Thank you very much for your answer. This was partly helpful. I think I'm missing some templates. For example, I miss the 'book' template, I don't see it in the document class. And there are a few more that I don't have. So my question is how do I get that?

There are not templates for every document class. In particular, there is not one for the book class, nor for a simple article. The templates are usually provided for document classes that are somewhat complicated, and have lots of requirements for what is provided. For book and article, that just isn't the case. They have a title, and author, etc, and that's about it.

The help documents just are LyX documents, so you can use them as models. The tutorial uses the book class. The introduction uses the article class. Etc.

Note also that many of the document classes LyX provides will show as 'unavailable'. This is normal, because your TeX installation does not normally install all possible classes. No one needs to use them all. You can install the ones you need.

My suggestion would be to go through the Tutorial. This explains all the basics. If you have specific questions after doing that, ask them here.

Hello Karel,


Most of specificities depends on the language. Otherewise, the core of an article, a report, a book, remains usualy the same.

You should look at the document setting. It will open a window with a lot, including the style of document and language. If you go in more details for the language, you'll see stuff about specificities of your language (which I don't know)

Was that what you were looking for?

Hi all,

As a beginner I want to start with LYX, and since I live in the Netherlands I am looking for the templates used in the EU, especially the Netherlands. That is to say, the files for creating articles, reports, books, letters and presentations. Does anyone know where I can download those files, or am I supposed to create them myself? If the latter is the case, where do I start? I would like to receive answers to these questions. Sincerely, Karel.
