LyX ⇒ PNAS layout in lyx

[SpectrumX]

Hello all, I am trying to write a simple layout for the PNAS Article in LYX (2.1). I tried to use the Article.layout as a starting point but I was not successful. I also tried to import the PNAS tempalte.tex into lyx but always got errors during the tex import. I am now stuck and do not know what to do. Your help would be most appreciated.

Please not that the required pnastwoF.sty and pnastwo.cls are in the right place under /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/PNAS, I am using Debian 7, and lyx does not complain about any of these two classes/styles.

Please see the following link for the PNAS journal's Latex templates and classes:
http://www.pnas.org/site/authors/LaTex.xhtml

or see the attached files.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Just an update on error faced.

I had to disable the following in the preamble:

Code: Select all

%\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
%\usepackage{pnastwoF}

and used a simple layout as follows:

Code: Select all

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[pnastwo]{article (Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, PNAS)}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc

With normal (standard) text in the document I get no errors. When I try to add Titles or Authors I get the very annoying error below:

Code: Select all

Missing Number, treated as zero.
 \maketitle
            
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)

Any Idea what is going wrong?

I still need to continue trying to sort this out until hopefully get some feedback from someone with better expertise in LATEX and LYX than myself.

Thanks

Another update:

I found the following forum http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... nt-find-hv in which the font-related problem are solved. Now I can activate the line : \usepackage{pnastwoF} in permeable.

Now lyx preamble look as following with no errors:

Code: Select all

%% ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL STYLE FILES
%\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\usepackage{pnastwoF}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsfonts,amsmath}


%% OPTIONAL MACRO DEFINITIONS
\def\s{\sigma}

One more update:

Regarding the title and author error. I did the following to g round the above problem:

Simply use the following command in lyx instead of using the title, author etc from the menu.

Code: Select all

\title{Almost sharp fronts for the surface geostrophic equation}

\author{Roberta Graff\affil{1}{University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom}, Javier de Ruiz Garcia\affil{2}{Universidad de Murcia, Bioquimica y Biologia Molecular, Murcia, Spain}, \and Franklin Sonnery\affil{2}{}}

\contributor{Submitted to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}

\maketitle % The \maketitle command is necessary to build the title page 

It seems that the PNAS class do not like the way how lyx handels the

Code: Select all

\maketitle 

command.

I must mention that I also tried both inserting Tables, Figures and Bibliographies and all worked fine.
