Hi. I am currently using the document class "article (AMS)" which provides a list of styles such as Theorem, Proof, Definition, Claim, etc. How could
I similarly create a section/style for "Assumption #.#"?

I tried googling this without much success. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks so much,
Ken


1. Go to <wherever LyX lives>/Resources/layouts and copy the file amsmaths.inc. Park the copy in <your home>/.lyx/layouts (I think, maybe) if you're a Linux user or C:\Documents and Settings\<your id> \Application Data\LyX1.4.x\layouts if you're a Windows user (unless, of course, you're using 1.5.0svn). If you're a Mac user, hit the funny looking key and Steve Jobs will stop by to do it for you. ;-)
That could work, but if you want to play it safe, you can put it in

<your home>/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.5/layouts/

(where LyX-1.5 of course is LyX-1.4 if you run LyX 1.4, etc)

2. Edit the new copy of amsmaths.inc in a text editor. Add the following at the bottom:
Style Assumption
        CopyStyle             Theorem
        LatexName             assumption
        LabelString           "Assumption @[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
        Preamble
          \theoremstyle{plain}
          \newtheorem{assumption}[thm]{Assumption}
        EndPreamble
End


3.  Cross your fingers (toes too if you're flexible) and start LyX.

HTH,
Paul
