Overview
This bundle for LaTeX and LyX has two goals:
- Provide students with an easy-to-use template for their Master’s or PhD thesis. (Though it might also be used by other types of authors for reports, books, etc.)
- Provide a classic, high-quality typographic style that is inspired by Robert Bringhurst’s “The Elements of Typographic Style“.
The bundle is configured to run with a full MiKTeX or TeXLive installation right away and, therefore, it uses only freely available fonts. Minion fans can easily adjust the style to their needs.
People interested only in the nice style and not the whole bundle can use the style stand-alone via the file classicthesis.sty. This works also with “plain” LaTeX.
As of version 3.0, classicthesis can also be easily used with LyX thanks to Nicholas Mariette and Ivo Pletikosic.
