Memoir is a flexible class for typesetting poetry, fiction, non-fiction and mathematical works as books, reports, articles or manuscripts. Documents can use 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, or 17pt as the normal fontsize and, if you have scalable fonts, 20pt, 25pt, 30pt, 36pt, 48pt, or 60pt sizes, or even larger. Many methods are provided to let you create your particular design. The class incorporates over 30 of the more popular packages. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK THEM ON THE COMP.TEXT.TEX NEWSGROUP; YOU ARE LIKELY TO GET FASTER AND BETTER ANSWERS THAN IF YOU EMAIL ME DIRECTLY AS I AM AWAY MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. (Lars Madsen is gradually taking over the support for memoir.) NOTE: In order to provide fixes for any problems that may arise between major releases, you may find a file called mempatch.sty which contains any current fixes for the memoir class. The class will automatically include this so DO NOT \usepackage{mempatch}. The Change lists below do not neccessarily note each release of the patch or addendum files. NOTE: Similarly, there may be file(s) called memmanadd.(tex|pdf) which provides amendments to the current version of the User Manual. NOTE: If you are using the hyperref package dated earlier than 2006/11/15, use the memhfixc package after the hyperref package, e.g., ... \usepackage[...]{hyperref} \usepackage{memhfixc} ... Later versions of the hyperref package automatically load the memhfixc package. NOTE: The full User Manual (memman.pdf) is a large document of about 600 pages in total. You do not need to print all of it, especially if you already have an earlier edition. Roughly speaking, the main portions are: o Frontmatter: Preface, Toc, Introduction, Terminology ~ 35 pages o Mainmatter: Part I Design and typography ~ 75 pages Part II Class commands and environments, etc. ~ 335 pages o Appendices: (La)Tex programming, Errors and warnings ~ 40 pages o Backmatter: Command glossary ~ 40 pages Bibliography, indexes ~ 50 pages Changes (2009/07/24) o Memoir v1.6180339h fixes minor typos in memoir.dtx and mempatch.dtx Changes (2009/07/21) o Memoir v1.6180339g fixes minor bugs in memoir and mempatch Changes (2009/07/12) o Memoir v1.6180339f fixes minor bugs and adds new commands -- \begin{labelled}{name} A description list where \name is the labelling macro -- \twocoltocetc - the ToC and friends will be set in two columns -- \onecoltocetc - the ToC and friends will be set in one column (the default) -- \doccoltocetc - the ToC and friends will be set according the class column option -- \frontmatter, \mainmatter and \backmatter have had their float counter change factored out such that users may now change these o Memoir now automatically loads the etex package o The manual includes a chapter giving some historical backround related to typesetting and further information about fonts. There is a new chapter describing an example implementation of a memoir-based package for a US University thesis. Changes (2009/02/06) o Memoir v1.6180339d,e fixes a bug introduced by v1.6180339c -- \makeheadwidth, \makerunningheadwidth and \makerunningfootwidth no longer support the '+' syntax from the calc package. -- under hyperref \nameref is now an alias for \titleref Changes (2009/01/26) o Memoir v1.6180339c released with minor bug fixes that could not be done via the patch file, plus some new functionality. The manual has NOT been updated and the changes are noted below. -- New paper size options: `a0paper', `a1paper', `a2paper', `b0paper', `b1paper', and `b2paper' for A0, A1, A2, B0,B1, and B2 size stock paper. -- Macro \memoirpostopthook{} which is called after the options are processed but before anything else is done (like setting the page layout). As an example, you may define it as (before the \documentclass} command): \newcommand*{\memoirpostopthook}{% \setlength{\stockwidth}{}\setlength{\stockheight}{}} \documentclass[...]{memoir} to specify a stock paper size of by that is not provided by the defined options. -- New `portrait' option (default, the opposite of `landscape'). -- New command \setbinding{} for a binding offset of . -- New commands: \setpagetm, \setpagetr, \setpagemr, \setpagebr, \setpagebm, \setpagecc to position a (smaller) page on a (larger) stock at the top-middle, top-right, middle-right, bottom-right, bottom-middle, and centered with respect to the stock. The macros are to be used instead of \settrimmedsize taking the same arguments. -- New optional parameter in \makeheadwidth{
