Hello, I am wondering, if LyX has support for custom style files, which are distributed with a large document. As an example, if I write my thesis or a manual, somebody might have defined a common style which gives the same look for all documents of a department, call it mysty.sty for now.
When just using LaTeX, I would include my.sty in the source directory of a document to be distributed and the receiver would run LaTeX, LaTeX would find mysty.sty in the current working directory and everything would work fine. With LyX, I have to define an additional mysty.layout file, which is easy enough. How would I distribute now the mysty.sty and mysty.layout to make it as convenient as possible for the recipient to view the document with LyX? I tried to include the mysty.sty and the mysty.layout in the document directory, started up LyX for the document directory, but even a reconfigure did not find mysty. Next I moved mysty into ~/.lyx/layouts and run reconfigure. LyX found mysty.layout but it did not find the sty file, though it was in the working directory. I got it working, only when I installed the .sty file in the LaTeX system installation as well. To me that looks broken, though I might not have found the trick yet or not have configured something correctly... If it is broken like this, is there an easy way to fix that issue? I compile LyX usually myself... I put out a very small example, which helps highlighting the issue: http://www.alzental-castle.de/~rd/mysty.tgz The goal is to display document.lyx within lyx without -> installing mysty.sty systemwide -> installing mysty.layout in ~/.lyx/layouts (though I could live with this one for now) Many thanks, Rainer -- Rainer Dorsch Alzentalstr. 28 D-71083 Herrenberg 07032-919495 jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Fingerprint: 5966 C54C 2B3C 42CC 1F4F 8F59 E3A8 C538 7519 141E Full GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu/
