Re: insert custom layout

[Sajjad]

It seems very obvious that i have get down more on the basics of LaTeX.
 Even though i managed so far with LyX, without getting too much on LaTeX,
it will not take me any further.


Some of the options can be set by editing the from the LyX interface and
some of hem through inserting TEX code.

And i find that hard to decide which one is the better option to go with .

When a feature is already implemented in LyX, you should use it over TeX 
code. For example, a \clearpage command can be put in TeX code, but it 
is neater to use LyX's Import  Formatting  Clear Page.


When a feature is not already supported by LyX, it could be implemented. 
LyX can be customized in many ways, which makes it quite powerful. To 
list those options from the top of my head:


file formats and converters:
for inserting graphics from your favorite editor and what not.

layouts:
for new types of documents (closely linked to latex document classes)

modules:
for simple functionality not necessarily tied to a document type 
(closely related to latex packages)


Mind you, editing a custom layout or module is something of an advanced 
feature. It's not overly difficult in simple cases, but it sure can get 
complicated, and relies on knowledge of LyX's syntax and of LaTeX in 
many cases. When done properly, one can happily write text inside LyX 
and not worry about programming your document so that it produces 
output. But the starting point for new features will often be tried out 
first in TeX code boxes, and then moved to a module or layout. And 
sometimes one can be very happy with TeX code in the document and in the 
preamble, as long as it works.


So whatever works for you, I guess. If you have specific issues we'll be 
happy to help.

Re: insert custom layout

[Sajjad]

Hello all,

I have attached the liuthesis.layout and the liuhesis.cls for your
reference.

Now i can choose the liuthesis layout from the Documents-Settings-Document
class option.

then i choose the Title Environment and set the title of the thesis work and
then i select the author and put my name there.


When i try to see a preview it gives me several LaTeX error. They are :


Undefined Control sequence

.ding division definition \the...@divtag.}

 The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.


AND


LaTeX Error: Option clash for package inputenc.



\setcounter

{secnumdepth}{3}

The package inputenc has already been loaded with options:

[latin1]

There has now been an attempt to load it with options

[latin9]

Adding the global options:

latin1,latin9

to your \documentclass declaration may fix this.

Try typing return to proceed.




Any hint on that ?


I have several LateX file inside that package folder. Do i have to edit any
one of them to get it functional?

Sajjad

 If it not then , i did copy the contents of book.layout and put it into

 Yes. Do this:


  If that is what you did, I don't know what the matter is. If you start LyX
 from a console you might get useful information for debugging.



 You probably have an error somewhere in the layout file.

This is because liuthesis requires a specific input encoding. Instruct LyX to
obey this by going to:

Document  Settings  Language

and set the Encoding to Other: Western European (ISO 8859-1)

 I have several LateX file inside that package folder. Do i have to edit any
one of them to get it functional?

In principle, no, you don't have to edit any tex file. You should consult
liuthesis.pdf; it seems to give a good description of your LaTeX class.  Some
non-standard commands, such as \thesisDate, can be inputed in LyX inside a TeX
box (Insert  TeX Code).

If you feel adventurous, you can modify your layout file to make LyX understand
these commands without the use of TeX Code.  For that, see LyX's Help 
Customization.  Eventually, if you implement all the features of the TeX class
into the LyX layout, you might want to submit your layout file for inclusion
with the liuthesis.zip distribution.

By the way, there is a problem here because liuthesis redefines \title
to take 2 arguments:

You must always provide both a Swedish (first argument) and an English
title (second argument), \title{Svensk titel}{English Title}.

but LyX will output \title{YOUR TITLE} no matter what (i.e., only 1 argument).

A workaround is to write your Swedish title like usual and then, at the end
of the line, insert a TeX box and write }{English title inside it (with the
braces).

This is a hack, but I am not sure how you would do this elegantly in LyX.

Good luck!

Re: insert custom layout

[Sajjad]

Hello all,

I have attached the liuthesis.layout and the liuhesis.cls for your
reference.

Now i can choose the liuthesis layout from the Documents-Settings-Document
class option.

then i choose the Title Environment and set the title of the thesis work and
then i select the author and put my name there.


When i try to see a preview it gives me several LaTeX error. They are :


Undefined Control sequence

.ding division definition \the...@divtag.}

 The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.


AND


LaTeX Error: Option clash for package inputenc.



\setcounter

The package inputenc has already been loaded with options:

There has now been an attempt to load it with options

Adding the global options:

Try typing return to proceed.

documentation, and the like, and have nothing to do with layout.


What you will need to be able to use liuthesis with LyX is a file 
liuthesis.layout. Since liuthesis is based upon book, you can get 
started simply by copying book.layout to liuthesis.layout and changing 
the second line to:

\DeclareLaTeXClass{liuthesis}
This will not give you access in LyX to the special constructs of 
liuthesis, but it will get you started. You should then be able to 
import the .tex files provided as examples.

Re: insert custom layout

[Sajjad]

Thanks rgcheck,


I have gone through  the manual of configuring Lyx and there they have
explained how to include custom .clas file.

I think  i followed the steps and i do see the 'liuthesis' in the Document
class option under Documents-Settings.
But When i check  liuthesis , the system hangs. So i think i need to
elaborate the steps that i have followed.


1. I created a directory called  /usr/local/texmf/latex/liuthesis and
unzipped the file under the liuthesis folder. Now the folder 'liuthesis'
contains more subdirectories.

2. Opened the texmf.cnf file and edited the TEXMFLOCAL with  the path
specified in step 1.

3. Executed texhash and it created a ls-R.

4. From LyX i executed the Reconfigure command.

5. created a liuthesis.layout file and put in the directory where the LyX
installation put all  the layout files, so  that LyX can find it.

6. The liuthesis.layout file contain the following:

#% Do not delete this line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass{liuthesis}


7.  I ran Reconfigure again.

8 Restarted LyX and chose the liuthesis class from the layout option and the
program hangs.


Is there anything i missed? Where should i look into to fix this?

Sajjad

 Since liuthesis is a document class, it is provided as a .cls file,
 liuthesis.cls. The .tex files that are provided with it are examples,
 documentation, and the like, and have nothing to do with layout.

If that's all you have in there, this is not sufficient. As suggested, a 
good starting point for you would be to copy the book.layout file.


If that is what you did, I don't know what the matter is. If you start 
LyX from a console you might get useful information for debugging.
