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.


UPDATES

2014/12/27

- Improved documentation as well as adjustments to both subsection
titles and title page formatting for both research papers and
theses/dissertations.


2014/12/10

- Updated formatting and documentation to better-conform with the 8th
edition of Turabian's "A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses,
and Dissertations."

- Changes to wording, formatting, and organization of README.
