The Document Classes listed are layouts that have been created for the various latex classes for representation of the classes styles in the LyX Gui. I started off trying to make a layout, then realised that since I only needed this for a very simple questionnaire that covered one page of A4, I decided just to use raw LaTeX, instead of wasting my time messing about with LyX.

Misplaced noalign error?
Hullo all,
I'm trying to insert a page break in a document, as a section heading
keeps getting orphaned on the previous page, which I don't want.
However, LyX keeps complaining about a Misplaced \noalign for the
page break. Thoughts? If there's another way to keep the section
heading with the following CV list items, that'd work too... I'm
using the moderncv class, and the source code in question is...
---
\cvlanguage{Miscellaneous}{}{Ipsum dolor}
\newpage{}
\section{Platforms and networks}
\cvlistitem{Mac OS X}
---
TIA!

Apologies if you already looked there, or if it doesn't help.
After lots of trail error, I've found a workround for the problem.
Basically, there are some ERT {}{} that were marked as Optional in
the template - turns out they weren't optional! So I put in a few ERT
{}{}{} where needed, LyX then rendered the document fine.
Rather irksome, now, I've got lots of ERTs, all over the place but
hey, it works fine now and I have a CV! :P
As for the list items, they don't look too bad in the overall context,
so I think it's how it's meant to look...
Thanks anyway!

It's a bit irksome, as I'd have thought LyX was supposed to make this
a bit easier - i.e. write the document, applying the appropriate
markup voila, it 'renders' without errors! Instead, I keep getting
errors all the time *sighs*
