indent first paragraph
Hello All.
I need to typeset a Russian book, whose conventions demand that I
indent each and every paragraph, including those after a section, etc.
I tried \usepackage{indentfirst} in the preamble, but that still does
NOT indent paragraphs coming after an enumeration or a bulleted list.
Is _complete_ first paragraph indentation possible automatically? I
mean without manually inserting the appropriate ERTs before
paragraphs?
Any help is appreciated.

reallly long titles in page headings
Hello All. I have a book with several long chapter titles that take more than one line, and I fixed the problem of them titles going beyond the margin in TOC by allowing hyperref breaks in the hyperref package, which I happen to use. However, since the book class uses headings on every page by default (which I like), those several long chapter titles end up going beyond the page margin in the headings too, which is ugly. Moreover, when I insert a manual line break in the actual chapter titles, this break is not showing in the headings, which is outright wrong. Does anyone know of a way to enable line breaks in chapter-dependant headings? I would really like to keep the default book class page layout. Thanks. -- WBR, Andrei Popov Using LyX 1.3.4 on Linux

Re: Selecting typefaces for ancient Greek?
Hi,
cbgreek by Claudio Beccari is the default option for babel; however, it
uses bitmapped fonts by default, and when it comes to outlined fonts it
is rather large (over 70 Mb); Alexej Kryukov assembled the cm-lgc
package (in CTAN:/fonts/ps-type1), which does a pretty good job at
substitution of T1 (Latin), LGR (Greek) and T2 (Cyrillic) fonts in
about 13Mb; however, depending on how you want to enter the text in
LyX, you might try ibycus-babel, which has its own set of fonts, some
of them outlined. Assuming you're using the default Beccari encoding,
try \usepackage{cm-lgc} after downloading it. It is pretty small and
straightforward...
Personally, I find the ibycus package quite satisfactory, specially
because it uses something close to Beta encoding (TLG or Perseus texts)
without messing with LaTeX backslashes; both cm-lgc and ibycus are pfb
based, meaning that they are not bitmapped.

Luis

behaviour of changebars (tracking changes)
Martin: ok - i cleared the preamble and tracking changes works. however, i observe strange behavior: 1) i generated a new document, entered some text, enabled tracking changes, and addied some more text and deleted some. this shows nicely in lyx. hoever, in dvi it shows in black white only. in postscript it shows in colors, but there is no vertical bars in the margin. 2) using tracking changes with my paper. i cleared the preamble (as first stated). tracking changed shows well in lyx, but not at all in dvi. it does show in postscript, but still no vertical bars in the margins. ideas? martin To see the vertical change bars in my PDFs, I have to adjust the margins. In my docs I set the outer margins to 2.75 in. (Layout Document Margins). I set them back to 1.75 for my final PDFs. Yes, it is annoying that accepting all the changes bounces you to the end of the doc, but it's something I found I can live with. Deleting a space will only show up as the vertical change bar, which is probably being displayed outside of your page margins now. Hope this helps. I have found the change bars to be very helpful in our documentation production cycle (I wouldn't be able to use LyX for our doc tool without them) and I'm anxious to see the 1.4 change bar feature.

If you have installed cocoAspell 2.? then you will not need the link as it already does this for you. I have installed cocoAspell 2.0.1, and there is no such link (unless perhaps I'm not understanding what this in it already does this for you). What you need to do is follow the link to the dictionaries on cocoAspell site and download aspell6-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2. Decompress and place folder in /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell this places it where OS X Tigger looks for it then go into your System Preferences and select dictionaries. The package install program does all of this for you. (Just to be sure, I went and grabbed the file in question and unzipped it. It is exactly what I find in /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0.) Now try LyX if it works congrats if not then their is another trick. Copy the file you downloaded from the one you placed in cocoAspell using command line tool (Terminal) go to where folder is and type executing with the return key after each command. ./configure make make install This installs the dictionary in the actual Aspell folder at /usr/ local/lib/aspell-0.60 It was already there. and LyX should work with this dictionary now. Blimey, must have been a permissions thing, as the content of the two relevant dirs appears not to have changed, but this did the trick!

As for the hyphenation,
*** Hyphenation no work
In log file of latex I can see that module of spanish hyphenation not was

advices I edited
/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat
and then
run iniTeX
and several others actions along several weeks, none of this work.
LyX uses LaTeX in the background, as far as I know; and the package babel takes
care of language management, so you MUST get acquainted with many forks and
dead ends of babel, if you want to typeset real polyglot.
Having said that, the advice was sound: you change the language declaration in
texmf:/tex/generic/config/language.dat, and then you recompile the formats.
This should take care of loading the hyphenation patterns. Then you specify
the languages you use in your document either in \documentclass[langs]
{class} or \usepackage[langs]{babel} and switch languages according to
babel's conventions (\foreignlanguage, \setlanguage, etc). All of this happens
at LaTeX level; I don't use spellchecking: I trust my Liberal Arts
education... :)

Other problems remains:
1) When I invoke Find Replace I can't to type accented characters or
equals to the used for lyx in the text.
This characters look equals but are differents in code.
2) I defined double quoted and I can't to type this in Find Replace.
3) When I include Chapter* in TOC with ERT: \addcontents ... a point appears
in the left of the entry. This not
occur in english.
4) I have an hybrid style. After itemizes, tables, fig, etc. next paragraph
is not indented. After title of
section the paragraph get indentation. I need modify a lot of paragraph for
get coherence.
Apparently, it all depends on the encoding of the text you're entering. If the
system is using something awkward in an awkward way, you can neither enter
accented characters nor search/replace them. So in some way it's not LyX's
fault (I have no problem at all with accents on Win32); but SUSE's settings.
PS. I am NOT promoting the boot sector virus commonly called Windows; it's

OK. So it might be that LyX is using some encoding at file storage level and
something else at display level. People sometimes run into this trouble in
Win#@ too: they enter (unknowingly, of course) utf text in some version of
W*rd, and they get white squares at another...
The solution is to use the same encoding consistently in both system file
storage and application. If you set the locale (or whatever input device you
are using) to use ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) for display, and set \usepackage[latin1]
{inputenc} in the preamble of your LyX/LaTeX file, you should get something
close to what you want: the characters on screen are those stored in file. I
do something like this to fix some odd-encoded files in Win#@, and it works...

I think that this will be only resolved when we switch to XML and (therefore?) UTF-8. I know that UTF-8 is not mandatory for XML, but it seems to me that switch to XML would be so big, that Unicodization would be trivial in comparison (and it would be really helpful if in future LyX would go towards KDEization -- do I understand it correctly that you have to be Unicodized in order to be KDE?). The fact that couple of people mentioned acronyms like DTD in the last couple of days seems to be hopeful (of course, I do not hope for anything earlier than 1.5, but still it is better than nothing).

Re: OS X Tigger
Okay. I just decided to install LyX-Qt on Tiger since I'm also installing KDE 3.4 via Fink. Downloaded the tgz for LyX, extracted it. Downloaded the cocoaAspell 2.0.1. installed it. Installed the LyX pkg. Ran spell check which promptly gave the error in my Fink distribution that aspell-en is missing. Run Fink Commander. Aspell by default installs everything but your language specific options. Selected aspell-en and installed from source. Ran F7 to spell check and the Inspector showed up as expected and off to spell check land I go. This is very simple.

\nocite{*} changes bibliography style (when using natbib)
Hi there,
I would like to show all (or additional) literature from my bib-file in the
bibliography, and not just the literature I am citing. I have tried to follow
the advise at:
http://www.texnik.de//bibtex/bibtex.phtml#cite*
by inserting \nocite{*} as ERT in my LyX document. But this changes the look
of my bibliography from apalike - author (year) title - to a numerical
notation.
I am using NatBib with the autor-year option.
Style: apalike.
LyX 1.3.4 on Linux
What am I doing wrong? How do I ask NatBib to add literature to the
bibliopraphy that is not citet?

Re: Strange Bib Behaviour
Followup on my problem from before: I still haven't managed to fix it so the NatBib and apalike Bib style work happily together. I've changed to an alternative style (simple natbib essentially) and it seems to work OK. Because this works fine, I assume that it is something weird about the apalike style once you get to more than 30 citations, or to having more than a couple of articles by the same author. Hope that reassures anyone who's stressed about it happening to THEIR thesis ;-) Still very little clue about how to fix the original problem, but I think it needs someone with more LyX/LaTeX knowledge than me and the time to look (my diss is due in 4 days!!)

Morning, ./configure make make install This installs the dictionary in the actual Aspell folder at /usr/ local/lib/aspell-0.60 It was already there. Yes, the folder is their, but the compiled library is not hence the English that LyX is searching for it is also the process that Tigger goes through when you place dictionary in cocoAspell.

indent first paragraph
Hello All.
I need to typeset a Russian book, whose conventions demand that I
indent each and every paragraph, including those after a section, etc.
I tried \usepackage{indentfirst} in the preamble, but that still does
NOT indent paragraphs coming after an enumeration or a bulleted list.
Is _complete_ first paragraph indentation possible automatically? I
mean without manually inserting the appropriate ERTs before
paragraphs?
Any help is appreciated.

reallly long titles in page headings
Hello All. I have a book with several long chapter titles that take more than one line, and I fixed the problem of them titles going beyond the margin in TOC by allowing hyperref breaks in the hyperref package, which I happen to use. However, since the book class uses headings on every page by default (which I like), those several long chapter titles end up going beyond the page margin in the headings too, which is ugly. Moreover, when I insert a manual line break in the actual chapter titles, this break is not showing in the headings, which is outright wrong. Does anyone know of a way to enable line breaks in chapter-dependant headings? I would really like to keep the default book class page layout. Thanks. -- WBR, Andrei Popov Using LyX 1.3.4 on Linux

Re: Selecting typefaces for ancient Greek?
Hi,
cbgreek by Claudio Beccari is the default option for babel; however, it
uses bitmapped fonts by default, and when it comes to outlined fonts it
is rather large (over 70 Mb); Alexej Kryukov assembled the cm-lgc
package (in CTAN:/fonts/ps-type1), which does a pretty good job at
substitution of T1 (Latin), LGR (Greek) and T2 (Cyrillic) fonts in
about 13Mb; however, depending on how you want to enter the text in
LyX, you might try ibycus-babel, which has its own set of fonts, some
of them outlined. Assuming you're using the default Beccari encoding,
try \usepackage{cm-lgc} after downloading it. It is pretty small and
straightforward...
Personally, I find the ibycus package quite satisfactory, specially
because it uses something close to Beta encoding (TLG or Perseus texts)
without messing with LaTeX backslashes; both cm-lgc and ibycus are pfb
based, meaning that they are not bitmapped.

behaviour of changebars (tracking changes)
Martin: ok - i cleared the preamble and tracking changes works. however, i observe strange behavior: 1) i generated a new document, entered some text, enabled tracking changes, and addied some more text and deleted some. this shows nicely in lyx. hoever, in dvi it shows in black white only. in postscript it shows in colors, but there is no vertical bars in the margin. 2) using tracking changes with my paper. i cleared the preamble (as first stated). tracking changed shows well in lyx, but not at all in dvi. it does show in postscript, but still no vertical bars in the margins. ideas? martin To see the vertical change bars in my PDFs, I have to adjust the margins. In my docs I set the outer margins to 2.75 in. (Layout Document Margins). I set them back to 1.75 for my final PDFs. Yes, it is annoying that accepting all the changes bounces you to the end of the doc, but it's something I found I can live with. Deleting a space will only show up as the vertical change bar, which is probably being displayed outside of your page margins now. Hope this helps. I have found the change bars to be very helpful in our documentation production cycle (I wouldn't be able to use LyX for our doc tool without them) and I'm anxious to see the 1.4 change bar feature.

As for the hyphenation,

In log file of latex I can see that module of spanish hyphenation not was

advices I edited
/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat
and then
run iniTeX
and several others actions along several weeks, none of this work.
LyX uses LaTeX in the background, as far as I know; and the package babel takes
care of language management, so you MUST get acquainted with many forks and
dead ends of babel, if you want to typeset real polyglot.
Having said that, the advice was sound: you change the language declaration in
texmf:/tex/generic/config/language.dat, and then you recompile the formats.
This should take care of loading the hyphenation patterns. Then you specify
the languages you use in your document either in \documentclass[langs]
{class} or \usepackage[langs]{babel} and switch languages according to
babel's conventions (\foreignlanguage, \setlanguage, etc). All of this happens
at LaTeX level; I don't use spellchecking: I trust my Liberal Arts
education... :)

Other problems remains:
1) When I invoke Find Replace I can't to type accented characters or
equals to the used for lyx in the text.
This characters look equals but are differents in code.
2) I defined double quoted and I can't to type this in Find Replace.
3) When I include Chapter* in TOC with ERT: \addcontents ... a point appears
in the left of the entry. This not
occur in english.
4) I have an hybrid style. After itemizes, tables, fig, etc. next paragraph
is not indented. After title of
section the paragraph get indentation. I need modify a lot of paragraph for
get coherence.
Apparently, it all depends on the encoding of the text you're entering. If the
system is using something awkward in an awkward way, you can neither enter
accented characters nor search/replace them. So in some way it's not LyX's
fault (I have no problem at all with accents on Win32); but SUSE's settings.
PS. I am NOT promoting the boot sector virus commonly called Windows; it's

True, if you are using a utf-8 locale the characters inserted inside any
widget (Is this the right name?), with the single exception of the main
canvas, are not converted to the document encoding but remain utf-8.
OK. So it might be that LyX is using some encoding at file storage level and
something else at display level. People sometimes run into this trouble in
Win#@ too: they enter (unknowingly, of course) utf text in some version of
W*rd, and they get white squares at another...
The solution is to use the same encoding consistently in both system file
storage and application. If you set the locale (or whatever input device you
are using) to use ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) for display, and set \usepackage[latin1]
{inputenc} in the preamble of your LyX/LaTeX file, you should get something
close to what you want: the characters on screen are those stored in file. I
do something like this to fix some odd-encoded files in Win#@, and it works...
Online bibtex-ressources (for social science)
Is is possible to lookup literature on some online ressource (e.g. Amazon) and get ready made bibtex entries, so you don't have to type it in by hand?

I think that this will be only resolved when we switch to XML and (therefore?) UTF-8. I know that UTF-8 is not mandatory for XML, but it seems to me that switch to XML would be so big, that Unicodization would be trivial in comparison (and it would be really helpful if in future LyX would go towards KDEization -- do I understand it correctly that you have to be Unicodized in order to be KDE?). The fact that couple of people mentioned acronyms like DTD in the last couple of days seems to be hopeful (of course, I do not hope for anything earlier than 1.5, but still it is better than nothing).

Re: OS X Tigger
Okay. I just decided to install LyX-Qt on Tiger since I'm also installing KDE 3.4 via Fink. Downloaded the tgz for LyX, extracted it. Downloaded the cocoaAspell 2.0.1. installed it. Installed the LyX pkg. Ran spell check which promptly gave the error in my Fink distribution that aspell-en is missing. Run Fink Commander. Aspell by default installs everything but your language specific options. Selected aspell-en and installed from source. Ran F7 to spell check and the Inspector showed up as expected and off to spell check land I go. This is very simple. Aspell-en or your language of choice needs to have a note via Fink that it needs to later be installed for one's localization specific needs. Marc J.

If you have installed cocoAspell 2.? then you will not need the link as it already does this for you. I have installed cocoAspell 2.0.1, and there is no such link (unless perhaps I'm not understanding what this in it already does this for you). What you need to do is follow the link to the dictionaries on cocoAspell site and download aspell6-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2. Decompress and place folder in /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell this places it where OS X Tigger looks for it then go into your System Preferences and select dictionaries. The package install program does all of this for you. (Just to be sure, I went and grabbed the file in question and unzipped it. It is exactly what I find in /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6- en-6.0-0.) Now try LyX if it works congrats if not then their is another trick. Copy the file you downloaded from the one you placed in cocoAspell using command line tool (Terminal) go to where folder is and type executing with the return key after each command. ./configure make make install This installs the dictionary in the actual Aspell folder at /usr/ local/lib/aspell-0.60 It was already there. and LyX should work with this dictionary now. Blimey, must have been a permissions thing, as the content of the two relevant dirs appears not to have changed, but this did the trick!

\nocite{*} changes bibliography style (when using natbib)
Hi there,
I would like to show all (or additional) literature from my bib-file in the
bibliography, and not just the literature I am citing. I have tried to follow
the advise at:
http://www.texnik.de//bibtex/bibtex.phtml#cite*
by inserting \nocite{*} as ERT in my LyX document. But this changes the look
of my bibliography from apalike - author (year) title - to a numerical
notation.
I am using NatBib with the autor-year option.
Style: apalike.

What am I doing wrong? How do I ask NatBib to add literature to the
bibliopraphy that is not citet?

Re: Strange Bib Behaviour
Followup on my problem from before: I still haven't managed to fix it so the NatBib and apalike Bib style work happily together. I've changed to an alternative style (simple natbib essentially) and it seems to work OK. Because this works fine, I assume that it is something weird about the apalike style once you get to more than 30 citations, or to having more than a couple of articles by the same author. Hope that reassures anyone who's stressed about it happening to THEIR thesis ;-) Still very little clue about how to fix the original problem, but I think it needs someone with more LyX/LaTeX knowledge than me and the time to look (my diss is due in 4 days!!)

Morning, ./configure make make install This installs the dictionary in the actual Aspell folder at /usr/ local/lib/aspell-0.60 It was already there. Yes, the folder is their, but the compiled library is not hence the English that LyX is searching for it is also the process that Tigger goes through when you place dictionary in cocoAspell.

The problem is that tracking changes in 1.3.x is not (officially) maintained. Some problems have been fixed in the 1.4 development version, some problems are still there. You could file bug reports to http://www.bugzilla.lyx.org, then we can check whether the problem also exists in the official (1.4) code. Jürgen

That was also my thought. :-) One idea would be to transform LyX into a package instead of it being a module. Notice that we already have other scripts in python to generate the TOC for the lyx documentation that use LyX.pm, this is for 1.4.x where we replaced the previous perl scripts.

reallly long titles in page headings
Hello All. I have a book with several long chapter titles that take more than one line, and I fixed the problem of them titles going beyond the margin in TOC by allowing hyperref breaks in the hyperref package, which I happen to use. However, since the book class uses headings on every page by default (which I like), those several long chapter titles end up going beyond the page margin in the headings too, which is ugly. Moreover, when I insert a manual line break in the actual chapter titles, this break is not showing in the headings, which is outright wrong. Does anyone know of a way to enable line breaks in chapter-dependant headings? I would really like to keep the default book class page layout. Thanks. -- WBR, Andrei Popov Using LyX 1.3.4 on Linux

to have the long titles extend to half the textwidth:

Re: Selecting typefaces for ancient Greek?
Hi,
cbgreek by Claudio Beccari is the default option for babel; however, it
uses bitmapped fonts by default, and when it comes to outlined fonts it
is rather large (over 70 Mb); Alexej Kryukov assembled the cm-lgc
package (in CTAN:/fonts/ps-type1), which does a pretty good job at
substitution of T1 (Latin), LGR (Greek) and T2 (Cyrillic) fonts in
about 13Mb; however, depending on how you want to enter the text in
LyX, you might try ibycus-babel, which has its own set of fonts, some
of them outlined. Assuming you're using the default Beccari encoding,
try \usepackage{cm-lgc} after downloading it. It is pretty small and
straightforward...
Personally, I find the ibycus package quite satisfactory, specially
because it uses something close to Beta encoding (TLG or Perseus texts)
without messing with LaTeX backslashes; both cm-lgc and ibycus are pfb
based, meaning that they are not bitmapped.

Deleting a space will only show up as the vertical change bar, which is probably being displayed outside of your page margins now. Hope this helps. I have found the change bars to be very helpful in our documentation production cycle (I wouldn't be able to use LyX for our doc tool without them) and I'm anxious to see the 1.4 change bar feature.
