Hi Martin,
thanks for your immediate reply...comments embedded.
I do not fully understand what the \usepackage in the preamble buys you. When
I remove mysty.sty from the LaTeX system installation, I get an error during
startup of lyx:
"The document uses a missing TeX class "mysty".
LyX will not be able to produce output."
This prevents to preview documents and run conversion to LaTeX on the command
line:
mc:s1 ~/tmp/mysty # lyx -e latex document.lyx
Warning: Document class not available
----------------------------------------
The document uses a missing TeX class "mysty".
LyX will not be able to produce output.
Error: Couldn't export file
----------------------------------------
No information for exporting the format LaTeX (plain).
mc:s1 ~/tmp/mysty #
Did I miss something....?
Thanks,
Rainer
