Hi, I have developed a LaTeX thesis class for UBC and have received questions about how to use it with LyX. As I know very little about LyX, I am not sure how to proceed.
All of the LaTeX class files and templates can be found below: http://alum.mit.edu/www/mforbes/projects/ubcthesis/ I am trying to make the ubcthesis.cls compliant with UBC standards, and so have provided a sample file ubcsample.tex that contains many comments about the ordering of content, formatting issues etc. as required by the university. These must be presented to users: I assume that this would be done through a "template" for LyX users. What is the best way to make this class available to LyX users? The ubcthesis.cls is a modification of the standard book.cls. I have tried making a simple ubcthesis.layout file: ----- #% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this # \DeclareLaTeXClass[ubcthesis]{University of British Columbia Theses} # Read the definitions from book.layout Input book.layout ----- It seems to work, but importing the ubcsample.tex renders most of the comments in an extremely usless format. Many of the comments are about ways of doing things in LaTeX or required stuff, and the resulting file seems almost useless for someone starting a thesis in LyX. (I think it would be easier for them to use LaTeX!) Any suggestions on how to best make this class available to LyX users? Thanks, Michael.
