Layout file is not visible

I saved http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Examples/CV/cv_JMarc.layout among layout-files in Lyx, but when I want to choose New from template I cannot find it.

What can I do?

From LyX wiki:

This page points to user-provided layouts (a.k.a. document classes)...

So, you should:

1. put .layout files into "layouts" folder in your user directory

2. reconfigure LyX: Tools > Reconfigure

3. close LyX and open it again

4. look for new layout files in Documents > Settings > Document Class.

Thank you for your help, it works. Now please tell me, what is the next step. As you see, I didn't make it so well.

Looks like an encoding problem. Can you post a Minimal Working Example (MWE), please?

Sorry, that was too long for me to read about MWE, but I hope these file are suitable. However, they are minimal. Please, tell me if it is something else I need to send, in that case I shall read the MWE-article.

Well, Board Rules, Avoidable mistakes, Obsolete Packages and Minimal Working Example (MWE) are a must-read for every user here

By following these guides you'll save yourself as well as others from frustrations and unnecessary waste of time and energy (not to mention a quick and precise response to your question).

For now, create a .lyx file containing some example text which, when compiled, produces that error you mentioned. Then put that .lyx file into a ZIP archive and attach it to your next post.

1. The package graphicx is needed for the logo. Put into the preamble:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphicx}

2. Put an "End" of CV into the document too.

3. In Document Settings > Language you may have to set encoding to utf8x.

For more infos consult europecv documentation.

Thank for your help.
