Hello Lyx users. I'd like to format a paper I wrote in Lyx for an ASME conference publication. The ASME provides a latex template, so I'm trying to use that template file in Lyx using Mac OSX 10.5 and Lyx version 1.6.5 with TexLive2009. So far I have copied the provided asme2e.bib, asme2e.cls, and asme2e.bst files to Library/texmf/tex/latex/asme in my local users home directory. I then ran a texhash from the admin account to include the latex file. So, my question is, it appears Lyx now requires a layout file. Unfortunately, I have no experience writing these, and the asme2e.cls file doesn't appear to have a base class, which makes this process difficult from what I can tell reading part 5 of the Lyx Customization manual. So, does anyone have an existing asme2e.layout file or can you point me to someone that does... or am I misunderstanding the apparent difficulty of writing a layout file from scratch? The relevant files for the template can be found here: http://iel.ucdavis.edu/code/ASME/conf-1.7b.html
thank you very much for any potential advice you could give, Zack Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory University of California at Berkeley
