-When you installed LyX, you also installed layout files for almost 100 different
- document types (though some of these are DocBook, rather than LaTeX).

-So what can you do if LyX does not include a layout file for your fancy
- new document class? Create your own.
- If your new document class is based upon, or very similar to, one for which
- there already is a layout file, which is true in many cases, then creating
- a new layout file may be as easy as copying a file and changing a few lines.
- In the other cases, you may have more work to do.
- But while you will have to learn a bit, it is not really that difficult,
- and many of the people who contribute to the users' mailing list have a
- great deal of experience they are willing to share.
