+\chapter[Customizing Tufte-LaTeX]{Customizing \TL}
+\label{ch:customizing}
+
+The \TL document classes are designed to closely emulate Tufte's book
+design by default.  However, each document is different and you may encounter
+situations where the default settings are insufficient.  This chapter explores
+many of the ways you can adjust the \TL document classes to better fit
+your needs.
+
+\section{File Hooks}
+\label{sec:filehooks}
+
+\index{file hooks|(}
+If you create many documents using the \TL classes, it's easier to
+store your customizations in a separate file instead of copying them into the
+preamble of each document.  The \TL classes provide three file hooks:
+\docfilehook{tufte-common-local.tex}{common}, \docfilehook{tufte-book-local.tex}{book}, and
+\docfilehook{tufte-handout-local.tex}{handout}.\sloppy
+
+\begin{description}
+  \item[\docfilehook{tufte-common-local.tex}{common}]
+    If this file exists, it will be loaded by all of the \TL document
+    classes just prior to any document-class-specific code.  If your
+    customizations or code should be included in both the book and handout
+    classes, use this file hook.
+  \item[\docfilehook{tufte-book-local.tex}{book}] 
+    If this file exists, it will be loaded after all of the common and
+    book-specific code has been read.  If your customizations apply only to the
+    book class, use this file hook.
+  \item[\docfilehook{tufte-common-handout.tex}{handout}] 
+    If this file exists, it will be loaded after all of the common and
+    handout-specific code has been read.  If your customizations apply only to

+\section{Numbered Section Headings}
+\label{sec:numbered-sections}
+\index{headings!numbered}
+
+While Tufte dispenses with numbered headings in his books, if you require them,
+they can be anabled by changing the value of the \doccounter{secnumdepth}
+counter.  From the table below, select the heading level at which numbering
+should stop and set the \doccounter{secnumdepth} counter to that value.  For
+example, if you want parts and chapters numbered, but don't want numbering for
+sections or subsections, use the command:
+\begin{docspec}
+  \doccmd{setcounter}\{secnumdepth\}\{0\}
+\end{docspec}
+
+The default \doccounter{secnumdepth} for the \TL document classes is $-1$.
+
+\begin{table}
+  \footnotesize
+  \begin{center}
+    \begin{tabular}{lr}
+      \toprule

+
+\section{Changing the Paper Size}
+\label{sec:paper-size}
+
+The \TL classes currently only provide three paper sizes: \textsc{a4},
+\textsc{b5}, and \textsc{us} letter.  To specify a different paper size (and/or
+margins), use the \doccmd[geometry]{geometrysetup} command in the preamble of your
+document (or one of the file hooks).  The full documentation of the
+\doccmd{geometrysetup} command may be found in the \docpkg{geometry} package
+documentation.\cite{pkg-geometry}
+
+
+\section{Customizing Marginal Material}
+\label{sec:marginal-material}
+
+Marginal material includes sidenotes, citations, margin notes, and captions.
+Normally, the justification of the marginal material follows the justification
+of the body text.  If you specify the \docclsopt{justified} document class
+option, all of the margin material will be fully justified as well.  If you
+don't specify the \docclsopt{justified} option, then the marginal material will
+be set ragged right.
+
+You can set the justification of the marginal material separately from the body
+text using the following document class options: \docclsopt{sidenote},
+\docclsopt{marginnote}, \docclsopt{caption}, \docclsopt{citation}, and
+\docclsopt{marginals}.  Each option refers to its obviously corresponding
+marginal material type.  The \docclsopt{marginals} option simultaneously sets
+the justification on all four marginal material types.
+
+Each of the document class options takes one of five justification types:
+\begin{description}
+  \item[\docclsopt{justified}] Fully justifies the text (sets it flush left and
+    right).
+  \item[\docclsopt{raggedleft}] Sets the text ragged left, regardless of which
+    page it falls on.
+  \item[\docclsopt{raggedright}] Sets the text ragged right, regardless of
+    which page it falls on.
+  \item[\doccls{raggedouter}] Sets the text ragged left if it falls on the
+    left-hand (verso) page of the spread and otherwise sets it ragged right.
+    This is useful in conjunction with the \docclsopt{symmetric} document class
+    option.
+  \item[\docclsopt{auto}] If the \docclsopt{justified} document class option
+    was specified, then set the text fully justified; otherwise the text is set
+    ragged right.  This is the default justification option if one is not
+    explicitly specified.
+\end{description}
+
+\noindent For example, 
+\begin{docspec}
+  \doccmdnoindex{documentclass}[symmetric,justified,marginals=raggedouter]\{tufte-book\}
+\end{docspec}
+will set the body text of the document to be fully justified and all of the
+margin material (sidenotes, margin notes, captions, and citations) to be flush
+against the body text with ragged outer edges.
