\begin_layout Chapter
Introduction
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This manual covers the customization features present in \SpecialChar LyX
.
 In it,
 we discuss issues like keyboard shortcuts,
 screen previewing options,
 printer options,
 sending commands to \SpecialChar LyX
 via the \SpecialChar LyX
 Server,
 internationalization,
 installing new \SpecialChar LaTeX
 classes and \SpecialChar LyX
 layouts,
 etc.
 We can't possibly hope to touch on everything you can change—
our developers add new features faster than we can document them—
but we will explain the most common customizations and hopefully point you in the right direction for some of the more obscure ones.

\begin_layout Chapter
\SpecialChar LyX
 configuration files
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This chapter aims to help you to find your way through the \SpecialChar LyX
 configuration files.
 Before continuing to read this chapter,
 you should find out where your \SpecialChar LyX
 system and user directories are by using 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Help\SpecialChar menuseparator

\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

LyX
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 The system directory is the place where \SpecialChar LyX
 places its system-wide configuration files;
 the user directory is where you can place your modified versions.
 We will call the former 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
LyXDir
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and the latter 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

 in the remainder of this document.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
LyXDir
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and its sub-directories contain a number of files that can be used to customize \SpecialChar LyX
's behavior.
 You can change many of these files from within \SpecialChar LyX
 itself through the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Preferences
\end_layout

\end_inset

 dialog.
 Most customization that you will want to do in \SpecialChar LyX
 is possible through this dialog.
 However,
 many other inner aspects of \SpecialChar LyX
 can be customized by modifying the files in 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
LyXDir
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 These files fall in different categories,
 described in the following subsections.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The files found in 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

 are generated when you configure \SpecialChar LyX
.
 They contain various default values that are automatically detected during reconfiguration.
 In general,
 it is not a good idea to modify them,
 since they might be overwritten at any time.

Running \SpecialChar LyX
 with multiple configurations
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The configuration freedom of the local configuration directory may not suffice if you want to have more than one configuration at your disposal.
 For example,
 you may want to use different key bindings or printer settings at different times.
 You can achieve this by having several such directories.
 You then specify which directory to use at run-time.
\end_layout

\begin_inset Flex Code

-userdir
\end_layout

\end_inset

 
\emph on
<some directory>
\emph default
 instructs the program to read the configuration from that directory,
 and not from the default directory.
 (You can determine the default directory by running \SpecialChar LyX
 without the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
-userdir
\end_layout

\end_inset

 switch.) If the specified directory does not exist,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 offers to create it for you,
 just like it does for the default directory the first time you run the program.
 You can modify the configuration options in this additional user directory exactly as you would for the default directory.
 These directories are completely independent (but read on).
 Note that setting the environment variable

Having several configurations also requires more maintenance:
 if you want to add a new layout to 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
NewUserDir/layouts
\end_layout

\end_inset

 which you want available from all your configurations,
 you must add it to each directory separately.
 You can avoid this with the following trick:
 after \SpecialChar LyX
 creates the additional directory,
 most of the subdirectories (see above) are empty.
 If you want the new configuration to mirror an existing one,
 replace the empty subdirectory with a symbolic link to the matching subdirectory in the existing configuration.
 Take care with the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
doc/
\end_layout

\end_inset

 subdirectory,
 however,
 since it contains a file written by the configuration script (also accessible through 
\begin_inset Flex Noun

 To do so,
 open the

 You will also need to enter a file extension.
 These are all required.
 The optional 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

 For example,
 you might want to use 
\begin_inset Flex Noun

\begin_layout Section
Copiers
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Since all conversions from one format to another take place in \SpecialChar LyX
's temporary directory,
 it is sometimes necessary to modify a file before copying it to the temporary directory in order that the conversion may be performed.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
For example,
 the file may refer to other files—
images,
 for example—
using relative file names,
 and these may become invalid when the file is copied to the temporary directory.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 This is done by a Copier:
 It copies a file to (or from) the temporary directory and may modify it in the process.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The definitions of the copiers may use eight variables:
\end_layout

 It is relevant only when exporting files suitable for such inclusion.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Copiers can be used to do almost anything with output files.
 For example,
 suppose you want generated pdf files to be copied to a special directory,
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
/home/you/pdf/
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 Then you could write a shell script such as this one:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Plain Layout

#!/bin/bash
\end_layout

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\begin_layout Plain Layout

cp $FROMFILE /home/you/pdf/$TOFILE

say,
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
/home/you/.lyx/scripts/pdfcopier.sh
\end_layout

and make it executable,
 if you need to do so on your platform.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Copiers are used by \SpecialChar LyX

 For example,
 if appropriate programs are found,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 will automatically install copiers for the

 formats.
 When these formats are exported,
 the copier sees that not just the main HTML file but various associated files (style files,
 images,
 etc.) are also copied.
 All these files are written to a subdirectory of the directory in which the original \SpecialChar LyX
 file was found.

 all files will be copied.
 The

\begin_layout Standard
A suitable hyperref-driver is set for some converters that are installed with \SpecialChar LyX
.
 The last three flags,
 however,
 are presently not used in any of the pre-installed converters.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You do not have to define converters for all formats between which you want to convert.
 For example,
 you will note that there is no `\SpecialChar LyX
 to PostScript' converter,
 but \SpecialChar LyX
 will export PostScript.
 It does so by first creating a \SpecialChar LaTeX
 file (no converter needs to be defined for this) which is then converted to DVI using the `\SpecialChar LaTeX
 to DVI' converter,
 and finally converting the resulting DVI file to PostScript.
 \SpecialChar LyX
 finds such `chains' of converters automatically,
 and it will always choose the shortest possible chain.
 You can,
 though,
 still define multiple conversion methods between file formats.
 For example,
 the standard \SpecialChar LyX
 configuration provides five ways to convert \SpecialChar LaTeX
 to PDF:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Directly,
 using 
\begin_inset Flex Noun

 provided text in thirty languages.
 The language of choice is called your

 For Linux,
 the manual page for 
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_layout

 could be a good place to start).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Notice that these translations will work,
 but do contain a few flaws.
 In particular,
 all dialogs have been designed with the English text in mind,
 which means that some of the translated text will be too large to fit within the space allocated.
 This is only a display problem and will not cause any harm.
 Also,
 you will find that some of the translations do not define shortcut keys for everything.
 Sometimes,
 there are simply not enough free letters to do it.
 Other times,
 the translator just hasn't got around to doing it yet.

\SpecialChar LyX
 uses the GNU 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
gettext
\end_layout

\end_inset

 library to handle the internationalization of the interface.
 To have \SpecialChar LyX
 speak your favorite language in all menus and dialogs,
 you need a 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
po
\end_layout

\end_inset

-file for that language.
 When this is available,
 you'll have to generate a 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
mo
\end_layout

\end_inset

-file from it and install the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout

\end_inset

-file.
 The process of doing all of this is explained in the documentation for GNU 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
gettext
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 It is possible to do this just for yourself,
 but if you're going to do it,
 you might as well share the results of your labors with the rest of the \SpecialChar LyX
 community.
 Send a message to the \SpecialChar LyX
 developers' list for more information about how to proceed.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Ambiguous messages
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Sometimes it turns out that one English message needs to be translated into different messages in the target language.
 One example is the message 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
To
\end_layout

\end_inset

 which has the German translation 
\lang german
Nach
\lang english
 or 
\lang german
Bis
\lang english
,
 depending upon exactly what the English 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

to
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 means.
 GNU 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
gettext
\end_layout

\end_inset

 does not handle such ambiguous translations.
 Therefore you have to add some context information to the message:
 Instead of 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
To
\end_layout

\end_inset

 it becomes 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
To[[as in 'From format x to format y']]
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
To[[as in 'From page x to page y']].
\end_layout

\end_inset

 Now the two occurrences of 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
To
\end_layout

\end_inset

 are different for 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
gettext
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and can be translated correctly to 
\lang german
Nach
\lang english
 and 
\lang german
Bis
\lang english
,
 respectively.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Of course the context information needs to be stripped off the original message when no translation is used.
 Therefore you have to put it in double square brackets at the end of the message (see the example above).
 The translation mechanism of \SpecialChar LyX
 ensures that everything in double square brackets at the end of messages is removed before displaying the message.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Translating the documentation.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The online documentation (in the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_inset

-menu) can (and should!) be translated.
 If there are translated versions of the documentation available
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
As of March 2008,
 at least some of the documents have been translated into fourteen languages,
 with the Tutorial available in a few more.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and the locale is set accordingly,
 these will be used automagically by \SpecialChar LyX
.
 \SpecialChar LyX
 looks for translated versions as 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
LyXDir/doc/xx/DocName.lyx
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 where 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
xx
\end_layout

\end_inset

 is the code for the language currently in use.
 If there are no translated documents,
 the default English versions will be displayed.
 Note that the translated versions must have the same filenames (
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
DocName
\end_layout

\end_inset

 above) as the original.
 If you feel up to translating the documentation (an excellent way to proof-read the original documentation by the way!),
 there are a few things you should do right away:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Check out the documentation translation web page at 
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "https://www.lyx.org/Translation"
target "https://www.lyx.org/Translation"
literal "false"

\end_inset

.
 That way,
 you can find out which (if any) documents have already been translated into your language.
 You can also find out who (if anyone) is organizing the effort to translate the documentation into your language.
 If no one is organizing the effort,
 please let us know that you're interested.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Once you get to actually translating,
 here's a few hints for you that may save you trouble:
\end_layout

Learn the typographic conventions for the language you are translating to.

 refers to a key that does not produce a character by itself,

 produces the desired accent character.

Dead Keys
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There is a second way to add support for international characters through so-called dead-keys.
 A dead-key works in combination with a letter to produce an accented character.
 Here,
 we'll explain how to create a really simple dead-key to illustrate how they work.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Suppose you happen to need the circumflex character,
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

 ̂
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 You could bind the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout

\end_inset

-key [a.k.a.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Noun

] to the \SpecialChar LyX

\begin_inset Flex Code

accent-circumflex
\end_layout

\end_inset

 in your 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
lyxrc

\end_inset

 file.
 Now,
 whenever you type the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
^
\end_layout

\end_inset

-key followed by a letter,
 that letter will have a circumflex accent on it.
 For example,
 the sequence 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
^e
\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 produces the letter:
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

ê
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 If you tried to type 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
^t
\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

,
 however,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 will complain with a beep,
 since a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
t
\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 never takes a circumflex accent.
 Hitting 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Space
\end_layout

\end_inset

 after a dead-key produces the bare-accent.
 Please note this last point!
 If you bind a key to a dead-key,
 you'll need to rebind the character on that key to yet another key.
 Binding the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
,-key
\end_layout

\end_inset

 since you'll only get cedillas instead of commas.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
One common way to bind dead-keys is to use 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Meta-
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

 and 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Shift-

\end_inset

 in combination with an accent,
 like 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
~
\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset Quotes erd

\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
^
\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 Another way involves using 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
xmodmap
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
xkeycaps
\end_layout

\end_inset

 to set up the special 
\begin_inset Flex Code

 key.
 The 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\end_layout

\end_inset

 acts in some ways just like 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Shift
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and permits you to bind keys to accented characters.
 You can also turn keys into dead-keys by binding them to something like 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
usldead_cedilla
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and then binding this symbolic key to the corresponding \SpecialChar LyX

\begin_layout Standard
In this chapter,
 we describe the procedures for creating and installing new \SpecialChar LyX
 layout and template files,
 as well as offer a refresher on correctly installing new \SpecialChar LaTeX
 document classes.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
First,
 let us a say a few words about how one ought to think about the relation between \SpecialChar LyX
 and \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
 The thing to understand is that,
 in a certain sense,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 doesn't know anything about \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
 Indeed,
 from \SpecialChar LyX
's point of view,
 \SpecialChar LaTeX
 is just one of several 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

backend formats
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 in which it is capable of producing output.
 Other such formats are DocBook,
 plaintext,
 and XHTML.
 \SpecialChar LaTeX
 is,
 of course,
 a particularly important format,
 but very little of the information \SpecialChar LyX
 has about \SpecialChar LaTeX
 is actually contained in the program itself.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Some commands are sufficiently complex that they are 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

hardcoded
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 into \SpecialChar LyX
.
 But the developers generally regard this as a Bad Thing.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 Rather,
 that information,
 even for the standard classes like 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article.cls
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 is contained in `layout files'.
 Similarly,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 itself does not know much about DocBook or XHTML.
 What it knows is contained in layout files.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You can think of the layout file for a given document class as a translation manual between \SpecialChar LyX
 constructs—
paragraphs with their corresponding styles,
 certain sorts of insets,
 etc—
and the corresponding \SpecialChar LaTeX
,
 DocBook,
 or XHTML constructs.
 Almost everything \SpecialChar LyX
 knows about 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article.cls
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 for example,
 is contained in the file 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and in various other files it includes.
 For this reason,
 anyone intending to write layout files should plan to study the existing files.
 A good place to start is with 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
stdsections.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 which is included in 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
book.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 and many of the other layout files for document classes.
 This file is where sections and the like are defined:
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
stdsections.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

 tells \SpecialChar LyX
 how paragraphs that are marked with the Section,
 Subsection,
 etc,
 styles can be translated into corresponding \SpecialChar LaTeX
,
 DocBook,
 and XHTML commands and tags.
 The 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

 file basically just includes several of these 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
std*.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

 files.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Defining the \SpecialChar LyX
–\SpecialChar LaTeX
 correspondence is not the only thing layout files do,
 though.
 Their other job is to define how the \SpecialChar LyX
 constructs themselves will appear on-screen.
 The fact that layout files have these two jobs is often a source of confusion,
 because they are completely separate.
 Telling \SpecialChar LyX
 how to translate a certain paragraph style into \SpecialChar LaTeX
 does not tell \SpecialChar LyX
 how to display it;
 conversely,
 telling \SpecialChar LyX
 how to display a certain paragraph style does not tell \SpecialChar LyX
 how to translate it into \SpecialChar LaTeX
 (let alone tell \SpecialChar LaTeX
 how to display it).
 So,
 in general,
 when you define a new \SpecialChar LyX
 construct,
 you must always do two quite separate things:
 (i)
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

tell \SpecialChar LyX
 how to translate it into \SpecialChar LaTeX
 and (ii)
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

tell \SpecialChar LyX
 how to display it.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Much the same is true,
 of course,
 as regards \SpecialChar LyX
's other backend formats,
 though XHTML is in some ways different,
 because in that case \SpecialChar LyX
 
\emph on
is
\emph default
 able,
 to some extent,
 to use information about how it should display a paragraph on the screen to output information (in the form of CSS) about how the paragraph should be displayed in a browser.
 Even in this case,
 however,
 the distinction between what \SpecialChar LyX
 does internally and how things are rendered externally remains in force,
 and the two can be controlled separately.

\begin_layout Section
Installing new \SpecialChar LaTeX
 files
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Some installations may not include a \SpecialChar LaTeX
 package or class file that you would like to use within \SpecialChar LyX
.
 For example,
 you might need Foil\SpecialChar TeX
,
 a package for preparing slides for overhead projectors.
 Modern \SpecialChar LaTeX
 distributions like \SpecialChar TeX
Live (2008 or newer) or MiK\SpecialChar TeX
 provide a user interface for installing such packages.
 For example,
 with MiK\SpecialChar TeX
,
 you start the program 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Package
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

Manager
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 to get a list of available packages.
 To install one of them,
 right click on it or use the corresponding toolbar button.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If your \SpecialChar LaTeX
 distribution does not provide such a `package manager',
 or if the package is not available from your distribution,
 then follow these steps to install it manually:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Get the package from 
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "CTAN"
target "http://www.ctan.org/"
literal "false"

\end_inset

 or wherever.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
If the package contains a file with the ending 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
.ins
\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 (is the case for Foil\SpecialChar TeX
) then open a console,
 change to the folder of this file and execute the command 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
latex foiltex.ins
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 You have now unpacked the package and have all files to install it.
 Most \SpecialChar LaTeX
-packages are not packed and you can skip this step.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Now you need to decide if the package should be available for all users or only for you.
\end_layout

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
On *nix systems (Linux,
 OSX,
 etc.),
 if you want the new package to be available for all users on your system,
 then install it in your `local' \SpecialChar TeX
 tree,
 otherwise install it in your own `user' \SpecialChar TeX
 tree.
 Where these trees should be created,
 if they do not already exist,
 depends on your system.
 To find this out,
 look in the file 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
texmf.cnf
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
This is usually in the directory 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
$TEXMF/web2c
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 though you can execute the command 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
kpsewhich texmf.cnf
\end_layout

\end_inset

 to locate it.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 The location of the `local' \SpecialChar TeX
 tree is defined by the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
TEXMFLOCAL
\end_layout

\end_inset

 variable;
 this is usually somewhere like 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
/usr/local/share/texmf
\end_layout

\end_inset

 or /usr/local/texlive/XXXX where XXXX is the year of the installed \SpecialChar TeX
Live distribution.
 The location of the `user' \SpecialChar TeX
 tree is defined by 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
TEXMFHOME
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and is commonly 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
$HOME/texmf
\end_layout

\end_inset

 or 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\family sans
$HOME/.texliveXXXX
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 (If these variables are not predefined,
 you have to define them.) You'll probably need root permissions to create or modify the `local' tree,
 but not for your `user' tree.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

In general,
 it is recommended to install in the user tree because your user will not be modified or even overwritten when you upgrade your system.
 It will typically also be backed up together with everything else when you backup your home directory (which,
 of course,
 you do on a regular basis).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
On Windows,
 if you want the new package to be available for all users on your system,
 change to the folder where \SpecialChar LaTeX
 is installed and then change to the subfolder 
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_layout

\end_inset

 Create there a new folder 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
foiltex
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and copy all files of the package into it.
 
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

If the package should only available for you or you don't have admin permissions,
 do the same,
 but in the local \SpecialChar LaTeX
 folder.

\begin_layout Enumerate
For \SpecialChar TeX
Live execute the command 
\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout

 from a console.
 If you installed the package for all users,
 then you will probably need to have root permissions for that.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
For MiK\SpecialChar TeX

 if you have installed the package for all users,
 start the program 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

 Otherwise start the program 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Settings
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 and do the same.
\end_layout

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
Finally,
 you need to tell \SpecialChar LyX
 that there are new packages available.
 So,
 in \SpecialChar LyX
,
 use the menu 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Tools
\family sans
\SpecialChar menuseparator
Reconfigure
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and then restart \SpecialChar LyX
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Now the package is installed.
 In our example,
 the document class 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
FoilTex
\end_layout

\end_inset

 will now be available under 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout

\end_inset

 (in the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

Presentations
\begin_inset Quotes erd

 category).
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you would like to use a \SpecialChar LaTeX
 document class that is not even listed in the menu 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Document Class
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 then you need to create a `layout' file for it.
 That is the topic of the next section.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Types of layout files
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This section describes the various sorts of \SpecialChar LyX
 files that contain layout information.
 These files describe various paragraph and character styles,
 determining how \SpecialChar LyX
 should display them and how they should be translated into \SpecialChar LaTeX
,
 DocBook,
 XHTML,
 or whatever output format is being used.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
We shall try to provide a thorough description of the process of writing layout files here.
 However,
 there are so many different types of documents supported even by just \SpecialChar LaTeX
 that we can't hope to cover every different possibility or problem you might encounter.
 The \SpecialChar LyX
 users' list is frequented by people with lots of experience with layout design who are willing to share what they've learned,
 so please feel free to ask questions there.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
As you prepare to write a new layout,
 it is extremely helpful to look at the layouts distributed with \SpecialChar LyX
.
 If you write a \SpecialChar LyX
 layout for a \SpecialChar LaTeX
 document class that might also be used by others,
 or write a module that might be useful to others,
 then you should consider posting your layout to the 
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "layout section on the LyX wiki"
target "https://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts"
literal "false"

\end_inset

 or even to the \SpecialChar LyX
 developers' list,
 so that it might be included in \SpecialChar LyX
 itself.

\begin_layout Subsection
Layout modules
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "subsec:Layout-modules"

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
We have spoken to this point about `layout files'.
 But there are different sorts of files that contain layout information.
 Layout files,
 strictly so called,
 have the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

 extension and provide \SpecialChar LyX
 with information about document classes.
 Since \SpecialChar LyX
 1.6 layout information can also be contained in layout 
\emph on
modules
\emph default
,
 which have the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
.module
\end_layout

\end_inset

 extension.
 Modules are to \SpecialChar LaTeX
 packages much as layouts are to \SpecialChar LaTeX
 classes,
 and some modules—
such as the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
endnotes
\end_layout

\end_inset

 module—
specifically provide support for one package.
 In a sense,
 layout modules are similar to included
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
These can have any extension,
 but by convention have the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

 extension.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 files—
files like 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
stdsections.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

—
in that modules are not specific to a given document class but may be used with many different classes.
 The difference is that using an included file with 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article.cls
\end_layout

\end_inset

 requires editing that file.
 Modules,
 by contrast,
 are selected in the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings
\end_layout

\end_inset

 dialog.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Building modules is the easiest way to get started with layout editing,
 since it can be as simple as adding a single new paragraph style or flex inset.
 But modules may,
 in principle,
 contain anything a layout file can contain.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
After creating a new module and copying it to the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
layouts/
\end_layout

\end_inset

 folder,
 you will need to reconfigure and then restart \SpecialChar LyX
 for the module to appear in the menu.
 However,
 changes you make to the module will be seen immediately,
 if you open 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 highlight something,
 and then hit 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

OK
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 
\emph on
It is strongly recommended that you save your work before doing this
\emph default
.
 In fact,
 
\emph on
it is strongly recommended that you not attempt to edit modules while simultaneously working on actual documents
\emph default
.
 Though of course the developers strive to keep \SpecialChar LyX
 stable in such situations,
 syntax errors and the like in your module file could cause strange behavior.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Local Layout
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Modules are to \SpecialChar LyX
 as packages are to \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
 Sometimes,
 however,
 you find yourself wanting a specific inset or character style just for one document and writing a module that will also be available to other documents makes little sense.
 What you need is \SpecialChar LyX
's 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Local Layout
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You will find it under 
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Local Layout
\family default
.
 The large text box allows you to enter anything that you might enter in a layout file or module.
 You can think of a document's local layout,
 in fact,
 as a module that belongs just to it.
 So,
 in particular,
 you must enter a 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Format
\end_layout

\end_inset

 tag.
 Any format is acceptable,
 but one would normally use the format current at the time.
 (In \SpecialChar LyX
 
\begin_inset Info
type  "lyxinfo"
arg   "version"
\end_inset

,
 the current layout format is 
\begin_inset Info
type  "lyxinfo"
arg   "layoutformat"
\end_inset

.)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
When you have entered something in the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Local Layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

 pane,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 will enable the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Validate
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 button at the bottom.
 Clicking this button will cause \SpecialChar LyX
 to determine whether what you have entered is valid layout information for the chosen format.
 \SpecialChar LyX
 will report the result but,
 unfortunately,
 will not tell you what errors there might have been.
 These will be written to the terminal,
 however,
 if \SpecialChar LyX
 is started from a terminal.
 You will not be permitted to save your local layout until you have entered something valid.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The warnings at the end of the previous section apply here,
 too.
 Do not play with local layout while you are actually working,
 especially if you have not saved your document.
 That said,
 using local layout with a test document can be a very convenient way to try out layout ideas,
 or even to start developing a module.

Layout for

 files
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are two situations you are likely to encounter when wanting to support a new \SpecialChar LaTeX
 document class,
 involving style (
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
.sty
\end_layout

\end_inset

) files and \SpecialChar LaTeX2e
 class (
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
.cls
\end_layout

\end_inset

) .
 Supporting a style file is usually fairly easy.
 Supporting a new class file is a bit harder.
 We'll discuss the former in this section and the latter in the next.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The easier case is the one in which your new document class is provided as a style file that is to be used in conjunction with an already supported document class.
 For the sake of the example,
 we'll assume that the style file is called 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
myclass.sty
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and that it is meant to be used with 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
report.cls
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 which is a standard class.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Start by copying the existing class's layout file into your local directory:
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Of course,
 which directory is your local directory will vary by platform,
 and \SpecialChar LyX
 allows you to specify your local directory on startup,
 too,
 using the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
-userdir
\end_layout

\end_inset

 option.
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
cp report.layout ~/.lyx/layouts/myclass.layout
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Then edit 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
myclass.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and change the line:
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
DeclareLaTeXClass{Report (Standard Class)}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
to read
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
DeclareLaTeXClass[report,
 myclass.sty]{Report (My Class)}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Then add:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
Preamble 
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

    
\backslash
usepackage{myclass}
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

EndPreamble
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
near the top of the file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Start \SpecialChar LyX
 and select 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Reconfigure
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 Then restart \SpecialChar LyX
 and try creating a new document.
 You should see "
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Report (My Class)
\end_layout

\end_inset

" as a document class option in the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings
\end_layout

\end_inset

 dialog.
 It is likely that some of the sectioning commands and such in your new class will work differently from how they worked in the base class—

\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
report
\end_layout

\end_inset

 in this example—
so you can fiddle around with the settings for the different sections if you wish.
 The layout information for sections is contained in 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
stdsections.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 but you do not need to copy and change this file.
 Instead,
 you can simply add your changes to your layout file,
 after the line 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Input stdclass.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 which itself includes 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
stdsections.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 For example,
 you might add these lines:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
Style Chapter
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
    Font
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
        Family Sans
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
    EndFont
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
End
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
to change the font for chapter headings to sans-serif.
 This will override (or,
 in this case,
 add to) the existing declaration for the Chapter style.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Your new package may also provide commands or environments not present in the base class.
 In this case,
 you will want to add these to the layout file.
 See 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:TextClass"
nolink "false"

\end_inset

 for information on how to do so.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
myclass.sty
\end_layout

\end_inset

 can be used with several different document classes,
 and even if it cannot,
 you might find it easiest just to write a module that you can load with the base class.
 The simplest possible such module would be:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
#
\backslash
DeclareLyXModule{My Class} 
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
#DescriptionBegin 
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
#Support for myclass.sty.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
#DescriptionEnd
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
Format 
\begin_inset Info
type  "lyxinfo"
arg   "layoutformat"
\end_inset


\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
Preamble
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

    
\backslash
usepackage{myclass}
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

EndPreamble
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A more complex module might modify the behavior of some existing constructs or define some new ones.
 Again,

 files
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are two possibilities here.
 One is that the class file is itself based upon an existing document class.
 For example,
 many thesis classes are based upon 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
book.cls
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 To see whether yours is,
 look for a line like
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
LoadClass{book}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
in the file.
 If so,
 then you may proceed largely as in the previous section,
 though the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Declare\SpecialChar LaTeX
Class
\end_layout

\end_inset

 line will be different.
 If your new class is 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
thesis
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and it is based upon 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
book
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 then the line should read:
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
And it will be easiest if you save the file to 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
thesis.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

:
 \SpecialChar LyX
 assumes that the document class has the same name as the layout file.
 
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
DeclareLaTeXClass[thesis,book]{thesis}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If,
 on the other hand,
 the new class is not based upon an existing class,
 you will probably have to 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

roll your own
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 layout.
 We strongly suggest copying an existing layout file which uses a similar \SpecialChar LaTeX
 class and then modifying it,
 if you can do so.
 At least use an existing file as a starting point so you can find out what items you need to worry about.
 Again,
 the specifics are covered below.

 for it,
 too.
 A template acts as a kind of tutorial for your layout,
 showing how it might be used,
 though containing dummy content.
 You can of course look at the various templates included with \SpecialChar LyX
 for ideas.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Templates are created just like usual documents:
 using \SpecialChar LyX
.
 The only difference is that usual documents contain all possible settings,
 including the font scheme and the paper size.
 Usually a user doesn't want a template to overwrite his preferred settings for such parameters.
 For that reason,
 the designer of a template should remove the corresponding commands like 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\backslash
font_roman
\end_layout

\end_inset

 or 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\backslash
papersize
\end_layout

\end_inset

 from the template \SpecialChar LyX
 file.
 This can be done with any simple text-editor,
 for example 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
vi
\end_layout

\end_inset

 or 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
notepad
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Put the edited template files you create in 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
UserDir/templates/
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 copy the ones you use from the global template directory in 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
LyXDir/templates/
\end_layout

\end_inset

 to the same place,
 and redefine the template path in the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Preferences\SpecialChar menuseparator
Paths
\end_layout

\end_inset

 dialog.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note,
 by the way,
 that there is a template which has a particular meaning:
\begin_inset Newline linebreak
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
defaults.lyx
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 This template is loaded every time you create a new document with 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
File\SpecialChar menuseparator
New
\end_layout

\end_inset

 in order to provide useful defaults.
 To create this template from inside \SpecialChar LyX
,
 all you have to do is to open a document with the correct settings,
 and use the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Save as Document Defaults
\end_layout

\end_inset

 button.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Upgrading old layout files
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The format of layout files changes with each \SpecialChar LyX
 release,
 so old layout files need to be converted to the new format.
 If \SpecialChar LyX
 reads a layout file in an older format,
 it automatically calls the script 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
layout2layout.py
\end_layout

\end_inset

 to convert it to a temporary file in current format.
 The original file is left untouched.
 If you use the layout file often,
 then,
 you may want to convert it permanently,
 so that \SpecialChar LyX
 does not have to do so itself every time.
 To do this,
 you can call the converter manually:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
rename the file 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
myclass.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

 to 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
myclass.old
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Call the command
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
python LyXDir/scripts/layout2layout.py myclass.old myclass.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

where 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
LyXDir
\end_layout

\end_inset

 is the name of your \SpecialChar LyX
 system directory.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note that manual conversion does not affect included files,
 so these will have to be converted separately.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "subsec:Cite-Engine-Files"

\end_inset

Cite engine files
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A specific form of layout files are the so-called 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
*.citeengine
\end_layout

\end_inset

 files that are located in the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
citeengines/
\end_layout

\end_inset

 sub-directory.
 Their purpose is to define the specifics of \SpecialChar LaTeX
 packages aimed at bibliography generation,
 such as 
\family sans
natbib
\family default
,

\family sans
 jurabib
\family default
 or 
\family sans
biblatex
\family default
,
 but also the way how normal Bib\SpecialChar TeX
 citations (without additional packages) are handled in \SpecialChar LyX
 is defined in such a file.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
More specifically,
 it is defined which packages \SpecialChar LyX
 needs to load,
 which citation commands are available,
 how these are to be displayed in \SpecialChar LyX
 (in the workarea,
 the dialogs,
 the context menus) as well as in the XHTML and plain text output.
 Furthermore,
 the files specify available style variants (author-year,
 numerical,
 etc.) and their specifics.
 The cite engine files are also used to generate the options that are available in 
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Bibliography\SpecialChar menuseparator
Style engine
\family default
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Even though a cite engine file is essentially a normal layout file that could theoretically include any layout information,
 it usually primarily includes some specific parameters such as 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
MaxCiteNames
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
CiteFramework

,
 
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_layout

\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_inset

 blocks.
 The syntax of the latter two is described in 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

noprefix "false"
nolink "false"

\end_inset

 and

 as well as in the files themselves.

\end_inset

The layout file format
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The following sections describe how layout files are structured and written.
 Our advice is to go slowly,
 save and test often.
 It is really not that hard,
 except that the multitude of options can become overwhelming,
 especially if you try to check out too many at once.
 It becomes easier if you use existing layouts of \SpecialChar LyX
 as examples/reference or if you modify an existing layout to your needs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note that all the tags used in layout files are case-insensitive.
 This means that 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Style
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
style
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
StYlE
\end_layout

\end_inset

 are really the same tag.
 The possible arguments are printed in brackets after the tag's name.
 The default argument is typeset 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\emph on
emphasized
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 If the argument has a data type like 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

string
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 or 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

float
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

,
 the default is shown like this:
 
\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
The document class declaration and classification
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Lines in a layout file which begin with 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
#
\end_layout

\end_inset

 are comments.
 There is one exception to this rule.
 All 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
*.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

 files should begin with lines like:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#% Do not delete the line below;
 configure depends on this 
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#  
\backslash
DeclareLaTeXClass{Article (Standard Class)}
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#  
\backslash
DeclareCategory{Articles}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The second and third lines are used when you (re)configure \SpecialChar LyX
.
 The layout file is read by the \SpecialChar LaTeX
 script 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
chkconfig.ltx
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 in a special mode where 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
#
\end_layout

\end_inset

 is ignored.
 The first line is just a \SpecialChar LaTeX
 comment,
 the second one contains the mandatory declaration of the text class and the third line contains the optional classification of the class.
 If these lines appear in a file named 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 then they define a text class of name 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article
\end_layout

\end_inset

 (the name of the layout file) which uses the \SpecialChar LaTeX
 document class 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article.cls
\end_layout

\end_inset

 (the default is to use the same name as the layout).
 The string 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Article (Standard Class)
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 that appears above is used as a description of the text class in the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings
\end_layout

\end_inset

 dialog.
 The category (
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Articles
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 in the example) is also used in the 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings
\end_layout

\end_inset

 dialog:
 the text classes are grouped by these categories (which are usually genres,
 so typical categories are 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Articles
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

,
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Books
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

\end_inset

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

,
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Curricula Vitae
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 etc.).
 If no category has been declared,
 the class will be put in the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Uncategorized
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 group.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Let's assume that you wrote your own text class that uses the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article.cls
\end_layout

\end_inset

 document class,
 but where you changed the appearance of the section headings.
 If you put it in a file 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
myarticle.layout
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 the header of this file should be:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#% Do not delete the line below;
 configure depends on this 
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#  
\backslash
DeclareLaTeXClass[article]{Article (with My Own Headings)}
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#  
\backslash
DeclareCategory{Articles}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This declares a text class 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
myarticle
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 associated with the \SpecialChar LaTeX
 document class 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
article.cls
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and described as 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Article (with My Own Headings)
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 If your text class depends on several packages,
 you can declare it as:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#% Do not delete the line below;
 configure depends on this 
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#  
\backslash
DeclareLaTeXClass[article,foo.sty]{Article (with My Own Headings)}
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#  
\backslash
DeclareCategory{Articles}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This indicates that your text class uses the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
foo.sty
\end_layout

\end_inset

 package.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note that these declarations can also be given an optional parameter declaring the name of the document class (but not a list).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
So,
 to be as explicit as possible,
 the form of the layout declaration is:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#  
\backslash
DeclareLaTeXClass[class,package.sty]{layout description}
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#  
\backslash
DeclareCategory{category}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The class need only be specified if the name of the \SpecialChar LaTeX
 class file and the name of the layout file are different or if there are packages to load.
 If the name of the class file is not specified,
 then \SpecialChar LyX
 will simply assume that it is the same as the name of the layout file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
When the text class has been modified to your taste,
 all you have to do is to copy it either to 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
LyXDir/layouts/
\end_layout

\end_inset

 or to 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
UserDir/layouts
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 run 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Reconfigure
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 exit \SpecialChar LyX
 and restart.
 Then your new text class should be available along with the others.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Once the layout file is installed,
 you can edit it and see your changes without having to reconfigure or to restart \SpecialChar LyX
.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
In versions of \SpecialChar LyX
 prior to 1.6,
 this was not true.
 As a result,
 editing layout files was very time consuming,
 since you had constantly to restart \SpecialChar LyX
 to see changes.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 You can force a reload of the current layout by using the \SpecialChar LyX
 function 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
layout-reload
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 There is no default binding for this function—
though,
 of course,
 you can bind it to a key yourself.
 But you will normally use this function simply by entering it in the mini-buffer.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\emph on

 recommended that you save your work before using this function.
 In fact,
 it is 
\emph on

\emph default
 recommended that you not attempt to edit layout information while simultaneously working on a document that you care about.
 Use a test document.
 Syntax errors and the like in your layout file could cause peculiar behavior.
 In particular,
 such errors could cause \SpecialChar LyX
 to regard the current layout as invalid and to attempt to switch to some other layout.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Really bad syntax errors may even caused \SpecialChar LyX
 to exit.
 This is because certain sorts of errors may make \SpecialChar LyX
 unable to read 
\emph on
any
\emph default
 layout information.
 Please be careful.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 The \SpecialChar LyX
 team strives to keep \SpecialChar LyX
 stable in such situations,
 but safe is better than sorry.

\begin_layout Subsection
The Module declaration
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A module must begin with a line like the following:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
#
\backslash
DeclareLyXModule[endnotes.sty]{Endnotes}
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\size small
#
\backslash
DeclareCategory{Foot- and Endnotes}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The mandatory argument of 
\family typewriter

 in curly brackets,
 is the name of the module,
 as it should appear in 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Modules
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 The argument in square brackets is optional:
 It declares any \SpecialChar LaTeX
 packages on which the module depends.
 It is also possible to use the form 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
from->to
\end_layout

\end_inset

 as an optional argument,
 which declares that the module can only be used when there exists a conversion chain between the formats `
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
from
\end_layout

\end_inset

' and `
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_layout

\end_inset

'.
 The 
\family typewriter

\backslash
DeclareCategory
\family default
 declaration is not strictly mandatory,
 but you should add it,
 since it is helpful to find the module.
 Please have a look at the existing module categories and if appropriate,
 use one of those.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The module and category declaration should then be followed by lines like the following:

 versions.
 The first stable version that supports this tag is \SpecialChar LyX
 2.1.0.
 The argument is a number which may either be 0,
 -1 or any value greater than zero.
 If the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
ForceLocal
\end_layout

\end_inset

 flag of a style is greater than zero,
 it will always be written to the document header.
 If a .lyx file is read,
 the style definitions from the document header are added to the document class.
 Therefore even older \SpecialChar LyX
 versions can handle the style.
 The argument of 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
ForceLocal

\end_inset

 is a version number:
 if the style is read,
 and the version number is less than the version number of the already existing style in the document class,
 the new style is ignored.
 If the version number is greater,
 the new style replaces the existing style.
 A value of -1 means an infinite version number,

Internationalization of Paragraph Styles
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
 has long supported internationalization of layout information,
 but,
 until version 2.0,
 this applied only to the user interface and not to,
 say,
 PDF output.
 Thus,
 French authors were forced to resort to ugly hacks if they wanted `
\lang french
Théorème
\lang english
 1' instead of `Theorem 1'.
 Thanks to Georg Baum,
 that is no longer the case.

\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout

\end_inset

 tags,
 but in practice they will typically look as they do here.
 The key to correct translation of the typeset text is the definition of the \SpecialChar LaTeX
 command 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\backslash
claimname
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and its use in

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
LangPreamble
\end_layout

\end_inset

 tag provides for internationalization based upon the overall language of the document.
 The contents of the tag will be included in the preamble,
 just as with the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Preamble
\end_layout

\end_inset

 tag.
 What makes it special is the use of the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

function
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
_()
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 which will be replaced,
 when \SpecialChar LyX
 produces \SpecialChar LaTeX
 output,
 with the translation of its argument into the document language.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
BabelPreamble
\end_layout

\end_inset

 tag is more complex,
 since it is meant to provide support for multi-language documents and so offers an interface to the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
babel
\end_layout

\end_inset

 package.
 Its contents will be added to the preamble once for each language that appears in the document.
 In this case,
 the argument to 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
_()
\end_layout

\end_inset

 will be replaced with its translation into the language in question;
 the expression 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
$$lang
\end_layout

\end_inset

 is replaced by the language name (as used by the babel package).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A German document that also included a French section would thus have the following in the preamble:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash

\begin_inset Newline newline

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LaTeX
 and 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
babel
\end_layout

\end_inset

 will then conspire to produce the correct text in the output.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
One important point to note here is that the translations are provided by \SpecialChar LyX
 itself,
 through the file 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
layouttranslations
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 This means,
 in effect,
 that 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
LangPreamble
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
BabelPreamble
\end_layout

\end_inset

 are really only of use in layout files that are provided with \SpecialChar LyX
,
 since text entered in user-created layout files will not be seen by \SpecialChar LyX
's internationalization routines unless the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
layouttranslations
\end_layout

\end_inset

 file is modified accordingly.
 That said,
 however,
 any layout created with the intention that it will be included with \SpecialChar LyX
 should use these tags where appropriate.
 Please note that the paragraph style translations provided by \SpecialChar LyX
 will never change with a minor update (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset

g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset

from version 2.1.x to 2.1.y).
 It is however quite likely that a major update (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset

g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset

from 2.0.x to 2.1.0) will introduce new translations or corrections.

status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
InsetLayout
\end_layout

\end_inset

 tag also serves another function:
 It can be used to customize the general layout of many different types of insets.
 Currently,
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
InsetLayout
\end_layout

\end_inset

 can be used to customize the layout parameters for footnotes,
 marginal notes,
 note insets,
 \SpecialChar TeX
 code (ERT) insets,
 branches,
 listings,
 indexes,
 boxes,
 tables,
 algorithms,
 URLs,
 and captions,
 as well as to define Flex insets.

Both paragraph styles and inset layouts allow for 
\emph on
arguments
\emph default
 as well as the main content.
 This is especially useful for things like section headings and only makes sense with \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
 Each (optional or required) argument of a command or environment—
except for the required argument that is associated with the content—
has a separate definition,
 where the number specifies the order of the arguments.
 The definition must end with 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
EndArgument
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 So a command with two optional arguments looks like:
\end_layout

\end_layout

\begin_layout Quote

\family typewriter
...
\end_layout

\begin_layout Quote

\begin_inset Flex Code

 The standard counters are defined in the file

 But if you want to define custom counters,
 then you can do so.
 The counter declaration must begin with:

\begin_layout Standard
where of course `

 Each of these turns on or off the corresponding attribute.
 For example,
 
\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout
emph
\end_layout

\end_inset

 turns on emphasis,
 and 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
no_emph

\end_inset

 turns it off.

 remember that the font settings for the present context are generally inherited from the surrounding context.
 So 
\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout
no_emph
\end_layout

\end_inset

 would turn off the emphasis that was anyway in effect,
 say,
 in a theorem environment.

 A cite engine,
 in \SpecialChar LyX
 terms,
 is way specific way to format citations,
 using numbers,
 author names and/or years.
 Currently,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 supports three such engine types,
 namely:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
default
\end_layout

\end_inset

:
 the default Bib\SpecialChar TeX
 way to format citations,
 a simple numeric style (e.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The tag following 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
CiteEngine
\end_layout

\end_inset

 denotes the engine.
 The individual lines respectively define a cite command or cite command paradigm supported by this engine.
 The line can be as simple as a cite command that is used both to name the respective \SpecialChar LyX
 command and the \SpecialChar LaTeX
 output or more complex in order to differentiate things.
 The full syntax is:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
LyXName|alias$*<!_stardesc!_stardesctooltip>[][]=latexcmd
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_layout

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
For portability reasons,
 we try to use the same name for same-formatted commands in different cite packages (thus many names stem from natbib,
 and thus we need to differentiate a

 sometimes,
 if the \SpecialChar LaTeX
 command names differ).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
\begin_inset Flex Code

:
 a (comma-separated) list of commands that fall back to the given 
\begin_inset Flex Code

 in the current engine.
 This eases the switch of citation packages and engines.
 The

.
 Maximal two translatable macro keywords,
 marked by the prefix

\begin_layout Standard
If you want to add a cite command to a cite engine (e.

 add a specific command provided by a class),
 you can use 
\begin_inset Flex Code

Cite format description
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
CiteFormat
\end_layout

\end_inset

 blocks are used to describe how bibliographic information should be displayed,
 both within \SpecialChar LyX
 itself (in the citation dialog and in tooltips,
 for example) and in XHTML output.
 Such a block might look like this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
CiteFormat
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
 article ...
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
 book ...
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
End
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
or
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
CiteFormat
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
 cite ...
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
 citet*[][] ...
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
End
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In the first case,
 the individual lines define how the bibliographic information associated with an article or book,
 respectively,
 is to be displayed,
 and such a definition can be given for any 
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset

entry type
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset

 that might be present in a Bib\SpecialChar TeX
 file.
 \SpecialChar LyX
 defines a default format in the source code that will be used if no specific definition has been given.
 \SpecialChar LyX
 predefines several formats in the file 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
stdciteformats.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 which is included in most of \SpecialChar LyX
's document classes.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In the second case,
 the lines define how a specific citation command (in the example 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\backslash
cite
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\backslash
citet
\end_layout

\end_inset

) is to be displayed on the citation inset label,
 in the citation dialog,
 menu or XHTML output.
 \SpecialChar LyX
 defines such formats for the citation style variants it supports via 
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Setting\SpecialChar menuseparator
Bibliography\SpecialChar ldots

\family default
 in specific 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
*.citeengine
\end_layout

\end_inset

 files that are shipped with \SpecialChar LyX
 (see 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Cite-Engine-Files"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"
nolink "false"

\end_inset

).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The definitions use a simple language that allows Bib\SpecialChar TeX
 keys to be replaced with their values.
 Keys should be enclosed in 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
%
\end_layout

\end_inset

 signs,
 e.g.:
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
%author%
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 So a simple definition might look like this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
misc %author%,
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

%title%
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This would print the author,
 followed by a comma,
 followed by the title,
 in quotes,
 followed by a period.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Of course,
 sometimes you may want to print a key only if it exists.
 This can be done by using a conditional construction,
 such as:
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
{%volume%[[vol.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

%volume%]]}
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 This says:
 If the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
volume
\end_layout

\end_inset

 key exists,
 then print 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

vol.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 followed by the volume key.
 It is also possible to have an else clause in the conditional,
 such as:
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
{%author%[[%author%]][[%editor%,
 ed.]]}
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

Here,
 the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
author
\end_layout

\end_inset

 key is printed if it exists;
 otherwise,
 the editor key is printed,
 followed by 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

,
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

ed.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 Note that the key is again enclosed in 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
%
\end_layout

\end_inset

 signs;
 the entire conditional is enclosed in braces;
 and the if and else clauses are enclosed in double brackets,
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
[[
\end_layout

\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 There must be no space between any of these.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Next to the entry keys,
 there are some special keys that can be used for these conditionals:

\begin_layout Standard

 (since

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There is one other piece of syntax available in definitions,
 which looks like this:
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
{!<i>!}
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 This defines a piece of formatting information that is to be used when creating 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

rich text
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 Obviously,
 we do not want to output HTML tags when writing plain text,
 so they should be wrapped in 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

{!
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

!}
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Two special sorts of definitions are also possible in a 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
CiteFormat
\end_layout

\end_inset

 block.
 An example of the first would be:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
!quotetitle 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

%title%
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This is an abbreviation,
 or macro,
 and it can be used by treating it as if it were a key:
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
%!quotetitle%
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 \SpecialChar LyX
 will treat 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
%!quotetitle%
\end_layout

\end_inset

 exactly as it would treat its definition.
 So,
 let us issue the obvious 
\emph on
warning
\emph default
.
 Do not do this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
!funfun %funfun%
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
or anything like it.
 \SpecialChar LyX
 shouldn't go into an infinite loop,
 but it may go into a long one before it gives up.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The second sort of special definition might look like this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
B_pptext pp.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This defines a translatable piece of text,
 which allows relevant parts of the bibliography or citation to be translated.
 It can be included in a definition by treating it as a key:
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
%B_pptext%
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 Note that there are two different translation paths:
 All definitions starting with 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
B_
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 such as in the example above,
 will be translated to the currently active buffer language (so the translation will match the generated document).
 All definitions starting with underscore only will be translated to the GUI language.
 This is the proper translation for strings that only occur in the dialogs or on buttons,
 such as this one:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
_addtobib Add to bibliography only.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Several of these translatable strings are predefined in 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
stdciteformats.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and the diverse 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
*.citeengine
\end_layout

\end_inset

 files.
 Note that these are not macros,
 in the sense just defined.
 They will not be expanded.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
So here then is an example that uses several of these features:
\begin_inset VSpace defskip
\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\noindent

\family sans
!authoredit {%author%[[%author%,
 ]][[{%editor%[[%editor%,
 %B_edtext%,
 ]]}]]}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset VSpace defskip
\end_inset

This defines a macro that prints the author,
 followed by a comma,
 if the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
author
\end_layout

\end_inset

 key is defined,
 or else prints the name of the editor,
 followed by the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
B_edtext
\end_layout

\end_inset

 or its translation (it is by default 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

ed.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

),
 if the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
editor
\end_layout

\end_inset

 key is defined.
 Note that this is in fact defined in 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
stdciteformats.inc
\end_layout

\end_inset

,
 so you can use it in your own definitions,
 or re-definitions,
 if you load that file first.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
\begin_inset CommandInset label

\end_inset

Tags for XHTML output
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
As with \SpecialChar LaTeX
 or DocBook,
 the format of \SpecialChar LyX
's XHTML output is also controlled by layout information.
 In general,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 provides sensible defaults and,
 as mentioned earlier,
 it will even construct default CSS style rules from the other layout tags.
 For example,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 will attempt to use the information provided in the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Font
\end_layout

\end_inset

 declaration for the Chapter style to write CSS that will appropriately format chapter headings.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In many cases,
 then,
 you may not have to do anything at all to get acceptable XHTML output for your own environments,
 custom insets,
 and so forth.
 But in some cases you will,
 and so \SpecialChar LyX
 provides a number of layout tags that can be used to customize the XHTML and CSS that are generated.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note that there are two tags,
 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
HTMLPreamble
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
AddToHTMLPreamble
\end_layout

\end_inset

 that may appear outside style and inset declarations.
 See 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:General-text-class"
nolink "false"

 for details on these.

Paragraph styles
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The sort of XHTML \SpecialChar LyX
 outputs for a paragraph depends upon whether we are dealing with a normal paragraph,
 a command,
 or an environment,
 where this is itself determined by the contents of the corresponding 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
\SpecialChar LaTeX
Type
\end_layout

\end_inset

 tag.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For a command or normal paragraph,
 the output XHTML has the following form:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
<tag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
<labeltag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>Label</labeltag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
Contents of the paragraph.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
</tag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The label tags are of course omitted if the paragraph does not have a label.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For an environment that is not some sort of list,
 the XHTML takes this form:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
<tag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
<itemtag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

><labeltag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>Environment Label</labeltag>First paragraph.</itemtag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
<itemtag>Second paragraph.</itemtag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
</tag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note that the label is output only for the first paragraph,
 as it should be for a theorem,
 for example.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For a list,
 we have one of these forms:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
<tag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>
\end_layout

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>List Label</labeltag>First item.</itemtag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
<itemtag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

><labeltag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>List Label</labeltag>Second item.</itemtag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
</tag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
<tag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
<labeltag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>List Label</labeltag><itemtag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>List Label</labeltag><itemtag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>Second item.</itemtag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
</tag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note the different orders of 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
labeltag
\end_layout

\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
itemtag
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 Which order we get depends upon the setting of 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
HTMLLabelFirst
\end_layout

\end_inset

:
 If 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
HTMLLabelFirst
\end_layout

\end_inset

 is false (the default),
 you get the first of these,
 with the label within the item;
 if true,
 you get the second,
 with the label outside the item.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The specific tags and attributes output for each paragraph type can be controlled by means of the layout tags we are about to describe.
 As mentioned earlier,
 however,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 uses sensible defaults for many of these,
 so you often may not need to do very much to get good XHTML output.
 Think of the available tags as there so you can tweak things to your liking.

\end_inset

 Here,
 too,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 tries to provide sensible defaults,
 and it constructs default CSS style rules.
 But everything can be customized.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The XHTML \SpecialChar LyX
 outputs for an inset has the following form:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<tag attr=
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

value
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

\end_layout

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

>Contents of the inset.</innertag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If the inset permits multiple paragraphs—
that is,
 if 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
MultiPar
\end_layout

\end_inset

 is true—
then the contents of the inset will itself be output as paragraphs formatted according to the styles used for those paragraphs (standard,
 quote,
 and the like).
 The label tag is of course omitted if the paragraph does not have a label and,
 at present,
 is always 
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_inset

.
 The inner tag is optional and,

\begin_layout Standard
We have several times mentioned that \SpecialChar LyX

 In this section,
 we shall say a word about which layout information \SpecialChar LyX
 uses and how.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\end_inset

 declaration (see 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Font-description"
nolink "false"

\end_inset

).
 The translation is mostly straightforward and obvious.
 For example,
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Family Sans
\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset Quotes erd

\end_inset

Tags for DocBook output
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
As with \SpecialChar LaTeX
 or XHTML,
 the format of \SpecialChar LyX
's DocBook output is also controlled by layout information.
 In general,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 provides sensible defaults;
 however,
 much of the styling is lost during the conversion,
 as DocBook is strictly semantic and does not allow formatting.
 When possible,
 information from \SpecialChar LyX
 will be rendered in 
\family typewriter
role
\family default
 attributes.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In many cases,
 then,
 you may not have to do anything at all to get acceptable DocBook output for your own environments,
 custom insets,
 and so forth.
 But in some cases you will,
 and so \SpecialChar LyX
 provides a number of layout tags that can be used to customize the DocBook that is generated.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Labels are rarely output,
 as they are redundant in DocBook:
 this information is carried by the tags themselves,
 and whether labels appear in the final documents (after processing of DocBook files) is controlled by the stylesheets.
 However,
 sometimes,
 labels are not redundant content,
 such as definition lists:
 in this case,
 the term being defined will be the label.
\end_layout

Paragraph styles
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The sort of DocBook \SpecialChar LyX
 outputs for a paragraph depends upon whether we are dealing with a normal paragraph,
 a command,
 or an environment,
 where this is itself determined by the contents of the corresponding 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
\SpecialChar LaTeX
Type
\end_layout

\end_inset

 tag.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For a command or normal paragraph,
 the output DocBook has the following form:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<tag attr>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
Contents of the paragraph.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
</tag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For an environment that is not some sort of list,
 the generated DocBook takes this form:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<tag attr>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<itemtag>First paragraph.</itemtag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<itemtag>Second paragraph.</itemtag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
</tag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For a list,
 the resulting DocBook takes this form:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<tag attr>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<itemtag attr>First item.</itemtag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<itemtag attr>Second item.</itemtag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
</tag>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The specific tags and roles output for each paragraph type can be controlled by means of the layout tags we are about to describe.
 Please note that,
 due to the very nature of DocBook,
 no sensible defaults really exist,
 and the values must always be carefully chosen.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The use of material from sources external to \SpecialChar LyX
 is covered in detail in the 
\emph on
Embedded Objects
\emph default
 manual.
 This part of the manual covers what needs to happen behind the scenes for new sorts of material to be included.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
How does it work?
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The external material feature is based on the concept of a 
\emph on
template
\emph default
.
 A template is a specification of how \SpecialChar LyX
 should interface with a certain kind of material.
 As bundled,
 \SpecialChar LyX
 comes with predefined templates for Xfig figures,
 various raster format images,
 chess diagrams,
 and LilyPond music notation.
 You can check the actual list by using the menu 
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
File\SpecialChar menuseparator
External Material
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 Furthermore,
 it is possible to roll your own template to support a specific kind of material.
 Later we'll describe in more detail what is involved,
 and hopefully you will submit all the templates you create so we can include them in a later \SpecialChar LyX
 version.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Another basic idea of the external material feature is to distinguish between the original file that serves as a base for final material and the produced file that is included in your exported or printed document.
 For example,
 consider the case of a figure produced with 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Xfig
\end_layout

\end_inset

.
 The Xfig application itself works on an original file with the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
.fig
\end_layout

\end_inset

 extension.
 Within Xfig,
 you create and change your figure,
 and when you are done,
 you save the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
fig
\end_layout

\end_inset

-file.
 When you want to include the figure in your document,
 you invoke 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
transfig
\end_layout

\end_inset

 in order to create a PostScript file that can readily be included in your \SpecialChar LaTeX
 file.
 In this case,
 the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
.fig
\end_layout

\end_inset

 file is the original file,
 and the PostScript file is the produced file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This distinction is important in order to allow updating of the material while you are in the process of writing the document.
 Furthermore,
 it provides us with the flexibility that is needed to support multiple export formats.
 For instance,
 in the case of a plain text file,
 it is not exactly an award-winning idea to include the figure as raw PostScript.
 Instead,
 you would either prefer to just include a reference to the figure or try to invoke some graphics to ASCII converter to make the final result look similar to the real graphics.
 The external material management allows you to do this,
 because it is parametrized on the different export formats that \SpecialChar LyX
 supports.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Besides supporting the production of different products according to the exported format,
 it supports tight integration with editing and viewing applications.
 In the case of an Xfig figure,
 you are able to invoke Xfig on the original file with a single click from within the external material dialog in \SpecialChar LyX
,
 and also preview the produced PostScript file with Ghostview with another click.
 No more fiddling around with the command line and/or file browsers to locate and manipulate the original or produced files.
 In this way,
 you are finally able to take full advantage of the many different applications that are relevant to use when you write your documents,
 and ultimately be more productive.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
The external template configuration files
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
It is relatively easy to add custom external template definitions to \SpecialChar LyX
.
 However,
 be aware that doing this in an careless manner most probably 
\emph on
will
\emph default
 introduce an easily exploitable security hole.
 So before you do this,
 please read the discussion about security in 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:Security-discussion"
nolink "false"

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Having said that,
 we encourage you to submit any interesting templates that you create.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The external templates are defined in the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
*.xtemplate
\end_layout

\end_inset

 files that are stored in the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
LyXDir/lib/xtemplates/
\end_layout

\end_inset

 directory.
 Each template is defined in a file of its own.
 You can place your own templates in 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
UserDir/xtemplates/
\end_layout

\end_inset

 or copy existing templates to that directory in order to modify them.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A typical template looks like this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

The substitution mechanism
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
When the external material facility invokes an external program,
 it is done on the basis of a command defined in the template configuration file.
 These commands can contain various macros that are expanded before execution.
 Execution always take place in the directory of the containing document.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Also,
 whenever external material is to be displayed,
 the name will be produced by the substitution mechanism,
 and most other commands in the template definition support substitution as well.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The available macros are the following:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You may ask why there are so many path macros.
 There are mainly two reasons:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Relative and absolute file names should remain relative or absolute,
 respectively.
 Users may have reasons to prefer either form.
 Relative names are useful for portable documents that should work on different machines,
 for example.
 Absolute names may be required by some programs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
\SpecialChar LaTeX
 treats relative file names differently than \SpecialChar LyX
 and other programs in nested included files.
 For \SpecialChar LyX
,
 a relative file name is always relative to the document that contains the file name.
 For \SpecialChar LaTeX
,
 it is always relative to the master document.
 These two definitions are identical if you have only one document,
 but differ if you have a master document that includes part documents.
 That means that relative filenames must be transformed when presented to \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
 Fortunately \SpecialChar LyX
 does this automatically for you if you choose the right macros.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
So which path macro should be used in new template definitions?
 The rule is not difficult:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Use 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
$$AbsPath
\end_layout

\end_inset

 if an absolute path is required.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Use 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
$$AbsOrRelPathMaster
\end_layout

\end_inset

 if the substituted string is some kind of \SpecialChar LaTeX
 input.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Else use 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
$$AbsOrRelPathParent
\end_layout

\end_inset

 in order to preserve the user's choice.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are special cases where this rule does not work and e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset

g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset

relative names are needed,
 but normally it will work just fine.
 One example for such a case is the command 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
ReferencedFile latex "$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.pstex_t"

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The external material feature interfaces with a lot of external programs and does so automatically,
 so we have to consider the security implications of this.
 In particular,
 since you have the option of including your own filenames and/or parameter strings and those are expanded into a command,
 it seems that it would be possible to create a malicious document which executes arbitrary commands when a user views or prints the document.
 This is something we definitely want to avoid.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
However,
 since the external program commands are specified in the template configuration file only,
 there are no security issues if \SpecialChar LyX
 is properly configured with safe templates only.
 This is so because the external programs are invoked with the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
execvp
\end_layout

\end_inset

-system call rather than the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
system
\end_layout

\end_inset

 system-call,
 so it's not possible to execute arbitrary commands from the filename or parameter section via the shell.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This also implies that you are restricted in what command strings you can use in the external material templates.
 In particular,
 pipes and redirection are not readily available.
 This has to be so if \SpecialChar LyX
 should remain safe.
 If you want to use some of the shell features,
 you should write a safe script to do this in a controlled manner,
 and then invoke the script from the command string.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
It is possible to design a template that interacts directly with the shell,
 but since this would allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary commands by writing clever filenames and/or parameters,
 we generally recommend that you only use safe scripts that work with the 
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\begin_layout Plain Layout
execvp
\end_layout

\end_inset

 system call in a controlled manner.
 Of course,
 for use in a controlled environment,
 it can be tempting to just fall back to use ordinary shell scripts.
 If you do so,
 be aware that you 
\emph on
will
\emph default
 provide an easily exploitable security hole in your system.
 Of course it stands to reason that such unsafe templates will never be included in the standard \SpecialChar LyX
 distribution,
 although we do encourage people to submit new templates in the open source tradition.
 But \SpecialChar LyX
 as shipped from the official distribution channels will never have unsafe templates.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Including external material provides a lot of power,
 and you have to be careful not to introduce security hazards with this power.
 A subtle error in a single line in an innocent looking script can open the door to huge security problems.
 So if you do not fully understand the issues,
 we recommend that you consult a knowledgeable security professional or the \SpecialChar LyX
 development team if you have any questions about whether a given template is safe or not.
 And do this before you use it in an uncontrolled environment.
