% Usage:
% ------
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \changetext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%     The \changetext command is for changing the size and horizontal position
% of the text block on a page. The command takes 5 arguments, each of which 
% is a length or is empty. i.e.,
%
% \changetext{textheight}{textwidth}{evensidemargin}{oddsidemargin}{columnsep}
%
% The given lengths are added to the corresponding current lengths and
% the remainder of the current page is typeset using the changed text block 
% layout. The new layout remains in effect until another \change... command 
% is issued.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \changepage
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%     The \changepage command is for changing the general layout of
% a page. The command takes 9 arguments, each of which is a length or is empty. 
% The first 5 arguments are the same as for \changetext and have the same effect.
% The last four arguments are:
%
% \changepage{5 args}{topmargin}{headheight}{headsep}{footskip}
%
% These lengths are added to the corresponding current lengths and
% thus modify the vertical positions of the elements of the page. The
% remainder of the current page is typeset using the changed text block 
% and page layout. The new layout remains in effect until another 
% \change... command is issued.
%
% NOTE 1: Not supplying a value for a length argument is equivalent
%         to giving it a zero length value.
%
% NOTE 2: For any given page, everything is constant except for the textwidth
%         and columnsep (for example, what is the meaning of two
%         topmargins on a single column page?).
%         It is therefore best to change anything else at the
%         start of a new page. Further, any changes only apply to whole
%         paragraphs. If you want an odd shaped paragraph use either
%         the hanging package or the TeX \parshape command.
%
%     For example, to change from single column pages to double column
% pages where the text block is both shorter and wider, then to revert
% back to the initial layout:
% ... single column normal page
% \newpage % or \clearpage
% \changetext{-5\baselineskip}{10em}{-5em}{-5em}{}
% \twocolumn
% ... two column pages
% \clearpage 
% \changetext{5\baselineskip}{-10em}{5em}{5em}{}
% \onecolumn
% ... normal pages
%
% Note the adjustments to the margins which will keep the vertical centerline
% of the textblock at the same position on the page.
%
%    As another example, to increase the width of a single paragraph:
%
% \changetext{0pt}{5em}{}{}{}%
% Start of wider paragraph text ...
% ... end of paragraph.
%
% \changetext{0pt}{-5em}{}{}{}
% Start of a normal paragraph ...
%
%     Under some circumstances you can include a \change... command as part of
% the argument to \afterpage (from the afterpage package) and it may work.
% Similarly it may work in a heading style used for \thispagestyle to change
% a single page.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% adjustwidth
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%    Within an adjustwidth environment the left and right margins can be
% adjusted. The environment takes one optional argument and two required
% length arguments: 
%
% \begin{adjustwidth}[]{leftmargin}{rightmargin}
%
%     A positive length value will increase the relevant margin (shortening
% the text lines) while a negative length value will decrease the margin
% (lengthening text lines). An empty length argument means no change
% to the margin. At the end of the environment the margins revert to
% their original values.
%
%    For example, to extend the text into the right margin:
% \begin{adjustwidth}{}{-8em}
%
%    Any appearance of the optional argument (even just []) will cause
% the values of the margins to switch between odd and even pages.
%
%    If the document is being set twosided it might be advantageous
% to have any wider text extending into the outside margin. This
% could be done via the optional argument, as:
% \begin{adjustwidth}[]{}{-8em}
%
%    To have the adjusted text horizontally centered with respect to
% any surrounding text, the margins should be adjusted equally:
% \begin{adjustwidth}{-4em}{-4em}
%
%    For interest, \begin{quotation} is pretty much equivalent
% to \begin{adjustwidth}{2.5em}{2.5em}
%
%    The environment may also be used inside a float if the contents are
% a bit too wide for the text block, but can still fit within the physical
% page:
% \begin{figure}
%   \begin{adjustwidth}{-2em}{-2em}
%      \includegraphics{wide}
%      \caption{Wide figure}
%   \end{adjustwidth}
% \end{figure}
%
%   Sometimes, because of the asynchronous nature of the TeX output
% routine, the margin switching may be incorrect (like \marginpar sometimes)
% near the top of a page. This can be corrected by using the package
% option `strict' (i.e., \usepackage[strict]{chngpage}), which causes
% adjustwidth to use the \checkoddpage command (see below).
%
%   A disadvantage of the strict option is that the package generates
% a new label for each adjustwidth environment, and TeX may run out
% of space if there are an excessive number of labels in the document.
%
%   Whether or not the strict option is used, `strict adjustwidths'
% can be turned on by putting the command \cpstricttrue before
% the environment, and turned of by using \cpstrictfalse.
%
%     NOTE: In a twocolumn document, the adjustwidth environment 
% treats both columns equally. For example, if the width is meant
% to be wider at the outer margin, then on odd pages the extra width
% will be at the right of any column, and on even pages the extra
% will be at the left of any column. You can get interesting effects
% by careful hand tuning on two column pages.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \checkoddpage
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%    The \checkoddpage command can be used anywhere in the body of
% a document to determine if TeX is typesetting on an odd or
% even numbered page. If on an odd page then \ifcpoddpage is
% set TRUE, otherwise (on an even page) \ifcpoddpage is set
% FALSE.
%
%    This works by the \checkoddpage command generating a label and
% then checking the \pageref for the label (actually, a special version
% of \pageref is required and is used internally by \checkoddpage). 
% This mechanism requires at least two LaTeX passes to ensure that 
% the labels have settled (on the initial pass there will be no labels
% in the *.aux file to be checked).
%
%   The label identifier is composed of the command \cplabelprefix
% and an automatically generated number. \cplabelprefix, initially
% defined as `^_', can be changed in the preamble if it will cause
% a clash with any author-defined labels. The default labels will
% be of the form `^_N' where N is a positive integer.
