Thank you very much Herbert and Jürgen,

it seems, that tocstyle is now withdrawn from the KOMA-script bundle and 
replaced by tocbasic, which is loaded automatically by KOMA-script.

After a little RTFM I tried and indeed had success :-)
  \RedeclareSectionCommand[tocnumwidth=3.2em]{section}
  \RedeclareSectionCommand[tocindent=1.5em]{subsection}

With KOMA script, just use in preamble

\RedeclareSectionCommand[tocnumwidth=4em]{section}

Change the 4em value to whatever you see fit.

Thank you, Ricardo and thank you el.

I'm using the document class KOMA-Sript book and there I got the 
following results:


1.
  \makeatletter
  \renewcommand\l@chapter{\@dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{3em}}
  \renewcommand\l@section{\@dottedtocline{2}{1.5em}{3em}}
  \renewcommand\l@subsection{\@dottedtocline{3}{1.5em}{3em}}
  \makeatother
does not work. I suppose, that Koma-script book uses other variables.

2.
  \usepackage{tocloft}%TOC section indentations
  \cftsetindents{sec}{1.5em}{3em}
  \cftsetindents{subsec}{4.5em}{3em}
does the job

I think, it would be helpful, if this TOC-indentation feature would be 
integrated in the Koma-script book class :-)


Again, many thanks.

Re: question about TOC

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

This is a LaTeX question.

I would not re-invent the wheel but read up on the tocloft
package which you would use in the LyX preamble.

Thank you, Ricardo,

well, I only needed the section changings, the chapter spacings with 2 
digits are correct.


In the meanwhile I found on stackexchange this suggestion:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/436063/spacing-between-number-and-text-in-toc

\usepackage{tocloft}
\advance\cftsecnumwidth 0.5em\relax
\advance\cftsubsecindent 0.5em\relax
\advance\cftsubsecnumwidth 0.5em\relax

And this gives a fine output for me :-)

Thank you very much,

Don't worry, it's not your fault ;)

You need to change the spacing between the numbering and the heading
itself. You can do that by writing something like this in the preamble

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\l@chapter{
\@dottedtocline{2}{1.5em}{3em}}
\renewcommand\l@section{
\@dottedtocline{2}{1.5em}{3em}}
\makeatother

That will change the spacing for chapters and sections, just play a bit
with the numbers (most of the time you'll only need to change the 3em).

form the documentation:

The locale will be used to look for a collation tailoring for that locale.

This is not a problem/ as most standard collation cases are covered

The OP's question was ambiguous because he showed no bullets at level
1. He's received an easy and correct answer from three different
people, in a timely manner. The OP has not responded. This was the OP's
one and only post to this list. At this point I think we can mark this

Yes. In the LyX environment, press the Enter key twice, and you'll
start a new paragraph. If for some reason that doesn't work, go to the
Environment dropdown and chooose Standard.

the "Quote" environment, it will look like I want it to on the left 
(i.e. it will have the same indentation as paragraph 1 without the 
large dot that indicates a new item) but if it's a long paragraph it 
will also be indented on the right, which I don't want. In other 
words, I would like it to have the same indentation (both right and 
left) as if paragraph 3 were a new item, but without the dot preceding 
paragraph 3. Hope this makes sense.
After doing everything as above, with the cursor in paragraph 3, use 
Insert > Custom Item to open a custom item inset. Leave the inset empty. 
I would put it at the start of the paragraph (just after the bullet 
inserted by LyX) for neatness, but I don't think it actually matters 
where in the paragraph you put it. The undesired bullet will still 
appear in the LyX GUI, but when you view the document it should be gone.

Try setting paragraph 3 with the Standard layout and indent it. Hope I 
understood what you meant.


By "indent it", I meant "increase the depth" (by pressing the tab key, 
for example).

Thanks, Helge. Indeed, I want to automate the procedure you describe

accomplish that by writing a program, as I have dozens of minipages to

Den 12.05.2019 18:22, skrev Paul Smith:

Dear All,

I have a large document where I have many lines that are only

@@

Now, I want to insert all lines between two consecutive lines of @@
into a minipage. Can one do that automatically and not one by one?


Not to my knowledge, no.

Advanced search & replace lets you search for and/or replace stuff that 
isn't only normal text. So you can replace an image with another. You 
can search for & replace math formulas. You may also replace "@@" with a 
minipage.


But if I understand correctly, you want to search for:

@@

some

lines

@@

and have it replaced with:

---start minipage--

some

lines

---end minipage--


And you want this to happen several times through your document, where 
the exact contents of "some lines" vary. This is not possible.  You may 
only search for fixed content, not variable. So you can search for


@@

some

lines

@@

But such a search will only match exactly, you can't get it to also match

@@

other

lines

@@

And I guess that is what you wanted?


LyX lets you mark "some lines", you can then Insert->Box->Simple Frame 
and get your lines inside a minipage. And then repeat this mark & insert 
operation for all other occurences.


If you want to automate this, consider taking advantage of the fact that 
a LyX file is a kind of text file. Software that deals with text (sed, 
awk, or many others) may be able to do what you want. And if there are 
hundreds of cases, writing a one-off program to do this may pay off. 
(Pay off in that it may be faster than editing it all by hand.)  
Otherwise, or if you aren't into programming, just edit manually.

Re: Question: how to run Reconfigure without GUI

I futureproofed it a little :-)-O

LYXVER=$(lyx --version 2>&1 \

Heartbleed was an OpenSSL vulnerability by the way, and, though Bashdoor

Beware that pushd and popd are bash-only, and do not appear in dash or
any /bin/sh one should be using for shellscripts. I'm of the opinion,
especially after the Heartbleed fiasco, that bash is just too big an
attack surface to use for shellscripts.

In more lightweight shells, it's done more like this:

#!/bin/sh
orgdir=`pwd`
cd /home/you/application/directory
./my_special_application arg1 arg2 arg3
cd $orgdir

Nice. Thanks for sharing I actually never saw that trick for saving the
directory in a bash function (I've only used pushd and popd
interactively). I am used to saving "$(pwd)" to a variable and then "cd"

One can also do
( cd dir ; ./command )

But concerning the alias, I am a bit surprised because it seems to 
create files at the root of the home directory.

You can call the configure script directly. For example,

  python -tt "/usr/local/share/lyx/configure.py"

Be sure to run it inside your home directory. On Linux, this is ~/.lyx.
(note that you can set your home directory at run-time to any directory

Already tried "lyx -batch -x reconfigure" but lyx ask for an input 
file, which I consider should not happen; I’m considering a bug report.
I tried the same thing, with the same result (even if I surround 
"reconfigure" with quotes), so I agree that it's probably a bug.

Are you sure you are using superscript? I get that symbol if I use the
script *font* and try to type a minus. How are you getting the superscript?
This problem occurs when the character you put the superscript on is a 
special type.  For example, I often use \mathbb{R}^n and terms like it.  
In LyX, if you type \mathbb  and hit space, or use the menu selection, 
you are put in that blackboard bold mode.  If you don't hit another 
space after the  R to get out of that mode --- there are red corners 
indicating the special mode on-screen --- then you actually are entering 
\mathbb{R^n}, and TeX gets very confused about what that n is.  With the 
tap on the spacebar, the red corners disappear and all works as it 
should.  The same holds for scripted characters like \mathcal{A}  and 
similar things.

I decided to install the  most recent versions available and found LyX
2.2 and Texlive 2016 that could be installed over the internet.

Thinking of possible conflicts I removed Lyx 2.1 and Texlive2013 and
then installed first Texlive2016 (as user) and then LyX 2.2 (as
administrator). Meanwhile things are running as I want them to.

Question:
Would there have been a conflict without prior removal of the old versions?
Or putting it the other way around: Would there be a conflict if
installing these older versions again using Mageia's software manager
and then have both versions installed?

PS: I think there is an option to mark packages as "never install" or
something.

If you need a completely customized class, then there are two sorts of
things you need to do. The first is at the LaTeX level: You need to
write a class (cls) file, or else at least write a pacakge file (sty)
that provides the additional functionality. I'm afraid there is not much
to say about how to do this other than: You will need to learn a lot of
LaTeX. I personally find the /Guide to LaTeX/ and /LaTeX Companion/
really helpful. Looking at how the basic files that are provided with
LaTeX work is also helpful. In your case, I'd guess that book.cls is
pretty close to what you need. As someone else mentioned, though, the
Koma Script classes are extremely flexible, and it may be that you could
adapt them to your needs. They come with extensive documentation. Look
for the file scrguien.pdf on your computer. Or just look online.

If you can handle the LaTeX part, then you will need a LyX layout file
for the new class. Writing these is less difficult, and you can probably
just adapt the one for book.cls or, if you use Koma Script, for
scrbook.cls. Documentation for this is found in the Customization
manual, chapter 5. People here will be happy to offer help on the LyX
part and, in so far as we can, on the LaTeX part. But not everyone here
is really expert with LaTeX.

Richard

PS It looks as if maybe you are trying to create a collection of
articles. If so, then you might have a look at the combine.cls class.

 Thank you very much in advance,

Please take a look here fore an explanation:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/208181/why-did-my-tex-related-gui-program-stop-working-in-mac-os-x-yosemite

Can you please report the bug to Apple (and let us know what they say)?

A workaround is being worked on in LyX and should be out somewhat
soon. The might be an experimental build available if you are willing
to test it.

Hi Raymond,

It's common to ask your Uni's administrators to upgrade the LyX
version there. 2.0.3 is quite old and if they are responsible they
should have an easy way of doing it.

Failing that, you either use 2.0.8.1 on your laptop (this is what I
would personally do if I used both computers frequently) or you can
use 2.1.x and export to 2.0.x (file  export) whenever you want to use
the file on the uni computer.

You need to export the document to the 2.0.x format: File Export 
2.0.x. LyX 2.0.3 cannot read 2.1.x documents. The 2.1.x format did not 
exist when 2.0.3 was released!

When you make the outliner module, please keep in mind that if an
outline is not lightning fast for the touch-typist, it's worse than
useless, because the author forgets the point he was trying to make
while reaching for the mouse or typing an arcane and difficult key
combination. An outliner must be faster than the author's thought
processes, and must take zero thought to operate. Otherwise, it gets in
the way.

I'm the originator of VimOutliner, and if anyone has any questions
about outlines, I'll be glad to share what I've learned.

 Hello!

 I have got a question concerning the font encoding in lyx.

 I want to create a German document, that is searchable. Unfortunenatly
 it is not possible to search for words like Bücher oder Dänemark.
 If I want to copy the word from the document into a text editor, all
 German umlaute are broken. (Bucher or Danemark)

This is strange. It works very nice here with the LyX default (T1) font
encoding. Maybe you use the OT1 font encoding.

...

 I also tried some of the font encoding options like utf8 or utf8x, but
 that doesn't work

These are not *font* encodings but the encoding of the LaTeX input (the
*.tex source file).

 Does anybody know a solution to this problem?

Try to figure out how to set the font encoding to T1 (e.g. in
ToolsConfiguration).
