Your university almost certain specifies a particular citation style. On the Language section, change it to English (Australian) or English (UK) if your not in the ’ol US of A. This sets it so that the margin is wider on the outside-edge of each page, so it looks right when bound as a book. Tick the Two-sided document check-box under Page Layout. This was different than the default for me. On the font section, change the default family base font size to what ever your university requires. Open up the settings of the chapter document, and set the document class to Book, and in the master document field, point it at your main.lyx document The steps for creating the chapter are:Ĭreate a new empty LyX document and save it to a folder with the chapter within your thesis directory.Īdd the document to your main document using the include procedure described above.
I created all the chapters initially by just copying the first one I created, but you could do it in a more organised way using LyX templates.
I will walk through the creation of a single child document here. This is not necessary, but it seemed like a good idea to keep the child documents in a folder together with any figures used by that document. In my case I put each child document in it’s own folder.
