This is 1.4. There is no small space in 1.3, you have to use ERT.

Thanks, Helge,

It does exactly as you say with the
  «The word was  » [I'll call F style]
quoting style, but not with the 
 ``The word was `foo' ''[I'll call E style]

style.

Here's the lyx for my E style example:

  \begin_inset Quotes eld
  \end_inset 
  
  The word was

  \begin_inset Quotes els
  \end_inset 
  
  foo

  \begin_inset Quotes ers
  \end_inset 
  
  \begin_inset Quotes erd
  \end_inset 
  
   he said.


And here's the dvi:
...foo

The lyx for the F style has "fld" in place of "eld" etc., and it does
indeed produce this dvi with LyX 1.3.6:
...foo

So, apparently it's a bug, at least in LyX 1.3.6, with the E style quotes
but not the F style; I didn't test all the other possibilities.

If you have time, could you verify whether the bug exists in LyX 1.4
for the E style quotes?
 


The bug exist in lyx 1.4 too, unfortunately. Things look fine on
screen, but a closing single quote followed by a closing double quote
(i.e. after the word "foo") looks like the opposite (a closing double
followed by a closing single) in the output. Ugly.

The user can work around this by inserting a small space between the
single and double closing quote though.



 


The spacing should be correct too.  If it isn't note that both
lyx 1.3 and lyx 1.4 have "small spaces" in the insert menu.
   



I can't find a "small space" in my LyX 1.3.6 Insert->Special Character
menu.  I have these choices:
 


Sorry, I was wrong. There is no small space in lyx 1.3.  You can
use ERT to insert a \thinspace{} though.

The best is to use the csquotes package instead of LyX's single/double

I think the reason is that the babel package has to be loaded before jurabib.
Try \usepackage{babel} before \usepackage[bibformat=numbered]{jurabib}.

Re: pagebreaks and labeling

[Jose Capco]

Ok, I found out that this thing with labeling and
referencing the label may be some lyx bug. I am using
still 1.3.5 (due to compatibility issues with win98, I
cant use 1.3.6 yet) ... When I compile the tex export
of my lyx file, I get the references correctly in my
dvi. But when I allow lyx to produce the dvi, I almost
always get a "??" for the references until maybe I
dont know.. say 10 or more compilation (each
compilation involving quiting lyx and recompiling the
whole document again).

LaTeX does require recompiling every now and then
(since the labeling must be resequenced), and it is
common of LaTeX to produce "??" on references if you
don't recompile.. but after the second compilation the
whole stuff should be alright, which is not the case
for lyx.

Sincerely,
Jose Capco

In the amsmath package, when one starts a new section

almost in the end of the page (you get a one line
section title that resides in the end of the page

math messes up with justification

[Jose Capco]

Dear list,

Here is another issue I want to resolve which I can
usually solve if I use LaTeX. Somehow LaTeX does not
understand when to put a formula in a new line when
justifying (thus the need of force linebreaks
sometimes).. sometimes I write a formula and half of
the formula resides in the next line or the formula
surpasses the allowed margin, which makes it confusing
to the reader. Fortunately, I can avoid these or at
least be able to solve this when writing pure TeX,
since after compilation I get hbox warnings that tell
me about these stuffs... usually I resolve the problem
by linebreaking where the formula starts and usually
the justification turns alright in TeX. ...

Now Im not sure if this is a LyX thing or a TeX
thing.. but now when I linebreak on formulae, I dont
get the justification and end up having a big gap
between my last line and the right margin and then a
new line with the formula and etc. (I want the formula
to be inline and not display, since its a short
formula). Is there a way to resolve this problem? I
know linebreak is like forcing it, but there is no
other way I know to make my formula appear in one line
and not exceed the margin.

Sincerely,
Jose Capco

It doesn't sound like your problem is similar: if all other documents

not to blame.

i understand that you are displeased with such a "son of a bitch"

introducing forced page breaks in this way is a word thing. just flipping
though the latex companion, which i have next to me, i see several such
"SOBs". maybe you are looking at your document with "word" eyes and not
latex eyes? and perhaps you should be content with the "SOB"?

Daniel,

Beamer is a very nice class for presentations, and it has support for
LyX. Install it and look at its manual, which also illustrates the way
it can be used inside LyX. Furthermore, you have some examples at:

The Manual of "Beamer" explains it very well. The author also offers

I pasted some Chinese into lyx window and some of the characters are
garbled. 

I tried to build div file to view and I got this error:

Dan,

  Two other responses told you where to learn about the beamer class, but
they forgot to answer your question.

  Most presentations today use a computer and lcd projector to provide the
visual aids, which we continue to call "slides." In the Microsoft world
speakers seem to be limited to PowerPoint for their slides. In the linux
world there are many choices: the three most common are OpenOffice.org's
Impress, MagicPoint (mgp123), and LaTeX/LyX. The last one, of course, is far
superior to all of the above. :-)

  LyX allows us to prepare the slides as we would preprae an article, report,
or book. Each type of document requires a class that defines the layout of
each page (or slide) as well as the entire document.

  In the LaTeX arena are several classes for slide preparation: seminar,
prosper, foiltex, and beamer. Probably more of which I am unaware. For me,
beamer is the easiest to learn and use and it produces outstanding visuals
with the usualy professional layout design for which we all use LyX/LaTeX.

  The beamer docs instruct us how to install under LyX as well as under
LaTeX. There is a well-documented tutorial and complete instructions. And, of
course, there's this mail list as well as a beamer-specific one.

  I've used beamer to prepare the slides for two public presentations over
the past month. I've inserted tables within a slide frame, created graphics
using tgif (which are included as .eps files) and PSTricks (compiled with
ps4pdf before being inserted into the document), and used the full range of
tools to create sections and sub-sections. The output is a .pdf file and is
displayed using acroread (or the Windoze equivalent). Because the preparation
is done with TeX as the foundation, the output is great and we have control
over almost everything except the reaction of the audience.

HTH,

Rich

Whilst everyone is recommending beamer (which I'm using myself btw), I just 
want to mention that there is an alternative package, which is told to be (at 
least) as powerful, called powerdot (f.k.a. ha-prosper):

http://stuwww.uvt.nl/~hendri/index.html?/~hendri/Downloads/powerdot.html&mainframeha

It also features a LyX layout file and uses PSTricks.

You should have a look at powerdot new LaTeX class from Hendri Adriaens 
and Christopher Ellison (first release was this summer), which to me is 
very much easier and instinctive to use than beamer and also very 
powerful (interactive table of contents on slides, easy overlays 
creations, powerful template system to easily develop new styles, and 
much more). Additionnaly, powerdot provides LyX support ;)

Re: pagebreaks and labeling

[Martin A. Hansen]

IMHO one should avoid forced page breaks. latex goes to great lengths to do
page breaking in a typographically pleasing way, and i feel that a key-combo
would only encourage forced page breaks.

perhaps the need for a forced page break is better solved in a different
way?

Although I Generally like to force new major sections to start on a new page
too, you can be a little gentler and ask LaTeX not to make widows[1] or
orphans[2] most of the time anyway. The LaTeX way is to make it a penalty to
create such a line, using \clubpenalty and \widowpenalty [3]. 
I always put in my preamble:
\widowpenalty=1
\clubpenalty=1
\raggedbottom

(don't remember why, but the raggedbottom seemed to help the situation I
had.)

(1) PDF_to_include is a short file that I created for the purpose of
the test.  I try to include it into the otherfile with the command
\includepdf

(2) File_that_includes_other_file shows the symptoms:
(a) if I load the lyx fil into lyx, and use "View" or "Export" via
pdflatex, I can't get a PDF out of it.
(b) if I export the Latex, it produces the tex file in the archive
(c) if I do pdflatex from the command line or from Texshop, I can
easily produce the PDF you have here --- the PDF I would expect.

I have noticed a new thing: if I comment out the ERT \includepdf
statement, (but still keep pdfpages in the preamble), everything works
as expected.

Sorry, yes, I have updated latex.  I am using the most recent (of a
few days ago) version from fink unstable.  I didn't suspect latex,
because everything works fine from the command line and texshop
but I guess I should, because it's the only thing that has changed.

pdflatex --version tells me:
pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.21a-2.2

fink describe tetex tells me:
tetex-3.0-1

Errmmm... I could, but I'll have to hunt around for some info on how
to do that.  I'll get back.

Thanks.  D

These were really nice.

Is it possible to get a .tar.gz of this directory?

Re: jurabib from within lyx

This worked, thanks.

I now have a few more questions:
1.  Is it possible to get a footnote reference any way other than inserting ERT 
and writing "\footfullcite{REF}"?  (the Insert->Citation menu entry does not 
produce a useful citation reference in the final document)
2.  When I did get it to work using the ERT method above, the footnote 
reference was poorly formatted.  There was no punctuation between the author's 
name and the title.  The reference was far better formatted in the actual 
bibliography.  Is there any way to get the proper formatting in the footnote 
reference?

Thanks, 
Lachlan

This is the preferred way, but sometimes, LaTeX still produces widows. Instead 
of forced page breaks, you can use conditional page breaks in this case, 
which only break pages when a given amount of space is not provided:

% In Preamble
\def\condbreak#1{\vskip 0pt plus #1\pagebreak[3]\vskip 0pt plus -#1\relax}

and in the document, e.g.
\condbreak{2\baselineskip}
inserts a pagebreak when there is less then 2 lines below.

Hello Marius,

this is a known bug, a fix has already been proposed. Thanks for reporting.
