use the driver to produce the
+% documentation.
+%
+% This is implemented with the following trickery.  If the condition
+% below is false, i.e., \cmd{\documentclass} is not bound ot
+% \cmd{\@twoclasseserror}, then a \cs{fi} is constructed on the fly
+% and \LaTeX\ continues processing the code following "\csname fi\endcsname".  On the other hand, if the condition is true, \LaTeX\
+% searches for a \cs{fi}, but has no clue that "\csname fi\endcsname" 
+% stands for \cs{fi}.  Therefore, it skips until it finds the
+% \cs{fi} following "\end{document}".  
+%
+% Additionally, these parts are enclosed in a guard "gobble" to
+% prevent the trickery to end up in files coming out of
+% \package{docstrip}. 
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+%<*driver>
+%<*gobble>
+\makeatletter
+\ifx\documentclass\@twoclasseserror
+\else \makeatother\csname fi\endcsname
+%</gobble>
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Otherwise we process the following lines which will produced the 
+% formatted the documentation.  
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\documentclass{ltxdoc}
+\usepackage{url}
+\usepackage{alltt}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% By default we only want the user documentation:
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+ \OnlyDescription % Comment this line out for full documentation
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%  For the full documentation, the following lines should be uncommented:
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+ % \EnableCrossrefs % Uncomment for full documentation
+ % \RecordChanges 
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% which produces a cross-referenced index of the macros' definitions
+% and usage and a history of changes.
+% 
+% We tell the user not to worry about underfull/overfull boxes.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+ \typeout{Expect some Under- and overfull boxes}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Finally, we define some commands to typeset the documentation: First, a
+% command to typeset the RCS tags generated by the version control.
+% \begin{macro}{\RCS}
+%   \mcmd{\RCS}"$"\meta{ID}": "\meta{description}" $" defines
+%   \cs{RCS\meta{ID}} to expand to \meta{description}.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\makeatletter
+\def\RCS$#1: #2 ${\@namedef{RCS#1}{#2}}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}^^A \RCS
+% 
+% \begin{macro}{\cmd}
+% \begin{macro}{\mcmd}
+% \begin{macro}{\mcs}
+% \begin{macro}{\marg}
+% \begin{macro}{\ostar}
+% \begin{macro}{\package}
+% Second, some commands for formatting the various parts of the
+% documentation: We fix the \cmd{\cmd} so it includes "@" in the
+% command names (necessary when we define commands \cs{if@$\ldots$}),
+% \cmd{\mcmd}\marg{\cs{command}} for the mandatory command name set as
+% with \cmd{\cmd}, \cmd{\mcs}\marg{name} for the mandatory command
+% name set as with \cmd{\cs}, \cmd{\marg}\marg{argument} for a
+% mandatory argument, \cmd{\ostar} for an optional start, and
+% \cmd{\package}\marg{package name} for a package name.
+%    \begin{macrocode}

+% \begin{macro}{\bd@book@size}
+% \begin{macro}{\bd@book@side}
+% \begin{macro}{\bd@book@final}
+% Finally, we shadow a few of the options given by
+% \package{book}. Since \package{book} uses the unstarred
+% "\ProcessOptions", we cannot pass mutually exclusive options like
+% "twoside" and "oneside" to \package{book} as the one declared latest
+% in \package{book} will always take precedence.  We therefore store
+% the choice in flags.  
+%
+% GSAS recommend a 12pt font size, but allow font sizes down to 10pt.  We
+% therefore include the smaller font sizes, but change them so
+% \cmd{\small} and \cmd{\footnotesize} do not reduce the font size.

+%  
+% After loading the \package{book} class, fonts have been set up.  If
+% needed for font sizes 10pt and 11pt, we now make \cmd{\small} and

+%   The \cmd{\clearblank} is an alternative to
+%   \cmd{\cleardoublepage} that leaves the  facing left-hand page (if
+%   any)   completely blank, i.e., without a page number.   We do so
+%   by temporarily changing the pagestyle to "empty".

+%
+% \subsection{Spacing}
+%
+%  From the Brandeis web page: ``Double-space all textual material and
+%  all preliminary pages.''. Switching between single and double
+%  spacing can be painful, but the package \package{setspace} takes
+%  out most of the sting.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\RequirePackage[doublespacing]{setspace}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+%  From the Brandeis web page: ``Notes, bibliographic references, and
+%  long quotations may be single-spaced.''.  
+%
+% \begin{environment}{thebibliography}
+% \begin{environment}{theindex}
+% \begin{environment}{quotation}
+% \begin{macro}{\bd@thebibliography}
+% \begin{macro}{\bd@endthebibliography}
+% \begin{macro}{\bd@theindex}
+% \begin{macro}{\bd@endtheindex}
+% \begin{macro}{\bd@quotation}
+% \begin{macro}{\bd@endquotation}
+%    \package{setspace} is smart enough to single-space footnotes for
+%    you.  We adapt
+%    the bibliography, index, and "quotation" environment\footnote{From the
+%    \LaTeX-book: ``The "quotation" environment is used for quotations
+%    of more than one paragraph''} to produce single-spaced output:
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\let\bd@thebibliography\thebibliography
+\let\bd@endthebibliography\endthebibliography
+\renewenvironment{thebibliography}%
+    {\begin{singlespace}\bd@thebibliography}%
+  {\bd@endthebibliography\end{singlespace}}
+\let\bd@theindex\theindex

+  {\end{singlespace}\bd@endtheindex}
+\let\bd@quotation\quotation
+\let\bd@endquotation\endquotation
+\renewenvironment{quotation}%
+    {\begin{singlespace}\bd@quotation}%
+  {\bd@endquotation\end{singlespace}}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}^^A \bd@endquotation
+% \end{macro}^^A \bd@quotation
+% \end{macro}^^A \bd@endtheindex
+% \end{macro}^^A \bd@theindex
+% \end{macro}^^A \bd@endthebibliography
+% \end{macro}^^A \bd@thebibliography
+% \end{environment}^^A quotation
+% \end{environment}^^A theindex
+% \end{environment}^^A thebibliography
+%
+% Finally, we also decrease the line spacing smaller in math displays
+% as displays otherwise look odd.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\everydisplay\expandafter{%
+  \the\everydisplay
+  \def\baselinestretch{1.2}\selectfont}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Finally, we adjust to skip amounts to reflect the increased line spacing.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\smallskipamount=2pt plus 1.5pt minus 1.5pt
+\smallskipamount=4pt plus 3pt minus 3pt
+\bigskipamount=8pt plus 6pt minus 6pt
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \section{Margins}
+%
+% We simplify matters by using the \package{geometry}. The GSAS
+% guidelines calls for letter paper ($8 \times 11.5$ inch) and the
+% margins given in the table on p.~\pageref{tbl:margins}.
+% Furthermore, the guidelines call for the top margin of the first
+% page of each chapter to be at least 2in.  The latter is more than
+% provided for by the \package{book} class which hard codes a 50pt
+% vertical space on top of the chapter heading.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\RequirePackage[letterpaper]{geometry}
+\ifbd@minmar
+  \geometry{left=1in, top=1in, right=1in, bottom=1in,
+    marginparwidth=.5in}

+%
+%   We first process the options.  Each valid option is defined below
+%   as a macro \cs{bd@tf@\meta{option}} that is to be executed for the
+%   option.

+%  The pages from the title page and until the acknowledgments should
+%  be counted, but not numbered.  We start a group so we can
