\section{Readme}
This template is congruent with:\\
 1-inch margins top/bottom/left/right;\\
 1.5 line spacing; \\
 extra space between paragraphs; \\
 Garamond 12 font; \\
 both left and right hand justification for main text. \\
 References and footnotes are single space (with space between individual citations) and Garamond 11 font.

Footnotes and bibliography\footnote{Use MLA format} are also well configured.

Just add your bib file, before compiling\footnote{or change my code}. Cite papers by \autocite{aristotle:physics,markey}, or \citet{ctan,sigfridsson}.
