Re: Problem with Hebrew Lyx - Reply
Gideon Livshits wrote: Hello! Firstly, I would like to thank you for your quick response to my problem. It means a lot! You're welcome. In general, you'll find people on the lyx mailing lists to be very responsive and helpful :) . (BTW, I'm CC-ing the mailing lists, so that this gets into the mailing lists archives, and may prove useful to other users. For those other users: this is correspondence regarding http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4228) I sent an example file to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I attach it again here. The file you sent works for me --- so my guess is that it's a latex configuration issue. See below... Soon after posting the bug, I realized that I should have kept the encoding default, which I did (as you mentioned). This changed the list of errors - from about 8 to only one, in which it complained it was lacking the jerus10 font, and therefore would produce neither dvi nor postscript. To clarify, I am giving you all the relevant details: Under Document Settings I have made the following changes (to accommodate Hebrew): Document Class: article (Hebrew) Postscript driver: Dvips (tried this because I saw the others weren't working - it too doesn't work) Fonts: Changed nothing (kept defaults) The same goes for everything else, I only changed the language to Hebrew. I *kept* the original tick under Use language's default encoding. Under Preferences the only change I made was to select Hebrew as the default language instead of Hebrew (which I think is wrong anyway, since it apparently applies to the language of interface, which I want to stay in English). (Hmm..., I think the user interface also has to do with locale settings --- you should be able to change the default document language without changing the UI, maybe by playing around with those. If you're compiling from source, you can use the --disable-nls option when configuring, and then the UI will certainly not change... But this has nothing to do with the main problem we're discussing.) So here it is: User interface file: default Bind file: mac Default Language: Hebrew. (also as an aside: some additional LyX setup which you might want to perform is to use keymaps --- these allow you to use Hebrew without having to switch languages at the keyboard level; and then also to have some keybindings for switching languages. See Dekel's instructions at http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~dekelts/lyx/instructions2.html, though you'll have to play around with it to see which parts you want and which you don't, they may not be up to date; and see http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/88941 for key bindings files --- I would use these instead of the ones Dekel mentions.) My Latex distribution is LiveTex 2007. You mention ivritex - I don't know what this is, and I don't have it installed (at least I think I don't). Would this fix everything? Do you know where I could get it? ivritex (http://ivritex.sf.net) is the name of the project for adding Hebrew support to babel. It used to be a standalone package, but has been incorporated into the latest versions of babel, so if you have babel 3.8 then it already includes hebrew support built-in. However, you may still need other support packages (fonts, etc.). I'm using TeXLive 2007 (I assume this is the same as LiveTeX?), though I'm on Linux/debian. This already uses babel 3.8, so there's no need for installing ivritex separately. There's a debian package called texlive-lang-hebrew, which provides a latex package called cjhebrew which provides the additional support needed. Try and see if you have some similar package that you could install. Another option is to use the culmus fonts. For that, I think that you'll have to download the culmus fonts (http://culmus.sourceforge.net/, chances are it's also bundled for your OS), as well as install (from source) culmus-latex, which is an in-development part of ivritex for supporting the culmus fonts (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33341). Just installing that package may be enough. In either case, I think one or both of the two options mentioned above is what will solve your issue (again, let us know either way). If you still need more help with correctly setting up Hebrew with LaTeX, you should also check out the ivritex mailing list. Thanks a lot for all your help, Gideon P. S. Please tell me if I missed something or if you need more information. Good luck, Gmar Hatima Tova! Dov
A question on latex/bibtex
Hi! I have just read a paper containing an interesting feature. Each citation in the bibliography section contains a list of links to the pages where such citation appears. For example, if citation [1] appears in pages 5 and 7, in the bibliography section we have: [1] Me and you, The book of our lives, in Kindly Publication, 2007 5 7 Does someone know how to achieve that? Thanks, Nicolás
Portuguese hyphenation?
Hello, This probably is really a newbie question but there it goes: how do I set the Portuguese hyphenation on? I've already set up the Portuguese language (with an utf8 encoding, because of BibTeX) on the document settings dialogue, but words are still getting broken in the wrong places. Thanks for your help!

Re: Latex-problem: Pagenumbering in combination with two-sided document
Christian Richter wrote: Hello, I do not have a LYX - but a LATEX-problem. I hope somebody wants to help me anyways. Ok, I am writing my thesis as a two sided document (Komo-script book). The appendix has roman pagenumbering. The problem is that the last page before the appendix is a right page (odd page number). So that the first side of the appendix should be a right page (even number). An appendix is a chapter of its own. Any two-sided layout will start a chapter on a odd page, no matter what. Starting a chapter (appendix or other chapter) on an even page is usually considered ugly and bad typography - you'll have a hard time finding any published book printed like that. Because of the pagenumbering the first page of the appendix is a left page (page number=1). How can I change it so that this page has the page number 1 but is a right page? Consider carefully if you really want this - it will probably only look odd to the serious reader. Now, you can of course use a single-sided layout and print double-sided anyway. You will then get your appendix on a even page, and you can of course reset the page counter to 1 anywhere you want to, even on that even page. There surely are people that will consider such a layout messed-up, and that cannot be good for your thesis? I do not want to use /cleadoublepage before the appendix because I can not have any more pages. Why not? If they count pages, well surely they won't count a blank one? Or offer to pay for the wasted page, if they really worry about that? Helge Hafting

Use hyperref, specifying pagebackref as an option.
E.g., include in your preamble: \usepackage[pagebackref]{hyperref}

Document Encoding
Hi. I am getting the error message: Some characters of your document are probably not representable in the chosen encoding. Changing the document encoding to utf8 could help. My document is in English without any intentional special characters and I usually don't have this issue. However I have cut and pasted a lot of material into this document which may have the offending characters (or coming in via the BibTex/bibliography). Is there an easy way to find out where these problem characters are (line numbers) because I am having a hard time finding them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Ken

Roberto It depends on the latex distribution you are using. In older distribution not all patterns of language hyphenation were used due to the memory layout of tex.

AMS users: vote your preferences!
Hi all, I'm revising the amsart, amsart-plain, amsart-seq and amsbook layouts, and there are a few oddities that need to be reconciled. Mostly I'm making choices capriciously :-), but this is something I thought I would put to a vote. The following numbered environments exist in all but amsart-plain: Theorem; Corollary; Lemma; Proposition; Conjecture; Criterion; Algorithm; Axiom; Definition; Example; Condition; Problem; Exercise; Remark; Note; Notation; Claim; Summary (yes it's numbered, don't ask me why); Acknowledgement; Case; Conclusion; Fact; Assumption (I added that last one). In the standard AMS layout, all these but one are numbered within sections, consecutively using a single counter (so that, for instance, if a lemma appears in section 3 after theorem 12, it's Lemma 3.13). The oddball is Case, which is not numbered by section, and has its own counter separate from the other items (so that if Lemma 3.13 is followed by the second case overall, it's Case 2). I don't know why Case should be treated differently from everything else, so in the absence of votes to the contrary I'll merge it into the fold. Please let me know through the list and/or by direct e-mail if you have strong preferences to the contrary. Also, this is your chance to argue for different numbering of other environments (or different labeling, different text style, whatever -- within reason). Cheers, Paul

Suppose you're using article.cls, but you want theorem environments. What do you have to do now? Edit article.layout and probably save it as article-with-theorems.layout, and then if you change your mind and want to use scrartcl.cls, you have to edit scrartcl.layout, etc, etc. In 1.6, you load one of the Theorems modules, and if you change your mind, it stays loaded. Or again: Suppose you have some charstyles you like, so you save them in charstyles.inc and include that in article.layout. Now you want to write a book, so you have to edit book.layout, and if you change your mind about the document class, you have no option but mass murder. In 1.6, you save your charstyles to charstyles.module (and reconfigure!), then load the module and live peacefully for the rest of your life.

Hi all,
I'm revising the amsart, amsart-plain, amsart-seq and amsbook layouts,
and there are a few oddities that need to be reconciled. Mostly I'm
making choices capriciously :-), but this is something I thought I would
put to a vote.
The following numbered environments exist in all but amsart-plain:
Theorem; Corollary; Lemma; Proposition; Conjecture; Criterion;
Algorithm; Axiom; Definition; Example; Condition; Problem; Exercise;
Remark; Note; Notation; Claim; Summary (yes it's numbered, don't ask me
why); Acknowledgement; Case; Conclusion; Fact; Assumption (I added that
last one).
I don't think I am to blame for Summary, maybe Jean-Marc. He modified
thexse enviromnents a lot from my original hack.
In the standard AMS layout, all these but one are numbered within
sections, consecutively using a single counter (so that, for instance,
if a lemma appears in section 3 after theorem 12, it's Lemma 3.13). The
oddball is Case, which is not numbered by section, and has its own
counter separate from the other items (so that if Lemma 3.13 is followed
by the second case overall, it's Case 2).
I am trying to remember why I did that. I do remember that that was a
special case for some reason. I have been trying to read through the
documentation of the amslatex package to find that, but I have changed
computers since then, and don't seem to have the documentation of this.
But you are right, it is an oddball thing.
But cases is an oddball thing. You use this in the midst of a proof.
Case 1, case 2, etc. You know, like:
Case 1; x0
blah
Case 2; x 0
blah, blah
Case 3: x=0
Trivial.
So having cases have the same numbering as theorem environments is
wrong. It would be better to reset the numbering automatically after
each proof environment. What I do in practice is to reset the numbering
when needed -- although I don't recall how I did that now. Maybe a
simple \setcounter{cases}{0} would work...??
I don't know why Case should be treated differently from everything
else, so in the absence of votes to the contrary I'll merge it into the
fold.
I really don't think that is right. Cases isn't really a theorem
environment, although it is treated like one in latex.
There was a glitch in recent versions of lyx that did not reset the
secondary number from section to section, so if you had 4 theorems in
section 1, the first theorem in section 2 would appear on-screen as
theorem (2.5). It did not print that way, though. Someone sent me
layout files that fixed that (maybe you?), but in any event those
changes should be incorporated.

Re: Problem with Hebrew Lyx - Reply
Gideon Livshits wrote: Hello! Firstly, I would like to thank you for your quick response to my problem. It means a lot! You're welcome. In general, you'll find people on the lyx mailing lists to be very responsive and helpful :) . (BTW, I'm CC-ing the mailing lists, so that this gets into the mailing lists archives, and may prove useful to other users. For those other users: this is correspondence regarding http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4228) I sent an example file to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I attach it again here. The file you sent works for me --- so my guess is that it's a latex configuration issue. See below... Soon after posting the bug, I realized that I should have kept the encoding default, which I did (as you mentioned). This changed the list of errors - from about 8 to only one, in which it complained it was lacking the jerus10 font, and therefore would produce neither dvi nor postscript. To clarify, I am giving you all the relevant details: Under Document Settings I have made the following changes (to accommodate Hebrew): Document Class: article (Hebrew) Postscript driver: Dvips (tried this because I saw the others weren't working - it too doesn't work) Fonts: Changed nothing (kept defaults) The same goes for everything else, I only changed the language to Hebrew. I *kept* the original tick under Use language's default encoding. Under Preferences the only change I made was to select Hebrew as the default language instead of Hebrew (which I think is wrong anyway, since it apparently applies to the language of interface, which I want to stay in English). (Hmm..., I think the user interface also has to do with locale settings --- you should be able to change the default document language without changing the UI, maybe by playing around with those. If you're compiling from source, you can use the --disable-nls option when configuring, and then the UI will certainly not change... But this has nothing to do with the main problem we're discussing.) So here it is: User interface file: default Bind file: mac Default Language: Hebrew. (also as an aside: some additional LyX setup which you might want to perform is to use keymaps --- these allow you to use Hebrew without having to switch languages at the keyboard level; and then also to have some keybindings for switching languages. See Dekel's instructions at http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~dekelts/lyx/instructions2.html, though you'll have to play around with it to see which parts you want and which you don't, they may not be up to date; and see http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/88941 for key bindings files --- I would use these instead of the ones Dekel mentions.) My Latex distribution is LiveTex 2007. You mention ivritex - I don't know what this is, and I don't have it installed (at least I think I don't). Would this fix everything? Do you know where I could get it? ivritex (http://ivritex.sf.net) is the name of the project for adding Hebrew support to babel. It used to be a standalone package, but has been incorporated into the latest versions of babel, so if you have babel 3.8 then it already includes hebrew support built-in. However, you may still need other support packages (fonts, etc.). I'm using TeXLive 2007 (I assume this is the same as LiveTeX?), though I'm on Linux/debian. This already uses babel 3.8, so there's no need for installing ivritex separately. There's a debian package called texlive-lang-hebrew, which provides a latex package called cjhebrew which provides the additional support needed. Try and see if you have some similar package that you could install. Another option is to use the culmus fonts. For that, I think that you'll have to download the culmus fonts (http://culmus.sourceforge.net/, chances are it's also bundled for your OS), as well as install (from source) culmus-latex, which is an in-development part of ivritex for supporting the culmus fonts (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33341). Just installing that package may be enough. In either case, I think one or both of the two options mentioned above is what will solve your issue (again, let us know either way). If you still need more help with correctly setting up Hebrew with LaTeX, you should also check out the ivritex mailing list. Thanks a lot for all your help, Gideon P. S. Please tell me if I missed something or if you need more information. Good luck, Gmar Hatima Tova! Dov
A question on latex/bibtex
Hi! I have just read a paper containing an interesting feature. Each citation in the bibliography section contains a list of links to the pages where such citation appears. For example, if citation [1] appears in pages 5 and 7, in the bibliography section we have: [1] Me and you, The book of our lives, in Kindly Publication, 2007 5 7 Does someone know how to achieve that? Thanks, Nicolás
Portuguese hyphenation?
Hello, This probably is really a newbie question but there it goes: how do I set the Portuguese hyphenation on? I've already set up the Portuguese language (with an utf8 encoding, because of BibTeX) on the document settings dialogue, but words are still getting broken in the wrong places. Thanks for your help!

Re: Latex-problem: Pagenumbering in combination with two-sided document
Christian Richter wrote: Hello, I do not have a LYX - but a LATEX-problem. I hope somebody wants to help me anyways. Ok, I am writing my thesis as a two sided document (Komo-script book). The appendix has roman pagenumbering. The problem is that the last page before the appendix is a right page (odd page number). So that the first side of the appendix should be a right page (even number). An appendix is a chapter of its own. Any two-sided layout will start a chapter on a odd page, no matter what. Starting a chapter (appendix or other chapter) on an even page is usually considered ugly and bad typography - you'll have a hard time finding any published book printed like that. Because of the pagenumbering the first page of the appendix is a left page (page number=1). How can I change it so that this page has the page number 1 but is a right page? Consider carefully if you really want this - it will probably only look odd to the serious reader. Now, you can of course use a single-sided layout and print double-sided anyway. You will then get your appendix on a even page, and you can of course reset the page counter to 1 anywhere you want to, even on that even page. There surely are people that will consider such a layout messed-up, and that cannot be good for your thesis? I do not want to use /cleadoublepage before the appendix because I can not have any more pages. Why not? If they count pages, well surely they won't count a blank one? Or offer to pay for the wasted page, if they really worry about that? Helge Hafting

Use hyperref, specifying pagebackref as an option.
E.g., include in your preamble: \usepackage[pagebackref]{hyperref}

Document Encoding
Hi. I am getting the error message: Some characters of your document are probably not representable in the chosen encoding. Changing the document encoding to utf8 could help. My document is in English without any intentional special characters and I usually don't have this issue. However I have cut and pasted a lot of material into this document which may have the offending characters (or coming in via the BibTex/bibliography). Is there an easy way to find out where these problem characters are (line numbers) because I am having a hard time finding them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Ken

AMS users: vote your preferences!
Hi all, I'm revising the amsart, amsart-plain, amsart-seq and amsbook layouts, and there are a few oddities that need to be reconciled. Mostly I'm making choices capriciously :-), but this is something I thought I would put to a vote. The following numbered environments exist in all but amsart-plain: Theorem; Corollary; Lemma; Proposition; Conjecture; Criterion; Algorithm; Axiom; Definition; Example; Condition; Problem; Exercise; Remark; Note; Notation; Claim; Summary (yes it's numbered, don't ask me why); Acknowledgement; Case; Conclusion; Fact; Assumption (I added that last one). In the standard AMS layout, all these but one are numbered within sections, consecutively using a single counter (so that, for instance, if a lemma appears in section 3 after theorem 12, it's Lemma 3.13). The oddball is Case, which is not numbered by section, and has its own counter separate from the other items (so that if Lemma 3.13 is followed by the second case overall, it's Case 2). I don't know why Case should be treated differently from everything else, so in the absence of votes to the contrary I'll merge it into the fold. Please let me know through the list and/or by direct e-mail if you have strong preferences to the contrary. Also, this is your chance to argue for different numbering of other environments (or different labeling, different text style, whatever -- within reason). Cheers, Paul

Suppose you're using article.cls, but you want theorem environments. What do you have to do now? Edit article.layout and probably save it as article-with-theorems.layout, and then if you change your mind and want to use scrartcl.cls, you have to edit scrartcl.layout, etc, etc. In 1.6, you load one of the Theorems modules, and if you change your mind, it stays loaded. Or again: Suppose you have some charstyles you like, so you save them in charstyles.inc and include that in article.layout. Now you want to write a book, so you have to edit book.layout, and if you change your mind about the document class, you have no option but mass murder. In 1.6, you save your charstyles to charstyles.module (and reconfigure!), then load the module and live peacefully for the rest of your life.

documentation of the amslatex package to find that, but I have changed
computers since then, and don't seem to have the documentation of this.
But you are right, it is an oddball thing.
But cases is an oddball thing. You use this in the midst of a proof.
Case 1, case 2, etc. You know, like:
Case 1; x0
blah
Case 2; x 0
blah, blah
Case 3: x=0
Trivial.
So having cases have the same numbering as theorem environments is
wrong. It would be better to reset the numbering automatically after
each proof environment. What I do in practice is to reset the numbering
when needed -- although I don't recall how I did that now. Maybe a
simple \setcounter{cases}{0} would work...??
I don't know why Case should be treated differently from everything
else, so in the absence of votes to the contrary I'll merge it into the
fold.
I really don't think that is right. Cases isn't really a theorem
environment, although it is treated like one in latex.
There was a glitch in recent versions of lyx that did not reset the
secondary number from section to section, so if you had 4 theorems in
section 1, the first theorem in section 2 would appear on-screen as
theorem (2.5). It did not print that way, though. Someone sent me
layout files that fixed that (maybe you?), but in any event those
changes should be incorporated.

Re: Problem with Hebrew Lyx - Reply
Gideon Livshits wrote: Hello! Firstly, I would like to thank you for your quick response to my problem. It means a lot! You're welcome. In general, you'll find people on the lyx mailing lists to be very responsive and helpful :) . (BTW, I'm CC-ing the mailing lists, so that this gets into the mailing lists archives, and may prove useful to other users. For those other users: this is correspondence regarding http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4228) I sent an example file to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I attach it again here. The file you sent works for me --- so my guess is that it's a latex configuration issue. See below... Soon after posting the bug, I realized that I should have kept the encoding default, which I did (as you mentioned). This changed the list of errors - from about 8 to only one, in which it complained it was lacking the jerus10 font, and therefore would produce neither dvi nor postscript. To clarify, I am giving you all the relevant details: Under Document Settings I have made the following changes (to accommodate Hebrew): Document Class: article (Hebrew) Postscript driver: Dvips (tried this because I saw the others weren't working - it too doesn't work) Fonts: Changed nothing (kept defaults) The same goes for everything else, I only changed the language to Hebrew. I *kept* the original tick under "Use language's default encoding". Under Preferences the only change I made was to select Hebrew as the default language instead of Hebrew (which I think is wrong anyway, since it apparently applies to the language of interface, which I want to stay in English). (Hmm..., I think the user interface also has to do with locale settings --- you should be able to change the default document language without changing the UI, maybe by playing around with those. If you're compiling from source, you can use the --disable-nls option when configuring, and then the UI will certainly not change... But this has nothing to do with the main problem we're discussing.) So here it is: User interface file: default Bind file: mac Default Language: Hebrew. (also as an aside: some additional LyX setup which you might want to perform is to use keymaps --- these allow you to use Hebrew without having to switch languages at the keyboard level; and then also to have some keybindings for switching languages. See Dekel's instructions at http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~dekelts/lyx/instructions2.html, though you'll have to play around with it to see which parts you want and which you don't, they may not be up to date; and see http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/88941 for key bindings files --- I would use these instead of the ones Dekel mentions.) My Latex distribution is LiveTex 2007. You mention ivritex - I don't know what this is, and I don't have it installed (at least I think I don't). Would this fix everything? Do you know where I could get it? ivritex (http://ivritex.sf.net) is the name of the project for adding Hebrew support to babel. It used to be a standalone package, but has been incorporated into the latest versions of babel, so if you have babel 3.8 then it already includes hebrew support built-in. However, you may still need other support packages (fonts, etc.). I'm using TeXLive 2007 (I assume this is the same as LiveTeX?), though I'm on Linux/debian. This already uses babel 3.8, so there's no need for installing ivritex separately. There's a debian package called texlive-lang-hebrew, which provides a latex package called cjhebrew which provides the additional support needed. Try and see if you have some similar package that you could install. Another option is to use the culmus fonts. For that, I think that you'll have to download the culmus fonts (http://culmus.sourceforge.net/, chances are it's also bundled for your OS), as well as install (from source) culmus-latex, which is an in-development part of ivritex for supporting the culmus fonts (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33341). Just installing that package may be enough. In either case, I think one or both of the two options mentioned above is what will solve your issue (again, let us know either way). If you still need more help with correctly setting up Hebrew with LaTeX, you should also check out the ivritex mailing list. Thanks a lot for all your help, Gideon P. S. Please tell me if I missed something or if you need more information. Good luck, Gmar Hatima Tova! Dov
A question on latex/bibtex
Hi! I have just read a paper containing an interesting feature. Each citation in the bibliography section contains a list of links to the pages where such citation appears. For example, if citation [1] appears in pages 5 and 7, in the bibliography section we have: [1] Me and you, "The book of our lives", in Kindly Publication, 2007 5 7 Does someone know how to achieve that? Thanks, Nicolás
Portuguese hyphenation?
Hello, This probably is really a newbie question but there it goes: how do I set the Portuguese hyphenation on? I've already set up the Portuguese language (with an utf8 encoding, because of BibTeX) on the document settings dialogue, but words are still getting broken in the wrong places. Thanks for your help!

Re: Latex-problem: Pagenumbering in combination with two-sided document
Christian Richter wrote: Hello, I do not have a LYX - but a LATEX-problem. I hope somebody wants to help me anyways. Ok, I am writing my thesis as a two sided document (Komo-script book). The appendix has roman pagenumbering. The problem is that the last page before the appendix is a right page (odd page number). So that the first side of the appendix should be a right page (even number). An appendix is a chapter of its own. Any two-sided layout will start a chapter on a odd page, no matter what. Starting a chapter (appendix or other chapter) on an even page is usually considered ugly and bad typography - you'll have a hard time finding any published book printed like that. Because of the pagenumbering the first page of the appendix is a left page (page number=1). How can I change it so that this page has the page number 1 but is a right page? Consider carefully if you really want this - it will probably only look odd to the serious reader. Now, you can of course use a single-sided layout and print double-sided anyway. You will then get your appendix on a even page, and you can of course reset the page counter to 1 anywhere you want to, even on that even page. There surely are people that will consider such a layout messed-up, and that cannot be good for your thesis? I do not want to use /cleadoublepage before the appendix because I can not have any more pages. Why not? If they count pages, well surely they won't count a blank one? Or offer to pay for the wasted page, if they really worry about that? Helge Hafting

Use hyperref, specifying "pagebackref" as an option.

Document Encoding
Hi. I am getting the error message: "Some characters of your document are probably not representable in the chosen encoding. Changing the document encoding to utf8 could help." My document is in English without any intentional special characters and I usually don't have this issue. However I have cut and pasted a lot of material into this document which may have the offending characters (or coming in via the BibTex/bibliography). Is there an easy way to find out where these problem characters are (line numbers) because I am having a hard time finding them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Ken

In older distribution not all patterns of language hyphenation were used due to the memory layout of tex. That meant that portuguese was not one of the used by default languages. :-) For modern distributions that should not be a problem.

AMS users: vote your preferences!
Hi all, I'm revising the amsart, amsart-plain, amsart-seq and amsbook layouts, and there are a few oddities that need to be reconciled. Mostly I'm making choices capriciously :-), but this is something I thought I would put to a vote. The following numbered environments exist in all but amsart-plain: Theorem; Corollary; Lemma; Proposition; Conjecture; Criterion; Algorithm; Axiom; Definition; Example; Condition; Problem; Exercise; Remark; Note; Notation; Claim; Summary (yes it's numbered, don't ask me why); Acknowledgement; Case; Conclusion; Fact; Assumption (I added that last one). In the standard AMS layout, all these but one are numbered within sections, consecutively using a single counter (so that, for instance, if a lemma appears in section 3 after theorem 12, it's Lemma 3.13). The oddball is Case, which is not numbered by section, and has its own counter separate from the other items (so that if Lemma 3.13 is followed by the second case overall, it's Case 2). I don't know why Case should be treated differently from everything else, so in the absence of votes to the contrary I'll merge it into the fold. Please let me know through the list and/or by direct e-mail if you have strong preferences to the contrary. Also, this is your chance to argue for different numbering of other environments (or different labeling, different text style, whatever -- within reason). Cheers, Paul

Suppose you're using article.cls, but you want theorem environments. What do you have to do now? Edit article.layout and probably save it as article-with-theorems.layout, and then if you change your mind and want to use scrartcl.cls, you have to edit scrartcl.layout, etc, etc. In 1.6, you load one of the Theorems modules, and if you change your mind, it stays loaded. Or again: Suppose you have some charstyles you like, so you save them in charstyles.inc and include that in article.layout. Now you want to write a book, so you have to edit book.layout, and if you change your mind about the document class, you have no option but mass murder. In 1.6, you save your charstyles to charstyles.module (and reconfigure!), then load the module and live peacefully for the rest of your life.

I'm revising the amsart, amsart-plain, amsart-seq and amsbook layouts,
and there are a few oddities that need to be reconciled. Mostly I'm
making choices capriciously :-), but this is something I thought I would
put to a vote.
The following numbered environments exist in all but amsart-plain:
Theorem; Corollary; Lemma; Proposition; Conjecture; Criterion;
Algorithm; Axiom; Definition; Example; Condition; Problem; Exercise;
Remark; Note; Notation; Claim; Summary (yes it's numbered, don't ask me
why); Acknowledgement; Case; Conclusion; Fact; Assumption (I added that
last one).
I don't think I am to blame for Summary, maybe Jean-Marc. He modified
thexse enviromnents a lot from my original hack.
In the standard AMS layout, all these but one are numbered within
sections, consecutively using a single counter (so that, for instance,
if a lemma appears in section 3 after theorem 12, it's Lemma 3.13). The
oddball is Case, which is not numbered by section, and has its own
counter separate from the other items (so that if Lemma 3.13 is followed
by the second case overall, it's Case 2).
I am trying to remember why I did that. I do remember that that was a
"special case" for some reason. I have been trying to read through the
documentation of the amslatex package to find that, but I have changed
computers since then, and don't seem to have the documentation of this.
But you are right, it is an oddball thing.
But cases is an oddball thing. You use this in the midst of a proof.
Case 1, case 2, etc. You know, like:
Case 1; x>0
blah
Case 2; x< 0
blah, blah
Case 3: x=0
Trivial.
So having cases have the same numbering as theorem environments is
wrong. It would be better to reset the numbering automatically after
each proof environment. What I do in practice is to reset the numbering
when needed -- although I don't recall how I did that now. Maybe a
simple \setcounter{cases}{0} would work...??
I don't know why Case should be treated differently from everything
else, so in the absence of votes to the contrary I'll merge it into the
fold.
I really don't think that is right. Cases isn't really a theorem
environment, although it is treated like one in latex.
There was a glitch in recent versions of lyx that did not reset the
secondary number from section to section, so if you had 4 theorems in
section 1, the first theorem in section 2 would appear on-screen as
theorem (2.5). It did not print that way, though. Someone sent me
layout files that fixed that (maybe you?), but in any event those
changes should be incorporated.

Thanks! I just realized that when I viewed it! I should have waited a few minutes before posting.
