  \chapter{The Layout}
  
  \newthought{The defining feature} of this class is the wide margin.
  Footnotes become sidenotes\sidenote{Like this one, numbered automatically
  and placed in the margin next to the text it annotates.}, so the reader
  never has to jump to the bottom of the page.
  
  Unnumbered remarks go in with \verb|\marginnote|.\marginnote{A margin
  note: no number, just commentary alongside the paragraph.}
  
  \section{Structure}
  
  A book built on this class opens each chapter on its own page and keeps
  chapter openings restrained. Prefer \verb|\newthought| over deep
  sectioning: the first few words of a paragraph in small caps signal a
  shift of topic without breaking the flow of the page.
  
  \section{Tables}
  
  Tables follow Tufte's rules: no vertical rules, minimal horizontal ones.
  
  \begin{table}[ht]
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{lrr}
      \toprule
      Quantity & 1900 & 2000 \\
      \midrule
      Alpha & 12.4 & 18.1 \\
      Beta  &  3.1 &  9.7 \\
      \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{A table in the main column.}
    \label{tab:example}
  \end{table}
  
  \section{Mathematics}
  
  Displayed mathematics is unchanged from standard \LaTeX:
  \begin{equation}
    \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2}\,dx = \sqrt{\pi}.
  \end{equation}
  
  \newthought{To start writing}, replace this chapter with your own, or ask
  the agent in the chat alongside this document to draft, restructure, or
  typeset material in this style for you.
