+% Article-class styles and page layout for CDSC paper documents.
+%
+% This file replaces the older cdsc-memoir.sty. It targets the
+% standard `article' class so the LaTeX tagging-project can produce
+% tagged, accessible PDFs --- memoir is currently incompatible with
+% that work. The look-and-feel is kept as close to the previous
+% cdsc-article chapterstyle as is practical.
