Document 542 LaTeX document class optionsVersion: 3.x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word Although the document class defines a shell document in broad typesetting terms, LaTeX needs additional typesetting instructions to format a document completely. Some of these instructions come from document class options, a collection of formatting instructions that define typesetting in more detail. The options can control body text font size, page orientation, number of text columns, print quality, page size, and many other aspects of document design and typesetting. Default Class OptionsUsually, each class option has several available settings, one of which has been selected as the default, such as 10 point for the body text font size or portrait for the page orientation. The options and their corresponding defaults differ from class to class. The default settings for the three LaTeX base document classes—article, book, and report—appear below. The class option defaults are in effect unless otherwise noted in the shell. The option settings differ from shell to shell. If you're using a shell based on a customized document class, the default categories and the corresponding options may differ. You can examine the document class options in effect for a particular shell.
