HOW TO CREATE A NEW TEMPLATE
============================
Templates are almost usual LyX file that are saved by LyX itself.
The strength is on "almost".
LyX stores some properties in a file, for example:
\textclass dinbrief
\language german
\inputencoding default
\fontscheme default
\epsfig dvips
\papersize a4paper
\paperfontsize 12
\baselinestretch 1.00
\secnumdepth 3
\tocdepth 3
\paragraph_separation skip
\quotes_language german
\quotes_times 2
\paperorientation portrait
\papercolumns 9
\papersides 1
\paperpagestyle plain
Some of these may be very reasonable for a certain template. In the
case of a dinbrief-template this might be the papersize, the language
and the quotes-settings, since it is a german-only template. But it
wouldn't make much sense to set the fontscheme or the inputencoding,
since a user might have customized this already like he/she wanted it
to be.
So please delete all the lines of a new template with your favorite
text editor (for example ed, ex or vi) that you don't want to set
explicit for this template. LyX will use the user's default-values
(defined in lyxrc) if a property isn't defined in the file itself.
