Hello,
I am quite new to LyX, and I am having some trouble creating a
layout from what is apparently a LaTeX2e file. I am using LyX 1.1.5fix1,
and I've followed the section in the Customization tutorial. For some
reason, it just isn't working. As far as I can tell, the style file is
indeed LaTeX2e, so I am following the route where I copy an existing
.layout file (report.layout in this case), modify it appropriately and
reconfigure. All the .sty files and .layout file are in ~/.lyx/layouts,
and the relevant output line from reconfiguring is:
+checking for document class isuthesis [report, isuthesis.sty]...
What is confusing me is why it does not say "yes" or "no" for this
file. When reconfiguring gets done, it says that textclass.lst is
identical to the global copy, so it gets deleted.
If it helps, the style files I am using are available at:
http://www.ait.iastate.edu/tex/Isuthesis/
I have attached my .layout file. The style file is isuthesis.sty.
LyX support at this university is pretty much non-existant, and most
people seem to have moved to using MS Word to write their theses. :(
LyX is definitely the tool I want to use, but I need to get over this
one hurdle before I can continue.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick
