Re: running head on title page

[Nirmal Govind]

the page number is on the same line though. After setting the 
document heading to  fancy I've modified the preamble 
\pagestyle{fancy}\lhead{} \chead{}
\rhead{foo is good \thepage}
To get the page number below foo is good you want to modify the above 
as \rhead{foo is good \\ \thepage} which will add a line after the text.

2. I want to get the running head onto the titlepage. It's clear the 
running head is not in teh header area. When I add anything above the 
title I end up making an additional page.
Try \thispagestyle{fancyplain} somewhere on your title page or try 
putting in \pagestyle{fancyplain} in your preamble.. it may work, I'm 
not sure...

Making layouts more flexible

[Diab Jerius]

One of my frustrations using LyX (and there are very few!) is finding an
elegant way to easily mix layouts.  I may simply be ignorant of how to
do it correctly.

Here's an example.  As a long time (La)TeX user I've developed my own
set of handy environments that I use in addition to the standard ones.
I simply \input{macros}, and I'm off.  I'd like that same functionality
in LyX, but with the ability to use those environments without resorting
to ERT.

The way I've been doing this so far, and it's really a kludge, is to
create a local layout (in ~/.lyx/layouts) called stdlists.inc. I
create a symbolic link to the real stdlists.inc ones and call it
dist-stdlists.inc.  My stdlists.inc contains my environments, and
Includes dist-stdlists.inc. That way my environments are available in
all layouts (assuming I use layouts which include stdlists.inc), and the
symbolic link ensures that I'm never out of sync with the real
stdlists.inc.

This makes my life easier, but makes it almost impossible to work
collaboratively on a document, as all of my the collaborators would have
to perform this behind the scenes configuration.  This is just not
practical.  

I could  create a layout specifically for each document that I need to
share, but that's nuts! I couldn't recommend this approach to my
colleagues who are just starting out with LyX either.  It really really
steepens the learning curve.

I think that a practical solution would be to allow the user to
interactively select multiple layouts. LyX would essentially build a
wrapper layout file which would include them.  That way one could create
a library of sub-layouts which could be used interchangeably with
very little effort.


Thanks,
Diab

My recommandation would be bibtool (on CTAN (and included in many LinuX
distributions)). In the excelent documentation you will find a command to
extract all citates giving a latex *.aux file, a command to delete
doublettes, a command to create unique keys etc...

[announce] german description of LyX-mathed is available

[Uwe Stöhr]

Hello list,
I wrote a documentation of LyX's mathed.
It's a supplementation for the userguide and based on the 
LaTeX-commands, because writing formulas with the commands is much 
faster than doing it with the math-panel. And mathed supports many 
commands directly.
The documentation contains also a tipps'n'tricks section.

You can download it from

http://fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/Dokumentation
or
http://prozess.imtek.uni-freiburg.de/stoehr
in pdf, dvi, ps, lyx or tex-format.
(The file Hinweis_zur_Datei_LyXMathebefehle.tex.txt gives some 
instruction how to use the tex-format file.)

(There is also a hint in the actual german userguide (chapter 5.9).)

I hope the documentation is useful for someone.

regards Uwe

Re: integrate source code snippets (verbatim text?) into document

[Mike Barnsley]

 I'd like to put short source code snippets (from 1 to 10 lines max) into my
 text, in typewriter font (I am writing a coding styleguide). I tried to
 just tweak the font settings but was not happy with it because lyx/latex
 still treats it as normal text, and creates margins at the beginning of a
 paragraph etc; I also could not find a way to integrate tabs or spaces for
 source code indentation like this:

I've found the 'listings' package to be very useful for this purpose. It's 
similar to 'verbatim' but you can define blocks of code as a float or 
otherwise, put various types of frame around the code, put line numbers 
alongside the code and perform syntax highlighting on the code. Also, you can 
keep the code separate from the LyX file by using the 
\lstinputlisting{filename} directive to insert all or part of the code at the 
relevant location.

The listings package is available from CTAN.

Good luck,

Mike

Vertical spacing before and after chapter headings

[Bradley Navarro]

Hello,

I need to have control over the vertical spacing between the top of the 
page and the chapter headings and the vertical spacing after the chapter 
headings for all pages with chapter headings on them. All other pages 
can remain at the default.

For example:

[space]
Chapter 1
[space]
Introduction
[space]
where I need to be able to define the amount of space in the areas 
labeled [space].

I have tried various solutions given to me by individuals on this list, 
but without success. Some of this may be my inexperience in dealing with 
LATEX. If anyone could help me solve this problem, it would be greatly 
appreciated.

I am using the report class in lyx 1.3.3.

My question was more along the lines of whether or not there exists some
configuration setting such that insertion of a new ERT will _always_ be in
inline mode. As it is now, it will always create a new ERT in 'open' mode.
(for those who don't know the difference: try right-clicking in an ERT)

I've looked at the lyxrc's but didn't find anything.

Making layouts more flexible

[Diab Jerius]

One of my frustrations using LyX (and there are very few!) is finding an
elegant way to easily mix layouts.  I may simply be ignorant of how to
do it correctly.

Here's an example.  As a long time (La)TeX user I've developed my own
set of handy environments that I use in addition to the standard ones.
I simply \input{macros}, and I'm off.  I'd like that same functionality
in LyX, but with the ability to use those environments without resorting
to ERT.

The way I've been doing this so far, and it's really a kludge, is to
create a local layout (in ~/.lyx/layouts) called stdlists.inc. I
create a symbolic link to the real stdlists.inc ones and call it
dist-stdlists.inc.  My stdlists.inc contains my environments, and
Includes dist-stdlists.inc. That way my environments are available in
all layouts (assuming I use layouts which include stdlists.inc), and the
symbolic link ensures that I'm never out of sync with the real
stdlists.inc.

This makes my life easier, but makes it almost impossible to work
collaboratively on a document, as all of my the collaborators would have
to perform this behind the scenes configuration.  This is just not
practical.  

I could  create a layout specifically for each document that I need to
share, but that's nuts! I couldn't recommend this approach to my
colleagues who are just starting out with LyX either.  It really really
steepens the learning curve.

I think that a practical solution would be to allow the user to
interactively select multiple layouts. LyX would essentially build a
wrapper layout file which would include them.  That way one could create
a library of sub-layouts which could be used interchangeably with
very little effort.


Thanks,
Diab

My recommandation would be bibtool (on CTAN (and included in many LinuX
distributions)). In the excelent documentation you will find a command to
extract all citates giving a latex *.aux file, a command to delete
doublettes, a command to create unique keys etc...

[announce] german description of LyX-mathed is available

[Uwe Stöhr]

Hello list,
I wrote a documentation of LyX's mathed.
It's a supplementation for the userguide and based on the 
LaTeX-commands, because writing formulas with the commands is much 
faster than doing it with the math-panel. And mathed supports many 
commands directly.
The documentation contains also a tipps'n'tricks section.

You can download it from

http://fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/Dokumentation
or
http://prozess.imtek.uni-freiburg.de/stoehr
in pdf, dvi, ps, lyx or tex-format.
(The file Hinweis_zur_Datei_LyXMathebefehle.tex.txt gives some 
instruction how to use the tex-format file.)

(There is also a hint in the actual german userguide (chapter 5.9).)

I hope the documentation is useful for someone.

regards Uwe

Re: integrate source code snippets (verbatim text?) into document

[Mike Barnsley]

 I'd like to put short source code snippets (from 1 to 10 lines max) into my
 text, in typewriter font (I am writing a coding styleguide). I tried to
 just tweak the font settings but was not happy with it because lyx/latex
 still treats it as normal text, and creates margins at the beginning of a
 paragraph etc; I also could not find a way to integrate tabs or spaces for
 source code indentation like this:

I've found the 'listings' package to be very useful for this purpose. It's 
similar to 'verbatim' but you can define blocks of code as a float or 
otherwise, put various types of frame around the code, put line numbers 
alongside the code and perform syntax highlighting on the code. Also, you can 
keep the code separate from the LyX file by using the 
\lstinputlisting{filename} directive to insert all or part of the code at the 
relevant location.

The listings package is available from CTAN.

Good luck,

Mike

Vertical spacing before and after chapter headings

[Bradley Navarro]

Hello,

I need to have control over the vertical spacing between the top of the 
page and the chapter headings and the vertical spacing after the chapter 
headings for all pages with chapter headings on them. All other pages 
can remain at the default.

For example:

[space]
Chapter 1
[space]
Introduction
[space]
where I need to be able to define the amount of space in the areas 
labeled [space].

I have tried various solutions given to me by individuals on this list, 
but without success. Some of this may be my inexperience in dealing with 
LATEX. If anyone could help me solve this problem, it would be greatly 
appreciated.

I am using the report class in lyx 1.3.3.

Re: Default display mode for ERT inset

One solution may be to open your file in Emacs, and do a

I guess that there's a better way, but this should (?) work.

My question was more along the lines of whether or not there exists some
configuration setting such that insertion of a new ERT will _always_ be in
inline mode. As it is now, it will always create a new ERT in 'open' mode.
(for those who don't know the difference: try right-clicking in an ERT)

I've looked at the lyxrc's but didn't find anything.

Export to latex, run the latex compiler 'by hand' and look in the 
generated .aux file to see which citations you're using. To proceed 
further we could probably write a shell script but I think it would 
be simpler to just use cut-n-paste from your favourite text editor.

Using sixpack you can mark entries according to the .aux file. Then just
export to a separate bibfile.

in let's say bib1.bib and bib2.bib and bib5.bib? According to the sequence in 
the  BibTeX data bank (which is, let's say 1,2,3,4,5)? 

What is the best way to extract the cited references only and put them in a 
new .bib- file which can be read by pybliographic? 

Sorry that this is slightly off topic, but I was encouraged by recent requests 
re bibliography.
I am using Lyx version 1.3.2
I don't know if somebody mentioned it, but what about bibtool? I've used 
it and I found it extremely useful,

tkbibtex has a search and an export function that help even more. However,
with large databases, tkbibtex becomes slow :-(

My recommandation would be bibtool (on CTAN (and included in many LinuX
distributions)). In the excelent documentation you will find a command to
extract all citates giving a latex *.aux file, a command to delete
doublettes, a command to create unique keys etc...

[announce] german description of LyX-mathed is available

[Uwe Stöhr]

Hello list,
I wrote a documentation of LyX's mathed.
It's a supplementation for the userguide and based on the 
LaTeX-commands, because writing formulas with the commands is much 
faster than doing it with the math-panel. And mathed supports many 
commands directly.
The documentation contains also a tipps'n'tricks section.

You can download it from

http://fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/Dokumentation
or
http://prozess.imtek.uni-freiburg.de/stoehr
in pdf, dvi, ps, lyx or tex-format.
(The file "Hinweis_zur_Datei_LyXMathebefehle.tex.txt" gives some 
instruction how to use the tex-format file.)

(There is also a hint in the actual german userguide (chapter 5.9).)

I hope the documentation is useful for someone.

regards Uwe

'bibtool -x' is what you are looking for.

I've found the 'listings' package to be very useful for this purpose. It's 
similar to 'verbatim' but you can define blocks of code as a float or 
otherwise, put various types of frame around the code, put line numbers 
alongside the code and perform syntax highlighting on the code. Also, you can 
keep the code separate from the LyX file by using the 
\lstinputlisting{filename} directive to insert all or part of the code at the 
relevant location.

The listings package is available from CTAN.

Good luck,

Mike

Default display mode for ERT inset

[Kim Roland Rasmussen]

Hi!

Is there any way I can set the default display mode of an ERT inset to 'inline' 
instead of 'open'?

I have a LaTeX heavy document and it's becoming quite a pain to change every 
inset.

Thanks,
Kim

Re: win32 QT version "latex configuration"

[Milos Komarcevic]

Can you run the reconfiguration manually please as
share\lyx\configure --keep-temps

I've had to edit the batch file configure.bat and add the switch "--keep-temps"
to get it to work.
Here, the first line of the file is:

Perhaps your version of sed is choking on the '!' delimiters? Change this

Kindly let me know.

Vertical spacing before and after chapter headings

[Bradley Navarro]

Hello,

I need to have control over the vertical spacing between the top of the 
page and the chapter headings and the vertical spacing after the chapter 
headings for all pages with chapter headings on them. All other pages 
can remain at the default.

For example:

[space]
Chapter 1
[space]
Introduction
[space]
where I need to be able to define the amount of space in the areas 
labeled [space].

I have tried various solutions given to me by individuals on this list, 
but without success. Some of this may be my inexperience in dealing with 
LATEX. If anyone could help me solve this problem, it would be greatly 
appreciated.

I am using the report class in lyx 1.3.3.

Thanks,
Brad

Hi... you should be able to compile l.3.3 on your current system. I'm 
guessing you checked the bin folder on the lyx ftp site and couldn't 
find binaries for RH7.2. Someone on this list may have a binary for this 
(or may be able to package one for you) and hopefully they'll respond...

Vani,

  I had a lot of difficulty trying to get the package for 1.3.3 to work on
Red Hat 7.3. What worked was building from the tarball and using
'checkinstall' to build/upgrade the LyX installation.

  It's been running fine ever since.

Re: Default display mode for ERT inset

[Paul Medwell]

G'Day Kimbo,

One solution may be to open your file in Emacs, and do a 
search-and-replace for:

\begin_inset ERT
status Open
and replace with;

\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
I guess that there's a better way, but this should (?) work.

Lata,
Paul

  I've run into this same time-consuming operation after I run the spelling
checker on the file. That opens all the ERT boxes, but doesn't close them
afterwards. It would be nice to add closing to the process.

Yes, but that won't help me during the editing.

My question was more along the lines of whether or not there exists some
configuration setting such that insertion of a new ERT will _always_ be in
inline mode. As it is now, it will always create a new ERT in 'open' mode.
(for those who don't know the difference: try right-clicking in an ERT)

I've looked at the lyxrc's but didn't find anything.
