Memoir is a configurable class for general fiction, non-fictionand 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 captionstyles 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.
