Apart from specifics related to verbatim listing and indexing of code sections, the ltxdoc class is essentially just the standard article class.
In comments you clarified that a motivating example is the microtype documentation. the layout used there is essentially independent of the class as it redefines the entire layout in a 600 line preamble.
You can copy that preamble and use it with article class as below, I just had to comment out a few lines (marked %dpc) that were changing things specific to ltxdoc so not relevant to an article class document. The result typesets as:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}

.dtxfile is a special form of.texfile and can be typeset directly. There's really no 'extract the.texfile' part to the process..texpart is to have a minimal working model of the.dtxfile so that it produces the same documentation as output without producing other files..dtxfile withpdflatexwill often just produce the PDF: that depends on what tricks are used in the.dtx. The code is part of the typeset PDF output so you really can't start stripping out the DocStrip material..insfile to do that.)
