Just one warning or one for each? I think a total of one is best, and
say in the warning that there may be others.
For example, compile templates/aa.lyx and you will see the following:
output_latex.cpp (1195): Error in latexParagraphs: You are using a
layout ("Title") intended for the title, after using non-title layouts.
output_latex.cpp (1195): Error in latexParagraphs: You are using a
layout ("Subtitle") intended for the title, after using non-title
layouts.
output_latex.cpp (1195): Error in latexParagraphs: You are using a
layout ("Author") intended for the title, after using non-title layouts.
output_latex.cpp (1195): Error in latexParagraphs: You are using a
layout ("Address") intended for the title, after using non-title
layouts.
output_latex.cpp (1195): Error in latexParagraphs: You are using a
layout ("Offprint") intended for the title, after using non-title
layouts.
output_latex.cpp (1195): Error in latexParagraphs: You are using a
layout ("Date") intended for the title, after using non-title layouts.
output_latex.cpp (1195): Error in latexParagraphs: You are using a
layout ("Abstract (structured)") intended for the title, after using
non-title layouts.
output_latex.cpp (1195): Error in latexParagraphs: You are using a
layout ("Keywords") intended for the title, after using non-title
layouts.
In this case the issue is particularly bad because there is a duplicate
title layout so the real title is never shown. Subtitle and Author also
are not shown. I brought the issue up about duplicate layouts here:
