Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Using the cls file in LyX?

[templateuser]

Hi,
First thank you for this amazing template. The problem is I'm trying to use your template with LyX using this tutorial : http://wastedmonkeys.com/2007/09/27/add ... yx-windows

And it doesn't seem to work at all. The pdf generated is like just using the report class and nothing else.
Do you know about the files that have to be imported? Is it even exportable to LyX?

Thank you.

Ok sorry, I think I've just understood the structure of your .tex calling the .cls which contains almost nothing of the thesis presentation...
So I think there is no way to export your .cls file to LyX. Could you confirm that?

Hey,

You're right that the main.tex file uses the Thesis.cls to specify the structure and important variables.

I haven't used LyX myself personally so I'm not familiar with using any of the templates on it. However, I don't see why you can't use the link you pasted in your first post to insert the Thesis.cls as a custom class which main.tex can then use within LyX? I could be missing something though...

Cheers,

Hi,
Thanks for answering this fast. From what I understood until now, the tex/cls bond is like the html/css bound as the lyx/layout bond is like the html/css bond. So I found the script from the link I sent you to "convert" a cls file into a layout file (kind of, because it's more like an input that's done) but I didn't find anything to convert a tex into a lyx file... And I'd actually like to make a class template that would do everything, so I just have to choose the class "Thesis" (or whatever) and enter my university, thesis/report title and everything. So I'm still working on it, and the problem is I don't find any template that works either... That's a shame, because your template is the best-looking I found until now ^^
Good work though, keep it up!
