LyX
LyX is an WYSIWYM editor for LaTeX documents. It uses its own (text based) format, and allows you to write documents even not knowing LaTeX.
Installation of new LaTeX classes
LaTeX classes (*.cls
files) require additional description for LyX which
provide information about presentation of different styles. They are
distributed as *.layout
files with optional accompanying *.module
files.
Unix systems:
Copy (or symlink) the
*.layout
and*.module
files to$HOME/.lyx/layouts
directory.
Windows systems:
Copy the
*.layout
and*.module
files toC:\Program Files\LyX\Resources\layouts
directory.
Start LyX, run Tools –> Reconfigure, and restart the editor.
Goto Tools –> TeX Information and check whether the new classes are available for LyX.
