+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+First, let us a say a few words about how one ought to think about the relation
+ between LyX and LaTeX.
+ The thing to understand is that, in a certain sense, LyX doesn't know anything
+ about LaTeX.
+ Indeed, from LyX's point of view, 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.
+ LaTeX is, of course, a particularly important format, but very little of
+ the information LyX has about 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 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 CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.cls
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+, 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 LyX constructs---paragraphs with their corresponding styles,
+ certain sorts of insets, etc---and the corresponding LaTeX constructs.
+ Almost everything LyX knows about
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.cls
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+, for example, is contained in the file
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.layout
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ 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 CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+stdsections.inc
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+, which just gets `included' in
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.layout
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+,
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle: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 CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+stdsections.inc
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ tells LyX how paragraphs that are marked with the Section, Subsection,
+ etc, styles can be translated into corresponding LaTeX commands.
+ The
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.layout
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ file basically just includes several of these
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+std*.inc
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ files.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Defining the LyX--LaTeX correspondence is not, however, the only thing layout
+ files do.
+ Their other job is to define how the 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 LyX how to translate a certain paragraph style into LaTeX does
+ not tell LyX how to display it; conversely, telling LyX how to display
+ a certain paragraph style does not tell LyX how to translate it into LaTeX,
+ let alone tell LaTeX how to display it.
+ So, in general, when you define a new LyX construct, you must always do
+ two quite separate things: (i)
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+tell LyX how to translate it into LaTeX, and (ii)
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+tell LyX how to display it.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Much the same is true, of course, as regards LyX's other backend formats,
+ though XHTML is in some ways different, because in that case LyX
+\emph on
+is
+\emph default
+ able, to some extent, anyway, to use information about how it should display
+ a paragraph on the screen to output information (in the form of CSS) about
+ how the paragrpah should be displayed in a browser.
+ Even in this case, however, the distinction between what LyX does internally
+ and how things are rendered externally remains in force, and the two can
+ be controlled separately.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Some definitions: a document class is a LaTeX file (usually ending in
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
status collapsed
can be used somewhat interchangeably, but it is better to refer to the
file as the layout, and the thing living in LyX's memory as the text class.
A template file is simply a LyX document that contains a set of predefined
- entries for a given document class---entries that are generally required
+ entries for a given document class—entries that are generally required
for that class.
Templates are especially useful for things like journal manuscripts that
