How to get an tufte-book style like title block (capitalized sans serif)
in Handout (Tufte) in LyX:
The possible document options of both the tufte-book and -handout classes
and other features can be looked after, of course, in the sample-book.pdf,
see:
http://tufte-latex.googlecode.com/files/sample-book-3.5.0.pdf
And other questions on the tufte-latex classes or feature requests might
better be discussed in the Mailing List / Forum of the tufte-latex project
at:
http://groups.google.com/group/tufte-latex?hl=en
Nevertheless,
after the information how to get the tufte classes working in LyX, already
given in this thread, and to make around this thread on "Tufte layout?", I
would like to give to all interested a last hint about a document option
alternative in tufte-handout which even me discovered only some day ago:
If in handout you want to get a tufte-book style like title block
(capitalized sans serif) instead of the handout default roman italic, you
have to choose the document option
sfsidenotes
- in LyX to type into the Document=>Options=>Document class pane, section
Class options => User defined (field).
This is coupled, for the time being, with typesetting the margin material
("footnotes", marginnotes etc.) also in sans serif.
(I had always put this doc options because of sans serif sidenotes and
discovered only now the possibility of getting roman italic title block
when deleting this sfsidenote option).
So far my final hint within this thread,
joachim

Betreff: Re: Tufte layout? Here the patched tufte-common.def!

as promised, here you get the information, how and where to get the
tufte-common.def file, patched by the developer for the use with LyX.
Call http://tufte-latex.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tufte-common.def
in your browser, save it as such (or .txt file and rename it then to
tufte-common.def) and put it on the place of the existing, overwriting it.
I. e. into your user _home_ "texmf" directory - on my Mac that is:
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/tufte-latex/
Might be that you have to create some of these sub-directories first.
Unfortunately I don't know which one and where it is in MiXTeX…
I understood that you have already installed the actuel LyX 1.6.5 (of
2009/12/05), so you need not to download the LyX layout files from the LyX
website.
Don't forget sudo texhash (on Mac) and LyX=>reconfigure,
then you should be ready to go with the tufte-latex classes in LyX!
Happy LxXing with tufte-latex!
