Hi Luis,

This may not be exactly the answer you are looking for :-)

IMHO the front matter (the stuff that is rendered by \maketitle) is  
the
most difficult part to get right into a LyX layout, especially with  
paper

styles. Every paper style uses different concepts on how authors,
institutions, multiple authors per institution, authors with multiple
institutions,  thanks-titlenotes, and so on have to be specified.  
So even
with the well-designed paper layout files that ship with LyX (LNCS,  
IEEE,
...) I usually end up using ERT in the front matter to get what I  
need.


So if you are not going to write dozens of articles using that  
style, I
would just not bother in getting everything right into the layout  
and use

ERT in the paper to specify the front matter.

 LyX thinks this is normal content, not something for before \maketitle. You
 need to put this in some kind of TitleERT environment, as mentioned before.

 rh


I edited the .layout file and added the statement:

Style TitleERT
  InTitle 1
End

then I used the TitleERT in a big ERT before the text. It almost worked,
except for some differences (at the e-mail font for example). Could that be
the fact that the .tex file in example uses another packages, like:

 \documentclass[12pt]{article}

 \usepackage{graphicx,url}

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

I tried to add this at the preamble in the .layout file, but got an error.

 I guess this is my case. I did a big ERT before the text (as mentioned

works.
