The main idea behind this document is to demonstrate various either
contributed or inspired chapter styles for the memoir class.

If you have style you would like to contribute a style/implementation,
please send it with a minimal example to daleif+memoir@imf.au.dk
and I will include it into this document.

How to compile this showcase document:
--------------------------------------

Requirements:

A fairly new LaTeX installation

pdfcrop (comes at least with TeX Live 2009)
pdftops (available through TeX Live 2009)
perl    (see later)


To compile:

Run the document once through latex or pdflatex.
This will create 

  process.pl
  chapterexample.tex

and a lot of
  
  *-style.tex

files

Now run (you might need to change the permissions on process.pl)

  ./process.pl -f MemoirChapStyles.styles

This will process all of the *-style files mentioned in MemoirChapStyles.styles.
It will run

  pdflatex XXX-style.tex
  pdfcrop XXX-style.pdf tmp.pdf
  mv tmp.pdf XXX-style.pdf
  pdftops -eps XXX-style.pdf


(plus a little extra for the EQ style)

The reason for going over pdflatex, pdfcrop, pdftops is that dvips is
not good at creating correct bounding boxes for files that contain
postscript effects, pdfcrop does a much better job.

Then run latex or pdflatex on MemoirChapStyles.tex a few times to get all
references up to date.
