 Hi Tom,
not clear to me what you are looking for: a tutorial or a template.
If it's the latter then you should try Andre Miede's excellent and very
comprehensive classicthesis-LyX-v4.x. Visit Miede's website and load it down.
Though it is a bit complex and therefor perhaps not too easy to use for the
less experienced user.
Good luck!

Previewing SVG text in LyX

[Will Furnass]

Any text in SVG images is rendered within LyX (2.1.3) as a opaque black
rectangle.  Is there any way of configuring the previewing of SVGs so that
contained text is readable within LyX?  I could convert all text in my SVGs
to paths to make them easier to render but I'd rather not as this would
make the images more difficult to edit.

I'm not sure if the following is relevant but in the prefs under File
Handling - Converters I have the following for SVG - PNG and SVG - PDF:

inkscape --without-gui --file=$$i --export-png=$$o
inkscape --file=$$i --export-area-drawing --without-gui --export-pdf=$$o

Regards,

Will

This should work from within LyX. Simply select the math inset and
copy it. Then you should get the LaTeX code on the clipboard (minus
the $$ signs).

 If this is not possible without
 modification to the source code of LyX, at least I would like to know
 how to call an arbitrary external script myscript with math-extern. I
 already tried adding the path of myscript to the PATH prefix of LyX
 and also tried putting it in ~/.lyx/scripts. I also used lyx -dbg gui
 and it complained that there is no converter called myscript.

 Thank you!

It works now. Last time I checked (a few months ago) it did not.

colored reference numbers in citations

[Michael Berger]

Dear Friends of LyX,
In PDF I needed green colored reference numbers in citations but at the 
same time I did not want a red colored TOC. All the other references and 
backreferences could have printed their own predefined color.

I eventually found out how to achieve this.

Document Settings  PDF Properties
 General: Activate Hyperref Support; Additional options *linktoc=none*
 Hyperlinks: Activate Color Links, Backreferences 'Page'
 Bookmarks: Level 3 (I use section, subsection and subsubsection)

So, basically the key lies in the option *linktoc=none*
Thanks and regards
