Great ! This is where the confusion has to be resolved first. We have two
zip files - rtthesis.zip and rtthesis-exjobb.zip . After unzipping we get
two folders - rtthesis and rtthesisex. So far I have just copied all the
contents inside rtthesis folder inside the newly created folder rtthesis at
/usr/share/tex/latex/. It is implied that this is the main package
everything will be built upon.
Do I have to do the similar with rtthesisex as well ? I thought that the
contents inside the folder rtthesisex is nothing but an example to follow,
was not sure how come they will contribute to the creation of the .layout
file from the .cls file that is already found inside the rtthesis folder.
The contents of the rtthesis.layout is as follows:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[rtthesis]{rtthesis}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I suspect that something more to be added here inside the .layout file so
that all the options will be reflected through the interface.
Thanks
