OK, I guess I should mention the fact that I started using LyX two weeks
ago, and that I have no programming background. Although I am very willing
to do this.
What I could do from what you said was:
1. to import the .sty, .cls.. LyX now recognizes the "ufthesis.layout" ! =)
2. By "compiling" you mean import the main TEX file (ufsampleETD.tex"")?
When I import the "ufsampleETD.tex", I am getting not many ERTs. Most of
them are "%comments". The commands that LyX appears to not recognize are:
\makecopyright,
\phantomsection,
\addtocontents{TOC} , \protect, \addvspace{10pt} {CHAPTER} {\\protect} (this
last one in order to add the word CHAPTER to the table of contents)
I cannot generate an output, because of the following errors:
LaTeX Error: Option clash for package graphicx;

The package graphicx has already been loaded with options:

There has now been an attempt to load it with options

Adding the global options:
,dvipdfm
to your \documentclass declaration may fix this.

You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText

If explained in more detail, I can try to do the "bash part".( I am on a
Mac, OS X 10.5). Are you talking about running that code in a terminal?
Sorry about this, I have zero experience with programming.
Thank you,
