Re: Self-contained lyx documents

Actually, latex is perfectly fine with the class being in the same directory as the .tex file. We routinely use this feature when collaborating. Using a class never requires running sudo texhash. And this is really crucial for me. My coworkers expect that we share a directory, and whatever's in t

Self-contained lyx documents

Hi guys, I managed to write an article in lyx in sig-alternate style. I had to copy the class into my tex installation, run texhash, install some layout into ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0/layouts. And that's fine. And then my coworker wanted to see what I'd done, so I sent him the director

Having trouble importing latex to lyx

Hi, I'm using LyX with the springer LNCS article class. In my previous work, all the program listings I had to write could reasonably well be called "algorithms," so I used the algorithm class in a float. This time, they aren't really algorithms, they're just program listings. So, I'd the surroundi
