The LaTeX class drexel-thesis is distributed in the docstrip file drexel-thesis.dtx with the install file drexel-thesis.ins. For more information on the docstrip format, look here and here.

To generate the class file drexel-thesis.cls, the template files, the PDF documentation, and a bunch of intermediate files, run:

$ make

in this directory. You'll need to install drexel-thesis.cls somewhere in your texmf tree (or just dump it into the top level of your thesis directory). Running:

$ make temp-clean

will get rid of the intermediate files.

We also package the LyX template drexel-thesis.layout to assist those using the drexel-thesis template with LyX.

For more elaborate examples, see the samples in the DissertationDocs repository.

Happy TeXing!
