Dear Lyx gurus :)!
Gurus only? Or can non-gurus respond? :-)
I am required to create a lyx layout from scratch and myke it totally independent of other layouts. --------------------------------------- It's supposed to look like this in Lyx: ---------------------------------------
[snip]
---------------------------------------------------- where can I learn how to do this? I have just started using Lyx and Latex about a week ago.
Start by reading section 5.2 of Help > Customization. Then I would suggest looking at a couple of layout files, first something simple like the basic article class (article.layout) and then a thesis-type layout file. The layout files are located in a folder (cleverly named 'layouts') beneath the installation directory for LyX. If you're not sure where that is, try Help > About LyX and look for the "Library directory" path near the bottom. Layout files are plain text, so you can view them in your favorite text editor. Some of them import other files (.inc extension).
You will also need a LaTeX class for your new document type. If you don't have a custom LaTeX class, shop around for a standard class that supports the various types of environment you need.
