You can specify so-called global options or class options
to the \documentclass
command by enclosing them in square
brackets as usual. To specify more than one option, separate
them with a comma:
\documentclass[option1,option2,...]{class}
Here is the list of the standard class options.
All of the standard classes except slides
accept the following
options for selecting the typeface size (default is 10pt
):
10pt 11pt 12pt
All of the standard classes accept these options for selecting the paper
size (default is letterpaper
):

class.
The \evensidemargin
(\oddsidemargin
parameter determines
the distance on even (odd) numbered pages between the left side of the
page and the text's left margin. The defaults vary with the paper
size and whether one- or two-side layout is selected. For one-sided
printing the text is centered, for two-sided, \oddsidemargin
is
40% of the difference between \paperwidth
and \textwidth
with \evensidemargin
the remainder.
openright

openright
for book.
The slides
class offers the option clock
for printing
the time at the bottom of each note.
Additional packages are loaded like this:
\usepackage[options]{pkg}
To specify more than one pkg, you can separate them with a
comma, or use multiple \usepackage
commands.
Any options given in the \documentclass
command that are unknown
by the selected document class are passed on to the packages loaded with
\usepackage
.
