ERT is not working

2016-01-11 Thread Sajjad 
Hello forum,

I have managed to import a custom .cls file into the lyx .layout file and
things have been working fine so far. I have been inserting the necessary
parameter through class options of the lyx interface and ERT code. Now I am
stuck with the following issue. I am trying to generate a page for notation
of abbreviation. The custom class has an example for this and if I directly
copy it into my structure it works file.  The example as follows:

//
\begin{notation}% Passing the option "old" to the notation environment will
redefine the notationtabular environment so that it produces an old style
LaTeX tabular instead of a ctable.sty style tabular.
  \centering

  \begin{notationtabular}{Förkortningar}{Förkortning}{Betydelse}
\abbrARMA\index{ARMA@\abbrARMA!abbreviation} & Auto-regressive moving
average \\
\abbrPID\index{PID@\abbrPID!abbreviation} & Proportional, integral,
differential (regulator) \\
  \end{notationtabular}
\end{notation}



//


In my case I made the changes as follows , but it does not work :

///
\begin{notation}% Passing the option "old" to the notation environment will
redefine the notationtabular environment so that it produces an old style
LaTeX tabular instead of a ctable.sty style tabular.
  \centering
  \begin{notationtabular}{Terminology}{Abbreviation}{Signifies}
\abbrAM\index{AM@\abbrAM!abbreviation} & Additive manufacturing \\
  \end{notationtabular}
\end{notation}

///


I could not find the mistake I am making here. The ERT code that is
inserted is:


//
\selectlanguage{english}
\makeFrontPage
\frontmatter
\maketitle
\makeLibraryPage{\input{engelsk-sammanfattning}}
\begin{abstract}[english]
\input{engelsk-sammanfattning}
\end{abstract}
\include{tack}
\tableofcontents{}
\include{notation}
\mainmatter
/


when i run pdflatex I get the following information at the console:

//
[7]) [8] (./notation.tex
(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/kpfonts/t1jkp.fd)
! Undefined control sequence.
 \abbrAM

l.4 \abbrAM
   \index{AM@\abbrAM!abbreviation} & Additive manufacturing \\
///

The pdf is generated though, but the notation page does not show AM, only
the elaboration is shown.


Some hint is urgently needed.


Thanks

Without the time to go into detail about your example, a couple of things to
try:

* if you have a LaTeX file that works and a LyX file that does not, export
  the LyX file to LaTeX (make sure not to overwrite your working example)
  and watch for differences.
  
  Alternatively, open the source panel (View>Source), set "complete
  document" and compare this with the working LaTeX example.
  
* Adapting LaTeX code tips or examples to LyX, remember that some LaTeX
  code belongs to the document preamble (before \begin{document}).  
  In LyX this must go to the user preamble (Document>Settings>LaTeX
  preamble).
  
* Some options can be given to LyX loaded packages via the various
  Document>Settings, however, there are cases where a construct cannot be
  reproduced in a LyX document (sometimes this can be solved via a special
  layout).
