Hi,
to complete the UserGuide I need explanations/informations about the following
items:
Tools->Preferences->Colors->
command inset
command inset backgroun
command inset frame
These three all have to do with insets like URL, that don't have any
text area associated with them. So put in a URL and change these and
you'll see what they do.
inset background
inset frame
Similar, but for general insets.
collapsable inset text
collapsable inset frame
Similar, but for collapsable insets like Footnote.
graphics background
button background
frame of button
button background under focus
LaTeX error
caption frame
Math
math corners
The little corners you see in math mode, surrounding an inset.
math background
The background for math insets.
math line
math frame
Math macro background
Similar but for macros.
top/bottom line
Shadow box
bottom area
previewed snippet
Tools->Preferences->Paths->
Backup directory
Where backups of saved files are stored, if LyX is set to do that.
LyXServer pipe
The pipe used for inter-process communication, e.g., with JabRef.
Probably should link to that part of the manual.
PATH prefix
Tools->Preferences->Language settings->Language->
Language package
Command start
Command end
Use babel
Global
Auto begin
Auto end
Tools->Preferences->Output->Printer->
Adapt output to printer
Ack! We had a long talk about this a while ago. See this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg119520.html.
Tools->Preferences->Converter
Converter File Cache
Whether to cache (save) the results of conversions. This would mean e.g.
that a graphic wouldn't have to be converted every time you open the
document: It could just be read from the cache.
Tools->Preferences->File formats->
I think all of this is in 3.5 of the (English) Customization manual. I'd
leave it there and link to it. If it's not all there, can you update it
based on what I'm about to write?
Document format
Whether this kind of file can contain a document (as opposed to a
graphic, or music file, or whatever).
Vector graphics format
Whether this kind of file format can contain vector graphics (as opposed
to raster graphics, etc).
Format
Whether the file format can be a vector graphics format (as opposed to a
raster graphics format)
GUI name
The name that appears on File>Export, View>, etc.
Shortcut
The shortcut associated with this format on those same menus.
Extension
The file extension for this kind of file (pdf, ps, etc).
Editor
The program you want to use to edit this kind of file (used when you can
do that from within LyX). Same goes for Viewer of course.
Tools->Preferences->File formats->Copiers->
Format
Reference 3.5.2 of the Customization guide.
============================
Document->Preferences->Fonts->
You mean Settings.
Base Size
The font size used for the document, in points.
Scale (%)
Say you're using 11pt with Palatino for the serif font, and you want to
use Helvetica for sans serif. This may look too big at 11pt, so you can
scale it down to 95%, so it looks right.
Use true Small Caps
This means to use an actual small caps font for small caps, as opposed
to fake small caps, which you get by scaling the lower case letters
down, more or less.
Use Old Style Figures
Old style figures are numerals, like "3", that descend below the
baseline. See
http://www.fonts.com/AboutFonts/Articles/fyti/OldstyleFigs.htm.
