# Usage

Easiest way to begin is to start with either the file `example/example.tex` or the template `template.tex`.
The [manual](nddiss2e.pdf) has a lot more information.

The [example](example) directory contains a sample thesis demonstrating the usage of this package.

[comment]: # (The files are the same as in the `sample_ndthesis.tar.gz` distribution by Jeff Squyeres)
[comment]: # (and D. A. Peterson, but modified for the nddiss2e class.)


# Installation

The easiest way to install this package is to copy the `nddiss2e.cls` and
`nddiss2e.bst` files into the same directory as your LaTeX source file.

Beware! If seems `nddiss2e` is already installed on your machine, it is
probably an outdated version from 2005. Please use the current version.


# This Repository

The `Makefile` contains all the logic to process the master source file, `nddiss2e.dtx`.
The `nddiss2e.cls`, `nddiss2e.pdf`, and `template.tex` files are generated from the `dtx` file.
Run `make` to regenerate everything.
These derivatives are checked into the repo to make it easier for people to access and download them.


# Authors

The original version, created by Sameer Vijay, follows the Spring 2004 formatting guidelines.
Later, Megan Patnott updated it to follow the Spring 2013 guidelines.

This is based off of the style file created by D. A. Peterson, Jeff Squyeres, and others.
