There were several issues:
1. All brackets that belong to native LaTeX commands need to be put in ERT
(else, LyX outputs "[" protected as "{[}"). This concerns the two commands
at the end of the main document
2. The \markboth at the end of the main document needs to go on a new line.
Else, it is partially commented out due to the comment on the previous line
3. Likewise, the \begin{index} in the subdocument needs to go on is own
line (same reason).
Corrected files attached. These compile for me.

Cross-posting on devel and
Hi There is recently a lot of cross-posting happening on lyx-devel and lyx-users which I think is a bit irritating and makes following discussions difficult (luckily, and this includes myself, most responders to cross-posted threads ignore that one should not cross-post and discussions are complete on both lists...). Nevertheless, I would like to know what the policy about cross-posting is. If cross-posting is OK, the merging of the two mailing lists should be considered, which might be a good idea in a relatively low traffic mailing list? The other option would be to discourage cross-posting, possibly even blocking mails to lyx-devel which are also posted to lyx-users? I am not a list administrator and I don't want to start a big discussion, so if nobody else objects, the status quo can be kept, Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M.

Re: Fwd: [LYX] Trouble using the LNCS class/style
Dear Jürgen, thanks for having devoted some time to it and for having helped cast some light on it. Even if the document yields no errors now, I am still getting "No Authors Given" "No Institute Given" in the rendered PDF. Is there anything else to be fixed?

Re: Fwd: [LYX] Trouble using the LNCS class/style
Dear Jürgen, thanks. I had to delete the Email: field to make it work properly. Otherwise, the actual email was displayed in an additional blank page. It seems to me that it may be related to the paragraph styles created when the import is done, such as the Running Title or the Author Running.

But as soon as a lot of comments are in the source, things get nontrivial (for the importer). Jürgen
Re: [Feature Request] python binding
This might work!! Thanks for the suggestions, I will try it extensively and I will comments my experiences afterwards. It seems it also renders the graphic inside LyX itself! That's what I was talking about.

I agree that this is annoying. I wonder if it is best in these cases to continue cross-posting or if, e.g. the lyx-devel list is the correct place to only state "I'm moving this to lyx-devel" as a reply to lyx-users and then reply to the lyx-devel list only in a separate reply. > Nevertheless, I would like to know what the policy about cross-posting > is.

You got me thinking though... what about automatic blocking of the email entirely? With an automated response such as "cross-posting is discouraged for the following reasons... please pick the appropriate list". > I am not a list administrator and I don't want to start a big > discussion, so if nobody else objects, the status quo can be kept, Perhaps the first step is to put this in the list netiquette: http://www.lyx.org/MailingLists#toc7 Scott
