Unequivocally force first reference to same page as the referred item?

[Thangalin]

Hi,

I posted a message to tex.stackexchange.com:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/9496/unequivocally-force-first-reference-to-same-page-as-the-referred-item

Is there a way for LyX to force LaTeX (or TeX) to put the first figure
(listing, or table) cross-reference on the same page as the referenced item?

Thank you!
Dave

Minutes typeseting

[Xabier Abasolo]

Hello,

I was looking for templates to take or write minutes, and I found this: 
CTAN home   / tex-archive
 / macros
 / latex
 / contrib
 / minutes 

Now my questions are: 
*   Is this package suitable for LyX? 
*   How can I add this package to LyX? I tryed with FILE / IMPORT /
LATEX, but I´ve got several Latex errors…

Thanks.

Making paragraphs stick together

[Barak Shoshany]

Hello,

Sometimes I want to force two paragraphs to be on the same page. This may be
done with Ctrl+Enter and the end of the first paragraph, but then the
spacing between them is too small. How can I make two paragraphs (or maybe
even a paragraph and an image, table, etc.) always be on the same page, no
matter what?

Thanks,
Barak

Try this in the preamble:

\renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{0.8} 
% Allows up to 80% at the bottom of the page be floats
\renewcommand{\textfraction}{0.07} % allow minimal text w. figs

Lyx2 + latex-tufte -- recurring error on rendering to DVI

[Michael Gilbert]

Hi —

I am a newcomer to this list. Please forgive me in advance for missteps. This 
looks like a really great community and I look forward to learning fast. 

I'm running Lyx2.0b3 on Mac OSX 10.6.6. I have the latest installation from Mac 
TeX and (using TeX Live Utility) did an update of all packages. I started 
several documents using the plain article class, using the following 
environments: Standard, Title, Abstract, Section, Itemize, Paragraph, and Float 
(Figure). Each has some images and a few local styles (just using the LyX 
interface). Now I want to start making the document more attractive and I want 
to see what I can do with the latex-tufte class. I switched the class and then 
the errors started as soon as I try to view the DVI. Basically, I get several 
repetitions of this pattern in the LaTeX Errors window:

! Argument of \MakeTextLowercase has an extra }.
! Paragraph ended before \MakeTextLowercase was complete.
! You can't use `math shift character $' after \the.
! Argument of \@skipmath has an extra }.
! Paragraph ended before \@skipmath was complete.

All five of those lead to a highlight of the same portion of text in the 
document. Looking at the source for that portion (and the surrounding source), 
I don't see any evidence of the errors listed. In fact, I don't see any of the 
commands (is that the right word?) listed. I am modestly skilled at some 
scripting languages, but a TeX newbie, so I don't really know where to dig. I 
can add that, when I look at View Complete Log, there is actually a larger 
pattern. (The overview LaTeX Errors window seems to leave some out.) Listing 
only the error lines themselves (I assume those are the ones with exclamation 
points), this is the complete pattern (after which it moves to another place in 
the document and does the whole thing again):

! Argument of \MakeTextLowercase has an extra }.
! Paragraph ended before \MakeTextLowercase was complete.
! You can't use `math shift character $' after \the.
! Argument of \@skipmath has an extra }.
! Paragraph ended before \@skipmath was complete.
! Undefined control sequence.
! Use of \SOUL@n doesn't match its definition.
! Use of \protect doesn't match its definition.
! Package soul Error: Reconstruction failed.
! Undefined control sequence.
! Missing number, treated as zero.
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.

In addition to looking at the source, I have cut back on the document so that 
it only produces one of these, and then, eventually, none. Character by 
character, I found some arbitrary place where it started to do this. To my 
naive eyes, there is nothing magical about that point. I am happy to try other 
troubleshooting techniques.

Suggestions?

TIA, to say the least

Can anyone help?

[Lars Adiels]

Hello
I wonder if any one can help with one or morre of those questions, please.
I want to procuce dokuments in the line of Te.pdf (attached). My lyx
file is Te.lyx and the layoutfile myTe_layout.local.

Q1. the mechanism I used is insets. I would like to make those boxes as
styles. But if I do that I cant color them in the lyx window?

Q2 if I have to use insets I also have too specify the correct style in
each box. Can this be automatic. There is a possibility to not force
plain but one can not force a given style?

Q3 I net a protected space in the beginning of each box if not the text
splits.??

Q4 The boxes are not purre rectangels. Can this be fixed?

Re: Making paragraphs stick together

[Paul Rubin]

You might take a look at

This can be one of those "be careful what you wish for" things; it can produce
some truly ugly pages.

Re: Lyx2 + latex-tufte -- recurring error on rendering to DVI

[Daron Wilson]

Hi Michael,

I'm using LyX 2beta3 on OS X 10.6.6 with MacTeX also.  I have compiled a 
document with the tufte class both to DVI and to PDF.  This suggests that there 
is something specifically wrong with your file.  It could be your installation, 
but if you used the full MacTeX,  that seems doubtful.  

If you can post your actual minimal sample document for those who are the 
experts (among whom I can't be counted), someone might be more able to give a 
better analysis of the specific LyX/LaTeX item that is causing the trouble.

RE: Is there a way to retain hyperlinks in pasted text?

I'm not sure what a "sponsored feature" project is, but tell me more. Maybe
we can get one going.

I'd love to know if this is possible; I'd even pay for it.
If you want to organize a 'sponsored feature' project, let me know.

Let's say I copy a block of text on a web page and paste it into a lyx

other URLs (web pages, pdf files, etc.). But when I paste the text block
into lyx, the hyperlinks are gone and just the text gets pasted. 
 
Is there a way to paste the text into lyx so that the hyperlinks are

hyperlinks manually (which would be a pain)? 
 
The users' guide doesn't mention a way to retain the hyperlinks, so I
thought I'd check here to see if anyone has a way to accomplish this that's
better than re-linking each one manually.

I doubt that the package has native LyX support, but you could still use  
it in LyX. You need to add \usepackage{minutes} in teh preamble and then  
use the package through ERT insets (Insert > TeX code).
