How to write a CRPIT paper in lyx

Posted on August 5, 2006

LyxHow to write a CRPIT (Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology) paper in lyx:

  1. Make sure the harvard package is installed in Latex.
  2. Copy the CRPITStyle.cls class file available here to your localtexmf/tex/latex, and make sure you refresh the Latex database
  3. Copy CRPITStyle.layout into Lyx’s layout folder (C:\Program Files\LyX141\Resources\layouts for me)
  4. Open Lyx, Run Tools -> Reconfigure (you may also need to use Tools -> Tex Information -> Rescan)
  5. Unzip this file somewhere
  6. Open CRPITPaper.lyx
  7. Modify the file to your hearts content (this one is setup for VisHCI 2006)

Let me know if this doesn’t work for you, as it took me some mucking with refreshing Latex and Lyx to get it to work, so I may have missed something in my re-telling.

    I have a related, perhaps more general, question. How would you use a LaTeX style sheet (.sty) in LyX? Could you please go through the steps one needs to take in order to use a LaTeX style sheet in LyX?

    I would assume you do the following (fast solution = no layout file):

    Save style file in LaTeX folder
    Update LaTeX
    Use the preamble in LyX to include the style file

    Would it be possible for you to add some more meat to this description?

    Best,

    Ken
