I will do it tonight, and the update will also fix the wrong package type of

Layout for sport book

[Lars Olesen]

Hi,

I'm looking for a layout for a sport book. The book contains
theoretical text and uses bibtex - that is not a problem. But the book
should also contain exercises (some with pictures, some without).
Anybody knows a class doing this? Hope you can help.

problems with lyx 1.4.1

[Tino Langer]

Hello,

I have some problems with the new Version of Lyx 1.4.1. When I click to 
an document-embedded float-area (figure) to open it, the documents 
scrolls to some other place. So I can not it. How to prevent this behavior?

How do I remove trailing dot after table/figure number in komascript added when appendix is added?

[john]

Hi, I've been using the Book (koma-script) layout. To begin with it
output Table and Figure headers with a colon after the table number,  e.g.

"Table 3.4: Title of Table"

This is fine. However, now that I have added an appendix, it outputs
tables with a trailing dot after the table number but before the colon.
For example

"Table 3.4.: Title of Table".

It seems rather untidy to have a "." and a ":" right next to each other.
Is there any way I can get rid of the trailing dot without removing
the appendix?

Re: How do I remove trailing dot after table/figure number in komascript added when appendix is added?

[Sara Stymne]

Hi!

Adding 'pointlessnumbers' as a package option should remove the unwanted
dots. This is done through the layout->document menu in LyX 1.3.*.

writing texinfo manuals with lyx

[Pete Phillips]

Is it possible to write texinfo manuals with lyx ?  I am running 1.4.1,
and can't see an appropriate document class. I have the sgmltool
packages installed, and can use the linuxdoc article if necessary, but
that seems a bit restricted (footnotes for example don't appear to work).

Many thanks

Re: Equation numbering and LyX 1.4

Thank you very much! The solution you gave me in the first email was OK, but 
when I cut and pasted your suggestions I got the first line commented

\numberwithin{section}{chapter}

and because of the wordwrap, I could not realize it immediately! May I suggest 
to avoid such a wordwrap for the LaTeX dialog and insert and scrolling bar 
instead?
Thanks again

I can confirm that behaviour. It seems to occur mainly when the text
cursor is at a different place than the inset that you click on. Try to
set the cursor before the inset and then click to open/close it.

As far as I have observed, this didn't happen with 1.4.0.

Re: LyX 1.4.1 is released

[mel b]

Hi all,

thanks a million for this new lyx !

Just installed it on windows, and it works smoothly (that is, once I have
updated MikTex, because I had an error caused by hyperref before that).

One tiny remark though: the icon links all refer to lyx.exe which wasn't
actually created, so no icons were used. I changed them to refer to
lyx.1.4.x.exe instead, and it works.

Building/Previewing PDF files with Asymptote code

[F. M. Pereira]

Hi,

I would like to use LyX to edit a LaTeX file in which
a Asymptote code is embedded. Normally, I run the
following commands to build the document:

latex file.tex (which generates the .aux and .asy
files)
asy file.asy (to compile the embedded asymptote code)
latex file.tex (to finish the building)

So, the "asy" file is called in the same way "bibtex"
is. I would like to know if there is any way to call
the "asy" automatically when I export the file from
LyX in PDF form or when I preview it.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Flavio.

Have a look at the prosper.layout file. Do you see somewhere in the file

There is 1 crash with 1.4.1 so far, but it doesn't seem to be the same

How do I clean class settings?

[mario]

hello,

somehow I got extra options within the document class declaration:

\documentclass[croatian,english,italian,italian,12pt]{report}

How do I clean it (from lyx)?

If I try  Document Settings->Document Class->Class Settings->Options, 
I am able to add new options (see the double ¨italian¨ above), not to
get rid of any one. Also, is there a way to see the entire document
class declaration from within lyx? 

Also, somehow the word for the chapter header is displayed in english on
the lyx interface (¨chapter¨), in italian in the final .pdf/.dvi output
(¨Capitolo¨). Why? In this case, it is fine, but I would like to know
how to control that.

Also, is there a way to clean the lyx file from any command which is
going to correspond to a latex command, when I export lyx to tex? 
(I need to get rid of a number of \selectlanguage{english})

thanks a lot

Export to text has changed

[Jean-Pierre Chretien]

Hello,

I use the export to text function to provide asci layout of tables.
This worked fine with successive versions of LyX until 1.3.7:
+---+
| First columnSecond columnThird column |
+---+
| First line spans all three columns|
| Second line Some textSome text|
+---+

Some test outside table: blah blah blah blah blah blah 
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 


With lyx-1.4.0, the layout is broken, like this:


+-+
| 

First column

Second column

Third column |
+-+
| 

First line spans all three columns|
| 

Second line 

Some text

Some text|
+-+


Some test outside table: blah blah blah blah blah blah 
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 

Is there a new parameter tuning ascii output width ?
Should I post this in bugzilla ?

Kind regards

I don't know how \leftmark and \rightmark works.

If i don't redefine \chead and \rhead then the chapter is presented in the
header. that's ok, but chapters with no numbering are not displayed.

The easiest thing would be just a macro like "\thepage", which give's me
the name of the chapter.

They won't work for unnumbered chapters.
Here I define commands for unnumbered chapters:
this one sends the chapter title in the TOC and on both right and page headers,
but the page where the chapter begins:
\newcommand{\tocchap}[1]{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline
{}#1}\markboth{\textsc{#1}}{\textsc{#1}}\thispagestyle{plain}}
this one is the new \chapterstar to be used instead of \chapter*
\newcommand{\chapterstar}[1]{\chapter*{#1}\tocchap{#1}}
and the layout of the document is edited to get chapterstar in the style list.

>>The easiest thing would be just a macro like "\thepage", which give's me
>>the name of the chapter.

The command name is \chaptername, but it's more appropriate to use \chaptermark 
and
\leftmark command to manage these: \chaptermark defines the running header and 
\leftmark retrieves it,
see the Companion for explanantions.

I use fancyplain here, and a complete customization of the running headers for 
a report:
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{
\markboth{\textsc{\thechapter.\ #1}}{}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{
\markright{\textsc{\thesection\ #1}}}  

\rhead[\fancyplain{}{\it\leftmark}]{\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}}
\chead{}
\lhead[\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}]{\fancyplain{}{\it\rightmark}}

thank you for your code. it helps me to understand little more. the
following code makes what i want -- but not for chapters with no
numbering. why, please? how to fix?

\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{#1}{}}

i have just found a solution by myself. when i insert "\markboth{xxx}{}"
below the chapters without numbering (where "xxx" is the title of the
chapter), then the name of these special chapters are visible, too.

thank you

I don't see anything on the page or in the url indicating that it is a
wiki.  If I had, I would have just changed it.

horizontal line above and below titel-environment

[tceglare]

hello again,

how can i make a horizontal line above and below the title?

"Layout/Paragraph/Lines & Pagebreaks" does not work.

"\hrulefill" does not work, too. (the lines appear on a blank side before
the title page)

thank you your support,

tc

ps: lyx version 1.3.6

Re: horizontal line above and below titel-environment

[Richard Heck]

Well, one cheap way to do it is to put ERT in the title, e.g.:
   \hrulefill \\ This is the Title \\ \hrulefill
That gives me lines above and below. They're not spaced very well, but 
that could be resolved. I believe there's also a package that allows 
such customization.

Ok, I didn't understand if you referred to www.lyx.org/~jug/... or to some
other page.  I guess it's Juergen that controls this page:
http://www.lyx.org/~jug/

I've been waiting so long for character styles. Since 2000! No more textcolor 
workaround (but thanks for giving me that, Dekl!).

As soon as I complete "Twenty Eight Tales of Troubleshooting", and it's all 
complete except for a very few minor punctuation cleanups, I'll install 1.4.1 
on my Mandriva 2006, which currently has 1.3.5, and as far as I know, no 
character styles.

How does one install LyX 1.4.1? Can it be installed in /usr/local in such a 
way that it can coexist with my current 1.3.5? Are there any 
incompatibilities of which I should be aware?

THANK YOU ALL for including character styles!

Could you please sum up what character styles are, can be used for, and
how in LyX?

It is not possible currently to directly export texinfo. Doesn't
DocBook help?

http://bgu.chez-alice.fr/doc/db4lyx/ 2. XML and LyX
Exporting as XML

The above urls discusses some of these complex conversion issues
which may be helpful, depending on the depth of your interest.

Nick Thomas graciously contributed this recent conversion tool,

http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/Tools/LyX2OpenOffice
LyX->Latex->./ConvTex foofile->produces .sxw OpenOffice file.
Import to OpenOffice
I've also seen an OpenOffice export option from LyX.

OpenOffice has the option to Save As in DocBook [.xml] format.
Then one could use, DocBook-to-Texinfo Converter
http://docbook2x.sourceforge.net/

The fidelity of conversion/translation deteriorates with each
additional step, so the output always needs to be proofread.

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/19688/
The above post is sort of old. I don't know to what extent the
DocBook implementation features have been improved in LyX1.4.x
as I haven't seen a recent post about its success. I think
Matej Cepl has a strong interest in this area. Perhaps ask
him about tested encouraging advice?

I will do it tonight, and the update will also fix the wrong package type of
the common package (all instead of binary).

Section headings, unnumbered and flush left

[Mack Kuo]

Hello,

I am using Lyx for my thesis (report document class) and need the
section headings unnumbered and aligned flush left.  However, section
headings must still appear in the Table of Contents.  I used the
following command in the preamble to get rid of the numbers preceding
the section headings.

\renewcommand{\thesection}{}

However, it leaves a gap of about three spaces before the section
headings.  How can I fix this?

For example:

1.1 Introduction

becomes:

   Introduction

instead of:

Introduction

I don't want to use Section* instead of Section because I lose the
ability to navigate through my document from the main menu.

Re: LyX 1.4.1 is released

[K. Elo]

Hi,

since 1.4.0 I have a problem with LyX on my SuSE 10.0-OSS (i386) with
KDE 3.5.x: I can't use find/replace. There are no menu entries for this
function and hitting ctrl+f results in "unknown function". I seems not
to depend on the localisation (I have tried severeal languages, no
help). Upgrading to 1.4.1 did not solve this problem.

I have downloaded the rpm from Guru's ftp-server
(ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.0/RPMS/i686/),
because there are no x86-rpms for SuSE 10.0 (only x86_64) on the
LyX-server. The odd thing is, there are NO problems on a SuSE
10.0-OSS-64bit computer, the find/replace works as expected.

Any ideas?

Happy Easter!
Kimmo
