\chapter{Basic Considerations}
This is a sample masters thesis. It has two skeleton chapters and two
appendices with simple figures and tables so that the lists and tables are
populated. There is no bibliography information.
The body of the thesis would go here. Note that the placement of figures and
amount of figures and text per page is controlled by the \LaTeX commands:
\verb+\floatpagefraction+, \verb+\topfraction+, \verb+\bottomfraction,+ and
\verb+\textfraction+.
\begin{table} \caption{Sample table in Chapter 1} \begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline

\end{center} \end{figure}
\chapter{Advanced Considerations}
A second chapter is included to illustrate the \verb+\numberbychapter+ feature,
which numbers tables and figures by the chapter number.
\begin{figure} \caption{Sample figure in Chapter 2} \begin{center}
\framebox{\begin{minipage}{5in}

Column 1, line 4 & Column 2, line 4 \\ \hline
\end{tabular} \end{center} \end{table}
\includebibliography{
\chapter*{Bibliography}
The bibliography would go here. It will not appear in the table of contents by
default. The \emph{includebibliography} command adds to the table of contents
and formats as single space. The built in \LaTeX\ bilbiography features can be
used inside and are automatically single spaced.
}
\appendices \chapter{The First Appendix}
\begin{table} \caption{Sample table in first appendix} \begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline
Column 1, line 1 & Column 2, line 1 \\ \hline
Column 1, line 2 & Column 2, line 2 \\ \hline
Column 1, line 3 & Column 2, line 3 \\ \hline
Column 1, line 4 & Column 2, line 4 \\ \hline
\end{tabular} \end{center} \end{table}
The first appendix goes here. The style file changes the chapter title to
"Appendix A" rather than ``A'' in the table of contents per the thesis
guidelines. The PhD example has a single appendix for illustration.
A specific \verb+\chapter+ declaration is required for each appendix to specify
the title of the appendix. In that respect, it behaves like any other chapter
and the \verb+\appendices+ command merely reformats so it is called
``Appendix A'' in the table of contents
\chapter{The Second Appendix}
A second Appendix goes here. Two figures are included for inclusion in the
table of contents.
\begin{figure} \caption{Sample figure in the second appendix} \begin{center}
\framebox{\begin{minipage}{5in}
\vspace{2in} \hfill \Huge A Figure would go here. \hfill \vspace{2in}

\end{center} \end{figure}
\begin{figure} \caption{Second sample figure in the second appendix}
\begin{center}
\framebox{\begin{minipage}{5in}
\vspace{2in} \hfill \Huge A Figure would go here. \hfill \vspace{2in}
