Re: Inserting custom class file into lyx
Great ! This is where the confusion has to be resolved first. We have two
zip files - rtthesis.zip and rtthesis-exjobb.zip . After unzipping we get
two folders - rtthesis and rtthesisex. So far I have just copied all the
contents inside rtthesis folder inside the newly created folder rtthesis at
/usr/share/tex/latex/. It is implied that this is the main package
everything will be built upon.
Do I have to do the similar with rtthesisex as well ? I thought that the
contents inside the folder rtthesisex is nothing but an example to follow,
was not sure how come they will contribute to the creation of the .layout
file from the .cls file that is already found inside the rtthesis folder.
The contents of the rtthesis.layout is as follows:
/
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[rtthesis]{rtthesis}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc
/
I suspect that something more to be added here inside the .layout file so
that all the options will be reflected through the interface.
Thanks

It worked out eventually. Now I still have many options to enter and
you suggested to preamble . Is there any reference to it where I can
started with ?

Re: Inserting custom class file into lyx
It could have been great if I could have pull this through. I tried the
following preamble and it ended with the error :
///
\setupThesis{
author={Sajjadul Islam},
title={Laser Sintering},
type=msc,
department=itn
}
\usepackage{rtmsc-defs}
///
And The error I got is:
///
LaTeX Error: File `rtmsc.sty' not found.
//
Since you already got hold of the rtthesis class you will not find anything
inside the rtthesis folder named rtthesis.sty once you unzip the folder. I
am not sure where it is pointing to by rtmsc.sty.
But I do believe that we can pull this through together. Let me describe
how i managed to insert the LaTeX .cls file into the LyX interface and you
could both address the issue .
1. I believe that you already have the rtthesis.zip file. I unzipped it
into /usr/share/tex/latex/ , create a directory called rtthesis and copied
all the files inside the newly created directory.
2. Then I ran texhash command with the root priviledge.
3. I created a rtthesis.layout file inside ~/.lyx/ and ran from LyX
interface Tools->Reconfigure.
4. Restarted Lyx and I found the rtthesis showed up.
Since then I just got the class loading properly , but still stuck with the
issue of the inserting the options from the interface either through
preamble/TeX code. Before inserting as preamble , I also tried to insert
the above code directly into the LyX interface by inserting TeX code. But
it did not help .
Thanks

I tried but the issue prevails. I am still getting the same error
while trying for a pdf preview.
The .cls file came along with the a pdf file that narrates how to use
it and all the references are make to the LaTeX commands/notation which I
am not aware of. At the beginning of the document it, indeed mentions that
"You must decide on an input encoding from start, and select the
corresponding
class option from tabell B.12 on sida 30. You must also tell rtthesis
whether you
intend to use part sectioning or not, see tabell B.1. There are many
more class op-
tions, but they will be mentioned below where there is room for a more
detailed
discussion for the corresponding features."
How is it possible to insert all the options that are mentioned in the
documentation through LyX instead of LaTeX ?
Thanks

Re: Inserting custom class file into lyx
Why are you explicitly including the rtmsc-defs? A search on my system says
that rtmsc.sty is part of the rtthesis example file, while rtmsc-defs.sty and
rtmsc-defs-utf8.sty are part of the core rtthesis package. You might want to
copy all the files from rtthesisex to your rtthesis installed directory,
/usr/share/tex/latex/ and run texhash again.
What is inside your rtthesis.layout file?
