docbook change style?

Ok, the relevant part in the dtd is:
!element figure - - ((eps | ph ), img*, caption?)
!attlist figure
loc cdata tbp
caption cdata Caption
!-- eps attributes added by mb and td --
!element eps - o empty

!element img - o empty

So the loc attribute in figure is the location.
I can guess what eps means, but ph?
So looking to the latex transformation file I see that ph is transformed as:
ph+ \\vspace{[VSPACE]}\n\\par +
/ph
So this means that ph is in reality a vertical space. But why call it ph???
One of those, eps or ph, is mandatory, then it comes the img element. What
does it means img here, not an eps image?
Ok, reading the html transformation file I see that it is used with html.
The last element is the caption that is optional.
Looking again to the latex transforming file I would expect it to work.
What is the problem with it? I have been able to make it work.
So we want to output something like this:
figure loc=here
eps file=/home/jamatos/lyx/devel/teste/platypus.eps
img src=/home/jamatos/lyx/devel/teste/platypus.png
captionLyX's symbol/caption
/figure
The eps figure is for the print version and the img is for html.
The model used for figure is really, really weird, but I can make it work.
If you are using 1.1.6 the file to look to modify is src/insets/figinset.C,
the linuxdoc function.
For 1.2 I will add the code needed to the cvs to make it work like this. Is

space between twocollumns
Dear LyXers, I know, it is rather LaTeX... but how can I set the space separating the columns in twocolumns style from its default of 4 mm to 6 mm? Guenter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

have you tried to change it with \setlength{\columnsep}{6mm} in your
latex preamble?

Citation again. et al.
Hi,
one more citation problem and I still do not know whom else to ask...
I would like to force an "et al." in my citation. If I believe Lamport
something like
Author = {Name, test and others}
Should do the trick. Well not so with the geralpha style I'm afraid
because this gets shown as
Name, Test und others: and so on
What am I missing?
Thanks,
JP
docbook change style?
Howdy: I've recently tried LyX, after using Latex, but I have a some question's: I have started to write some documents in LinuxDoc, and by the use of some sgml woodoo, I am able to get pictures, images etc. in my documents. It seems the linuxdoc.dtd, on my system, supports figures (eps), where do I tweak Lyx so it will make use of them ? I've tried DocBook, but I think the style is bad, too much open space, my documents gets much to big with empty space, this is specially a pain when printed. So if I can not tweak Lyx how do I tweak the DocBook style to make it look more like LinuxDoc? .Or any other way or keeping the nice LinuxDoc style and use LyX to implant figures etc. ? Best Regards Arnold K Christensen

I never saw an example using figure with linuxdoc. And just reading the dtd and reverse the tags meaning by examples wasn't over exciting to do it.

There are several parameters that can be controled in the printing stylesheets, and I suspect that LyX inserts some white spaces that aren't always needed.

in my bib database created by pybliographic is written like:

RE: Citation again. et al.

Ok, the relevant part in the dtd is:
So the loc attribute in figure is the location.
I can guess what eps means, but ph?
So looking to the latex transformation file I see that ph is transformed as:
+ "\\vspace{[VSPACE]}\n\\par" +
So this means that ph is in reality a vertical space. But why call it ph???
One of those, eps or ph, is mandatory, then it comes the img element. What
does it means img here, not an eps image?
Ok, reading the html transformation file I see that it is used with html.
The last element is the caption that is optional.
Looking again to the latex transforming file I would expect it to work.
What is the problem with it? I have been able to make it work.
So we want to output something like this:
LyX's symbol
The eps figure is for the print version and the img is for html.
The model used for figure is really, really weird, but I can make it work.
If you are using 1.1.6 the file to look to modify is src/insets/figinset.C,
the linuxdoc function.
For 1.2 I will add the code needed to the cvs to make it work like this. Is
it ok?

alphabetical order
I have written a little glossary in which the entries are ordered alphabetically. I've used the description environment. Sometimes I need to add some new entry. What can I do to respect the alphabetical order? (It's not convenient to order the entries manually when there are a lot..) -- Cheers, Davide Cavallari Leggi di Lackland: (1) Mai essere il primo.

accessing document metadata
I'm wondering what facilities are available in lyx to access document metadata and use it in the document. For example there may be a requirement to include the path and filename of a document in the footer. Also, if you have a document under version control, is there a way to access the version information and include that somewhere in the document (such as the footer) Thanks in advance for any answers or hints of how to go about doing this. -Ryan -- Ryan T.

But there are small problemes with that ($ is math mode, and you may have some characters (like _) that tex doesnt like very much...), in a \verb something, maybe ? Yannick
Re: Re: kewl resource

A\kern -0.1em B will close the gap between A and B by one tenth the width of a "M" in that font. Choose from a myriad of units (pt, cm, in etc.). Allan. (ARRae)
eps figures do not appear in the editor
I have RedHat 7.2 + LyX 1.1.6fix4. The eps figures do not appear in the editor, only empty frames. The figure are OK on the printout and ghostview. I hadn't this problem before (RH 7.0 + lyx1.1.5). (Another minor problem, perhaps related: On the math panel two buttons are empty. The one for \sum \int etc. the other for relations like < > = etc. The buttons work correctly, on the other hand.)
