Hi to everyone, The subject explains the situation, I guess. To be more specific, I have this dissertation class, which perfectly compiles with different editors using the MikTeX 2.8 and 2.9 distributions. I was able to use the class file in LyX preparing a very simple layout file containing the following lines:
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[metu]{metu} # Input general definitions Input stdclass.inc However, I can neither produce any output (pdf or dvi) from the LyX document, nor export it back into plain LaTeX. When I try I get the following error: ! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}. The format <http://fbe.metu.edu.tr/sites/fbe.metu.edu.tr/files/New%20METU%20Thesis%20Template.rar>is publicly available, and the archive at the link includes 3 versions with sample .tex files, all of which end up with the same result. The problem seems to be with the class file, however since it works with the LaTeX compiler I cannot figure out where exactly. Any help would be appreciated, and since it is a public format may be benefited by several users. Thanks in advance, Sinan
