I´m using the "book (koma-script)"-style and the fancyhead-package to create nice headers and footers (have a look at http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~hfst/tex/fancyhdr/ for further information). For the bibliography I´m using Sixpacks bibtex features. Though you can organize your literature very easily and intuitive. Importing from Windows-Endnote-data is also possible (http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg12031.html).
This should fit the needs of german universities. Andi ---- I am looking for lyx layout, so that students can use Lyx to write there 'Diplomarbeit' (thesis). The CU-Thesis package's layout of title page etc. isn't in a form that is suitable at German Universities. Does anybody have any layout or any preambel settings for an existing layout?
