Introduction

“This is an example of an epigraph. An epigraph is a quotation that appears at the beginning of a paper or chapter. To make an epigraph, type in the text, select it, and choose the epigraph style. Then on the next line, type and then center the attribution.”

- Some Famous Person

Motivation

Text should be indented at the beginning of paragraphs after the first in a given section. This can be tricky to accomplish, but can be done in a template.

This is a second paragraph, so the first line should be indented slightly. As well, we should be seeing the text as double-spaced so that comments can be written in pretty red ink above the lines for editing.

Again, the standard text should be double-spaced, which the template should take care of for you.

Now for an example of a block quotation that spans multiple lines, with this being the first. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in vulputate velit esse molestie consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat nulla facilisis at vero eros et accumsan et iusto odio dignissim qui blandit praesent luptatum zzril delenit augue duis dolore te feugait nulla facilisi. Nam liber tempor cum soluta nobis eleifend option congue nihil imperdiet doming id quod mazim placerat facer possim assum.

And now these are the lines following the quotation, starting with the current line. The template typically ensures that spacing is all appropriate.

Background

Historical Developments

Test of a Second Level Header

Again, the first paragraph in each section begins without an indentation. However, following paragraphs should be indented.
