Weird list environment when using French language
Hello,
I appreciate the fact that LyX supports many languages
(including French, my native tongue !), but it seems that
using french or frenchb messes up the itemize
environment (and maybe even lists in general...) :
i) at all depths the bullets are \normalfont\bfseries{--}
ii) no more variable line spacing according to depth
Is that the correct reason ? If yes, how can I fix it ?
I have seen a web page
(http://ymorere.multimania.com/lyx/document.html) in French
where it is said that the bullets have to be redefined in
the LaTeX preamble section (as well as the TOC depths...).
How can I do it ?
I am not familiar enough with LaTeX, and I would like to
reconstruct the same itemize environment that can be used
when english is selected in the Document Layout window
(lists look great in this case).
Please help a poor newbie who wants to check his spelling in
the right language, get correct hyphenation in his French
documents... and still use these professional looking lists
that LyX generates.
Thanks in advance,
Robin

Re: Problems setting up a layout/template
Hi
Further to my problem with the newlfm package and layout and temnplate
files, I think I've traced the problem, but I'm not sure how to
resolve it !
I loaded the template up in lyx 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 and exported both as
latex files. A diff between them showed that 1.1.6 is adding some
babel stuff:
diff newfile-old.tex newfile1.tex
3c3
\documentclass[a4paper,stdletter]{newlfm}
---
\documentclass[a4paper,english,stdletter]{newlfm}
5a6
\usepackage{babel}
Removing the english option and commenting out the \usepackage{babel}
allowed me to process the file. So, 2 questions:
1 - why is the babel stuff interfering with the latex processing ? Is
there anything I can do about it ?
2 - If there is a fundamental incompatibility with the babel package,
what can I do to stop lyx using the babel functionality ?

Including literal text
Hi folks, I'm writing a paper that defines a mass mailing system I'm designing. The document style is article and I'm using LyX Version 1.1.6fix2. I'd like to include an appendix that provides the SQL code that generates the database tables that support the system. How do I include literal text in a way similar to code or pre in HTML and programlisting in DocBook SGML? I can't find literal or code in the FAQ. Thanks, Sheldon.

If the text is in a file, the best is to use InsertInclude and check
'verbatim'.
Otherwise, you can use the LyX-Code environment, but it is a bit
buggy.
You may also use a pretty-printer for your code. It will put some
keywords in bold, etc. The SQL is supported by the listings package.
To use it, write your latex preamble:
\usepackage{listings}
\lstloadlanguages{SQL}
Then, you just have to write in red latex mode, where you want in your
lyx article,:
\lstinputlisting[language=SQL]{yourFile.sql}
If you don't have listings installed, you can find it (with the
documentation) here:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/listings/
I think the lgrind package also supports SQL, and can also be found on
the CTAN.
