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. |
