Re: Can't see my layout environments SOLVED
Hi all, I solved the problem. The root cause was that in my .layout file I forgot to end one or more LyX styles with the End keyword. If your .layout file seems to be recognized but you don't see your custom created LyX environments in your LyX environment dropdown, look for an unended LyX style. Another symptom would be wierd line numbers on LyX error messages. SteveT On Saturday 29 October 2005 10:31 pm, Steve Litt wrote: I have more info.
