More Page Numbering Questions

2006-08-28 Thread Chris Share

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting page numbering to work correctly. I have a 
document that consists of a master .lyx file which includes several 
component .lyx files.


The preliminary material uses roman numerals for page numbers, while the 
actual text of the document uses arabic numerals. I'm controlling this 
using \pagenumbering{roman} and \pagenumbering{arabic} commands 
which are located in the master file.


The problem I'm runing into is that the last file in the preliminary 
section (in my case, this is the List of Tables) has arabic numbering, 
even though the \pagenumbering{arabic} command is located after it in 
the master file.


Why is this happeing?

Also, in general, if I'm creating a document that includes other files, 
where should I control things like page numbering? Should this be done 
in the component files, or should it be done in the master file?


Cheers,

Chris

Would it be possible to upload it to the oficial LyX ftp?

Re: More Page Numbering Questions

2006-08-28 Thread Richard Heck

Most of that should happen automatically, if you are generating the list
of tables and such automatically. LaTeX itself distinguishes front
matter from main matter. So there shouldn't be any need to have a
list of tables in a separate file. That ought simply to be generated for
you.

That said, you'll want to make sure there is nothing in the included
file itself that is resetting page numbering.

And, even more importantly: To debug this kind of problem, what you want
to do is export to LaTeX and then look at the result.

Maybe there's some secret formula for doing this, but I'm not sure it's
possible, at least not without a lot more customizing of .layout files
then you want to do.

Plain latex offers the \includeonly command to do this natively, that is

\includeonly{chap3}
...
\include{chap1}
...
\include{chap2}
...
\include{chap3}
...
\include{chap4}
...

Run once all needed passes with \includeonly commented out, then the next run
with \includeonly uncommented will output a correctly numbered chapter 3.

This seem quite difficult to port to LyX, and IMHO useless: multipart docs are 
quite
nice in LyX as you can compile separately without editing (in plain latex, you 
would have
to patch the preamble in each chapter file).
You just need to be confident in the fact that the numbers will be all right 
when you will build the
main document, in the same line as you are confident in TeX to compute a 
correct layout...

The tex4ht package uses htlatex or xhlatex to produce html output.
A proper environment seems to produce good results, see attached.

http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn3.html

XHTML and Unicode
The ‘xhlatex’ command is a variant of the ‘htlatex’ command requesting 
XHTML output. It consists just of a call to ‘htlatex’ with the entry 
‘xhtml’ in the first list of options and ‘-cvalidate’ in the third list. 
For instance, ‘xhlatex filename’ or ‘htlatex filename xhtml’.


To request a Unicode representation of symbols, the first list of options 
should include the ‘uni-html4’ entry, and the second list should include 
the ‘-cunihtf’ entry preceded by space. For instance, ‘xhlatex filename 
xhtml,uni-html4  -cunihtf’.


Unicode representations of symbols in UTF-8 encoding may be requested 
with the entry ‘-utf8’ added to the second list. For instance, ‘xhlatex 
filename xhtml,uni-html4  -cunihtf -utf8’.


XHTML with MathML

user interface study of lyx

2006-08-28 Thread Daryl Hepting

Hello;

I am about to start teaching an undergraduate course in human
computer interaction for the fall semester (about a week away
now) and I will be asking my students to look at lyx.  I have
been using LaTeX for years and I've had a bit of experience
with lyx.  I'm interested in how well (new) users can work with
lyx.

I joined the e-mail lists last week and I am impressed by
the amount of traffic on both the user and development lists.
What do I hope to come up with at the end of the semester? I
expect that students will come up with some design alternatives
for various aspects of the lyx interface.  I would like these
to be contributions to the lyx project.  We are very interested
in open source software development here at my university and
if all goes well, we might even have a class in winter 2007,
that could work at implementing these alternatives -- again,
as a contribution to the project.

In preparation for the class, I plan to post a separate
questionnaire to the lyx-users and lyx-devel lists.  All
responses will be carefully reviewed.  For those who are
interested, I will also post details of the study
that the students will conduct here, using participants from
the participant pool that we have here.  Basically, we will be
recruiting people who self-report proficiency in either LaTeX
or MS Word and then ask them to format a sample document using
their preferred of those 2 tools and lyx.

I welcome any comments about this.  Again, my intent is to
have this be a contribution to the lyx project.

Best regards,
Daryl

For instance, write an equation and put an alpha in it, then write

want to prevent textheight from bottom justify

2006-08-28 Thread Sue Kientz

Hi,

Is there a way to prevent the text in Book document class from bottom  
justifying the text height? What I'm seeing is, if there's a large  
block (e.g., figure) that needs to follow paragraphs or an enumerated  
list, and there's not enough space on the page, instead of leaving  
white space on the bottom of the page, it spaces out the enumerated  
list or paragraphs on that previous page, so that some text will show  
at the bottom of that page. Looks like it's bottom justifying the  
page text.


Thanks for any help.

More Page Numbering Questions

2006-08-28 Thread Chris Share

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting page numbering to work correctly. I have a 
document that consists of a master .lyx file which "includes" several 
component .lyx files.


The preliminary material uses roman numerals for page numbers, while the 
actual text of the document uses arabic numerals. I'm controlling this 
using "\pagenumbering{roman}" and "\pagenumbering{arabic}" commands 
which are located in the master file.


The problem I'm runing into is that the last file in the preliminary 
section (in my case, this is the List of Tables) has arabic numbering, 
even though the "\pagenumbering{arabic}" command is located after it in 
the master file.


Why is this happeing?

Also, in general, if I'm creating a document that includes other files, 
where should I control things like page numbering? Should this be done 
in the component files, or should it be done in the master file?


Cheers,

Chris

Hi Richard,
I can confirm that your package works seemlessly on my Dapper. 
Would it be possible to upload it to the oficial LyX ftp?

Re: More Page Numbering Questions

2006-08-28 Thread Richard Heck

Most of that should happen automatically, if you are generating the list
of tables and such automatically. LaTeX itself distinguishes "front
matter" from "main matter". So there shouldn't be any need to have a
list of tables in a separate file. That ought simply to be generated for
you.

That said, you'll want to make sure there is nothing in the included
file itself that is resetting page numbering.

And, even more importantly: To debug this kind of problem, what you want
to do is export to LaTeX and then look at the result.

Plain latex offers the \includeonly command to do this natively, that is

\includeonly{chap3}
...
\include{chap1}
...
\include{chap2}
...
\include{chap3}
...
\include{chap4}
...

Run once all needed passes with \includeonly commented out, then the next run
with \includeonly uncommented will output a correctly numbered chapter 3.

This seem quite difficult to port to LyX, and IMHO useless: multipart docs are 
quite
nice in LyX as you can compile separately without editing (in plain latex, you 
would have
to patch the preamble in each chapter file).
You just need to be confident in the fact that the numbers will be all right 
when you will build the
main document, in the same line as you are confident in TeX to compute a 
correct layout...

wish for reference interface

2006-08-28 Thread Helmut Hauser
Hi guys,

First of all thanks a lot for this great piece of
software!

I am not sure if this is the right place to make wish
(maybe the developer's list would have been better),
but anyway I think it would be a great improvement for
the reference cross-reference interface if one could
not only sort but could SEARCH for expressions (maybe
an iterative search - with a list of all results so
far).

thanks a lot,
- helmut

Wish, suggestion about templates

2006-08-28 Thread alain . didierjean
Lyx preferences allow to modify the default templates directory.
Problem: I use 2 templates directories (zs I guess some people)
1 system wide (/usr/share/lyx/templates/)
1 personal (/home/alain/.lyx/templates)
So I'd like to be able to fix it as default dir in preferences as well as the
first one instead of being stuck to $HOME in the templates request box.
Should be straight forward...
Thanks,

Is that possible ? I did some searches and I couldn't find anything. I've

The tex4ht package uses htlatex or xhlatex to produce html output.
A proper environment seems to produce good results, see attached.

http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn3.html

XHTML and Unicode
The ‘xhlatex’ command is a variant of the ‘htlatex’ command requesting 
XHTML output. It consists just of a call to ‘htlatex’ with the entry 
‘xhtml’ in the first list of options and ‘-cvalidate’ in the third list. 
For instance, ‘xhlatex filename’ or ‘htlatex filename "xhtml"’.


To request a Unicode representation of symbols, the first list of options 
should include the ‘uni-html4’ entry, and the second list should include 
the ‘-cunihtf’ entry preceded by space. For instance, ‘xhlatex filename 
"xhtml,uni-html4" " -cunihtf"’.


Unicode representations of symbols in UTF-8 encoding may be requested 
with the entry ‘-utf8’ added to the second list. For instance, ‘xhlatex 
filename "xhtml,uni-html4" " -cunihtf -utf8"’.


XHTML with MathML

Stephen

user interface study of lyx

2006-08-28 Thread Daryl Hepting

Hello;

I am about to start teaching an undergraduate course in human
computer interaction for the fall semester (about a week away
now) and I will be asking my students to look at lyx.  I have
been using LaTeX for years and I've had a bit of experience
with lyx.  I'm interested in how well (new) users can work with
lyx.

I joined the e-mail lists last week and I am impressed by
the amount of traffic on both the user and development lists.
What do I hope to come up with at the end of the semester? I
expect that students will come up with some design alternatives
for various aspects of the lyx interface.  I would like these
to be contributions to the lyx project.  We are very interested
in open source software development here at my university and
if all goes well, we might even have a class in winter 2007,
that could work at implementing these alternatives -- again,
as a contribution to the project.

In preparation for the class, I plan to post a separate
questionnaire to the lyx-users and lyx-devel lists.  All
responses will be carefully reviewed.  For those who are
interested, I will also post details of the study
that the students will conduct here, using participants from
the participant pool that we have here.  Basically, we will be
recruiting people who self-report proficiency in either LaTeX
or MS Word and then ask them to format a sample document using
their preferred of those 2 tools and lyx.

I welcome any comments about this.  Again, my intent is to
have this be a contribution to the lyx project.

Best regards,
Daryl

The jurabib package is the closest you can get to this scheme. See

I don't know what LyX exactly does nowadays because I still run
v1.3.7, but you can convert to XHTML by exporting to LaTeX and running
tex4ht 

  http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html   

on the LaTeX like this (adapt as you like):

  htlatex myfile.tex "xhtml,0,fn-in,NoFonts,fonts"

> Furthermore I'd like LyX-code sections to be , not

? Please check your markup in LyX/LaTeX before converting.

Hi.

I think this is annoying, and *commands* in ERT should not be counted.
For instance, write an equation and put an alpha in it, then write
$\alpha$ in ERT. The ERT alpha will be counted, while the equation's
will be ignored.

However, this behaviour has already been reported, see bugs #2064 and #2566.

want to prevent textheight from bottom justify

2006-08-28 Thread Sue Kientz

Hi,

Is there a way to prevent the text in Book document class from bottom  
justifying the text height? What I'm seeing is, if there's a large  
block (e.g., figure) that needs to follow paragraphs or an enumerated  
list, and there's not enough space on the page, instead of leaving  
white space on the bottom of the page, it spaces out the enumerated  
list or paragraphs on that previous page, so that some text will show  
at the bottom of that page. Looks like it's bottom justifying the  
page text.


Thanks for any help.
