 If you wish to continue with this include solution, then you need to
 add
 \usepackage{graphicx}
 to the document preamble. The include inset has no knowledge about

Besides the graphicx-package mentioned above, I also had to include

Two-sided document

[Markus Amersdorfer]

Hi everyone!

If I set my LyX-document to be a two-sided one, it does change the
layout accordingly, but it seems to leave bigger margins to the outer
part of the page and smaller margins to the inner part.
Shouldn't it be just the other way round? If I have my document printed
out and be bound as a book, shouldn't there be more space in the
middle of a double-page due to the binding process consuming some
space?

If I used the default two-sided document in order to put the bigger
margins to the inner part of the book, this not only meant to falsely
have odd pages on the left and even pages on right hand side but also
would lead to marginal notes being placed in the inner part too (and
thus possibly be hard to read).

Comments would be very much appreciated!

Thanks 'n' cheers,
Max

If you play with the settings of the text dialog in xfig you can use

No. If you bind a two sided document, the two inner margins (left and right 
page) should have the same width than both outer margins.
For the binding process, you have to additionally add a binding correction 
value, which is added to the inner margin. KOMA script has the document 
option BCOR=value for this.

In general, you should read chapter 2 of the KOMA script documentation (on 
page layout and margins):
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguide.pdf

  It does intuitively seem like the inner margins should be larger so the
text is centered on the visible page after binding. However, some books have
larger margins on the page edge. Perhaps for motes? I've seen both in the

include openoffice import and export filters

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

May be this suggestion has already be made:
there exists now an openoffice to latex export and import filter,
including mathematical formula.

1. Oolatex is a script shipped with tex4ht, which converts latex to
   sxw files.
2. Writer2latex is java export filter which converts sxw files to
   latex.

I think the first converter could be easily accessed from lyx.

The  second one  requires java,  and  can be   also executed  from the
command line. The latex file produced will need a special writer.sty.

Try to implement it in reLyX. Then you'll see why it is not there already...
I once tried to improve reLyX, but have given up because it was too
difficult.
As I wrote, tex2lyx is a working alternative. This is the contents of a
wrapper script to produce lyx files for lyx 1.3:

#! /bin/sh
SUFFIX=-1.4
INSTDIR=/path/to/lyx1.4cvs
tex2lyx${SUFFIX} $@ | ${INSTDIR}/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -t 221

makeindex is an external program which changes index layouts

Check on your system or CTAN for .ist files, say foo.ist, then change the
default call to makeindex to
makeindex -s foo.ist name of file
I'm not sure that this can be changes from inside LyX.

 No. If you bind a two sided document, the two inner margins (left and

Hmmm, sounds both strange and obvious at the same time. :)

best way for legends between figures and tables

Dear Lyx users,
I am at present working with Lyx on a thesis and am looking for the best way

Could you please give me some advice on the best way to do that, and how,
for a table for example, to insert a legend.

I assume that you want to insert captions for tables and figures. In 
this case look at the Userguide (chapter 4.3.1 for floats and chapter 
3.3.9.1 for the caption environment).

 Could we have an import option to convert % soemthing\n either to a note

Try to implement it in reLyX. Then you'll see why it is not there already...
I once tried to improve reLyX, but have given up because it was too
difficult.
As I wrote, tex2lyx is a working alternative. This is the contents of a
wrapper script to produce lyx files for lyx 1.3:

#! /bin/sh
SUFFIX=-1.4
INSTDIR=/path/to/lyx1.4cvs
tex2lyx${SUFFIX} $@ | ${INSTDIR}/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -t 221


where the real tex2lyx is named tex2lyx-1.4.

makeindex is an external program which changes index layouts
as described in a layout file (extension ist).

Check on your system or CTAN for .ist files, say foo.ist, then change the
default call to makeindex to
makeindex -s foo.ist name of file
I'm not sure that this can be changes from inside LyX.

 No. If you bind a two sided document, the two inner margins (left and
 right page) should have the same width than both outer margins.

Hmmm, sounds both strange and obvious at the same time. :)

best way for legends between figures and tables

Dear Lyx users,
I am at present working with Lyx on a thesis and am looking for the best way
to get homogenous legends between all figures and tables of the document.
Could you please give me some advice on the best way to do that, and how,
for a table for example, to insert a legend.

I assume that you want to insert captions for tables and figures. In 
this case look at the Userguide (chapter 4.3.1 for floats and chapter 
3.3.9.1 for the caption environment).

Two-sided document

[Markus Amersdorfer]

Hi everyone!

If I set my LyX-document to be a two-sided one, it does change the
layout accordingly, but it seems to leave bigger margins to the "outer"
part of the page and smaller margins to the "inner" part.
Shouldn't it be just the other way round? If I have my document printed
out and be bound as a book, shouldn't there be more space "in the
middle" of a double-page due to the binding process consuming some
space?

If I used the default two-sided document in order to put the bigger
margins to the inner part of the book, this not only meant to falsely
have odd pages on the left and even pages on right hand side but also
would lead to marginal notes being placed in the inner part too (and
thus possibly be hard to read).

Comments would be very much appreciated!

Thanks 'n' cheers,
Max

If you play with the settings of the text dialog in xfig you can use 
the default font of your document. That get's around this particular 
requirement if you're using black text.

I can't remember the details, but the 3rd column of the pstex_t file 
entry for a text entry should be '-1'.

No. If you bind a two sided document, the two inner margins (left and right 
page) should have the same width than both outer margins.
For the binding process, you have to additionally add a "binding correction" 
value, which is added to the inner margin. KOMA script has the document 
option "BCOR=" for this.

In general, you should read chapter 2 of the KOMA script documentation (on 
page layout and margins):
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguide.pdf

Sorry, that's the '.fig' file, of course. Note the '-1' in 
the third column here:

4 2 -1 0 -1 0 10.000  0.000 3 125.000 2700.000 6387 1580

full cite in text

[Leuven, E.]

dear all,

i want to make a reading list for a syllabus. 

is there a way to insert the full citation in the text instead of having the 
bibliography at the end, while using my bibtex database (and avoid the typing)?

i want to have something like

topic 1

- Jones B, and A. Smith. (2004). "Title". Publisher.
- Smith, A. and B. Jones. (2003). "Title" Journal, p 1-14. 

topic 2

- DuPont, J. (1999). "Title" Journal, p 32-43.

etc.

i hope someone has been here before...

thanks, edwin

Max,

  It does intuitively seem like the inner margins should be larger so the
text is centered on the visible page after binding. However, some books have
larger margins on the page edge. Perhaps for motes? I've seen both in the
technical books I have. I suspect it's a page layout decision without a
single answer.

I don't understand german (if that's what you're speaking) but from the
errors it looks like environment variable CC is defined but empty. Try
giving first commands
CC="gcc"
CXX="g++"
export CC CXX
and then running configure again (better to remove first config.cache).

include openoffice import and export filters

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

May be this suggestion has already be made:
there exists now an openoffice to latex export and import filter,
including mathematical formula.

1. Oolatex is a script shipped with tex4ht, which converts latex to
   sxw files.
2. Writer2latex is java export filter which converts sxw files to
   latex.

I think the first converter could be easily accessed from lyx.

The  second one  requires java,  and  can be   also executed  from the
command line. The latex file produced will need a special writer.sty.

There is the possibility to (mis) use ERT-Boxes. Put your note there and
start it with a "%". 

Export to LaTeX is fine, but reLyX will silently eat away all "%"-comments.

Could we have an import option to convert "% soemthing\n" either to a note or
to an ERT-Box?
