% option [twoside] gives facing-page behavior for printing; omitting twoside will eliminate even-numbered blank pages.
% option [lineno] provides line numbers, as for editing
% option [mydesign] loads packages for color, title and list formats, margins, or captions: edit mydesign.tex to change defaults.
% option [fontset] is a keyvalue which can be:
% for pdftex or unicode engines: defaultfonts, libertine, libertinus, lmodern, lucida
% for pdftex only: fira-newtxsf, newtx, newtx-sans-text
% for unicode engines (luatex): heros-stix2, stix2, termes, termes-stix2
% if no key value is given, fonts default to CMR (pdftex) or LMR (unicode), i.e., "the LaTeX font".
% You can edit the fontset files or you can write your own, myfonts.tex, and do [fontset=myfonts].
% If you are using multiple languages, load the babel package in your fontset file, before the fonts.
