Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to Lyx and I would like to use it in order to write my Bachelor
Thesis within the next few months.
As the newbie I am - I've got some questions about different aspects, mostly
about a template I found online.
Starting with the template: It has been published as a template for the TU
Dresden at www.thesis-template.com I changed a lot according to my needs but
experienced some problems:
1.) The whole document (excepting the title) should have headlines. But somehow
there are no headlines at the TOC and the following page. What do I have to
change in order to get headlines there as well?
2.) a) How can I change the appearance of various indexes (such as list of
figures, tables and abbreviations) in the TOC?
Consider e.g. the bibtex-index: I can do a right-click and mark the
checkbox and
it's listed. But what to do for the other indexes?
b) Moreover, is it even possible to assign them a chapter number? Let's
say my
7th chapter is 'Indexes' containing list of figures at 7.1 and list of
abbreviations at 7.2 and so on... How to achieve that?
And finally just a minor problem - rather a question:
3.) How to insert a non-breaking hyphen? Is there any better way than using
mbox? I read that there's a command for LaTeX (~-) or something similar. But
this one's not working in Lyx. Suggestions anyone?
I would really appreciate if someone might help me on these problems.
Thanks in Advance and have a nice day.
Sunny regards from Berlin, Germany.
I took only a quick look at the template and can not answer your
questions but wanted to give you some general advice. The template is
based on KOMA-Script, which has a very well written German manual,
which I highly recommend. Many of your questions regarding
customization are KOMA-related questions in the end and for many of
them you will need to put LaTeX-code either in the preamble or via ERT.
The KOMA-handbook will help you to find out, what code to put where.
And, by the way, if you do not need to use the template from Dresden in
Berlin, then you might as well make your own template, based of
preferrable KOMA-Book or Memoir (rather than the standard classes).
Simply start with the basic documents and slowly set up your document
the way you need it.
Snowy greetings from Vienna,
