I have been developing my class file for some time. It is more recently that I decided to try and start using LyX. When I first started using LaTeX, the hacking made the boring job of writing reports more fun. Now I am more inclined to want to just do the report, so I need to streamline the process, but there is no way I could cope with going back to Word. :-) Anyhow, since I can't be bothered to wait for version 2.0, I spent a quick half hour redoing my class file. It looks like I am 95% there, so will be able to start work on my LyX layout soon. Thanks for the help. -- Philip Stubbs

For now, you should put these commands in the document preamble. JMarc
\title before \begin{document}
Hi, I have developed my own LaTeX class file, based on the article class. It has been developed over some time, but is now working just how I like. My documents start as follows \documentclass[draft,approved]{danrep} \title{This is a test report title that I will make quite long.} \repnum{10-00} \author{Philip Stubbs} \date{2010-01-12} \begin{document} \section{Introduction} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse justo nisi, sagittis pharetra sagittis id, I now would like to go the next step, and leave vim and use LyX as my editor. I started looking at the *.layout files to see what I need to do. What I cant seem to work out is how to place the \title etc before the \begin{document} Any suggestions would be welcome. I don't really want to start chopping about the class file at this stage. -- Philip Stubbs
