You can specify global options or class options to the \documentclass
command by enclosing them in square brackets. To specify more than one option, separate them with a comma.
\documentclass[option1,option2,...]{class}
Here is the list of the standard class options.
All of the standard classes except slides
accept the following options for selecting the typeface size (default is 10pt
):
10pt 11pt 12pt
All of the standard classes accept these options for selecting the paper size (these show height by width):
a4paper
210 by 297mm (about 8.25 by 11.75 inches)
a5paper
148 by 210mm (about 5.8 by 8.3 inches)
b5paper
176 by 250mm (about 6.9 by 9.8 inches)
executivepaper
7.25 by 10.5 inches
legalpaper
8.5 by 14 inches
letterpaper
8.5 by 11 inches (the default)
When using one of the engines pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, or XeLaTeX (see TeX engines), options other than letterpaper
set the print area but you must also set the physical paper size. One way to do that is to put \pdfpagewidth=\paperwidth
and \pdfpageheight=\paperheight
in your document’s preamble.
The geometry
package provides flexible ways of setting the print area and physical page size.
Miscellaneous other options:
draft
final
Mark (draft
) or do not mark (final
) overfull boxes with a black box in the margin; default is final
.
fleqn
Put displayed formulas flush left; default is centered.
landscape
Selects landscape format; default is portrait.
leqno
Put equation numbers on the left side of equations; default is the right side.
openbib
Use “open” bibliography format.
titlepage
notitlepage
Specifies whether there is a separate page for the title information and for the abstract also, if there is one. The default for the report
class is titlepage
, for the other classes it is notitlepage
.
The following options are not available with the slides
class.
onecolumn
twocolumn
Typeset in one or two columns; default is onecolumn
.
oneside
twoside
Selects one- or two-sided layout; default is oneside
, except that in the book
class the default is twoside
.
For one-sided printing, the text is centered on the page. For two-sided printing, the \evensidemargin
(\oddsidemargin
) parameter determines the distance on even (odd) numbered pages between the left side of the page and the text’s left margin, with \oddsidemargin
being 40% of the difference between \paperwidth
and \textwidth
, and \evensidemargin
is the remainder.
openright
openany
Determines if a chapter should start on a right-hand page; default is openright
for book
, and openany
for report
.
The slides
class offers the option clock
for printing the time at the bottom of each note.
