boldsymbo
Hello,
When one uses \boldsymbol in math mode, LyX provides the definition
in the preamble:
\newcommand{\boldsymbol}[1]{\mbox{\boldmath $#1$}}
Thix creates an error if you need the whole AMS stuff, because \boldsymbol
is defined there..
Shouldn't the instruction be rewritten

Re: Short Caption Text in TableOfFigures ? / incrementing thepage-counter explicitly
Hello Jean-Marc,
Thanks for your answer.
JMarcNo, LaTeX code is the only way currently. Note that you can mark
only
JMarc\caption and the brackets in LaTeX, and write the rest in normal
LyX.
Did you mean that I can write \caption[short] or \caption{short} in the
LyX floating figure? I didn't get that to work.
Could you give me an example?
Martina 2. I want to add my source code in the appendix using the
Martina colour printing of a2ps, I want to be able to reference to it
Martina though. Can I use something like
Martina \setcounter{page}{\page+2}\label{main.f}
Martina \setcounter{page}{\page+2}\label{init.f}
Martina to do that ? How can I do it exactly ?
JMarcYou mean you want to reference something which is inside your
code?
JMarcYou could try to split the code in several parts and insert labels
in
JMarcbetween. I'm not sure I understand what you mean, though.
I think you understood quite well what I meant. But I don't want to go
about partitioning my code (with a result that the line numbers won't
fit
anymore).
This is how I solved my problem:
\newpage\label{AppFortran:main.f}.\addtocounter{page}{1}
I'm not so happy about the extra dot that I have to put in to get
correct references, but it works fine this way.

How do I get all my captions to use a smaller font and have larger margins than the rest of my text ?
I managed to do this in Lyx using the .lyx/layouts/ files, but this does not result in changes to the generated postscript. Now, I am a complete rookie when it comes to LaTex, so could anyone help me on that? Martina P.S. the LyX/LaTeX output looks great. Better than any MS-Word document I have ever seen.

Re: LyX and LaTeX behaviour differ

From: "Jean-Pierre.Chretien" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: LyX and LaTeX behaviuor differ
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
Using LaTeX to fill-in parametrized pages, I used
to put a default file in the texmf tree which was
replaced by a modified file in the document directory.
This deos not work any more in LyX, the .dep file is not
aware of the existence of a file of the same name in the local
directory and loads the default.
If I export as LaTeX, all is OK again, kpathsea finds the local
before the global.
How are made exactly the dependencies ?
I know how to workaround (put the absolute path, e.g.), howvever
as I would like to keep the \input instruction in tyhe global both
for Lyx and LaTeX users, it would be better if it worked the same.
Perhaps the solution comes with 1.1, as I read recently it will deal with updates
of bib files ?
Regards
--
Jean-Pierre
I answer myself to this old post because I found a better workaround than absolute
path:
instead of giving the same name to the local and global files
and leaving the selection to the kpathsea utility, I put foo_default.tex
in the standard teTeX tree, and put a conditional \input order to select
\IfFileExists{foo.tex}{\input{foo}}{\input{foo_default}}
This allows to remove completely the \input from the template document
and put it in the class or package: local files of standard name can be included
automatically, with a default file if the customized file is not provided.
This is a little bit off the list main topic, sorry.

It seems Reuben to me that LyX-configure should be fixed so that it finds Reuben linuxdoc-sgml.sty without needing such a link.

marked text output
Currently I am using LyX to write my thesis and like it very much. Oone feature however, that I am missing very much in LyX is the clipboard to export text (import works well). The problem is, that normally we work with several programs (LyX of course, Framemaker, Powerpoint and other Windows programs we have to use, we do it with Wabi, normal Text Editors, ...) At the moment it is very hard, to get out some text quickly from LyX. O.k. I could output as text, and then search the lines I need, but in a hundred pages document? I have read, that this is an already known problem. Is there something planned? Maybe an easy to implement workaround could be, that marked text could be exported as text, or that it could be simply printed to stdout? Thanks, Torsten

comma as separator in german numbers
Hello, The german way of spelling numbers isn´t using "." as the floating point in numbers like "1.234" but a comma ",", such that the example would look like "1,234". The trouble is that the postscript output of "1,234" typed in math-mode isn´t "1,234" but carries an extra space:"1, 234". Is there a way around this feature? At the moment I use a workaround: I leave the math-editor for the comma but this doesn´t work for more complicated formulas. Any help is very welcome. Many thanks to the people behind the LYX-project. I don't miss any MS-application at all. Cheers Joern

You probably begin to create output in the dvi before the \begin{document}

to process).
How lyx allows such a thing? I can only open a lyx window and begin my

Perhaps there is a problem with your latex-installation? Did you tried
to latex something outside lyx?
This is impossible, as I said, the message still appears if I ask for

I answer myself to this old post because I found a better workaround than absolute
path:
instead of giving the same name to the local and global files
and leaving the selection to the kpathsea utility, I put foo_default.tex
in the standard teTeX tree, and put a conditional \input order to select
\IfFileExists{foo.tex}{\input{foo}}{\input{foo_default}}
This allows to remove completely the \input from the template document
and put it in the class or package: local files of standard name can be included
automatically, with a default file if the customized file is not provided.
This is a little bit off the list main topic, sorry.

marked text output

comma as separator in german numbers
Hello, The german way of spelling numbers isn´t using "." as the floating point in numbers like "1.234" but a comma ",", such that the example would look like "1,234". The trouble is that the postscript output of "1,234" typed in math-mode isn´t "1,234" but carries an extra space:"1, 234". Is there a way around this feature? At the moment I use a workaround: I leave the math-editor for the comma but this doesn´t work for more complicated formulas. Any help is very welcome. Many thanks to the people behind the LYX-project. I don't miss any MS-application at all. Cheers Joern

You probably begin to create output in the dvi before the \begin{document}
(e.g. just have some plain text in the preamble which LaTeX tries
to process).
How lyx allows such a thing? I can only open a lyx window and begin my
document, I do not do anything else.
Perhaps there is a problem with your latex-installation? Did you tried
to latex something outside lyx?
This is impossible, as I said, the message still appears if I ask for
exporting.

No, it is just that this ^%#&^%$ french style redefines the items when
\begin{document} is encoutered [*]. This means that labels in the
preamble get overwritten. So anything which is done _after_
\begin{document} should be safe.

[*] No, this not is not to say that I forgot an 'n' in "encountered".

boldsymbo
Hello,
When one uses \boldsymbol in math mode, LyX provides the definition
in the preamble:
\newcommand{\boldsymbol}[1]{\mbox{\boldmath $#1$}}
Thix creates an error if you need the whole AMS stuff, because \boldsymbol
is defined there..
Shouldn't the instruction be rewritten
\renewcommand{\boldsymbol}[1]{\mbox{\boldmath $#1$}}
and more generally the same for other standard definition of lyx_sty.C ?

There is a check box in Layout->Document which is supposed to let you
say that you include amsmath.sty, if I remember correctly. This is of
course the best solution.

How do I get all my captions to use a smaller font and have larger margins than the rest of my text ?
