This happens with OZ/gpe, since package management is not all that great, yet. It took me long enough to get LyX itself running. However, all I really needed was the file ~/.qt/qtrc (and maybe ~/.qt/.qtrc.lock -- which I threw in there just in case). I created them on the desktop and scp'd them to the Zaurus, et le voila!. Thanks for the hints. And to you and Jmarc, good to hear from you, too. Getting LyX to run justifies, for me, switching to OZ on the Zaurus. I can't live without it. -- David L.

How to avoid "\url already defined"?
Dear list, I have been annoyed by two problems recently, both related to lyx-added latex code conflicting with customized document classes. For example, I am using manual.cls from python to produce a manual. However, manual.cls defines \url so it will conflict with the \newcommand\url command added by lyx. Another case is when a customized latex class (for a journal) loads natbib first but with different parameter to what lyx-loaded natbib uses. If I do not select natbib in lyx, I can not use natbib citations although the document class supports it. (I know I can use ERT, but...) Is there anyway to resolve these problems? Anything I can add to the preamble? Or a way to let latex ignore these errors? I am using 1.3.6 but I am ready for 1.4.0cvs if 1.4.0 has a solution. Thanks. Bo
Re: non-LyX question: Beamer enumerate
Without knowing what Beamer theme you're using, it's hard to know what
the enumerations should look like. Can you post a LyX file containing a
minimal example?

There it is! The reason why I want this "configuration" is that the
three properties are proved on previous slides one by one (each proof
being slightly different). However, it is useful to interpret Prop. 2
and Prop 3. together :)
Thank you very much for any hint!

AFAIK, there is a \chapter*{} command in LaTeX which typesets the title without
the \chaptername or number. This command should be available in the styles
menus of LyX; it's called `chapter*'. That's the quick-and-dirty solution.
Indeed, memoir (the package I know) allows you to customize pretty much
everything, and it seems like a good tutorial in book design. I don't know how
deep you want to dig into that to typeset your book. If you don't feel you want
too much, try simply using \chapter*{}.
You may have to add some ERT manually to add the chaptername in the
Table-of-Contents. Read the help file for LaTeX to see how to do that.
Good luck,
Luis.

How recent is your copy of the cvs sources?

\line and line breaking
Hi, all. Back on the list after a long break.
I want to create a fill-in-the-blank handout. I'm using \line(1,0){100}
in ERT to make my blanks. The problem is that \line really messes up
line breaking, so that I have lines running off the page. If I change
from justified to left for my paragraph styles then the problem is
fixed, except that lines are unacceptably ragged. I'd be willing to
settle for a middle-of-the road solution, but I would prefer to justify
my paragraphs. Is there a smarter way to do my blanks that will work
with the kerning, etc., to keep lines nice?
This is a moderately urgent request, as the handout is for tomorrow,
though I could make due for the time being.

Hello dear LyXers, I'm sorry to bring up this question here, but I didn't get any response on the Beamer support site... I figured somebody here might have had this problem before me. In a theorem a I have an enumeration of three properties: \item Prop. 1 \item Prop. 2 \item Prop. 3 Later on the slide, I'd like to provide an intuitive meaning for the properties. So I created another enumeration. However, I'd like to describe Prop 2 and Prop 3 in one step. So, I'd like to customize the second listing as \item Explanation of Prop 1. \item[2., 3.] Explanation of Prop 2. and Prop .3 This works, however it disturbs the graphical represetation of the enumeration: the second item does not have a background... Of course, I'd like to render the number 2. and 3. in squares so that they are consistent with the rest of the presentation. I wasn't able to figure this out... Thank you for your help, David
Elementary BibTeX/Lyx introduction available
When I started using LyX, I had never heard of BiBTeX and was distressed that most documentation about bibliographies in LyX assumed I knew about LaTeX and BibTeX. After a while, I found a workable way and wrote up an introductory explanation for newcomers. I hope users will find this helpful and I'd be delighted if any/all of the content could be added to the LyX documentation or linked on your website: http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/latex/biblioexample.pdf That is simple and graphically illustrated. A less well illustrated (more fumbling and bumbling) document was circulated a while ago, and I don't really recommend it to new users. The only unique component is that it explains one route by which to create customized natbib style files for particular journals. http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/latex/LaTeX_Bibliographies.html -- Paul E.

The problem is more how do you want the references to look like in the final document. For Social and Human Sciences, you have globally two systems natbib for a reference system as (Elo:2004b) or jurabib for references as K.

BibTeX and newspaper articles
Hi, I have a small problem with BiBTex and hope someone could help me. I am currently writing an acadeemic working paper and some of my material are articles from ordinary newspapers. I use KBibTeX for managing my bibliography. AFAIK, BibTeX seeems not to support newspaper articles as an entry type. This kind of a material does not very well fit into the existing standard entries either, e.g. there is no field the date of the article could be stoder in. Before I start manually adding a new entry (say "newspaper article") into my BiBTeX collection and modifing my .bst file to make it understand such an entry, I would be glad to be informed if there already exists a solution for this kind of a problem. I just cannot think being the only person using newspaper articles as research material :) Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Kimmo Elo University of Turku, Finland
