Dear LyX Users,

About six months ago, I started a blog series about a custom document
class called xetexCV.  From the very beginning, I intended to create a
layout file for this class and explain how to use it from LyX.

But then I started work on a book, got bogged down in things at work,
and had a couple of family crises.  During each, the completion date for
the layout file and the final blog post got pushed a little further into
the future and eventually, it simply became defined as "soon."  

Well, it turns out that "soon" apparently means "about six months."
Today, I finally got around to finishing/testing the layout file, and
posted the usage instructions.  They can be found at:

http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/05/19/latex-cv-part4

Because there was some interest from users of this list, I thought that
I would post the link here.  Also, I included some bits about a few
other topics that recently came up, including:

* Using latex photo commands from a LyX doc (turns out that they should
probably be used in the preamble)
* How to automatically generate a Publications list using the \nocite
command.

If you download and use the class/layout, I would be extremely
appreciative of any feedback; particularly if things don't work quite
right.  I would like to include this class with aforementioned book, and
I hate to release code with bugs.

Cheers,

Rob Oakes
