Unable to create .lyx from .tex

Post by divyak »

I'm writing a technical article for Wiley.

The class file is here:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/ ... vrauth.cls

A sample .tex file is here:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/ ... tvrdoc.tex

the generated pdf is:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/ ... tvrdoc.pdf


the problem is:
I'm trying to import this stvrdoc.tex;
its giving tex2lyx -f "stvrdoc.tex" "stvrdoc.lyx" done
but error popsup
"stvrdoc.lyx ended unexpectedly, which mean that it is probably corrupted"

Please give some solution.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I think you have to make a layout file for the class, if it does not exist. This is not an easy thing to do. If you would like to proceed, search for "lyx layout class".

Best of luck!

Welcome to the forum!

LyX is great. It may be hard with an unsupported class though.

If you would decide to work with LaTeX, like supported by Wiley, let us know. We gladly help you with the start. You could ask us questions, how something works, or show us challenges you might be facing.
