Lyx Springer Nature template

jjanmaat · Post by **jjanmaat** » Thu Oct 14, 2021 3:48 pm

Hello,

Has anyone created a template for the updated Springer-Nature latex files?

The svjour3 files are unavailable.

The Springer template chokes with a 'undefined control sequence' error when encountering '\bibcommenthead'.

Help appreciated.

John.

Did you ever find a fix for this? I am experiencing the same problem.

Hello,

perhaps provide a link to the template that you are using.

Hello,

I am facing this issue as well. Springer has released a new version of their latex package https://www.springernature.com/gp/autho ... or-support

I am trying to create a new layout following the instructions that can be found at https://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/CreatingLayouts but I have not been succesful yet.

If any one has generated a template, could they share it?

Thanks!

Dear all

I just tried to install that layout file on my LyX 2.3 on MacOS 13.1 Ventura.
I put it in my layouts directory located in $HOME/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.3/layouts. but reconfigure does not add to the available layouts (it can not be found in textclass.lst) although the appropriate class in installed in my latex tree.
Thank you for any help you could provide.

Solved my problem: for some strange reason, the layout was in html.
I did a first try but the title doesn't show and the author/affiliation field does not seem correct.

Any hint?

Finally got it to work. My LyX was messed up.

Dear Mr. cmencar

Initially, many thanks for your efforts creating "sn-example.lyx".
It simply does not compile in lyx. Please find the details below.

- I use Lyx 2.3.7 and TeXLive 2021.
- I downloaded sn-article-template from https://www.springernature.com/gp/autho ... or-support
- I followed the steps in https://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Springer and execute the command "texhash" from a console to install sn-article-template.
- Then I executed LyX>Tools>Reconfigure
- I copied your springer-nature.layout to C:\Program Files\LyX 2.3\Resources\layouts
- I opened your sn-example.lyx using LyX
- I deleted all the text in Document>Settings>LaTeX Preamble to git rid of some erroe
- I compiled sn-example.lyx

The compilation gives the following error messages:
\__hook begindocument ->\SetFootnoteHook {\hspace *{-8pt}}\DeclareNewFootnot...
...
LaTeX Error: Undefined color `artcatboxgray'.
...

The first page of the generated document is one line only "A[gobble]artcatboxgraycmyk0.0,0.0,0.0,0.30"

Beginning from the second page, the article displays well.

Could you please solve the error messages so that the first page of the generated document displays correctly?
