Hi All,
I want to use thmtools to redefine some of the theorem-like
environments LyX uses. The problem is that by default when you use the
each environment, lyx defines it using a \newtheorem. Is there an
option to tell LyX not do so, as I intended to define them myself in
the preamble using thmtools?
What you really want to do here is modify the module that defines these
environments. They're not hardcoded. I'm not sure which module you are
using, but let's say that it's the basic Theorems module. This is
actually a file theorems-std.module, which does nothing but pull in
three other files: theorems.inc, theorems-proof.inc, and
theorems-proof-std.inc.
So here's what you can do.
(1) Copy the system theorems-std.module and theorems.inc files to your
local LyX directory. E.g., on Linux, copy
/usr/share/lyx/layouts/theorems-std.inc and .../theorems.inc to
~/.lyx/layouts/. Rename them as e.g. theorems-mine.module and
theorems-mine.inc.
(2) Modify the headers of both files to give them new, more informative
names and descriptions.
(3) Change "Input theorems.inc", in theorems-mine.module to "Input
theorems-mine.inc".
(4) Open theorems-mine.inc and change the Preamble code for each
environment as you wish. When you see the file, you'll see what to do.
