Some of the macros defined in the manual has no corresponding options defined in the LyX manual. What to do then? That depends upon the command. Ones like \subject are going to be treated as paragraphs. So: Style Subject LatexType command LatexName subject # this tells LyX that it goes into Front Matter InTitle 1 End Very basic, with no special formatting, but it will work. The only one of the Front Matter commands you can't do this way is \thesisDate, because LyX doesn't yet do multi-argument commands. There will be support for that in 2.0, however. So, for now, you'd have to enter that as ERT. Any hint on how to do you find /subject to be treated as a Style? In the manual it specifies that it takes only one argument. Isn't that just above? One argument is easy. rh

Apparently we need quotes around the whole thing: ClassOptions Other "ePress,itn,[english|swedish]" End Seems wrong, but it works. rh

The rest of the other options did not show up anywhere. Did they get effected or ignored. I check the manual and it says that several Other options can be specified with comma separation.

The new class that i am trying to incorporate into LyX layout is accompanied by a description of the class file. I did some configuration so that get the liuthesis.layout in Document->settings->Document class option combox box. I believe that it is not enough to get started with the writing yet. And i am kind of confused how to make the related configuration in the layout file. Lets take an example: 1. In the accompanied manual, it specifies number of options that i can set. One of the options is "Output format". The possible values for this option are: - print. - ePress. - pdfRelease. - draft. How to specifiy this option in the layout file. I have checked the customization chapter for LyX. Should it go under the section "ClassOptions" section or "AddToPreamble" ? There are several other Macros in the accompanied pdf file that must be configured in the layout file. During the previous post, one Julien showed me some hint ; like inputting the department name of the thesis that i am writing for and it was specified in the class options from LyX Documents Settings menu. He suggested this based on his extensive experience with LyX. Now if i have to specify the department name in the liuthesis.layout file it should have went into "ClassOptions" section and inside "Other" subsection. Shouldn't it? I need some suggestion make this mapping between the manual that i have now and .layout file that i have to edit. Some of the macros defined in the manual has no corresponding options defined in the LyX manual. What to do then? Regards Sajjad Hi, I don't have much time at the moment to help with the layout, but if I remember correctly you had a basic layout file to get started, no? It would be useful to share it if you do have one, so that other users can help enhance it. In any case, I should say that not having the layout file does not prevent you from starting to use LyX to write your thesis. Just use a layout such as book or report and use the standard markups like chapter, section, figures, theorems, etc. These are standard markups and will be understood when you change your layout (once you have a working liuthesis.layout). On the other hand, I would advise not to fill the frontmatter yet since this is where liuthesis.cls uses a lot of custom commands. Cheers, Julien

If you want one of these options set by default, but for the user to be able to override it, then add it ClassOptions, e.g.: Class Options Other ePress End These will turn up on the Document Class pane of Document>Settings.

Some of the macros defined in the manual has no corresponding options defined in the LyX manual. What to do then? That depends upon the command.

Then I'd do: TitleLatexName makeFrontPage so LyX will issue \makeFrontPage to create the title page, etc. The theorem, etc, environments can probably be copied over from LyX's own theorems.inc.
