listings format

[funny guy]

Dear all,

I am trying to use the package listings.sty in LyX. 

1. In the example document listings.dvi, the format of
a floating listing is very nice (page 6 in
listings-1.3.pdf). It has two lines that encapsulates
the codes that are inserted. However, I cannot get
these two lines. Can anyone tell me how to do that in
LyX ?


2. Moreover, how to put another line above the
caption?
like this:


  Listing 1: My codes

line 1 of codes
line 2 of codes
...


3. How to change the fonts of the inserted codes?

Thanks for your help in advance! ^_^

Re: Curriculum Vitae document template missing

[Fabian Scheler]

Hi Walter,

the document templates available in Lyx depend on your underlying
LaTeX-System. Make sure that the appropriate document class is
installed in your LaTeX-System, then use 'Edit-Reconfigure' (in Lyx)
to tell Lyx about this document class.

Ciao, Fabian

 No matter. I think I figured out a way. You have to use a split
 environment inside the eqnarray. Unf LyX doesn't seem to provide a split

It does, but it is an undocumented feature for selected people only :-) Type
\splitspace in a math box, and you'll get a split environment with one
column and one row. You can add columns and rows as usual with M-m c i and
M-m w i.

All that is right *except*: cv.cls belongs not in your .lyx folder but 
in your TeX tree. The most obvious place to put it is in 
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/. Once it's there, you'll need to run sudo 
texhash from the command line as an administrator, giving it your 
password when asked. Then do Edit  Reconfigure in LyX, restart LyX, 
and everything should be fine.

I already did. But here it is again - insert a display or eqnarray or an

you want a split, increase the environment depth (C-Right), insert a
multline. Use the M-m w i command to add extra rows to it. It all looks OK

Right, just like I said! Insert a Tex command.

Unf. split is not quite what I want either b/c it justifies each row. What I
want is a multiline, which nicely left justifies the first row, centers the
middle one, and right justifies the last, but if your information is
correct, it isn't possible to insert a multiline inside another formula. So
I'm still not particularly happy  :-(

Re: problem with multline nested inside a eqnarray

Sure. My point was that its not immediately obvious that its nonsensical to

Well, live and learn I guess.

Beamer Themes

Adjusting the settings there restored my Meta Key funtionality

Beamer Questions

[Rich Shepard]

  Toward the beginning of my presentation I made a frame with three items and
pauses between them. The LyX view shows a red bracket along the left margin
and the code reads:

\layout Itemize
How decisions are made.
\begin_deeper 
\layout Pause
\end_deeper 
\layout Itemize

  ...

  I cannot find a begin_deeper and end_deeper on the drop-box menu. I've
no idea how I put them in there in the first place.

  But, if I make a frame with only two items and a pause, the pdf display has
the first item at the top of the slide and the second item at the bottom of
the slide -- pause or no pause.

  If there is a description in the manual about this I missed it. How, within
LyX, can I put in the deeper container, which seems to keep the text in the
middle of the slide?

Thanks,

Rich

Re: No Meta key, LyX 1.3.5/Qt 3.3.4: Solved

It turns out the answer is Yes, KDE 3.4.0 has a Keyboard Layout
setting in its Control Center-Regional  Accessibility section,
in a tab Xkb options.  My old KDE 2.2.1 either didn't have this
or defaulted to the right thing.

Adjusting the settings there restored my Meta Key funtionality
on the Alt key.  Now if I can figure out how to activate a Compose

doesn't know about my Happy Hacking PC/XFree keyboard, (while 
xkeycaps does, and xkeycaps is vintage 1999) so activating the
real keys in KDE's tool is total trial and error.

Beamer Questions

[Rich Shepard]

  Toward the beginning of my presentation I made a frame with three items and
pauses between them. The LyX view shows a red bracket along the left margin
and the code reads:

\layout Itemize
How decisions are made.
\begin_deeper 
\layout Pause
\end_deeper 
\layout Itemize

  ...

  I cannot find a begin_deeper and end_deeper on the drop-box menu. I've
no idea how I put them in there in the first place.

  But, if I make a frame with only two items and a pause, the pdf display has
the first item at the top of the slide and the second item at the bottom of
the slide -- pause or no pause.

  If there is a description in the manual about this I missed it. How, within
LyX, can I put in the deeper container, which seems to keep the text in the
middle of the slide?

Thanks,

Rich

listings format

[funny guy]

Dear all,

I am trying to use the package listings.sty in LyX. 

1. In the example document listings.dvi, the format of
a floating listing is very nice (page 6 in
listings-1.3.pdf). It has two lines that encapsulates
the codes that are inserted. However, I cannot get
these two lines. Can anyone tell me how to do that in
LyX ?


2. Moreover, how to put another line above the
caption?
like this:


  Listing 1: My codes

line 1 of codes
line 2 of codes
...


3. How to change the fonts of the inserted codes?

Thanks for your help in advance! ^_^

Re: Curriculum Vitae document template missing

Hi Walter,

the document templates available in Lyx depend on your underlying
LaTeX-System. Make sure that the appropriate document class is
installed in your LaTeX-System, then use 'Edit->Reconfigure' (in Lyx)
to tell Lyx about this document class.

LaTeX does not choke on text boxes in general. What I said is that it makes
a difference whether you put something into a text box or not, because
basically only text is allowed in text boxes.
Rext boxes do more than just "change font".

Then please tell exactly what you did and what you got. If there is a bug in
LyX it should be fixed, but it can't be fixed if nobody knows about it.

It does, but it is an undocumented feature for selected people only :-) Type
\split in a math box, and you'll get a split environment with one
column and one row. You can add columns and rows as usual with M-m c i and
M-m w i.

Can anybody suggest an equivalent solution for bititems?  I need to reduce
the space between bibitems as above for items but changing itemize to
bibitem doesn't work (a very large number of errors).

Any pointers gratefully accepted!  Even suggestions on changes to BST files
if need be (an arcane art if ever there was one... :-).

All that is right *except*: cv.cls belongs not in your .lyx folder but 
in your TeX tree. The most obvious place to put it is in 
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/. Once it's there, you'll need to run "sudo 
texhash" from the command line as an administrator, giving it your 
password when asked. Then do Edit > Reconfigure in LyX, restart LyX, 
and everything should be fine.

If you mean the layout (Standard, Section, ...), then there is the
"layout" lfun that takes an argument.

And what I said is that I did not ask for a text box. I don't really care if
Lyx chooses to insert one if thats what it thinks it takes to get the job
done so long as it doesn't choke and die over it. Its just a basic principle
of good UI deisgn. I have no control over what goes into something that I
didn't ask for.

I'm not sure if there's much more I can do short of telling you what I did
and sending you my lyx file which i already did.

I already did. But here it is again - insert a display or eqnarray or an
align or any enclosing math formula. Add an extra row. In the element where
you want a split, increase the environment depth (C-Right), insert a
multline. Use the M-m w i command to add extra rows to it. It all looks OK
on the screen but when you try tdo dvi it, you get the error I mentioned.

Right, just like I said! Insert a Tex command.

Unf. split is not quite what I want either b/c it justifies each row. What I
want is a multiline, which nicely left justifies the first row, centers the
middle one, and right justifies the last, but if your information is
correct, it isn't possible to insert a multiline inside another formula. So
I'm still not particularly happy  :-(

Re: problem with multline nested inside a eqnarray

[Srinivas Nedunuri]

Sure. My point was that its not immediately obvious that its nonsensical to
mix Latex and AMS macros (they are all after both just TeX macros). I saw no
dire warnings about this in any of the AMS documents, or even in yours.
Well, live and learn I guess.

Incrementing the environment depth in a math formula does nothing here.
Therefore I did not believe what you told. Neither does C-Right increment
the environment depth. Maybe you have selfmade bindings.

Meanwhile I found the error: It is a known bug (has nothing to do with
environment depths) and will be fixed in LyX 1.4, see

Beamer Themes

[Rich Shepard]

  In the beamer class docs there is mention of a number of themes (each the
name of a city where the author presented a talk), but no examples of each
one or a list of what's available. Same situation with theme colors: no
listing of what's available.

  Has anyone put together such lists? Or, are they available on the web
somewhere?

TIA,

Rich
