how to show bitmaps properly?
Hello i have use the insert raster image function.. once i state the png file i want to include the only way i could have it show of reasonable dimension was using the -geometry XXX parameter where XXX is usually something like 300 or 400 although the dimensions are fine, the resolution on paper is extremely bad, even though the images do have a good original resolution. I believe i need to tell him not to downsample the image but just to output at the right DPI Any idea? Thanks -- Giovanni Tummarello [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have a look at http://www.math.ucla.edu/~asl/ And look at Buss' proof-style. This seems to do exactly what you want. LaTeX, so you might have to use ERT. Good luck, Bas Spitters
how to show bitmaps properly?
Hello i have use the insert "raster image" function.. once i state the png file i want to include the only way i could have it show of reasonable dimension was using the -geometry XXX parameter where XXX is usually something like 300 or 400 although the dimensions are fine, the resolution on paper is extremely bad, even though the images do have a good original resolution. I believe i need to tell him not to downsample the image but just to output at the right DPI Any idea? Thanks -- Giovanni Tummarello [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Framed does not redefine the minipage command.
It define new environments framed and shaded which you should use instead of
your note_l, namely your layout file should contain
Style Note
LatexType Environment
LatexName framed

Does the footnote split between the current and the next page, or does it
appear entirely on the next page ?
For the former case, put the following lines in the preamble:
\interfootnotelinepenalty=1
\raggedbottom
For the latter, put the following lines in the preamble
\raggedbottom
\setlength{\topskip}{1\topskip plus 1\baselineskip}

Use the prooftree or proof package.

When you inserted table in lyx 1.1.5, lyx did some automatic things, some of them were unnecessary. Now you need to do it manually. For a centered table above the caption do the following: 1. Insert->float->table 2. Press enter 3. Layout->paragraph 4. Select center alignment and press enter 5. Insert the table.

Or more simply, put {\setstretch{1} before the table, and } after it (in
latex mode).
Another solution is to put the cursor to the left of the table, and press
M-x paragraph-spacing single.

Would not adding just another [] do? I mean something like this?

How is this?

If there is anything worse than searching for note 13 (on page 198) from current page 204, it is to browse through endless sea of endnotes somewhere between pages 500 and 625 just to find fu*ing note saying something very meaningless. I usually put the book aside or (if I have to read it) just ignore _any_ endnote. IMHO, endnotes are good only for substantial disgression from the main text (aka Appendices), and it is still questionable, whether just another new chapter (paragraph) would not do better. Could you put parenthetical quotations in footnotes? 31. Holmes (1881), p. 207. You will have at least good bibliography in the end (one other thing I just cannot understand -- how is it possible, that HUP publishes presumably theoretical book w/o bibliography?).

Chicago Style tries to make the work as readable as possible, which is why I also like it. I don't think I was clear in stating this in my earlier email. Parenthetical references (which Chicago Style recommends above all other), integrate the information right in to the text, rather than stick it back a hundred pages. For example: As Michael Goosens points out in his book *Latex Graphics Companion,* you can use different types of graphics in Latex (85). The "(85)" refers to the page number. If you really want to track down this source, then you go to the endnotes and get the Publisher of the book, and other relevant information.

Then perhaps one of us ought to take charge and coordinate something. I've never done this before, and the one programming course I had in college is now a distant memory. So I have little idea how to start. Does anyone else on the list want to help? Can any of the wizards out there who know what they are doing take this over?

I used it once, when a journal asked me to send hardcopy in mla. That bst has been around for a while, though, and mla has been through several editions. Besides, I don't really like mla.

Thanks Dekel,
I got it running, and it does span pages, and it's beautiful but for the life
of me I can't make my shaded narrower. Any idea how to make a shaded
narrower?
I tried everything I could think of, including changing the text borders, but
that just made the text narrower within the shading (actually it was even
uglier than I describe, but...).
I have a generic LaTeX environment called "shadowbox" to accommodate not only
Lyx environment Note, but also Tip and Warning. In the code you can see my
failed attempt to shrink the shade by shrinking the text margins:
\newenvironment{shadowbox}[3]{%
\begin{list}{}{%
\leftmargin#1%
\rightmargin#2%
~\\[-2in]%
% \setlength\fboxsep{8pt}%
\definecolor{shadecolor}{rgb}{0.95,0.95,0.95}%
\begin{shaded}%
{\centering\large#3\\[0.2cm]}%
\raggedright%
\setlength\parindent{16pt}%
}%
\item{}}%
{%
\end{shaded}%
\end{list}%
\par
}%
Style Note
LatexType Environment
LatexName note_l
# Typical stuff about appearance within LyX
Preamble
\newenvironment{note_l}{%
\begin{shadowbox}{1in}{1in}{NOTE}%
}{%
\end{shadowbox}%
}%
EndPreamble
End
Style Warning
LatexType Environment
LatexName warning_l
# Typical stuff about appearance within LyX
Preamble
\newenvironment{warning_l}{%
\begin{shadowbox}{1in}{1in}{WARNING}%
}{%
\end{shadowbox}%
}%
EndPreamble
End
The preceding works perfectly except that the shading is too wide.
Thanks
STeve
