I think \bm and \boldsymbol are not "natively" supported so you have to make LaTeX happy yourself (i.e. add braces if there is more than one thing). On the other hand, the \text* and \math* font changes are supported and add braces if necessary automatically. Andre' PS: Please quote only the relevant parts of the message you are responding to.

Newbie: linuxdoc and forced page breaks
I'm putting together about a 20-page help doc for pdf and html output using the linuxdoc (article) template. I like the linuxdoc pdflatex output (bookmarks, links, standard fonts etc) but can't force a page break at the start of a new section. I've tried the Layout | Paragraph setting and inserting a \pagebreak TeX code (cribbed from somewhere via Google). The first has no effect and the second just seems to embed the literal text of the code I type. I believe the code is correct, because if I export to Latex and manually add the code I get a page break (but no TOC etc). Google and the mailing archives don't seem to have anything dealing with this particular problem. I'm guessing the SGML style-sheet for linuxdoc is the issue, but since I know next to nothing about SGML or TeX I'm out of my depth there. I've tried DocBook and book templates, but the pdf output doesn't seem as nice. Should I just accept I'm trying to make linuxdoc do something it isn't supposed to?

fancyhdr
Hi, does anyone know whether the fancyhdr package when invoked can be overriden by other latex commands to allow the header/footer to be formated by you? I was playing with using Herbert Voss's trick to get a table into a header via fancyhdr, but I seem to lose control over the table. Is fancyhdr necessary to put figs and tables into a header/footer or can this be done by other means? thanks in advance. Rob

Well it inserts "\pagebreak_top" in the .lyx file, I just don't get anything
happening. If I get a chance I'll try an older RPM and see if I can reproduce
it there.

...but I didn't know about the space/brackets. It doesn't seem to make a
difference though,
\pagebreak{}
becomes (in an exported .tex file)
$\backslash$pagebreak$\{$$\}$
Which looks to me like it's been deliberately escaped.
The .lyx file contains:
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
pagebreak{}
\end_inset
Which looks reasonable to the uneducated (me) except maybe for the Standard
layout.

Ah! thank you - multi-pass to resolve the references of course. Should have
paid more attention to the output of pdflatex, but LyX redirected it to
/dev/null so I ignored it.
A small shell-script to do some search & replace, a loop to call pdflatex and
I can finally get my sections to start new pages. Good enough for the moment.
Thanks very much Helge.

Got a work-around for the moment anyway. The information you are looking for is in /usr/share/linuxdoc-tools/dist/linuxdoc-tools/latex2e/mapping there you should modify + "\n\\section" to + "\n\\pagebreak\n\\section" Notice that this is untested, but it should be what you want. > Thanks Does it work this way? -- José Abílio

help please. What i have written seems lost!
Hello, I am using LyX 1.1.6fix4 on Gnu?Linux Debian. I have just finished in writing an about twenty pages document with inside about twenty ".eps" pictures. I have tried to see it by C-T and C-D. I have have the following message (more or less) "file/document empty" with only a part of the first page displyed. After several tries, I have rebooted the machine and restarted LyX. Now the document appear with very very small characters and the C-T shows only a portion of the first page but now lists three pages as available on the left. C-D the same. What can I do? Some help would be very appreciated. Bye Carlo

You can download the eps file from http://www.iit.upco.es/~oscar/download/fnflm_p.0 and the original metapost file from http://www.iit.upco.es/~oscar/download/fnflm_p.mp 4. This means that I must generate every metapost file to be included in lyx by menas of: mpost '\prologues :=1; input file.mp' in order to ensure that they have a prologues :=1; line mustn't I? No, just put prologues := 1; in the beginning of your Metapost source file (.mp). I meant a more automatic solution. The problem is I produce metapost files from several applications, mainly xfig, gnuplot, and metagraf. Most of the times it is not possible to control that they produce the metapost files with the prologues:=1; line added. So every time I need to include these files in lyx I must edit the file and add the line, which is a pain, so i was thinking about a shell script to convert 0 to ps to be used in lyx or something that allows me to substitute "mpost foo.mp" by something that add the line and run mpost. Before lyx-1.2.3 I have never had this problem and i am forced to modify the metapost files just to be included in lyx. So there are any way to define a generic extension format for number extensions in the conversion preferences of lyx? Could I define a regexp in the format conversion preferences like (\d)+? The problem has appeared because now lyx doesn't like these files despite the fact lyx likes before and moreover if i export the latex file without adding prologues=1 at all it works nicely. So I must add the prologues line just because lyx doesn't like the file just to rendering or produce the view.
