I cleaned up your suggestion up a bit (attached). However, there is
still the issue with the extra subsection layout. It cannot be done

I guess what would be needed is something like a section counter

appendix inset, then use .A, .B, etc., otherwise use the normal counter.

I don't think we should do this by default. We could add a second inset

I tried to use the "Rotate sideways" option in LyX but it is hard to read the PDF online since the text on the sideways page is sideways. Daniel, I don't know if my experiences apply to your situation, but when I have a wide table and I rotate it, it does not display properly with the dvips preview, but does when I compile the file to a .pdf. And, yes, it is difficult to read on-screen unless you use a reader like MasterPDFEditor which allows on-screen rotation of a PDF file. Hi Rich, Yes, I had compiled the sideways float to PDF. If I understood you correctly, then your suggestion is to leave the rotation of the pages to the user. I guess most PDF viewers support the rotation of pages these days. Though I am a bit worried whether every reader of my text is able to do it. But it made me aware of one side-effect of my solution. The default zoom in many PDF readers will be lowered so that the rotated page fits in. This leads to all portrait pages showing on a lower zoom than normal. However, I am still inclined to think that the average user can zoom a page but less to rotate it. But it's a trade-off. Daniel

Also, with complex graphics, is there a way to present the full picture in miniature, with clickable areas to bring up sub-pictures? I know I can do this with html+svg, and it would be very handy with LyX too. What I try to do these days, with new construction, is to make try to make sure nothing I use is more than 300 to 500 pixels wide. By filtering the big stuff out at the authoring stage, I don't need to jump through hoops at the publishing stage. Unfortunately, it is hard to break down my diagram without loosing some of the representation that makes it easier to grasp the information it contains. Same with the tables. Cutting them down makes it harder to comprehend them. Concerning the phone: I guess, given my limitations, the afterpage solution is better than LyX's default sideways float solution since the phone can then be turned sideways to read the sideways page which offers more space. So maybe LyX should have an extended feature for this.

Hi,

I tried to use the "Rotate sideways" option in LyX but it is hard to

I was just wondering whether that seems to be the best way to do it or

Some form of it will arise any time you want to emend or amend a layout file. I wonder if a longer-term solution is required, then. Might there be some way we could have 'extensions' of this kind? Maybe they could be named things like stdinsets.inc.ext and they would always be loaded after the corresponding other file was. That sounds like a good solution to me.

By default LyX loads standard layouts and insets. Is there a way to extend them without overwriting the default .inc file and without using a module? Let's say I want to extend the standard Note style. I don't want to use a module since I want to make a non-optional change to the Note inset. For example, I want to use another font size for all LyX notes. If I understood correctly, I can just put a copy of the stdinset.inc file from the library to the user directory. But this will have the unwelcome effect to overwrite whatever is in the stdinset.inc in the library directory. So, to avoid unwanted consequences, I will have to update my user stdinset.inc every time the library stdinset.inc changes, for example, in a new version of LyX. So I would rather like to *extend* the current library file by just the font-size changes by InsetLayout Note:Note CopyStyle Note Font SizeSmall EndFont End So LyX should load the library's stdinset.inc first and then load the code that extends it next. Is there currently a way to do this? Daniel

The feature works in rc1 now. Great! But there is no UI preference to set the scaling, right?

But wouldn't this be a nice feature to have in LyX right next to the Save Defaults button? Maybe your script could be used for that? It's a reasonable request. Note, however, that it would essentially involve replacing all the Document settings, at least if we really want to use the defaults. Seems fine to me. Am I missing what is problematic about it? I would even go so far that exporting and importing document settings would be nice. Actually, come to think of it, here's another way to do it: Create a new document; cut and paste the content of the old one. Yes, that sounds like a reasonable alternative. At the moment the big problem with that is, as far as I know, there is no way in LyX to copy and paste the content with tracked changes. Though I think that could be fixed: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10770 Daniel

The check for a SVG -> PDFTeX converter ans a SVG -> PSTeX converter is
supposed to happen between these two checks.
The question is why this is not the case for you.
Please check: Do you really run a recent (enough) version of LyX? I
suppose this is LyX 2.3beta1 (the Windows installer), but please open
the configre.py file (in your case: C:/Users/Daniel/AppData/Local/LyX
2.3/Resources/configure.py) with an editor and check whether it contains
the following lines:
#
checkProg('a SVG -> PDFTeX converter', [inkscape_name],
rc_entry = [ r'\converter svg pdftex "python -tt
$$s/scripts/svg2pdftex.py %% $$p$$i $$p$$o" ""'],

Having set the native support, I get an error saying
LaTeX Error: \postnotedelim undefined.
It comes from a line in my preamble:

I have the following options set for Biblatex:
style=authoryear, firstinits=true, natbib=true, backend=biber,
doi=false, isbn=false, url=false

There are actually two packages
1. fourier, which LyX uses when setting the font under Document >

2. utopia.
The fourier package has the effect that you see on your output. Maybe
this is some (known?) problem with the package? You can also try to ask
the question on http://tex.stackexchange.com
Maybe an alternative would is to use utopia instead? So rather than

Dear Julio,
I think the result is as it should be. The page numbers never get turned

Hi Julio,
So you want to rotate the content only on one of your pages, right?

For only one page with a rotated table I had no problems with using

Yes that seems a bit nicer.

Where to insert section labels?
I used to insert section labels right after the heading:
1. Some heading[sec:Some-heading]
This is actually how it is done in the User Guide as well. However, this
produces the following source:
\section{Some heading\label{sec:Some-heading}}
But it actually leads to problems when I tried to have uppercase section
headings with:
\usepackage{sectsty}
\sectionfont{\MakeUppercase}
I guess the error occurs for the same reason as
\MakeUppercase{\label{sec:Some-heading}} generates an error.
So I looked around and saw that often the label is inserted *after* the
section:
\section{Some heading}\label{sec:Some-heading}
But I am not sure how to achieve this with LyX. So instead I did this:
1. Some heading
[sec:Some-heading]
Where the label is just inserted in an extra default paragraph. Apart
from looking a bit odd, it seems to work and not to create extra spacing
or so. So is this the "saver" way to insert section labels in LyX?

distributed with LyX.
I think there is a way to avoid the problem. Unfortunately only partially.
The pdfcomment package actually provides a way to insert line breaks in
comments by using \textCR. So one can just replace blank lines (\par) by
this command. Like this:
Preamble
\usepackage{letltxmacro}
\LetLtxMacro{\oldpdfcomment}{\pdfcomment}
\renewcommand{\pdfcomment}[2][]{{%
\let\par\textCR
\oldpdfcomment[#1]{#2}%
}}
\LetLtxMacro{\oldpdfmarkupcomment}{\pdfmarkupcomment}
\renewcommand{\pdfmarkupcomment}[3][]{{%
\let\par\textCR
\oldpdfmarkupcomment[#1]{#2}{#3}%
}}
EndPreamble
Unfortunately, this solves the problem only partially since line breaks
are allowed only in comments and not in the markup (first mandatory
argument of \pdfmarkupcomment). But the markup is actually
lyxgrayedout's main argument. So this conflicts with its MultiPar.
Let me know what you think. And maybe you have suggestions for improvement.
If that works then I would suggest to do the same in the PDF Comments
module since it does not support line breaks within comments so far.
Just realized that Arguments seem not to support MultiPar. So it does
not work at all for \pdfmarkupcomment... But still the suggestion stands
for \pdfcomment and related ones.

Note:Comment seems not to accept Requires
For some reason Note:Comment seems not to let me require a package. Here
is how I tried to change it (my changes are marked by a comment in the
previous line):
stdinsets.inc:
...
Provides stdinsets 1
# load hyperref
Provides hyperref 1
...
InsetLayout Note:Comment
LabelString Comment
# LatexType environment
LatexType command
# LatexName comment
LatexName pdfcomment
BgColor notebg
LabelFont
Color comment
SizeSmall
EndFont
# MultiPar true
MultiPar false
Display false
HTMLTag div
HTMLIsBlock true
HTMLStyle
div.note_comment {
display: none;
}
EndHTMLStyle
# requires pdfcomment package
Requirespdfcomment
End
It works just fine when I use the exact same in InsetLayout
Note:Greyedout. So probably there is something particular about
Note:Comment that I am unaware of.

BgColor for Arguments
It seems one can set style wise pretty much everything for Arguments except for BgColor. Is there a reason why is there is no BgColor for Arguments? Daniel

You could probably redefine the note inset in local layout, or you could use inset-forall to convert a LyX note to e.g. a Greyed Out inset. Thanks! I'll give it a try. I guess would be a nice feature if one sends one's drafts to someone who does not have LyX. Maybe I can even manage to have the standard PDF comments from the PDF Comments module. Wouldn't it be nice to have such a feature integrated directly into the module? I think a general user-friendly feature to turn some insets into others (perhaps which can be converted to which can be specified in the definition of the layout).

This is as in the file attached which does not do the trick either since the new empty line in between is commented out. Is this actually a bug? No, a new feature. LyX now has two types of separators: one that inserts an empty line and thus paragraph break (the behavior of the separator in LyX < 2.1) and one that just splits the environment without a paragraph break. The latter one now is the default. Right-click on the separator and select "Paragraph Break". See User Guide 3.4.6 for details. Works like a charms. Thanks! Daniel

My filename contains an apostrophe as in "isn't". Not sure when I changed that. For some reason Sumatra shows the file with the apostrophe without problems when viewing the PDF. But on forward search Sumatra complains that it can't find the PDF without the apostrophe. Not sure whether this is a problem on LyX's or Sumatra's side. (Or maybe mine because one shoudnt use apostrophes in filenames?) The same problem is in LyX 2.1.5. Daniel
