Custom function names

2008-02-02 Thread Daniel CLEMENT
LyX has a convenient drop-down list for math function names, but I'd like to add some. E.g. it is customary (in French) to call ch instead of cosh the hyperbolic cosine function. Could I add my custom names to the list? Or maybe I could use ERT as a workaround (but how, in math mode)? TIA -

In the new manual Math.lyx, there is a solution (section 15 Functions ) : As an example, if you want to define the sgn function, you put this lines in the LaTeX preamble : \DeclareMathOperator{\sgn}{sgn} Then you can use \sgn in your formulas. Hope it helps. Siegfried.

First page customizing in koma-script

2008-02-02 Thread Michael Färber
I have noticed that the first page of a document using koma-script seems to be quite regulated, e.g. it only allows pre-defined fields like author, title, publisher etc., however, I have to use more fields. Can you point me to information how to customise the front page? Thanks a lot in
