% \section{Sectioning Commands}
%
% This file defines the declarations such as |\author| which are used
% by |\maketitle|. |\maketitle| itself is defined by each class, not
% in the \LaTeX{} kernel.
%
% The second part of the file defines the generic commands used for
% defining sectioning commands such as |\chapter|. Again the actual
% document level commands are defined in the class files, in terms of
% these commands.

% \DescribeMacro{\title}
% The user defines the title and  author by the declarations
% |\title|\marg{name},
% \DescribeMacro{\author}
% |\author|\marg{name}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\date}
% Similarly the date is declared with
% |\date|\marg{date}.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\thanks}
% Inside these, the |\thanks|\marg{footnote text} command may be used
% to make acknowledgements, notice of address, etc.\ in a footnote.
% \DescribeMacro{\and}
% If there are multiple authors, they have to be separated with the
% |\and| command.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\maketitle}
% And finally, the |\maketitle| command produces the actual title,
% using the information previously saved with the other commands.

% Way back in 1991 (08/26) FMi \& RmS set the |@noskipsec| switch

% This was done to trap lists and related text in the preamble but it

% The |\@startsection{|\meta{name}|}{|\meta{level}|}{|%
%       \meta{indent}|}{|\meta{beforeskip}|}|\\
%     |{|\meta{afterskip}|}{|\meta{style}|}*[|\meta{altheading}%
%     |]{|\meta{heading}|}|
% command is the mother of all the user level sectioning commands.
% The part after the |*|, including the |*| is optional.
%
% \begin{description}
% \item[name:] e.g., 'subsection'
% \item[level:] a number, denoting depth of section -- e.g.,
%                  chapter = 0, section = 1, etc.
% \item[indent:] Indentation of heading from left margin
% \item[beforeskip:] Absolute value = skip to leave above the heading.
%                If negative, then paragraph indent of text following
%                heading is suppressed.
% \item[afterskip:] if positive, then skip to leave below heading, else
%                negative of skip to leave to right of run-in heading.
% \item[style:] Commands to set style. Since June 1996 release the
%               \emph{last} command in this argument may be a command
%                such as |\MakeUppercase| that takes an
%                argument but doesn't start a paragraph (so |\fbox| or |\textit|,
%                for example, wouldn't work without breaking the formatting).
%                The section heading will be supplied as the
%                argument to this command. So setting |#6| to, say,
%                |\bfseries\MakeUppercase| would produce bold,
%                uppercase headings.
% \end{description}
%
%  If `|*|' is  missing, then increment the counter.  If it is
%  present, then there should be no |[|\meta{altheading}|]| argument.
%  The command uses the counter 'secnumdepth'. It contains a pointer
%  to the highest section level that is to be numbered.
%
%  \textbf{Warning:}
%  The |\@startsection| command should be at the same or higher
%  grouping level as the text that follows it.  For example, you should
%  \emph{not} do something like
%  \begin{verbatim}
%      \def\foo{ \begingroup ...
%                   \paragraph{...}
%                 \endgroup}

%  defined by document style for making an entry of type \meta{type}
%  in a table of contents, etc.  E.g., the document style
%  should define |\l@chapter|, |\l@section|, etc.
%
%  \textbf{Note:} When the |\protect| command is
%  used in the \meta{entry} or \meta{text} of one of the commands
%  below, it causes the following control sequence to be written on
%  the file without being expanded.  The sequence will be expanded
%  when the table of contents entry is processed.
%
%  \textbf{Surprise:} Inside an |\addcontentsline| or |\addtocontents|
%  command argument, the commands: |\index|, |\glossary|,  and |\label|
%  are  no-ops .  This could cause a problem if the user puts an
%  |\index| or |\label| into one of the commands he writes, or into the

%  command.

% \textbf{Note:} |\nobreak|'s added 7 Jan 86 to prevent bad line break
% that left the page number dangling by itself at left edge of a new
% line.
%
% Changed 25 Jan 88 to use |\leftskip| instead of |\hangindent| so
% leaders of multiple-line contents entries would line up properly.
% \begin{macro}{\numberline}
% |\numberline{|\meta{number}|}|: For use in a |\contentsline| command.
%   It puts \meta{number} flushleft in a box of width |\@tempdima|
%   (Before 25
%   Jan 88 change, it also added |\@tempdima| to the hanging
%   indentation.)
