Change Chapter Heading (Book Style)
Hello! To write a longer essay I'm using the standard Book-Class which works very fine for me. I just need one change in the layout: Instead of Chapter [x] [Chaptername] I want to have a shorter Chapter heading like this: [x]. [Chaptername] Since I'm relatively new to Lyx (not to name Latex) I hope someone can help me with this? Is there a simple solution? Thanks a lot and have a nice day, Nicolas Keller
Optional argument to latex-command
Hi
I'm trying to use a command with an optional argument in Lyx. I'm not
very experienced in Latex, but I found an example which I put in the
preamble.
\newcommand{\example}[2][YYY]{
Mandatory arg: #2; \\
Optional arg: #1. \\
}
When I use it with one argument, it works nicely... but when I give
two arguments it still uses the optional argument. What's going on,
i.e. what am I missing here?

Isn't the rule to give the optional argument in square brackets. i.e.
\example[optional]{mandatory}

If you want to use the optional argument, you should write
\example[opt. arg]{mand. arg}
and not
\example{mand. arg}{opt. arg}

I had lyx running on 2diskX-Linux (that's linux + X-windows on 2 floppies) on a borrowed old laptop with M$-win on it. Few megs worth of libraries and the lyx binaries were placed on the FAT32 partition, and symbolic linked in ramdisk after booting off the floppy. Did not tex, but I could edit my work on the go.

You should install all the packages that the lyx package recommends: > dpkg -s lyx Package: lyx ... Recommends: latex, dvips, tetex-base | ltxgraph, perl5 | perl5-thread | perl-5.004 | perl-5.005 | perl-5.005-thread, tetex-extra, gv, ispell | aspell The '|' means or. Assuming you already have perl, what you need is apt-get install dvips gv tetex-extra ispell or apt-get install dvips gv tetex-extra aspell BTW, if you had used an apt frontend like dselect or aptitude to install lyx, it would have automatically install these packages.

Change Chapter Heading (Book Style)
Hello! To write a longer essay I'm using the standard Book-Class which works very fine for me. I just need one change in the layout: Instead of "Chapter [x] [Chaptername]" I want to have a shorter Chapter heading like this: "[x]. [Chaptername]" Since I'm relatively new to Lyx (not to name Latex) I hope someone can help me with this? Is there a simple solution? Thanks a lot and have a nice day, Nicolas Keller
Optional argument to latex-command
Hi
I'm trying to use a command with an optional argument in Lyx. I'm not
very experienced in Latex, but I found an example which I put in the
preamble.
\newcommand{\example}[2][YYY]{
Mandatory arg: #2; \\
Optional arg: #1. \\
}
When I use it with one argument, it works nicely... but when I give
two arguments it still uses the "optional" argument. What's going on,
i.e. what am I missing here?

Isn't the rule to give the optional argument in square brackets. i.e.
\example[optional]{mandatory}
?

If you want to use the optional argument, you should write
\example[opt. arg]{mand. arg}
and not
\example{mand. arg}{opt. arg}

Apt-get synaptic. This is a convenient frontend to apt-get. Start synaptic, search for lyx, and look which packages it suggest. Probably aspell and some fonts that you currently do not have installed. Succes, Martijn P.S. Woody is rock stable, but its software is relatively old because it has been tested very long. Unless you do very critical work it is better to upgrade to Debian Sarge (testing) or even Unstable (Sid). Even Unstabel is stable, I run it for two weeks now and did not encounter any problem.

template usage?
I am looking to get a template or two running in lyx 1.2.1. I have a very general question of how these things work in lyx (i.e. do you just copy the text file into some directory somewhere such in .lyx directory). Second, I see that the textcomp.lyx file is for 1.1.6. Are there any specific issues I will face getting it working in 1.2.1? Thanks, Kirk
article class
Hello, I need to write a short paper and want to use the article class. The title should apear just below the heading and before the table of contents. But when I mark the title it and generate a preview the title and headings are put on an extra title page. How can I avoid that? I used the AMS class, which works well but has too large margins on the page sides. How can I also minimize the space between contents and text? It's just a small article so I don't wanna waste paper? Thanks.

How can I avoid that? Are you sure that you have really a standard article class? The described behavior is the default for other classes (report) or achieved with some additional settings.
