+%
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+% You can have multiple style options the legal options ones are:
+%
+% centered the name and address are centered at the top of the
+% page (default)
+%
+% line the name is the left with a horizontal line then
+% the address to the right
+%
+% overlapped the section titles overlap the body text (default)
+%
+% margin the section titles are to the left of the body text
+%
+% 11pt use 11 point fonts instead of 10 point fonts
+%
+% 12pt use 12 point fonts instead of 10 point fonts

+% Commands
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+% \Resume prints the word resume but typeset nicely
+%
+% \newsectionwidth{dimen}
+% defines the amount of space the labels extend
+% into the left margin.
+% DO NOT TRY to change any of the dimensions
+% yourself. You will probably confuse the style file.
+%
+% \name{text} defines your name
+%
+% \address{text}
+% defines your address
+% this can be called twice if you have two addresses
+% use \\'s to indicate where either line breaks or
+% comas should go
+%
+% \opening this prints your name and address at that spot
+% this is not normally needed, as \begin{resume}
+% does this but is provided just in case you need
+% to do something odd
+%
+% \begin{resume} ... \end{resume}
+% all of the resume should go inside of this
+% environment
+%
+% \section{text}
+% This prints 'text' in the left hand margin.
+% Its exact placement depends on what the style
+% options has been set to. (overlapped or margin)
+% You should use \\ to start a new line. If the
+% style option is margin, the \\ is converted
+% to a space.
+% To use this in any of the list environments, put
+% the \section after the \item[] but before the
+% text.
+% Eg.
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item\section{text}
+% text
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+% \begin{ncolumn}{n} ... \end{ncolumn}
+% creates a tabular environment with n equally
+% spaced columns. Separate columns by & and
+% end them with \\
+%
+% \begin{position} ... \end{position}
+% this is used to print a job description. There should
+% be only one job description in it. Information
+% related to the job (such as title, dates...) will
+% be printed.
+%
+% \begin{format} ... \end{format}
+% used to change the default format for the position
+% environment. Within it the recognized commands are:
+% \title{option}
+% \employer{option}
+% \location{option}
+% \dates{option}
+% \body
+% \\
+% where option is one of l,r,c standing for left, right, center.
+% The format will eventually be used to make several
+% tabular environments and you are defining the number of columns
+% and the placement of text within the columns of the tabulars.
+% Each row is terminated by a \\. Any number of options can
+% be on a line, they will each be set in their own columns.
+% Any of the options except \body may be left out.
+%
+% Eg.
+% \begin{format}
+% \title{l}\employer{r}\\
+% \dates{r}\\
+% \body\\
+% \location{l}\\
+% \end{format}
+%
+% In this example the title and employer information
+% are set in 2 columns left justified and right justified
+% respectively. Then the date is set right justified.
+% Then the body is set. Then the location is set left
+% justified.
+%
+% \employer{text}
+% \title{text}
+% \dates{text}
+% \location{text}
+% declare text for the next invocation of the position
+% environment

+% THINGS TO DO
+%
+% add lm,rm options to format style to allow things to be placed
+% in the left or right margin respectivly
+%
+% add capability so that \body doesn't have to be proceeded (followed)
+% by a \\ allowing part of the description (eg. location) to be the
+% first (last) thing of the body
+%
+% clean up the list building procedures
+%
+% write docs to tell people how to use this
