LyX ⇒ Problem: Import LaTeX to LyX (a title page with graphics)

[pooz]

Hello,

I have problems, when importing a LaTeX doc into LyX.

The LaTeX Code is correct and will be compiled in TeXShop (a main file calls the "title.tex" File)
But when I import this "title.tex"-file or even only the code (by CMD-L), Lyx wont compile it.

When inserting the complete code via "insert/Tex Code (CMD-L) or when trying to import Latex-File: Lyx gives this error:

Code: Select all

\href
          {http://www.google.de}  { \includegraphics[width = 2.8cm]{figures/...
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I would be thankful for any help
greetings

[meho_r]

Your code is not compilable, it's missing a lot of elements (no \documentclass, no \begin{document} etc.). Please, post fully compilable Minimum Working Example.

[pooz]

My Code is placed in a file called "title.tex" and this file again will be called by a main template file called "template.tex". But the main file is very big, because it includes a lot of other files beside "title.tex" like "chapter1.tex" etc... and has a big preamble/header stuff.

[meho_r]

And you expect that people here guess what documentclass you're using, which packages you're using etc.? You haven't provide the most basic infos. Of course you don't have to post your whole document, but you really have to post compilable example. Don't expect help if you're not obeying fundamental rules (Minimum Working Example being one of them).

Here's a doc which works when imported in LyX. You'll have to correct paths for included graphics and remove part above \begin{document} (including \begin{document} and \end{document} lines):

Take notice of the packages in the preamble which are needed to compile this document correctly, so make sure you'll have them in your master document's preamble (especially graphicx package which is needed for \includegraphic command to work).

[pooz]

It wasn´t my intention, to not provide an information. It is just, that I am a LaTeX noob and have only very few knowledge about it. Thats why I am using LyX.

Now, I deleted some comments and "chapter-includes" to build a minimal example.
here we go for the "template.tex"

Thanks for your code:
But it doesn´t work when importing this to LyX after deleting the lines you mentioned and saving the code to a fresh file i.e. "test.tex". The error LyX throws is the same as in my opening-post.

It seems, that LyX has problems with hyperlinks behind an image, hasn´t it?
- graphicx is used in this way

Did you solve the problem? I tried your new code, but still cannot compile it. Can you provide package readfile.sty? macrox.tex and layout.tex are missing (you shouldn't include any external material in MWE, or at least provide them). Without these I can't get any output.

Hi,

unfortunately I did not get it working. I am still on the state of my last post.
