Oxford LyX Thesis Template
To celebrate the release of LyX 1.6.6, I thought I’d upload an Oxford Thesis Template for mathematics/physics/engineering, based on K. Gillow’s excellent LaTeX class. While it’s tailored to Oxford, with a few modifications I’m sure it could be used for any thesis.
To get it working, you’ll have to copy the ociamthesis-lyx.cls into your TeX installation, and copy the ociamthesis-lyx.layout to your LyX layout directory. Have a read of the readme.txt for further instructions. Finally, here’s an example PDF.

Hey Danny,
many thanks for posting this template, i’ve been looking for a while at nice ways to combine various parts of my thesis.
I have a few problems with this. Firstly, the ociamthesis-lyx.cls is not included in the zip file, but i renamed ociamthesis.cls which is.
Still lyx would not pick this up.
I found that the tex information dialogue allows lyx to rescan tex classes. Once ociamthesis-lyx appeared there everything appeared to be ok.
the next small problem i have is with the fonts…
” \font\crestfont=oxcrest40 scaled\magstep3″ ??
I am using xp so i wonder if these are just little differences between mac os. there is enough of a template here for me to create my own now, but thank you very very much for posting this!

Hi Phillip – thanks for the comments – I think the first time I uploaded I forgot to put ociamthesis-lyx.cls in the archive, it should be in there now! It should also solve the font problem you’re having (there’s a line or two modified that removes metafont support, because hey, who uses metafonts nowadays?)
