| LaTeX2e Instructions
| ====================
| What you can try is:
| cp report.layout ~/.lyx/layouts/uowthesis.layout
|
| Then edit uowthesis.layout and change the line:
| \DeclareLaTeXClass{report}
| to read
| \DeclareLaTeXClass[report,uowthesis.sty]{report (uowthesis)}
|
| Then add:
| Preamble
| \usepackage{uowthesis}
| EndPreamble
|
| near the top of the file.
| Start LyX and select Options->reconfigure. Restart LyX and try creating a
| new document you should see "report (uowthesis)" as a document class
| option. It's likely that some of the sectioning commands and such will
| look different to how report works so you can fiddle around with the
| settings for the different sections if you wish. See further below for
| more discussion on this.

| LaTeX-2.09 Instructions
| =======================
| If the uowthesis.sty file is specifically for the now defunct LaTeX-2.09
| you can tell this by one of two things:
| 1. The example file the uni provides will start with
| \documentstyle{uowthesis}
| 2. Running latex on an example file will produce a big banner
| warning that it is entering compatability mode.
|
| LyX only supports LaTeX2e documents. But don't give up hope yet. Where
| there's a will there's a way. The existing support for ReVTeX wraps the
| 2.09 codes for use in 2e formatted documents. We can reuse the ReVTeX
| wrapper for your uowthesis.sty (if it turns out to be 2.09 code). I'm
| already doing this in preparing support for IEICE Transactions.
|
| Okay, here's what you do:
| cp lyx/lib/tex/revtex.cls ~/tex/uowthesis.cls
|
| or to where ever you keep your local tex files. Now edit uowthesis.cls
| and do a search-and-replace on "revtex" and "uowthesis". It's likely that
| some of the \DeclareOption statements in the file are not relevent for
| your style file but we won't worry about that now.
|
| The next step is to repeat the process of creating the uowthesis.layout
| file given above only this time you use:
| \DeclareLaTeXClass{uowthesis}
|
| and shouldn't need any Preamble definitions. Run LyX and reconfigure,
| restart lyx and with luck you'll have a reasonably useable system that
| only needs fine-tuning of the display. This involves tweeking the values
| used by LyX for spacing, font styles and so on that are defined in the
| .layout files.
|
| You'll also need to check that you have all the environments available
| from the uowthesis.sty available in your uowthesis.layout file. If any
| are missing you'll need to add entries. Just copy another style that
| looks similar and tweek that. The easiest way to do this is with:
| Style MissingStyle
| CopyStyle SimilarStyle
| # whatever is different you now redefine
| End
|
| See the documentation in Customization for details about what each element
| in a .layout file does.
|
| That should be enough to get you on the road.
Ok, this seems like a nice subchapter in some document. Customization?
