Re: custom layout resources for common environments

2005-11-20 Thread Nusret BALCI

Thanks Roy.
Sure I'll look at the examples, etc. I just didn't
want to reinvent the wheel: if people already did
create layout files for such stuff, I could happily
use them though :). 

Well, to put it more precisely, what I meant was, in
fact, the rendering on the screen of the document (by
LyX, not the final output). As I said, the final
output is usually satisfactory if you can fine tune
enough your document within LyX, or directly in
exported LaTeX file.

Just to be able to explain better my point (not to
advocate or advertise any software: as i said, this
whole thing is cosmetic in nature), let me give an
example:

In the past I used Sientific Workplace writing my M.S.
thesis (and I will use, hopefully, LyX in for my PhD
thesis :). They used a similar layout dropdown box,
but it had some of the options I mentioned. For
example, if you select the Theorem environment (just
as you do when you select, say, Enumerate in LyX,
rendering automatically changed to an emphasized mode
together with a Theorem caption, etc. This was very
pleasant to my eyes. 

If I undestand it corectly (I started to use LyX just
a few days ago, so I may be very well wrong), you can
avoid gray ERT boxes if you create custom layout
files.

My question is whether there are such custom layout
files of your own or on the web. Thank you in advance
to everyone who will be willing to share: If I manage
to obtain pretty layout files, I'll make them
available on the web. But given that I'm still a
beginner here, it may take time especially since my
weekdays are somewhat busy these days.

And, hell no, I don't mean talking dogs or paper
clips :). They are sweet though, aren't they :)?

Regards,
Nusret



 
  Hi everybody,
  Is there a place or does anybody know a good site
 for
  custom layouts which can be used with LyX? For
  example, there is no theorem, corollary, proof,
  exercise, exam question, multiple choice test
  question, etc. layouts available by default. Of
 course
  this is a relatively side issue as you can get
 what
  you want in the final typeset document, but it
 would
  be nice to have visual effects on the screen as
 you
  work with LyX :). If there are such repositories
 on
  the net that you are aware of, could you let me
 know?
  Regards,
  Nusret
 
 Hi,
 
 I suggest you look at the following set of Wiki
 pages:
 
 http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Examples
 
 Also,  be  sure to have a look at examples, which
 come  pre-packaged  with
 LyX. They reside in:
 
 /lyx/examples/
 
 where /lyx is your LyX installation directory.





 For  theorem,  corollary,  proof and so forth you
 might have  to  use  ERT
 (Insert - TeX), though there are workarounds that
 might suit you better.
 
 I  am  not too sure what you mean by visual effects
 on the screen as  you
 work with LyX. As output is usually paper or a Web
 page, dynamicity would
 be gratuitous and lead to speed penalties. Are you
 thinking of a paperclip
 or a talking dog?
 
 Hope it helps,
 
 Roy

  Sometimes, some in-line equations cause a larger inter-lines spacing

 I  know exactly what you mean, but what solution can ever be offered?  You
 could  either  space up other lines accordingly (i.e. increase spacing  to
 1.5  or 2), reduce the size of the fonts, avoid in-lining or, in the  case
 of division, change the form of the equation.

 If  the  same  line spacing was adhered to, there would be  overlap  among
 text,  which is an even less desirable side-effect. By re-organising  your
 sentences  and layout, you might avoid that too, e.g. put in-line equation
 in  first  sentence on page or the beginning of short a paragraph. If  you
 massage the text, however, it is all prone to breakage though.

Thanks, Roy. My question was motivated by the fact that I have found
journal articles where the reported problem does not occur. Then, I
speculated that a solution could probably be found.

Yes, you're right. I noticed that just a couple of

My document uses standard book class + some stuff in

layout file for book class, or better creating a

However, in the main LyX window, we need to interpret each and every 
key

press and so must generate the std::string from these key presses. We
can't leave things to Qt. Our own, home grown key handling code is less
sophisticated than Qt's, but crucially for us, we have total control 
over

it to do lots of other stuff.



That makes sense. Now I know why the behavior is different---I suppose 
there must be something wrong with my setup, then, if the compose key 
works in QT but doesn't in LyX. Will wait for the next release and hope

Thanks, Roy. My question was motivated by the fact that I have found
journal articles where the reported problem does not occur. Then, I
speculated that a solution could probably be found.

Sanda,
Did you try tex2lyx? It may give you better results.
See http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/LatexToLyx for available
versions.
Just an idea...

Also check out

> http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts

which is the place where user's can upload their own layout files (which 
among other things control the appearance in the LyX window).

There are (lyx) layout classes with those styles defined, search for ams 
variants and you will see them.

Yes, you're right. I noticed that just a couple of
minutes ago.
My document uses standard book class + some stuff in
preamble, but I guess I can copy them by modifying
layout file for book class, or better creating a
hybrid layout. It doesn't seem so hard now.

Thank you all.

that produces lyx, which cant be corectly displayed by the older
version then lyx 1.4 (which is not yet :) 
compiling devel release is not easy for my configuration now, so
i will wait for 1.4 release.

thanks for pointing out

  You can get the 1.4 version of lyx2lyx to revert back to 1.3.x format, 
actually as soon as 1.4.0 is released 1.3.7 will be released this way, with 
the ability to read 1.4.x files.

Re: latex import problem

2005-11-20 Thread Nusret BALCI

Actually, that page contains links to "backports".
from the page:
**
"tex2lyx will be part of the upcoming 1.4 release of
LyX. This page page describes its use with older LyXes
(such as the current stable release, LyX 1.3.x) and
provides some ready-to-use packages. "

***
Namely, you can find a version suitable for your LyX
setup. Of course, if you want to try :). I don't even
know whether it will make a difference for you, but it
worked for me after some search-replace.

Nusret

Re: LyX function for German hard S?

2005-11-20 Thread Stefano Franchi
However, in the main LyX window, we need to interpret each and every 
key

press and so must generate the std::string from these key presses. We
can't leave things to Qt. Our own, home grown key handling code is less
sophisticated than Qt's, but crucially for us, we have total control 
over

it to do lots of other stuff.



That makes sense. Now I know why the behavior is different---I suppose 
there must be something wrong with my setup, then, if the compose key 
works in QT but doesn't in LyX. Will wait for the next release and hope 
for the best, but thanks for the explanation.
