Document templates for LaTeX / LyX

This repository contains a collection of templates for the LyX software. LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of the document (WYSIWYM: What You See Is what You Mean) rather than on the appearance (WYSIWYG).

The templates are based on the KOMA-scripts package. They include additional configurations for fonts, colors, minimal document structures, default settings for some programming langages (Java or Matlab), settings for french language...

Installation

Templates are located in the "templates" directory. Each template corresponds to a LyX file.

To install a template, it suffices to copy the corresponding LyX file into the appropriate directory:

• For LyX versions previous uo to 2.3.*, the "templates" directory is that of the current LyX installation (typical windows location: C:\Program Files\LyX-2.3\Resources\templates, please update to your local configuration).
• from LyX versions 2.4, it is possible to use user directory: ~\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.4\templates

Usage

From LyX, simply click on File -> Open With Template... and select the appropriate template. Starting from version 2.4, it is possible to filter user templates from system templates.

List of templates

The templates are organized in a hierarchy of directories that allows to sort them according to the target langauge (english, french...) and the type of document (articles, reports...).
