Hi,
I want to create a booklet which has text on the right-hand page, while
the left-hand page contains a graph, an image, a table or something
similar.
I suppose I can do this manually by inserting page breaks all over but is
there a package that controls such flow automatically?
Could be tricky, unless such a package exists. Here are some ideas:
* Uncheck two-sided document, to get a single-sided layout.
* Set a custom paper size, so that one page output by LyX
covers *both* of the real pages.
I.e. if your plan is an A4 portrait book, then set the document to
be A3 landscape.
* Specify an enormous left margin, so that normal text actually
print on the right half of the "double" page. This way,
you get text on the right-hand side, just the way you want.
* Put your figures in "margin notes", which will appear to
the left. With some tweaking of the margin separation, they
will be the way you want.
There is one problem here, the page numbers won't be right. So this
won't work if you need page numbers.
Another way, that won't work with page numbers either:
* Create your document normally in LyX. Put figures in floats,
and set the floats to be on separate "float pages".
* A page will now be either text or figure, never both. But
you will probably not get this to match odd and even pages
exactly.
So the last part of the job is to make a PDF with LyX, and then use
pdf tools to rearrange the pages the way you want them.
