Hi all, In the 7 years I've used LyX, every book had its own layout, and every single time, I spent hours tweaking around trying to get my layout visible to the document so that I could use my specialized document class.
What I typically do is: 1) Make the layout file 2) ln -s /bookdir/mybook.layout /home/slitt/.lyx/layouts/mybook.layout 3) Doublecheck the line that says # \DeclareLaTeXClass[book]{mybook}, make sure it matches the filenames. 4) lyx 5) tools->reconfigure 6) exit lyx 7) lyx mybook.lyx It never shows document class mybook, until I turkey around for hours to get it to work. We need documentation on exactly what to do, and how to troubleshoot layouts/document classes. SteveT Steve Litt Recession Relief Package http://www.recession-relief.US
