This collection of files will assist LaTeX users in |
4 |
preparing doctoral dissertations according to the for- |
5 |
matting requirements of the Graduate School, here at |
6 |
the University of Notre Dame. Working in the UNIX |
7 |
environment, type "make sample" to see a sample thesis |
8 |
(be sure that "make" and "ghostview" are in your search |
9 |
path, which was true, for all users, at Notre Dame, |
10 |
when this was written). |
11 |
|
12 |
thesis.tex: |
13 |
This file is intended to serve a thesis template, |
14 |
edited by each user. The file "sample.tex" is an |
15 |
exact copy that can be left unedited, as a backup, |
16 |
for future reference. |
17 |
|
18 |
sample.tex: |
19 |
see "thesis.tex" |
20 |
|
21 |
thesis.bib: |
22 |
This file is intended to provide an editable |
23 |
bibliography template for the "thesis.tex" file |
24 |
above. It shows examples of all common biblio- |
25 |
graphic entries. The file "SAMPLE.BIB" is an exact |
26 |
copy that can be left unedited, as a backup, for |
27 |
future reference. |
28 |
|
29 |
sample.bib: |
30 |
see "thesis.bib" |
31 |
|
32 |
sample.eps: |
33 |
A sample graphic, imported by the "thesis.tex" and |
34 |
"sample.tex" files. |
35 |
|
36 |
Makefile: |
37 |
This file contains instructions for automatic pro- |
38 |
cessing of "thesis.tex" and "thesis.bib" - just type |
39 |
"make" and all the required steps occur automati- |
40 |
cally. Alternatively, type "make sample" to view a |
41 |
sample thesis, instead. Also, this "makefile" can |
42 |
generate "PDF" output - just type "make pdf" to gen- |
43 |
erate "PDF" output from the "thesis.tex" file. The |
44 |
"emacs" editor will complain of a suspicious line |
45 |
each time changes are saved - ignore the warning. |
46 |
|
47 |
ndthesis.cls: |
48 |
This file defines all the required formating for a |
49 |
doctoral dissertation at Notre Dame. Invoke this |
50 |
file by including "\documentclass[]{ndthesis}" as |
51 |
the first line of a LaTeX document. |
52 |
|
53 |
ndthesis.dtx: |
54 |
To generate documentation for "ndthesis.cls" type |
55 |
"latex ndthesis.dtx" followed by "makeindex -s |
56 |
gglo.ist -o ndthesis.gls ndthesis.glo" followed by |
57 |
"latex ndthesis.dtx" again, repeating until cross- |
58 |
references are resolved (LaTeX stops complaining). |
59 |
|
60 |
thesis.ins: |
61 |
To make new versions of "ndthesis.cls and |
62 |
template.tex" type "latex ndthesis.ins" which |
63 |
replaces existing versions of these files. There |
64 |
should be no reason to do this. |
65 |
|
66 |
thesis.bst: |
67 |
This defines an "acceptable" bibliography format. |
68 |
To generate a custom format, type "latex |
69 |
makebst.tex" and enter "merlin.bst" as the template |
70 |
file. |
71 |
|
72 |
makebst.tex: |
73 |
see thesis.bst |
74 |
|
75 |
merlin.mbs: |
76 |
see thesis.bst |
77 |
|
78 |
All remaining files should never require editing. |
