Hi [email protected] I'm trying to create a 3 column 2 page folded leaflet (what the German call a faltblat & that a keyword for some google searces) (papersize=a4)
I have been looking lots of places before I asked here, but now stuck, any ideas or RTFM URLs or dummy leaflet sources please ? I'm using lyx-1.4.5.1_1 on FreeBSD 7.1-BETA2 I previously lookied here: http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/leaflet/ ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/leaflet.zip which contains: 102148 Dec 22 2004 leaflet-manual.pdf 44696 Dec 22 2004 leaflet.dtx 767 Aug 6 2004 leaflet.ins 152621 Dec 22 2004 leaflet.pdf & http://www.uni-muenster.de/TeXdoc/texlive.unix/texmf/tex/latex/leaflet/ has just leaflet.cls 09-Apr-2002 14:52 3.3K LaTeX-Klassendatei But though leaflet-manual.pdf is a 2 page similar to what I want, there is no source for it that I could copy & start changing. & I dont know an email to ask for that. The only source is leaflet.dtx which produces the large ref doc leaflet.pdf, nice but I'd like the source to the 2 page too ! Well a dummy is not so essential as I have another here: http://www.berklix.org/bim/leaflet/newest/leaflet_e.tex That produces a .ps with 3 columns on 2 pages. ... Though not when using lyx When I import into lyx, I lose the 3 column effect ! Any Ideas ? I looked at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg52621.html Where in Dec 2006 Ingar wrote someone: As it works with latex you probably do not have a layout file that tell LyX how to use the leaflet class. These are not that difficult to produce, and as leaflet seem to be quit close to the standard article-class you only need to make a copy of the article.layoutfile to fit your need. All you (probably) have to do is to find where LyX has a file called article.layout and make a copy, calling it leaflet.layout in the same directory as article.layout. Open leaflet.layout in your favorite texteditor and change second line # \DeclareLaTeXClass{article} to # \DeclareLaTeXClass{leaflet} run reconfigure in lyx and restart lyx and leaflet should appear. You might use some ert and the preamble to tune the class, but most basic functionalities should be there. for more details check chapter 5. in the Customization.lyx that are shipped with LyX. Which I did, but I'm totaly new to lyx, & could really use a bit of help, like a dummy file in 3 cols & what to click to import ! (an Import type of "No Web" is far from intuitive!) I have little idea, despite excessive clicking & scrolling of lyx embedded help & http://lyx.org & wiki, whether this is possible, & if so if I need to add extra software, & where its documented. If lyx is capable of this ? Maybe for now I should just fall back to vi of the raw .tex until hopefuly one of you lyx folks can throw me a lifebelt ? :-) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey: BSDUnixLinux C Prog Admin SysEng Consult Munich www.berklix.com Mail plain ASCII text.
