<div dir="ltr"><div>I have attempted to create my own CV Latex class based on another
template I downloaded and incorporate it into LyX. I've done this before
with my School's dissertation class long ago. I have done the following
(Linux):</div><div><ol><li>I downloaded the CV .cls file and I placed it in my LaTeX directory</li><li>I ran texhash to update</li><li>I created a LyX layout file (text below) and placed it in ~/.lyx/layouts/ and then reconfigured LyX and restarted the program</li><li>Created
a new file and under Document>Settings>Document Class I selected
my new CV class called "resume" and hit apply. LyX then says it's
converting the document to the new document class. <br></li></ol><div>After
these steps the pull down menu for the layout list does not populate
according to the new class. It appears populated as a standard article
class rather than the custom layout options from the CV class. If I add
in front matter and compile the document it does compile successfully
and things like name, address, phone are formatted correctly. So I know
that LyX can see the class and is using it to compile the document. I
can also import plain LaTeX and everything works but this just turns LyX
into a glorified TeX editor rather than what it should be doing. Below
is the contents of my layout file which is quite minimal:<br></div></div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br><div>#% comment line<br># \DeclareLaTeXClass{resume}<br>Input stdclass.inc</div></div></div></div></div><div><br></div><div>-Steve</div></div>
