Mandrake has specific rpm's for lyx 1.3.2, both mdk9.0 and 9.1 Use rpmdrake and specify an mdk-devel/cooker source for rpms.

Newbie Questions
Hi, Yesterday i started my first paper in lyx, my supervisor was taken aback when i showed him the printout, 'it was exactly like a journal' is what he said. So i am sticking with lyx for long time now :) I have some newbie questions here,It would be great if you can give me hints on these: 1. Using the article layout always add the date to the rendered text. Is it possible to turn off the date. I am writing a paper for a journal, is article the best layout for me or are there any other layouts available? 2. For a particular layout, how do i change the default font settings for paragraph, section, subsection etc. I have tried exploring the LayoutDocument,Character but these donot change setting globally for a particular environmental depth. 3. How do i change the type of numbering of section. For section the numbering is like this '1' but i want a '.' to like this '1.' Is this possible? Moreover i want my sections to start from number 3, how can i do it? 4. How do i change the format of my bibliography, can i add my own bst files? Is there any repository of bst files for different journals? phew! those are the ones i can think off now. Thanks a lot.

How do i change the type of numbering of section. For section the numbering is like this '1' but i want a '.' to like this '1.' Is this possible? Moreover i want my sections to start from number 3, how can i do it? Unfortunately, these things seem to be hard coded into Lyx. Apparently it's too hard to change this, so it looks like this will be a limitation in LyX for some time now ;( . However, there is a workaround, if you really care. I've found the best way is to export it to latex format, and then open it with another app, such as TexMacs. (actually, i created my own python script to make the changes i need to the document I'm working on). Once you've made the changes you can use any one of the plethora od latex conversion tools to convert your finished document to any format you want, such as HTML, PDF, or whatever.

Good.
So i am sticking with lyx for long time now :)
I have some newbie questions here,It would be great if you can give me hints
on these:
1. Using the article layout always add the date to the rendered text. Is it
possible to turn off the date.
You can make an empty paragraph with Layout 'Date' near the top of your doc
and put a 'protected blank' (Ctrl-Space) there to make sure the 'empty'
paragraph is not automatically removed.
I am writing a paper for a journal, is article
the best layout for me or are there any other layouts available?
Usually the journals have some LaTeX class of their own, and in rare cases
there is even a suitable LyX .layout. I guess you have to give more details
here...
2. For a particular layout, how do i change the default font settings for
paragraph, section, subsection etc. I have tried exploring the
LayoutDocument,Character but these donot change setting globally for a
particular environmental depth.
Usually in the style/class file. It is, however, not encouraged. You should
rather pick a class with suitable defaults.
3. How do i change the type of numbering of section. For section the
numbering is like this '1' but i want a '.' to like this '1.' Is this
possible?
The 'KoMa' classes to that by default.
Moreover i want my sections to start from number 3, how can i do it?
By using plain LaTeX: \setcounter{section}{2} immediately before your first
section heading.
4. How do i change the format of my bibliography, can i add my own bst files?
I thought the Insert-ListTOC-Bibtex dialog took care of that.
Is there any repository of bst files for different journals?
Don't know.

This is easy with komascript classes: class options smallheadings,
normalheadings bigheadings or in preamble
With standard classes, you'll have to redefine the environments or (better)
have a look at the titlesec package available on CTAN (www.ctan.org).
3. How do i change the type of numbering of section. For section the
numbering is like this '1' but i want a '.' to like this '1.' Is this
possible? Moreover i want my sections to start from number 3, how can i do
it?
1. In komascript: class options pointednumbers. In normal classes you have to
redefine the counters in the preamble:
\renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}.}
etc.
2. setcounter{section}{2}
in preamble
4. How do i change the format of my bibliography, can i add my own bst
files? Is there any repository of bst files for different journals?
You can add you bst files. If you place them into a directory where tex can
find them (texmf-tree) and run texhash, LyX should get aware of it.

FEATURE REQUEST - Re: Newbie Questions
Apparently it's too hard to change this, so it looks like this will be a limitation in LyX for some time now ;( . ... however, you won't find a fancy pointclick interface in LyX for that. Could you just add a button: [LATEX] or [PREAMBLE] for these things? It is completely fine from a Users point of view when many things are not pointclick --- but it would make things much easier if I do no have to leave LyX and go to an editor for that! LyX developers: you are doing a great job, and you are clearly right lyx can and should not have all features of Latex integrated in the gui; that would just make it impractical (good example: word does that - thats why hardly anybody knows more than the basic features of word). BUT: all features of latex that are not accessible through the gui should be shown as small buttons [LATEX]. Thank you guys so much for giving us LyX :):) :):) :):) :):) :):) :):) :):) :):) :):) -Jan

Some More Newbie Questions
Thank you all for your help. I am slowly and steadily progressing on my lyx experience. I couldnt do the following things: 1. I exported my lyx file (which had a table using the multirow package) to a latex file and tried importing it back. The resulting file had a totally misfigured table. Is lyx not capable of doing this kind of stuff? 2. I want to copy this table to another lyx file without having to create it again. I tried to copy/paste among these lyx documents but only the text gets copied not the table. How can i copy the table? Alright, here is a stupid idea, is it possible to see the tex/lyx code which lyx is writing when i am typing something in lyx. Something like an html editor which shows you the html source and the rendered page. If this could be possible i could just copy the underlying tex code into my new document. Thanks to this wonderful community.

llncs and references problem (1.1.6fix4)
I'm trying to use the llncs style. But if I use the Bibliography style, I
get three LaTeX errors for each reference:
LaTeX error: something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
I exported to TeX and renamed the \lyxbibliography in the \begin{} and
\end{} to \thebibliography. Now it works. But I can't do this in LyX
(AFAIK), so I tried to fix in the LyX by adding red TeX command:
\renewcommand{\lyxbibliography}{\thebibliography}
just before the bibliography. Now it doesn't give errors, but the last
reference is unintended by a large amount, which is astounding. Example:
http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~tuukkat/tmp/test.ps
Any idea how to make it properly in LyX? I'm using oldish version 1.1.6fix4
because I haven't found newer version as Debian 3.0 package and it's fine
anyway.
Re: Some More Newbie Questions
Thanks i was able to copy the table by opening the files in the same session. I was inserting some images in my file and was stuck with the numbering. I tried two ways: 1. Using a float figure works fine and i can assign and refer captions. 2. I inserted a normal graphics without the float feature. Now i want to assign a caption and refer it in my text. If change my caption from standard to 'environment caption' then lyx gives an error that caption is out of float. Is there a way to assign numbers to captions and then refer these in the text?. I know how to do this sort of thing for equations because we have an explicit command in the 'Edit' menu for 'toggling numering of line' but is there any for figure captions? Thanks again.

No, the problem is worse than that. Quoting
http://leb.net/arabtex/files/writing.htm
A control sequence inside an Arabic context must be separated from
the preceding text item by at least one blank space, newline, or
another control sequence, and may be of the following kinds:
This means that the following code is not OK:
\begin{arabtex}abcd\foo{bar}\end{arabtex}
So shall we add a space before each and every \foo{bar} construct just
in case arabtex is active??
I agree though that constructs like
\begin{center}hello\end{center}
would be much better with a couple line breaks. But I do not think we
want to do that everywhere...
Is arabtex the official/best arabic environment? It looks like a hack
to me, in a case where TeX--XeT is not available.

compilation problems lyx-1.3.2 and xforms-CVS

dcolumn and math workaround
Problem: When using the dcolumn package to decimal align a column in tabular, if you try to put an equation in the first row of that column as a header, LyX generates an error. I searched the archives and Herbert's page for this issue but could not find a solution. After much trial and error, here is the solution I found: dcolumn automatically puts everything in math mode, so by putting in a LyX equation it generates another begin math command or $ which causes the error. Workaround 1: Use ERT to enter your equation but leave off the $, e.g. ERT:x_5, instead of $x_5$. Workaround 2: Use multicolumn in Layout...Tabular. Just select the single cell. Then you can enter a LyX equation with Ctrl-M. The second option produces better results since it will center the equation in the cell. The first option will try to align with a decimal in the equation..if you don't have one it will align the end of the equation with the decimal. Steve Buonopane

Re: Can this equation be done?
Johnathan Burchill wrote:
Put a \vspace{0.25cm} (or whatever spacing you're happy with) at the end of
each of the first three lines in the array.
I've attached a LyX file with your equations typeset in various ways,
including the \cases AMS math environment suggested by Dekel Tsur.
Hope this helps,
Johnathan
Thank you for your reply!
What I see is that the \vspace fixes the problem quite well.
The \cases environment seems to affect only the justification of the
right cells of the equations, making them all left justified, ie. the
same spacing after the equals signs, whereas the array env. center
justifies the rightmost cells. So the \cases rendering has small
fractions, but they are spaced a little bit better than with the array
env. even when they are left small without using \displaysize.
Using \displaystyle in the \cases environment still results in the
fractional expressions being too close vertically.
So it looks like \vspace is the winner.
Is there somewhere in the LyX documentation where \vspace is mentioned?
I didn't notice it in any of the User's Guide sections on math editing.
Thanks again for your suggestions, since I have the answer I need!
Good day!

Article is fine, plus some journals (Kluwer, Springer, ...) have their

article (koma-script), which is more flexible than standard article.

No, they don't. What exactly would you like to do?
3. How do i change the type of numbering of section. For section the

Sure, in BibTeX dialog (Insert/TOC/BibTeX) the bottom field (Style) is
for name of the bst file. Also if using any of natbib styles, do not
forget to check Natbib in Layout/Document/Bibliography.
Is there any repository of bst files for different journals?
There is (try directory.google.com for BibTeX), but better is to try
homepage of your journal (many of them have a special page for LaTeX

KOMA Script is one of the most flexible class bundle. Have a look at the ~300

And what is natbib, is it some special style of bibtex?
It is an extension for bibtex that lets you cite in Author (year) style. You

LyX with the MacOSX/GPL QT libraries
Following some helpful suggestions from Juergen Spitzmueller and
Alfredo Braunstein, and some hacking in the LyX source, I was able to
compile Lyx-1.3.2 with the newly-released Trolltech GPL MacOSX QT
libraries. Both were compiled with gcc-2.95.2 (gcc-3.1 in the Apple
implementation cannot compile LyX-1.3.x). These libraries feature a
direct Aqua interface and do not require X11.
The bottom line is that it compiles, and a LyX/QT window quickly pops
up on the screen, but the LyX window does not seize focus, and is
hence useless. I suspect this will take a good deal of debugging in
the QT code, and that it may not even work with gcc-2.95.2. If
someone wants to mess more with this combination, I've enclosed the
patch (apply in .../lyx-1.3.2/src) needed to get it to compile with
the Trolltech libraries. (I, alas, have work to do, and the X11/QT
version on MacOSX will get it done just fine!)
Regards, and thanks for the quick help from Juergen and Alfredo,

Newbie Questions
Hi, Yesterday i started my first paper in lyx, my supervisor was taken aback when i showed him the printout, 'it was exactly like a journal' is what he said. So i am sticking with lyx for long time now :) I have some newbie questions here,It would be great if you can give me hints on these: 1. Using the article layout always add the date to the rendered text. Is it possible to turn off the date. I am writing a paper for a journal, is article the best layout for me or are there any other layouts available? 2. For a particular layout, how do i change the default font settings for paragraph, section, subsection etc. I have tried exploring the LayoutDocument,Character but these donot change setting globally for a particular environmental depth. 3. How do i change the type of numbering of section. For section the numbering is like this '1' but i want a '.' to like this '1.' Is this possible? Moreover i want my sections to start from number 3, how can i do it? 4. How do i change the format of my bibliography, can i add my own bst files? Is there any repository of bst files for different journals? phew! those are the ones i can think off now. Thanks a lot.

Good.
So i am sticking with lyx for long time now :)
I have some newbie questions here,It would be great if you can give me hints
on these:
1. Using the article layout always add the date to the rendered text. Is it
possible to turn off the date.
You can make an empty paragraph with Layout 'Date' near the top of your doc
and put a 'protected blank' (Ctrl-Space) there to make sure the 'empty'
paragraph is not automatically removed.
I am writing a paper for a journal, is article
the best layout for me or are there any other layouts available?
Usually the journals have some LaTeX class of their own, and in rare cases
there is even a suitable LyX .layout. I guess you have to give more details
here...
2. For a particular layout, how do i change the default font settings for
paragraph, section, subsection etc. I have tried exploring the
LayoutDocument,Character but these donot change setting globally for a
particular environmental depth.
Usually in the style/class file. It is, however, not encouraged. You should
rather pick a class with suitable defaults.
3. How do i change the type of numbering of section. For section the
numbering is like this '1' but i want a '.' to like this '1.' Is this
possible?
The 'KoMa' classes to that by default.
Moreover i want my sections to start from number 3, how can i do it?
By using plain LaTeX: \setcounter{section}{2} immediately before your first
section heading.
4. How do i change the format of my bibliography, can i add my own bst files?
I thought the Insert-ListTOC-Bibtex dialog took care of that.
Is there any repository of bst files for different journals?
Don't know.

This is easy with komascript classes: class options smallheadings,
normalheadings bigheadings or in preamble
With standard classes, you'll have to redefine the environments or (better)
have a look at the titlesec package available on CTAN (www.ctan.org).
3. How do i change the type of numbering of section. For section the
numbering is like this '1' but i want a '.' to like this '1.' Is this
possible? Moreover i want my sections to start from number 3, how can i do
it?
1. In komascript: class options pointednumbers. In normal classes you have to
redefine the counters in the preamble:
\renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}.}
etc.
2. setcounter{section}{2}
in preamble
4. How do i change the format of my bibliography, can i add my own bst
files? Is there any repository of bst files for different journals?
You can add you bst files. If you place them into a directory where tex can
find them (texmf-tree) and run texhash, LyX should get aware of it.
(Insert-List...-BibTeX Inset).

LyX developers: you are doing a great job, and you are clearly right lyx can and should not have all features of Latex integrated in the gui; that would just make it impractical (good example: word does that - thats why hardly anybody knows more than the basic features of word).

Apparently it's too hard to change this, so it looks like this will be a limitation in LyX for some time now ;( . ... however, you won't find a fancy pointclick interface in LyX for that. Could you just add a button: [LATEX] or [PREAMBLE] for these things? What's wrong with the current TeX button? There was just one user saying: how can I take out the \date line out of the article? In Latex that would be no problem and that was the answer. But LyX should be more than a front-end where you have to dig deeper with an external editor: every option of the article class should be reachable with some button!!! That was all I was saying - and \date is not reachable! -Jan

Some More Newbie Questions
Thank you all for your help. I am slowly and steadily progressing on my lyx experience. I couldnt do the following things: 1. I exported my lyx file (which had a table using the multirow package) to a latex file and tried importing it back. The resulting file had a totally misfigured table. Is lyx not capable of doing this kind of stuff? 2. I want to copy this table to another lyx file without having to create it again. I tried to copy/paste among these lyx documents but only the text gets copied not the table. How can i copy the table? Alright, here is a stupid idea, is it possible to see the tex/lyx code which lyx is writing when i am typing something in lyx. Something like an html editor which shows you the html source and the rendered page. If this could be possible i could just copy the underlying tex code into my new document. Thanks to this wonderful community.

llncs and references problem (1.1.6fix4)
I'm trying to use the llncs style. But if I use the Bibliography style, I
get three LaTeX errors for each reference:
LaTeX error: something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
I exported to TeX and renamed the \lyxbibliography in the \begin{} and
\end{} to \thebibliography. Now it works. But I can't do this in LyX
(AFAIK), so I tried to fix in the LyX by adding red TeX command:
\renewcommand{\lyxbibliography}{\thebibliography}
just before the bibliography. Now it doesn't give errors, but the last
reference is unintended by a large amount, which is astounding. Example:
http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~tuukkat/tmp/test.ps
Any idea how to make it properly in LyX? I'm using oldish version 1.1.6fix4
because I haven't found newer version as Debian 3.0 package and it's fine
anyway.
Re: Some More Newbie Questions
Thanks i was able to copy the table by opening the files in the same session. I was inserting some images in my file and was stuck with the numbering. I tried two ways: 1. Using a float figure works fine and i can assign and refer captions. 2. I inserted a normal graphics without the float feature. Now i want to assign a caption and refer it in my text. If change my caption from standard to 'environment caption' then lyx gives an error that caption is out of float. Is there a way to assign numbers to captions and then refer these in the text?. I know how to do this sort of thing for equations because we have an explicit command in the 'Edit' menu for 'toggling numering of line' but is there any for figure captions? Thanks again.

No, the problem is worse than that. Quoting
http://leb.net/arabtex/files/writing.htm
A control sequence inside an Arabic context must be separated from
the preceding text item by at least one blank space, newline, or
another control sequence, and may be of the following kinds:
This means that the following code is not OK:
\begin{arabtex}abcd\foo{bar}\end{arabtex}
So shall we add a space before each and every \foo{bar} construct just
in case arabtex is active??
I agree though that constructs like
\begin{center}hello\end{center}
would be much better with a couple line breaks. But I do not think we
want to do that everywhere...
Is arabtex the official/best arabic environment? It looks like a hack
to me, in a case where TeX--XeT is not available.

dcolumn and math workaround
Problem: When using the dcolumn package to decimal align a column in tabular, if you try to put an equation in the first row of that column as a header, LyX generates an error. I searched the archives and Herbert's page for this issue but could not find a solution. After much trial and error, here is the solution I found: dcolumn automatically puts everything in math mode, so by putting in a LyX equation it generates another begin math command or $ which causes the error. Workaround 1: Use ERT to enter your equation but leave off the $, e.g. ERT:x_5, instead of $x_5$. Workaround 2: Use multicolumn in Layout...Tabular. Just select the single cell. Then you can enter a LyX equation with Ctrl-M. The second option produces better results since it will center the equation in the cell. The first option will try to align with a decimal in the equation..if you don't have one it will align the end of the equation with the decimal. Steve Buonopane
