(I do know that there have been some bug reports.) But as a
workaround for now, you could just pass the option manually in
Document>Settings>Document Class. Maybe that'd even be best, since
you wouldn't have to do different files for different options. (Of
course, once modules are on the scene, with 1.6, that sort of thing
will become easier.)
That'll definitely work for now. IMHO different files for different
options would be preferable -- that way the user just has to know
which journal s/he wants. I was hoping to do this in a way that would
save the user from having to remember the four letter mnemonic for
each INFORMS journal (and, for that matter, having to know said
mnemonic exists).
It would be nice, actually, if there were a way to embed option choices
into the layout file, so that, e.g., you could do this:
ClassOptions
SelectOne choicea, choiceb, choicec
SelectMany optiona, optionb, optionc
Boolean oneside
End
and then what you'd get, in Document>Settings>Document Class are (a) a
combo box, (b) a mutli-select type list, and (c) a checkbox. Working out
the details exactly would be some work, but it'd be very cool if it
could be done.
