Thanks, now it seems everything works more or less correctly.

Sorry, I hadn't realized that you were using 2.0.x, so I used layout
commands that are only valid in later versions. Use the attached.

Sorry, I hadn't realized that you were using 2.0.x, so I used layout

Re: problem with creating layout file for some class

[Bieniasz Leslaw]

My attempts to open the new/converted LyX file cause a message 

(this is a translation; it may be not exact): 

"The class cannot be loaded. As a result of the error in the document
class file: ijnam 

could not be loaded. A default document class will be used with a
default layout. 

LyX cannot produce a correct result". 

The file is then opened, but indeed the file structure seems to be
different from the intended one. 

I stress that in my opinion the class has been installed correctly, as
it works 
with TeXWorks. Also, there were no messages of this sort previously,
before installing 
your layout file. So, I would rather suspect that something has to be
changed in the layout 
file. My inability to import the original TeX file into LyX (after
installing the layout file) 
seems to confirm this idea.

Here are the files in your LyX 2.2 version format. 

I need the format for 2.0.2.

If you send me the file back, I can convert it to 2.0.x format.

Re: problem with creating layout file for some class

[Bieniasz Leslaw]

Thank you very much. 

I have copied the layout file and reconfigured LyX, apparently without
any visible problems. 

Unfortunately, an attempt to open the LyX file results in a message: 

C:/LyXTemp/lyx_tmpdir.gq2504/Buffer_convertLyXFormat. Ya254 is not a LyX
document. 

Another attempt, to import the original TeX file yields a message: 

An error occurred while running: tex2lyx -f "ijnam.tex" "ijnam.lyx" 

and nothing is read. 

Possibly there is some version incompatibility. I have LyX 2.0.2
installed. 

Is there any way to solve the problem without installing a different
version?

Re: problem with creating layout file for some class

[Richard Heck]

Attached are a working layout and test file. The problem with the file
you sent was that some of the unknown commands were being imported as
ERT in Standard environments, which breaks the entire title block.

Can you also post whatever LyX file you are trying to use?

It was the current format for the 2.0.x series. I found that out by
looking at the git source for the 2.0.0 tag.

The current format for whatever version you are using can be found by
looking at any layout files shipped with it.

Since the class file was "generated by modifying amsart.cls", your best
place to start would be:

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[ijnam]{amsart (ijnam)}

Format 35

Input amsart.layout

If this does not help matters, then it would help me to see the TeX file
that works.
