Hi
I am working with LYX for the first time and am looking for a very nice
looking LYX report template for my assignments af the Engineering college of
Copenhagen. It is not a thesis template i am looking for but rather
something that would give room for the following content:
Synopsis
1 Introduction
2 Requirement specification
3 Design
4 Theory
5 Analysis
6 Simulations
7 Test
8 Conclusion
9 Appendix
I have been looking for this template myself but without result. I tried to
search for: "technical report lyx template" etc.
This seems straightforward enough. If this really is all, then perhaps
no special template is necessary. Try the document class "report" or
perhaps "report (KOMA-script)".
The report classes start each chapter on a new page. If that isn't what
you want, use the "article" class. It doesn't use chapters, only sections.
If you write a lot of these reports, make your own template that
contains these headings (and whatever else is common to all your reports.)
Or is there some sort of problem, like strict layout requirements?
I am studying to Electronics engineering and am looking forward to produce
better looking reports. Often i am using a lot of figures and graphs.
LyX should handle figures and graphs fine, although you will need to
make them with other software. Engineering tend to need some math too,
which LyX do very well.
I would be very greatfull for a link or an attachment of such an template.
What do you expect from such a template? If it is just some headings so
the document is ready to "fill in", just make it yourself. It should
take 5min if you know LyX. If you don't, it might takes longer but some
practice is needed to get to know LyX.
