Abstract of this chapter goes here. \kant[1] \section{Section12} This is the first section of the thesis (1st level: 1.2. Section). \kant[2] \section{Section13} This is the second section of the thesis (1st level: 1.3. Section). \kant[3] \subsection{Subsection131} This is the subsection text (2nd level: 1.3.1. Subsection). \kant[4] \subsubsection{Subsubsection1311} This is the subsection text (3rd level: 1.3.1.1. Subsubsection). \kant[5] \paragraph{Paragraph13111} This is the subsection text (4th level: 1.3.1.1.1. Paragraph). \kant[6] \section{Table and Figure} This is the third section of the thesis (1st level: 1.4. Section). This section illustrates the inclusion of a simple table (\cref{tab:1}) and a figure shown later. \begin{table}[h] \centering \caption{Table captions go at the top of the table. This was long caption of the table included in the first chapter --- so that we see how it breaks into another line and having a single spacing. Usually tables are of full-width and are demonstrated subsequently.} \vspace{-1ex} \begin{tabular}{clr} \toprule Number & Month & Days\\ \midrule 1 & January & 31\\ 2 & February & 28\\ 3 & March & 31\\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \label{tab:1} \end{table} \kant[7] Now the figure (\cref{fig:1}) illustrates an example figure from the \texttt{mwe} package. \myfig{H}{0.6}{example-image-duck}{Caption for this example image in this first chapter.} {fig:1} \kant[8-9] %**********************************Second chapter - regular \myheading{The Second Chapter - Regular Style - Long title for this chapter} Regular style chapters will not have abstracts. General information or outline of the chapter is given here --- before breaking into sections. \section{Excellent Results} This is another section of the thesis (1st level: 2.1. Experimental Results). \Cref{tab:2} presents the results in a tabular form that spans the entire width. Please note the results shown (\cref{tab:2}) are preliminary. \begin{table}[ht] \centering \caption{Table spanning entire width (full-width) using \texttt{setlength} and \texttt{tabcolsep}} \vspace{-1ex} \setlength{\tabcolsep}{3.75em} \begin{tabular}{@{\hspace{2ex}} lccr @{\hspace{2ex}}} \toprule Number & Name of month & Days & Season\\ \midrule 4 & April & 30 & Spring\\ 5 & May & 31 & Summer\\ 6 & June & 30 & Summer\\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \begin{tablenotes}[flushleft] \footnotesize \item \hspace{-1ex} \emph{Note}: The \texttt{tablenotes} environment produces table footnotes. \end{tablenotes} \label{tab:2} \end{table} \kant[7-8] \subsection{Minor Results} This is a subsection of the thesis (1st level: 2.2. Experimental Results). \kant[8] The \Cref{fig:2} is an example image with command showing all arguments including the optional caption placement. The example figure (\cref{fig:2}) is included in the \texttt{mwe} package. \myfig[2ex]{H}{0.5}{example-image}{Caption for this example image demonstrating an optional 2ex vertical spacing. Compare this with a narrow caption spacing without optional argument in \cref{fig:1}.}{fig:2} \kant[8] \section{Some References} Referring to all entries in the ``\texttt{mybib.bib}'' file to generate the citations here and the listing using the \texttt{\textbackslash citep\{\ldots\}} ``natbib'' command (cite parenthesis)\citep{texbook,lcompanion,latex2e,knuth1984,lesk1977,amsthm2017, calvo2004using,cannayen2011latex,kopka2004guide,notso2021}. The same using \texttt{\textbackslash citet\{\ldots\}} command (cite text) in the running text as: The authors \citet{texbook,lcompanion,latex2e,knuth1984,lesk1977,amsthm2017, calvo2004using,cannayen2011latex,kopka2004guide,notso2021} have something to do with \LaTeX. For most bibliography citation and list creation, these two commands are sufficient. %**********************************Bibliography handling \biblio{apalike}{mybib} % Shortcut command using style and bib-file arguments %**********************************Named appendix A \namedappendices{A}{Named first appendix} Appendix material can be included here.
