Why. If it was not meant for the user to create their own layout files, it shouldn't have been in the user documentation. > (you get exacltly the same problem: how to distribute your > document?

Why modifying article.cls is bad, it is OK to use your own class file (built over article.cls), or to use your own .sty files. > | The clean way is to store these things outside of the document in the layout > | file (note that we can make the layout file be editable from within lyx). > > No, the only clean place to store extra floats/layouts whatever is as > part of the document.

Do you have 100 copies of the layout file ? And what happen if you want to make a change in the layout ?
