I'd already tried that. It ought to work but even when I set the page
style to be empty it still prints the page number on the first page of
the contents list.
I'm wondering if this is a bug. The only solution I can see is to copy
the whole contents list out as a normal page and use that.

Hi there,

few issues, I'm hoping somoene may have the answers. I've spent this morning
looking through the user guides and other files provided by Lyx but as of
yet haven't had much joy, also searched on the Lyx wiki.
There are large gaps at the top of the page when a new chapter starts, I've
tried altering the page margins but they do not apply to chapters? Is there
anyway of reducing this spacing?
When using the Table of Contents (TOC), I can't find a way of the References
being put into the list?
Also related to the TOCl; the Appendices just comes up with 'A - Title of
first appendix', rather than 'Appendix A - Title of first appendix'
Thanks for taking the time to read my problems, any help would be much
appreciated.

I think for the majority of these issues it would be wise to look into
additional latex packages that are available from http://tug.ctan.org/
.
For instance the look of the appendices in the body of the document
and the toc can be altered with the appendix package. I've included an
example of how to use the package to insert the word 'appendix' in the
body of the document and in the toc. Reference the documentation for
this package on ctan.org.
There are also a few packages available for changing the look of
chapters with options to change the spacing. Or as someone else
suggested you may look into the koma-script document class that has
these options built in. There is a reference manual over 200 pages
long for the koma-script class with many options to alter the look of
the document. This manual is also available on ctan.
Also, as someone else eluded to, the tocbibind package is available
for adding different elements to the toc. I specifically used this
package for my thesis because it was required to have the toc, lof,
and lot in the toc. In this case I just put \usepackage{tocbibind} and
this includes most elements in your toc. However, once again look at
the package documentation for a detailed description of the options
available and once again this documentation is found at ctan. Good
luck.

exporting pdflatex vs. lyx-latex-pdflatex
Funny. My presentation, which I wrote using LyX, does not export to PDF running pdflatex from File - Export - pdflatex. The PDF it creates is tiny and obviously has errors. However, if I do File - Export - LaTeX (pdflatex) and run pdflatex from Kile (KDE app), the PDF gets created all right.

sciposter latex for A0 posters in LyX
I struggled with the a0poster latex packages and the .layout files that people so kindly posted here, but I found them very hard to work with. I looked for other options and found the sciposter package, together with sectionbox, multicol and wallpaper latex packages. I found these much easier to work with, to get a decent A0 landscape poster with 5 columns and nice boxes of white text and graphics on top of a colourful background. I used the a0poster layout to start with, and added various preambles, and I managed to get my references typed in a box in APA format too. Could I recommend that a proper layout be added to lyx for this? My knowledge of .layout files is very limited. Mateo.

My sytems might as well be broken; as they are both Slackware (11 and 10 ;-). In both cases trying to make a dvi whenever the file contains a Tex import freezes Lyx, although the dvi might get done in some case. man sh (bash in fact) says -c string If the -c option is present, then commands are read from string. If there are arguments after the string, they are assigned to the positional parameters, starting with $0. As far as I know, $0 is the name of the program itself (more accurately the name the program knows itself by). According to that, typing sh -c latex file.tex can only result in a mess. Conversely, sh -c "latex file.tex" runs, as the command is search inside the string itself. On a Mandriva, sh behaves the same way : sh -c "find -name toto" runs a quite different way from this sh -c "find -name toto" So what about me posting this on the developper list ?

I think for the majority of these issues it would be wise to look into
additional latex packages that are available from http://tug.ctan.org/
.
For instance the look of the appendices in the body of the document
and the toc can be altered with the appendix package. I've included an
example of how to use the package to insert the word 'appendix' in the
body of the document and in the toc. Reference the documentation for
this package on ctan.org.
There are also a few packages available for changing the look of
chapters with options to change the spacing. Or as someone else
suggested you may look into the koma-script document class that has
these options built in. There is a reference manual over 200 pages
long for the koma-script class with many options to alter the look of
the document. This manual is also available on ctan.
Also, as someone else eluded to, the tocbibind package is available
for adding different elements to the toc. I specifically used this
package for my thesis because it was required to have the toc, lof,
and lot in the toc. In this case I just put \usepackage{tocbibind} and
this includes most elements in your toc. However, once again look at
the package documentation for a detailed description of the options
available and once again this documentation is found at ctan. Good
luck.
Cheers,
Bob

To change this behavior you'll need modify the chapter page style or if you only want to change the look of the toc then there are latex packages for this. You can search around on ctan.org, I think the package I would use is tocloft, which is specifically written for modification of the toc, lof, and lot. I'm sure there are other packages to, but this is the package I used to modify the toc for my thesis. Good Luck Cheers, Bob

The formal standard for those texts is somewhat different here at the BU Wuppertal. If you'd like to collect more samples I'm willing to share it but be aware it still has some ugly workarounds where I couldn't find a proper way to do it.

No, it's no bug (maybe an unimplemented feature).

exporting pdflatex vs. lyx->latex->pdflatex
Funny. My presentation, which I wrote using LyX, does not export to PDF running pdflatex from File -> Export -> pdflatex. The PDF it creates is tiny and obviously has errors. However, if I do File -> Export -> LaTeX (pdflatex) and run pdflatex from Kile (KDE app), the PDF gets created all right. I'm just curious: any reason for this behaviour? -- Rudi Gaelzer Department of Physics Institute of Physics and Mathematics Federal University of Pelotas BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741

sciposter latex for A0 posters in LyX
I struggled with the a0poster latex packages and the .layout files that people so kindly posted here, but I found them very hard to work with. I looked for other options and found the sciposter package, together with sectionbox, multicol and wallpaper latex packages. I found these much easier to work with, to get a decent A0 landscape poster with 5 columns and nice boxes of white text and graphics on top of a colourful background. I used the a0poster layout to start with, and added various preambles, and I managed to get my references typed in a box in APA format too. Could I recommend that a proper layout be added to lyx for this? My knowledge of .layout files is very limited. Mateo.

listings prebreak question
Anyone know something that can be put into listings prebreak that would be
more visually appealing than '/'?
I'd like some kind of arrow, but attempts to put in any math symbols, using
e.g. prebreak={$+$} (That is, just try a simple math symbol) results in
errors:
Improper discretionary list.

Ah, think I found one:
\usepackage{pifont}
prebreak={\ding{43}}
