This doesn't help, unfortunately. The `english' option
still gets added, and this breaks REVTEX. I guess the
same would occur if I changed to `german' - it seems
you can't have a `null' option.
The attached files (short!) demonstrate the problem.
Start with a valid REVTEX file (TEstLYX.tex) - no
language options are needed, since PHYS REV is only
published in English :-)
Next, TEstLYX.lyx gives the imported file - I
include no figures here, since ReLyx has problems
importing figures - due to the centering command
bug, which is still around :-(
This won't Latex anymore, in LyX1.1.6fix2. Problem
is the same whether or not babel is included in the
preferences panel. By the way - terrific job, whoever
thought of that neat panel!!
To understand why, export to Latex giving TEstLYXa.tex. Front-matter is
changed, with the unwanted `english'
option included. Problem is, this doesn't work with
the Revtex class-file.
Solution would be if LyX could delete the language
option when there is no language package chosen. RevTex
4 will solve the problem RSN, but it would be nice to have backward
compatibility!!
thanks - Peter Drummond.
PS - Lyx got presented very well at the CCP2000
conference last year - so you might get more physicists.

will it work OK with REVTEX?
