% ********************************************************************  
% Important:
%
% This style can also be used without the thesis template.
% It works with both LaTeX and PDFLaTeX now.
%
% * You must not use "u etc. in strings/commands that will be spaced out 
%   (use \"u or real umlauts instead)
% * Chapters must be marked with the \myChapter{Foo} command 
%   (sorry for the inconvenience at this point)
% * For margin notes: \graffito{}
% * There is a problem with the case of math text in part-,
%   chapter-, and section titles (either the case or the spacing breaks). 
%   => this can be fixed by using pdftex 1.40 or later and enabling the
%      option pdfspacing of this package
