Thanks Daniel! I tried to create a document with a ERT like
\title(Paper Title) \author{Luis} but when I compile it, the document is empty. Trying to use the Lyx Title and Author, I get this message: \author{Luis}\maketitle The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined. Am I doing something wrong?
