Branch definition in .layout file
Hi, Short question, is it possible to put a branch definition in a .layout file? met vriendelijke groet / kind regards, Maarten Sanders
RE: Branch definition in .layout file
That was 'send' too fast: Let me make it more clear: is it possible to put (not use) a branch definition in a .layout file. Or, otherwise, can I create I file which I import in a document so that the branches are visible in the master document AND in all child documents?

RE: Beamer/pdflatex mystery
Paul, I have had a similar error on a mandrake 2005 system, though with ps2pdf. It turned out to be a problem with graphics and the ghostscript version. After I installed mandrake rpm ghostscript-8.15-16mdk.i586.rpm instead of 8.15-22 the problem was gone. Hope this gives you some pointers, Maarten > -Original Message- > From: Paul A.

Re: Crammed roman numerals in table of contents

Hi all,
I'm using a modified Memoir document class. I have 6 parts in the
book, and the parts numbering needs to be in the table of contents
as roman numerals. Unfortunately, III, IV and VI but up against
their respective part titles in the table of contents. Those
particular titles are short enough that the problem isn't the
length of the titles.
How can I put extra space between the number and the part title
within the table of contents?
Here's my kludge: put the following in the preamble:
\addtolength{\cftpartnumwidth}{.5em}
Adjust to suit.

RE: Branch definition in .layout file
That is true, But we have 'organic' documentation so in time -thus after the document is in use- the number of branches may grow. Then I still would like to keep the available branches in sync over a range of documents.

SVMult document class
Dear list, I was able to install svmult.cls to my system, and LyX does show svmult.cls in its LaTeX information window. Reconfiguring LyX, however, will not make it available as a document class. Any clue? Thanks, Axel

Re: Beamer/pdflatex mystery
Maarten, Thanks for the reply. I don't think graphics is the culprit in my case, since some of the buggered files contained no graphics (unless you count colored backgrounds for titles, but I'm pretty sure that does not require ghostscript or imagemagick). Still, I may take a crack at upgrading ghostscript and see if that cures the problem.

To service a student request , I loaded each one into Acrobat Pro 7 and used the menu option to enable commenting by Acrobat Reader. This leads Acrobat Pro to do arcane things (measured by a progress bar) and then write out a modified copy of the file.

Poking around with Pro's "preflight" tool (which I think is more or less analogous to chklatex), I got a message on the four recalcitrant files that the document structure was corrupt. So I returned to LyX and generated those four presentations using the straight PDF output option, rather than pdflatex. All four files passed visual muster, and Acrobat Pro was perfectly happy to enable commenting on all four. Other than considerable time wasted hunting the bug and work-around, the only (minor) problem is that the non-pdflatex versions are *much* bigger than their pdflatex cousins. I can't find anything that differentiates the winners from the losers here. It's not the presence of graphics (at least one of the four had none), it's not the presence of math insets (several of the 14 that worked had math insets), ...

Redefine chapter/section and subsection appearance
Hi, This is more latex, but probably someone has an answer quickly. I want chapter, section and subsections to appear like this (view with a monospace font): 1.Chapter Her starts the text More text. . . . 1.1 Section Some section text etc. So I want the numbering to appear in the margin. Are there any packacges that deal with this or do I need to redefine the section, subsection, chapter etc. commands? met vriendelijke groet / kind regards, Maarten Sanders

spacing before and after enumerate and other list environments
Hello, could anybody, please, point me to a resource with information how to set the spacing *before* and *after* list environments? The only references I found on the mailing list and on the Internet discuss the spacing between the items of a list. I was trying to change the distance by looking at parameters of the paragraphs surrounding the list environment but both have zero spacing below and above... Thank you! David
TeX version is 3.141592. pi?
Hi, Has anyone noticed that the current version of TeX is 3.141592. I'm having adversed reaction to this because I can't access the aastex macros. Has TeX been hacked yet? John E. Harbold

Has TeX > been hacked yet? I'm not sure what you're trying to say. If you're asking is the above TeX version number expected, then yes, it's expected. Knuth it would be funny (and probably reasonable) to indicate improvements in TeX by arriving at the exact answer asymptotically. That's mathematicians for you. -- Angus

No, not to that page. Not unless you use the LyX 1.3.6 executable. Feel free to add it to the 1.3.7pre page. > It will be good if you can upload > the installers to ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.7/ . Not until 1.3.7 is released please. -- Angus

I get this with tweaklist package. I found it in InterNet and when I installed correctly it I can get global control over list, enumerate, itemize, enumerate* Spacing above and below : \topsep \parsep If I can remember correctly.
