Hello LyX users,
I'm new to TeX, LaTeX, and LyX, but climbing fast. I'm trying to make
a standardized structured document format for my company. Right now,
I'm attempting to do this by making a custom LyX layout.
This layout is based on article.cls. As it happens, if I apply this
style to a line in LyX, the generated output in DVI is what I want.
However, in the GUI the preview is not. In the GUI I don't get the
prepended "Feature:" and the text is completely unformatted. How do I
make the preview in the GUI resemble the output?
Here's my Style entry in my layout file:
Style Feature
LatexType Command
LatexName planfeature
Preamble
\newcommand{\planfeature}[1]{ \section{Feature: #1} }
EndPreamble
End
For that matter, how does LyX know how to display \section{FooBar}
normally? Does it parse the class and determine the appearance or is
it predefined somewhere?
Look at the file stdsections.inc. If you do roughly what's done there, I
expect you will get the results you want.
On the subject of layout files and Style entries. Looking at the
layouts that come with LyX, there are a lot of options you can use.
Is any of that documented anywhere? Or is it all learn by example?
It's documented in the Customization manual, chapter 5, I think. See the
Help menu.
