In this chapter, we describe the procedures for creating and installing
new LyX layout and template files, as well as offer a refresher on correctly
installing new LaTeX document classes.
- Some definitions: a document class is a LaTeX file (usually ending in

- A layout file is a LyX file that corresponds to a LaTeX document class
- and that tells LyX how to
+\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

+backend formats
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
- things on the screen to make the display look something like the final
- printed page.
- More precisely, a layout file describes a
+ 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.

+Some commands are sufficiently complex that they are

\end_inset
- 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
- for that class.
- Templates are especially useful for things like journal manuscripts that
- are to be submitted electronically.
+, is contained in layout files.
\end_layout
-\begin_layout Section
-Installing a new LaTeX package
+\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

-Some installations may not include a LaTeX package that you would like to
- use within LyX.
- For example, you might need FoilTeX, a package for preparing slides or
- viewgraphs for overhead projectors.
- Modern LaTeX distributions like TeXLive (2008 or newer) or MiKTeX provide
- a user interface for that.
- For example on MiKTeX you start its program

+\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_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.
