This works for me:
1. In the preamble: \usepackage{multicol}
2. Before your figures, in ERT: \begin{multicols}{2}
3. Then the figure float with the figure, followed by the table
float with the table. In both floats, check the Here definitely

4. After your floats: \end{multicols}
Now your two floats will be placed side by side because that section of the

It will not help. You found a bug in the new layout file converter. You need
to add the line

Horizontal Rule
I'm looking to place a horizontal rule in a document I'm currently working on. However, the standard horizontal rule is ugly (it just goes from one side of the page to the other). How can I tell LyX to put in a line that isn't as long (and what's a typographically good length to have it?)? Thanks in advance, Dan

Thanks in advance,

In ERT, centered in a paragraph: \rule[raise]{width}{thickness}
All three arguments are measurements. The mandatory arguments are the
horizontal width of the line and the thickness. The optional argument
is how much to raise it within its paragraph.
I don't know if there is a preferred width. I would say to use whatever
appeals to you visually.

Is this possible in lyx?
Dear List, I just figured out how to disallow LaTeX to linebreak a math inline formula that resides in the end of a line. Sometimes they turn so awkward when they are breaked in the end of the line. With LaTeX I just type a formula in an \mbox and it solves my problem.. but what about lyx? how can I perform an \mbox in Lyx? .. I can of course input a latex code within lyx.. but it would be great if I could do it in a lyx way too so that I could also have the benefit of actually seeing to formula.

Try writing your formula in LyX the normal way, then putting \mbox{ in

Fwd: Choice of fonts in LaTeX
(I assumed the Reply-to: would be the list) On 24/10/05, Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there any typographical reason why you might want slanted instead of italic or vice-versa? In the original edition describing TeX Knuth is very very strident about the need for slanted fonts, the wave of the future. To be honest, slanted appears to be a very good way to differentiate input/output in the typography of human-computer interaction. Reading early published versions of Knuth makes the typographic rationale behind slanted clear. Knuth also argues in METAFONT that slanted will make it easier for typeface designers to produce multiple faces from a single style. Slanted also just feels forcefully, brutally, ultramodern, like Bauhaus typefaces or London Underground. I expect to see early Soviet era designers appear from a montage, shouting in slanted slogans of better typography through science. If you want your readers to expect the avantegarde of suprematism and constructivism to burst out of your text, set in slanted. Slanted is not very good at replacing the humanities uses of italics (/Title/, /mild emphasis/, /foreign words in body text/, etc). In humanities texts slanted breaks rules regarding reader familiarity with typesetting styles, it also breaks the aesthetic beauty of well set type. So if we go to the heart of Knuth's initial research/engineering problem (beautiful typography), then the Slanted type he pushes so hard in the late 1970s, at least in humanities, works against him. Personally, I find that there's a great deal of beauty in well designed Italic faces. At the level of readability, I also find the difference in the format of characters (a, g, etc) provided by italic, acts as an extra cue for me that the text has a different meaning (other than just the slant). yours, Sam R. -- I will give you Tacos, such Tacos as you have never seen. -- I will give you Tacos, such Tacos as you have never seen.
Re: Fwd: Choice of fonts in LaTeX
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Sam Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: (I assumed the Reply-to: would be the list) Bad assumption. The list isn't broken. Knuth also argues in METAFONT that slanted will make it easier for typeface designers to produce multiple faces from a single style. So can they get a slanted face out of an MM font?

Then again, those kinds of big assertions often come with new products (I did it overnight, the permutations were easy and attractive). I've never touched metafont, other than enjoying the beauty of its results, computer modern. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has made beautiful families of fonts from metafont. yours, Sam R. [1] Knuth, Donald E. /TeX and METAFONT: new directions in typesetting/.

Horizontal Rule
I'm looking to place a horizontal rule in a document I'm currently working on. However, the standard horizontal rule is ugly (it just goes from one side of the page to the other). How can I tell LyX to put in a line that isn't as long (and what's a typographically good length to have it?)? Thanks in advance, Dan

In ERT, centered in a paragraph: \rule[raise]{width}{thickness}
All three arguments are measurements. The mandatory arguments are the
horizontal width of the line and the thickness. The optional argument
is how much to raise it within its paragraph.
I don't know if there is a preferred width. I would say to use whatever

Dear List, I just figured out how to disallow LaTeX to linebreak a math inline formula that resides in the end of a line. Sometimes they turn so awkward when they are breaked in the end of the line.

This works for me:
1. In the preamble: \usepackage{multicol}
2. Before your figures, in ERT: \begin{multicols}{2}
3. Then the figure float with the figure, followed by the table
float with the table. In both floats, check the "Here definitely"
placement options. They should otherwise be normal floats.
4. After your floats: \end{multicols}
Now your two floats will be placed side by side because that section of the

figure caption, as you really have two ordinary floats.
Example attached. I don't know what happens if the floats appear
near the bottom of a page, you may have to tweak placement
yourself instead of relying on auto placement.

Strange that it would output some text as Times Italic and others as Nimbus Slanted, then. Maybe it's something to do with the available font sizes Or maybe a hard-coded font in the "memoir" class? Or maybe one uses \textsl and the other \textit somewhere inside the class definition? Is there any typographical reason why you might want slanted instead of italic or vice-versa? Paul.
