I am afraid this is not possible, since the svmono class does not contain
one document type, but several kinds of documents, which, when put together,
should make a book. After dozens of different attempts, it seems to me that
the first problem is that LyX provides templates for some of the svmono
class documents, but not all of them. One of the error messages that I get
is:
Could not load included file
...path...\svmono_referenc.lyx
and
Could not load included file
...path...\svmono_solutions.lyx
So, it seems that these files are needed by the other LyX templates for
svmono files, but LyX does not provide the templates for them, so that I am
not able to create these files with LyX.
If, instead, I import the book.tex template directly from the Springer
svmono class (without making use of LyX templates), and try to view it
in pdf format, I get other errors:
"Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined"
Description:
"...phil-DOI} Suleiman, Camelia, Daniel C. O’
Connell,
You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText
or \DeclareInputMath before using this key."
This seems to indicate that the files with references are read this time,
but cannot be parsed by LyX.
I have to admit that I am beginning to doubt in the supposed advantages of
LaTeX and LyX that are so much advertised. So far I cannot view even a single
document written by the authors of LyX !
