This works, but I don't know why
Hi all,
My Story environment seems to work, and that's great news because almost all
my custom environments will be similar. This was created by cannibalizing
Herbert's LyX-Code-Layout at the top of Herbert's lyx/layouts/layouts.html
page, and some code in Herbert's lyx/layouts/myClass.inc file.
But some questions remain. Why is it necessary to bring up lists and items?
In fact it must be necessary because when they were taken out the Environment
margins were no longer controllable, but aren't lists and items for bulleted
lists and the like? This environment has nothing to do with bulleted lists.
My other question is how to place a centered title for the story. Would this
be a label? I might put some of these environments in a framebox, so the
title and the text must be together.
Anyway, here's the Story environment:

Check out my Warning environment
Thanks to all of you for your help, including Guenter Milde, who mailed me
offlist with an explanation of labels in LyX.
Anyway, the Warning environment automatically prints the word WARNING on top,
suitably centered, then prints the text of the warning with reduced margins.
In the final product it has a line above the word WARNING and below the last
word of the warning text. I couldn't figure out how to do the lines in LyX
but that's not a big issue anyway.
The only bad part is it's ragged right in the finished product -- but that's
not that terrible either.
So here it is:
Style Warning

LatexName warning_l

After a fashion.
I do not use CSS but I embed a header in the title page of each

Then I put something like (single paragraph labeled as LaTex):
\begin{rawhtml}
centera href='/index.html'

/center
hr
\end{rawhtml}
This doed not show in the printed output.
Inline links can be added as (inlined TeX):
\htmladdnormallink{Link Text}{http://URL}
Only Link Text appears in the printed output.
If you use:
\htmladdnormallinkfoot{Link Text}{http://URL}
http://URL; will be added as a footnote to Link Text

Bibliography reference and cross reference
Hi, the work performed for the delivery of lyx 1.1.6 is just great, yet, I see two regressions for the time beeing : the insertion of cross references between to files is now impossible, if one tries to follow the tutorial. If in file B, you want to insert a reference to file A, and follow the way it is explained in the tutorial, you switch from file B to file A, you choose the menu "insert cross reference", you select the reference, and when you try to come back to file B, the window where you selected the reference to add DISAPPEARS. This behaviour is teh one of the old "insert reference" way of inserting references in one file (1.1.5 fix 2) the way the references to the bibliography is performed in lyx 1.1.6 makes it very tedious to set references to a document referenced in the bibliography, if the bibliography is defined in another file. I would like to have the same behaviour for inserting bibliography references as the one that used to be performed for the insertion of cross references. Of course, there are ways to walk around the problems, by inserting the reference (bibliography or cross reference) in the file where it is defined, then cut and paste it in the file where you want it to appear. I did it, so believe me, there is no fun. The behaviours I proposed should not be very hard to set in a next release of lyx, since they are very similar to behaviours that were present in the 1.1.5 fix 2 release. Thanks. Stephane

Re: German LyX-Version
I'm using a german version of lyx 1.1.2. When i insert a float, the table- and the figure-floats will be named correctly (Tabelle xxx, Abbildung xxx), but t he algorithm-floats get the english name (Algorithm xxx). May I change this behaviour manually, so that the algorithm-floats (Algorithm us xxx) and the list of algorithms (Verzeichnis der Algorithmen) will be nam ed with their german terms? You can change it, but these names seem not to be affected by changes in the document language. They are explicitly defined in algorithm.sty. So, you have to make a second version of algorithm.sty, say alggerman.sty and change the names in the file. Use this new style, instead of the old one. There should be a more elegant way, tough. j. b. oliveira

Check out my Warning environment
Thanks to all of you for your help, including Guenter Milde, who mailed me
offlist with an explanation of labels in LyX.
Anyway, the Warning environment automatically prints the word WARNING on top,
suitably centered, then prints the text of the warning with reduced margins.
In the final product it has a line above the word WARNING and below the last
word of the warning text. I couldn't figure out how to do the lines in LyX
but that's not a big issue anyway.
The only bad part is it's ragged right in the finished product -- but that's
not that terrible either.
So here it is:

Bibliography reference and cross reference
Hi, the work performed for the delivery of lyx 1.1.6 is just great, yet, I see two regressions for the time beeing : the insertion of cross references between to files is now impossible, if one tries to follow the tutorial. If in file B, you want to insert a reference to file A, and follow the way it is explained in the tutorial, you switch from file B to file A, you choose the menu "insert cross reference", you select the reference, and when you try to come back to file B, the window where you selected the reference to add DISAPPEARS. This behaviour is teh one of the old "insert reference" way of inserting references in one file (1.1.5 fix 2) the way the references to the bibliography is performed in lyx 1.1.6 makes it very tedious to set references to a document referenced in the bibliography, if the bibliography is defined in another file. I would like to have the same behaviour for inserting bibliography references as the one that used to be performed for the insertion of cross references. Of course, there are ways to walk around the problems, by inserting the reference (bibliography or cross reference) in the file where it is defined, then cut and paste it in the file where you want it to appear. I did it, so believe me, there is no fun. The behaviours I proposed should not be very hard to set in a next release of lyx, since they are very similar to behaviours that were present in the 1.1.5 fix 2 release. Thanks. Stephane

Re: German LyX-Version
I'm using a german version of lyx 1.1.2. When i insert a float, the table- and the figure-floats will be named correctly (Tabelle xxx, Abbildung xxx), but t he algorithm-floats get the english name (Algorithm xxx). May I change this behaviour manually, so that the algorithm-floats (Algorithm us xxx) and the list of algorithms (Verzeichnis der Algorithmen) will be nam ed with their german terms? You can change it, but these names seem not to be affected by changes in the document language. They are explicitly defined in algorithm.sty. So, you have to make a second version of algorithm.sty, say alggerman.sty and change the names in the file. Use this new style, instead of the old one. There should be a more elegant way, tough. j. b. oliveira

This works, but I don't know why
Hi all,
My Story environment seems to work, and that's great news because almost all
my custom environments will be similar. This was created by cannibalizing
Herbert's LyX-Code-Layout at the top of Herbert's lyx/layouts/layouts.html
page, and some code in Herbert's lyx/layouts/myClass.inc file.
But some questions remain. Why is it necessary to bring up lists and items?
In fact it must be necessary because when they were taken out the Environment
margins were no longer controllable, but aren't lists and items for bulleted
lists and the like? This environment has nothing to do with bulleted lists.
My other question is how to place a centered title for the story. Would this
be a label? I might put some of these environments in a framebox, so the
title and the text must be together.
Anyway, here's the Story environment:

Thanks Guenter!
I tried your code (right out of your email). It worked perfectly in LyX, but
when I did View->Postscript, it messaged "The operation resulted in an empty
file". If I had to guess, command \keywords didn't get an argument, but I
wouldn't know how to tweak the style so it would.

The behaviours I proposed should not be very hard to set in a next release of lyx, since they are very similar to behaviours that were present in the 1.1.5 fix 2 release. Thanks. Stephane

You can change it, but these names seem not to be affected by
changes in the document language. They are explicitly defined in
algorithm.sty.
So, you have to make a second version of algorithm.sty, say
alggerman.sty and change the names in the file. Use this new style,
instead of the old one.
There should be a more elegant way, tough.

Numbered figures and tables?
Hi all Technical books have figures and tables with built in headings and numbers. Does LyX support that natively, or do I need to make my own? Thanks Steve -- Steve Litt Webmaster, Troubleshooters.Com http://www.troubleshooters.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Exporting Lyx->LaTeX without Lyx code
Hi!! Can I use the Export->LaTex option but saying Lyx that delete any Lyx Code in the LaTeX output? Thanks -- Adolfo Pachón (Director Desarrollos).
Controlling hyphenation
The first few pages of my book hyphenated more than expected. In one case it hyphenated "experiences" after the x. Why bother -- the text would be much more readable without it, even if there were sizeable interword gaps. Is there a way to tell LyX the minimum wordlength and minimum chars before and after the dash? Absent that, is there a way to turn off hyphenation altogether?

Just pronounce it like the lych in polychromatic. There is no need to attempt to aspirate the CH im true Greek of Slav fashion. For native speakers of English, attempts to aspirate CH or KH produce unseemy gobs of mucus.
