Customizing article with page breaks
Hello, Fresh new user of LyX for a week now, I have been reading the documentation ever since to try and be as at ease as possible with this great tool. One thing I didn't find how to do is this : I am using the article layout, which is as close as possible from the layout I want (I am currently writing an internship report). The only problem is that I want page breaks after the title page, the ToC page and before every new section. I could use the report layout but it is more different of what I'm looking for (I don't need the parts and chapters, for isntance). I know I can insert a newpage with the LaTeX command \newpage, that I've been using so far, but I'd rather customize a layout so these break pages were automatic (what is the point of using LyX otherwise ?). I navigated among the .layout and .inc files, trying to find a property to change, but I couldn't. I also heard about package inclusion but I didnt' find any matching my needs. I would truly appreciate any help. Thanks, Paul Morin LyX version : 1.5.5 OS : Ubuntu 8.04 (kernel 2.6.24-16-generic), with Gnome

You could also try the koma-script article class, which is very customizable. Thanks for the detailed answer, it helps ! Can you tell me which files are related to the article koma script, I didn't find them in the /usr/share/lyx/layouts directory... This is scrartcl.layout, but you'll want to look at the koma-script documentation, which is in scrguien.pdf. Try locate scrguien.pdf at a shell prompt, or use whatever file finder thingy you have available. Or here: http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf These kinds of changes all go into the preamble. LyX won't help you once you're down to this level of customization. I'll look into it and hopefully find what I need. Thanks for the time and help. Paul Morin

Customizing "article" with page breaks
