Re: Problems importing Tex file
The Fine Manual. It is a common TLA in many mailing lists. OK, and what is a TLA? Three Letter Acronym! I suppose that _that_ is the detail that was not clear to me. I did not know that I need to have LaTeX packages installed in my LaTeX distribution. I'm still not sure what that _means_, but I have enough keywords to google on! A LaTeX distribution is the same as a Linux distribution, but instead of programs like a Linux distro it is a compound of packages. I see. Yes.

When I try to run tex2lyx on the file manually I get this error: $ tex2lyx Olga_Lavrenteva.tex Creating file [snip_path]/Olga_Lavrenteva.lyx Ignoring options 'dvips' of package color. Error: Could not find layout file for textclass svjour3. However, in the same directory there exists svjour3.cls, svjour.clo, and template.txt, and I even put a copy of those files in ~/.lyx/layouts as per the tex2lyx manpage. What am I doing wrong?

These files are LaTeX files, so they must be installed to your LaTeX distribution. So copy them to an appropriate folder to your LaTeX distribution usually under ~\tex\latex\svjour and then use either - the command line command texhash when your are using TeXLive under Lunix/Mac or - refresh the file name database in MiKTeX's settings program. Finally restart LyX and reconfigure it. regards Uwe

I suppose that I do not understand the difference between tex and latex. Wikipedia says that tex is a typesetting system and that latex is a markup language for it. So .tex files are actually latex markup, no (like an HTML file is SGML markup, no)? There is a lot of material to cover, is there any one concise resource for getting up to speed quickly?

I suppose that I do not understand the difference between tex and latex. But you don't need to know that. All you have to know is that LyX is a frontend to LaTeX, therefore it uses the LaTeX-packages you have installed in your LaTeX distribution. Installing a LaTeX-package is easy when you use the package manager of your LaTeX distribution. What distribution are your using, MiKTeX under Windows or TeXLive under Linux? In your case you only have to install the LaTeX-package svjour to your LaTeX-distribution, that's all for now. regards Uwe

Thanks, Uwe. I will go back to TFM as I'm not quite sure what I need to do here. What is TFM? Why are you unsure? The Fine Manual. It is a common TLA in many mailing lists. I suppose that I do not understand the difference between tex and latex. But you don't need to know that. All you have to know is that LyX is a frontend to LaTeX, therefore it uses the LaTeX-packages you have installed in your LaTeX distribution. I suppose that _that_ is the detail that was not clear to me. I did not know that I need to have LaTeX packages installed in my LaTeX distribution. I'm still not sure what that _means_, but I have enough keywords to google on! Installing a LaTeX-package is easy when you use the package manager of your LaTeX distribution. What distribution are your using, MiKTeX under Windows or TeXLive under Linux? As this is a Kubuntu system, should I assume that I am using TeXLive? In your case you only have to install the LaTeX-package svjour to your LaTeX-distribution, that's all for now. I see, thanks. I now know the what to do, I will google for the how to do.

How it works should be self-explanatory or have a look at its documentation. When svjour is not offered by the package manager, then do what I wrote in my initial mail.
