 * date: the date of enactment (also will be enclosed in  tags)
 * side: whether sidenotes should be printed in the right margin (default) or the left
 * datenote: optional notes that sometimes appear in the margin below the date.
 * align: whether the text of the chapter heading should be printed justified (default) or centered
 * footnote: optional footnote to appear after the title
