Feature Request / suggestions for new LyX functions

2006-08-19 Thread Markus Jockisch




Dear Sirs,

thank you very much for your engagement for Free Software.

Here are some suggestions for new LyX functions:

1. LaTeX packages: dropping or dropcaps
Could you implement one of these packages? They are much too difficult for 
standard users to use via ERT. Initials  are so basic in typography.

2. LaTeX package endnotes:
Two options should be included in the implemenation of endnotes for LyX:
1) adding endnotes at the end of a chapter (not only at the end of a book).
2) using footnotes (in the chapter) AND using endnotes (at the end of the same 
chapter) simultaneuosly, separately
The possibility to define oneŽs own denotation for the endnotes (for entiteling 
them) would also be usefull.

3. Making a page number invisible
It would be important to have a function for making a page number invisible: 
When an image needs the whole page it sometimes would look better without the 
page number at the bottom of it.

Thank you once again for engaging for LyX!


Yours sincerely

Markus Jockisch

Short titles in fancyheader: delayed reaction

2006-08-19 Thread Catherine Heyrendt


When I use the ERT \chaptermark{my shorter title} in order to have a 
shorter chapter title in the header, there is a delayed reaction. It 
works well for all pages, but not for the first page, the one with the 
actual chapter title. Instead, I get the full title inelegantly cut in the 
header. Any ideas how to get the chapter title page to work too?


The problem was mentioned almost 3 years ago (see below) but I couldn't 
find any answers.


Many thanks,
Catherine

Hello LyX-List,

In a document I use fancy pagestyle and I want the chapters and
sectiontitles to be printed in short form in the header, so some of the
older E-mails tell that the command needed is:

\sectionmark{abc}

and it works for all the pages where no new section is started. But on
this page the short chapter-title but the long (original) section-title
is displayed in the header; so another E-mail tells that the pagestyle
ist set to plain at the beginning of new chapters - is it the same with
beginnings of new sections, and: is this the problem? - can I change
this?

Actually, I spoke too soon. This solution does sort my header problem, but 
it creates another one. In the toc, I then get the short title, but I 
would like the full title to appear.

This is how standard LaTeX classes work...

If you use the memoir class, this is possible by adding two different
Short Title insets in the paragraph (I do not remember what the order
is).

Google fancyplain.  This is an alternative page style (also defined in 
fancyhdr.sty IIRC) that allows you to specify headers/footers separately 
for ordinary pages (which fancy style does) and for title pages 
(including first page of a chapter), which fancy style skips.  I'm not 
sure, but I think this will help.
