I use elsarticle template with LyX,

(document ->settings->document class ->Elsevier )

and I want to prepare an article in two column model.

  1. How can I place a one-column-abstract and after that two-column-section in a elsarticle template with LyX?
  2. How can I do the same things for the image? (image one column and the section two columns).

Thank you.

Two column

elsarticle.cls provides various class options for different layout, ie, for onecolumn, twocolumn, specific citation styles etc. A very good documentation is available at elsdoc.

Here, you may try either with 3p,twocolumn or 5p,twocolumn option. 5p will give you more text area in the document.

In Lyx, the class options (5p,twocolumn) may be given in Document -> Settings -> Document Class Custom field.

This will provide you twocolumn text after the abstract section.

Figure

Insert your figure and right click on float: Figure which is shown just above the figure box. Then select settings -> Span columns.

  • @hajerjomaa You don't have to give \documentclass line in Lyx, sorry for the confusion. In Lyx, the class options (5p,twocolumn) may be given in Document -> Settings -> Custom field.

  • With regard to the figure span, see the original Answer. I have edited my Answer to reflect this.
