The University of Colorado's thesis class in Latex has a matching lyx layout file (one of the early lyx team members was a grad student in my department -- physics). I benefited greatly from this, since the mechanics of writing the actual manuscript and handling the bibliography were all handled beautifully by Lyx+pybliographic, along with a tiny custom script I wrote (a few lines of python) to retrieve bibtex records from the SPIRES database based on ArXiV.org numbers. It was really a joy of a system to use (and I was using lyx 1.1.something with Xforms, not today's beautiful QT-based 1.3.x :) Best, f

Thesis/Dissertation LyX Classes
Do you know of U. S. universities that have developed and made available (and strongly suggest or even require) LyX classes for thesis and dissertation writing/submitting/publishing, particularly in the natural sciences? Also, when I installed LyX, the APA (American Psychological Association) class shows as Unavailable: APA Style. Do you know when/where it will be or is available? TIA Jack
Re: Thesis/Dissertation LyX Classes
Jack, I could not make this work either. I got a little closer going to ftp://ftp.loria.fr/pub/ctan/biblio/bibtex/contrib/apacite/ and downloading the various components for apacite. After the standard drill (texhash, reconfigure, restart), the layout showed up but it did not seem to work very well. I am just learning this stuff, so take my input with a grain of salt, but it looks as though this really has not been properly constructed for LyX. Good luck. Jack Gill wrote: Do you know of U.
