%% The following makes chapters and sections, but not subsections,

%% make subsections or subsubsections appear, respectively. It seems
%% to be usual to use the "1" setting, however.

%% Sectional units up to subsubsections are numbered. To number
%% subsections, but not subsubsections, decrease this counter to 2.
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}

\newcommand{\com}[1]{\marginpar{\tiny #1}} % as (tiny) margin notes
%\newcommand{\com}[1]{} % suppress all comments.
