Summary : The need is to create a LaTeX/LyX book template as close as possible of an existing model. The template shall be able to be loaded from LyX in a Linux environment. Details : We have a book under MS Word, and will have a model for paper edition. The model is going to be built with InDesign and we will have it and also a pdf. From the contract with the paper editor, we remain owner of the model. We want by ourselves to perform the numeric edition and numeric sales. So we would like to develop a LaTeX template that reproduce closely the paper model. And we want different parametrisations of this model to be able to generate pdf and ePubs for 5", 6", 9", 10", A4 e-readers. The job is not to make a new numeric model of the book, the job is just the LaTeX template with the different parametrisations. We will provide the part of the pdf, say the 20 first pages and the 10 last ones. We will tune the details with the entire book ourselves. Date : not before we get the pdf model, in 6 to 10 weeks, but we need quickly a cost to take decisions. Skills : LaTeX / LyX template design and parametrisation Our criteria : LyX LaTeX experience, LaTeX templates design on-line showroom, cost Language: English, or French

Hello, I am a frequent LyX user, and in fact the creator of the Greek locale. I have never created any LaTeX classes or styles before, but if i got your project correctly, it can all be done with some extra LaTeX commands in the LaTeX preamble of LyX. In order for the LyX file to reproduce the InDesign output pdf, you will basically need to know: 1. fonts 2. font sizes 3. page sizes and margins 4. indents All these can be parametrised in LyX preamble by commenting or uncommenting certain commands. What is important is whether the inDesign pdf will contain graphics and whether you would like their size adjusted to the size of the page. That part, i am not certain i can do, but i could give it a try. I would appreciate (without you having to accept my offer) if you could give me a sample pdf of what the final output might look like, and let me experiment on the ideas i have. If i manage to produce something acceptable, then you may consider hiring me. The cost, in any case, won't exceed 50euros. Thanks, Ulysses
