 The template uses the ```floatpag``` package.  All you need to do is place a ```\thisfloatpagestyle{empty}``` inside the figure or table environment.  Et voilà!  There is an example of this [here](https://github.com/jp-um/university_of_malta_LaTeX_dissertation_template/blob/master/chap2/background_and_lit_overview_main.tex).
 
+### How do I change the referencing style change from plainnat to APA?
+
+This is more involved than I would have liked, but anyway. Follow these steps:
+
+1. From the `natbib` package import in [um.cls](https://github.com/jp-um/university_of_malta_LaTeX_dissertation_template/blob/b08c822a3b1043699258adc53fb0547f1a1d1bde/um.cls#L38C52-L38C52), remove all options `[authoryear,semicolon,sort]` as these are incompatible with the `apacite` package (which we need for APA referencing)
+2. Above the line changed above, insert `\RequirePackage{apacite}`
+3. In [dissertation_main.tex](https://github.com/jp-um/university_of_malta_LaTeX_dissertation_template/blob/b08c822a3b1043699258adc53fb0547f1a1d1bde/dissertation_main.tex#L121) change the bibliography style from `um-plainnat` to `apacite`.
+4. Rebuild the bibliography and recompile the document.
+
+### How do I change the one-and-a-half to double line spacing?
+
+In my opinion you don't want to do this because the document is going to become very long. The idea of having double line spacing is to let examiners/supervisors write between the lines. This is not required for the final submission and mostly superceded by more modern word-processing and reviewing tools. Also, the current one and a half line spacing gives enough space for this.
+
+If you want to go ahead anyway with this, change this line in [um.cls](https://github.com/jp-um/university_of_malta_LaTeX_dissertation_template/blob/b08c822a3b1043699258adc53fb0547f1a1d1bde/um.cls#L120) from `\OnehalfSpacing` to `\DoubleSpacing`.
+
+### How do I change the document margins?
+
+Also required in ancient times to write notes in the margin (and again superceded by modern word-processing and reviewing tools).
+
+Still, should be an easy one, just change the values in the following line in [um.cls](https://github.com/jp-um/university_of_malta_LaTeX_dissertation_template/blob/b08c822a3b1043699258adc53fb0547f1a1d1bde/um.cls#L144C2-L144C2).

 ### How do I write good Latex Mathematical Notation/Formulae?
 
 The [Math on Quora](https://math-on-quora.surge.sh/) is all you need. Any math notation you might need is available conveniently in the menu bar. All examples contain live code blocks so you can try out your math formulae directly in the web browser.
