Hi Every one,
I am a happy user of LyX on windows 10 and have enjoyed the ease of
use developing a 308 page book manuscript.
However as I am naïve about things LaTeX I need advice on the following.
I used a book template that I found on my LyX installation, but the
publisher (Springer Nature) wants their own format.
I found the relevant LaTex download svmono at:
https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/your-publication-journey/manuscript-preparation#toc-49272
<https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/your-publication-journey/manuscript-preparation#toc-49272>
But I have two Questions:
Q1: where do I place the components of svmono inside the LyX package
so that I can open the Springer *.tex book template in LyX?
Exactly how you will do this depends upon what TeX installation you are
using: MikTeX or TeXLive. Depending which it is, pages like this one:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/336024/add-a-specific-document-class-created-by-a-journal-to-the-directory
will provide instructions on how to do it. Basically, you just need to
copy the svmono files into your TeX tree, and then update the TeX
database. If you see svmono in TeXLive, and that's what you are using,
then you can just install it that way.
Then you will need to reconfigure LyX, so it knows about the new files.
Q2: When I do open the Springer template in LyX how do I move the
contents of my *.lyx book manuscript into the Springer template?
You may not need to do that: Just change the document class under
Document> Settings to svmono. You'll likely need to adapt your existing
book in various ways, but that should not be too bad. If you want, you
can File> Import the svmono template. It's just a LaTeX file. Then you
can use that as a guide for the changes you need to make.
