The manpage.lyx is the original lyx file. I exported it to linuxdoc, that gave as result manpage.sgml. From this file I have used sgml2txt that comes with sgmltools 1 to convert it to manpage.man > > > Questions. > > > > > > 2) What template should I be using.

You should see it as: SGML (Linuxdoc manpage) that should show up earlier into the class options (the part that we don't see in the image yout sent). If you don't see it that means that you don't have sgmltools v1 installed. > How do I get it to show up in the choices for Class? > > > > 5) How does one generate a template file? > > > > That is a lyx file with some things from the preamble cutted. > > Where does one put the templates?
