From the README:
Memoir is a configurable class for general fiction, non-fiction
and mathematical books. It encompasses the standard book and report classes and can simulate the article class as well as a double spaced typewritten manuscript.
It provides a variety of predefined page, chapter, and caption
styles and easy ways of creating new ones. There is a reasonably intuitive way of specifyng page margins, etc., with an option for printing trimming marks. Documents can use 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt or 17pt as the normal font size.
Changes (2003/01/22) o Second optional argument to section etc., for page header text o Number formatting --- cardinals and ordinals, numeric and spelled out o Better cooperation with natbib, chapterbib, hyperref and nameref packages o New version (1.3) of mempatch.sty o New version (1.1) of memhfixc.sty o New version of the Addendum
