Hi. I'm new to this list. I've been finally using lyx heavily because of the death of my windows partition. So, i now want to make a document class for the standard document format in the country (I live in Colombia, and the standards organization in here, Icontec, has established norms for the presentation of written works, and it's mostly respected everywhere from schools to universities), which has specific margins, distances from the top of the paper for titles, and so on. But i don't really wanna get too deep in it, just want to make something useful and start using it to death.
So, is there any HOWTO on making classes and things like that? i'm already used to the power of lyx with it's handling of math, and i don't ever want to use a common wordprocessor again (much less one with an annoying paperclip :) ), but i need to have it to make all Icontec-norm compliant. Those norms really fit the philosophy of lyx (titles always at the same distance, margins always the same, etc., so it should be a great help to not need to fix those manually like in a wordprocessor), so it should be possible. Is there anything like that or do i need to turn into a TeX/LaTeX master to do it? --------------------------------------- Microsoft: Writing viruses has never been easier!
