That's fine, and if it weren't for the fact that you wanted to use a  
specialized LaTeX class, you'd probably be sailing along. But you've  
jumped right into the deep end.



What I could do from what you said was:

1. to import the .sty, .cls.. LyX now recognizes the

Good.


2. By compiling you mean import the main TEX file  
(ufsampleETD.tex)?


By compiling, I mean processing your document to produce output.  
You can do this to the LaTeX document itself. If you try to do it to  
chapter1.tex, you will get errors.



When I import the ufsampleETD.tex, I am getting not many ERTs.  
Most of them are %comments. The commands that LyX appears to not  
recognize are:

\makecopyright,
\phantomsection,
\addtocontents{TOC} , \protect, \addvspace{10pt} {CHAPTER} {\ 
\protect} (this last one in order to add the word CHAPTER to the  
table of contents)


I cannot generate an output, because of the following errors:

I suspect this is because of various packages that are being loaded

terminal? Sorry about this, I have zero experience with programming.



Yes, run it in a terminal. To do the conversion, open a terminal and  
get yourself to whatever directory contains the thesis template.  
Let's say that's /users/you/template. Then you'll do:

# cd /users/you/template
# for i in *tex; do tex2lyx -c ufthesis $i; done
And the LyX files will be in that directory now.

Thanks again for the help. Here is my progress:

1. I imported *all* the .tex files into .lyx files. I am still  
getting the errors when trying to compile the main file  
ufsampleETD.lyx file.


2. the bash on Mac does not recognize the tex2lyx. I reinstalled  
the latest version (1.6.2) twice, and I still cannot get the tex2lyx  
to work. If I try to to do an import manually (LyX  Import (plain  
Tex) ) I get the same error, saying that LyX could not access  
tex2lyx. This does NOThappen in a Windows environment.


I am attaching a zipped version of the folder containing the lyx,  
tex and companion files.

 Hello rh,

 I am attaching the whole file now. It is a thesis template, that I want to
 import to LyX. Any help is appreciated.



 You need to import *all* the TeX files and compile it from the ufsampleETD
 file. It will not be possible to compile the individual chapters, because
 they do not contain the necessary includes for compilation. They are
 includes for the main document.

 To do the import, you will need a layout file for the ufthesis class. I've
 attached a trivial modification of the report layout, as ufthesis is based
 upon report. But you'll probably get a lot of ERT with this, so you may want
 to modify it to take advantage of ufthesis-specific stuff. Documentation on
 that is in chapter 6 of the Customization manual.

 Put this layout file in your local layout directory and reconfigure LyX
 before doing anything else. You'll also want to put all the .sty and .cls
 packages you don't already have into your local TeX tree, so that LyX can
 find them. I'd guess that means ufenumerate.sty and ufthesis.cls, and maybe
 a couple more. If you're on Linux or something similar---i.e., if you have
 bash---then you can use this:
   for i in Latex\ Template/*.sty; do
   j=`basename $i`;
   if kpsewhich $j  /dev/null; then
   echo $j found;
   else echo $j not found;
   fi;
   done
 run from the directory above the Latex Template directory, to find out
 which you have and which you don't. Otherwise, you'll have to check them by
 hand.

 You use this script:
   for i in *tex; do tex2lyx -c ufthesis $i; done
 from an appropriate directory to do all the conversions in one go.

OK, I guess I should mention the fact that I started using LyX two weeks
ago, and that I have no programming background. Although I am very willing
to do this.
What I could do from what you said was:

2. By compiling you mean import the main TEX file (ufsampleETD.tex)?
When I import the ufsampleETD.tex, I am getting not many ERTs. Most of

 You need to import *all* the TeX files and compile it from the ufsampleETD
 file. It will not be possible to compile the individual chapters, because
 they do not contain the necessary includes for compilation. They are
 includes for the main document.

 To do the import, you will need a layout file for the ufthesis class. I've
 attached a trivial modification of the report layout, as ufthesis is based
 upon report. But you'll probably get a lot of ERT with this, so you may want
 to modify it to take advantage of ufthesis-specific stuff. Documentation on
 that is in chapter 6 of the Customization manual.

 Put this layout file in your local layout directory and reconfigure LyX
 before doing anything else. You'll also want to put all the .sty and .cls
 packages you don't already have into your local TeX tree, so that LyX can
 find them. I'd guess that means ufenumerate.sty and ufthesis.cls, and maybe
 a couple more. If you're on Linux or something similar---i.e., if you have
 bash---then you can use this:
   for i in Latex\ Template/*.sty; do
   j=`basename $i`;
   if kpsewhich $j  /dev/null; then
   echo $j found;
   else echo $j not found;
   fi;
   done
 run from the directory above the Latex Template directory, to find out
 which you have and which you don't. Otherwise, you'll have to check them by
 hand.

 You use this script:
   for i in *tex; do tex2lyx -c ufthesis $i; done
 from an appropriate directory to do all the conversions in one go.

OK, I guess I should mention the fact that I started using LyX two weeks
ago, and that I have no programming background. Although I am very willing
to do this.
What I could do from what you said was:

1. to import the .sty, .cls.. LyX now recognizes the ufthesis.layout ! =)
