Turabian Formatting for LaTeX (2014/12/27) This package provides Chicago-style formatting based on Kate L. Turabian's "A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers" (8th edition). In doing, so, this package adheres closely to the formatting guidelines described in Turabian's work while, also, being readily adaptable to additional formatting requirements (ie. formatting requirements specific to an institution and/or department). It is hoped that authors will find this package relatively easy to implement. There are few (if any) new commands to learn, as the package builds upon (and makes adjustments to) already-existing LaTeX commands. As such, formatting research papers, theses, and dissertations should require a minimum amount of changes to a standard LaTeX source file (your .tex file). For citations, this package provides optional support for David Fussner's outstanding (and highly-recommended) biblatex-chicago. For more information on using the package, refer to the accompanying manual, turabian-formatting-doc.pdf, included in this package. INSTALLATION To install this package, place the turabian-formatting directory (with its files) in the appropriate subdirectory of your local texmf directory. This is usually the texmf/tex/latex/ directory.
