How I could change the word _Chapter_ in a book-style document
Hi list, Firstly... happy new year 2008, best wishes to everyone. I'd like to know if it would be possible to change the word Chapter (Capítulo in my local language) to another one. I usually write book-style documents, but I'd prefer to see another word at the beginning of each chapter, such as Tema or Lección (Lesson,...) instead, due the context. Thanks in advance. Daniel

Beamer Problems
Hi,
I'm running LyX 1.5.3 on Windows, and am having trouble with compiling
the Beamer Example (beamerlyxexample1.lyx). I'm pasting in part of my log
below. I also have problems with one of my older beamer presentations I
made with an earlier version of LyX. For that presentation, I get an error
-- after exporting to Latex and trying to compile, I get the following:
ERROR: Package mathptmx Error: The symbols \jmath, \amalg and \coprod

See the mathptmx package documentation for explanation.
Type H return for immediate help.

TeX encountered an unknown command name. You probably misspelled the
name. If this message occurs when a LaTeX command is being processed,
the command is probably in the wrong place---for example, the error
can be produced by an \item command that's not inside a list-making
environment. The error can also be caused by a missing \documentclass

Re: I'm writing a book in VimOutliner
Hi all, I'm also a great fan of outlining serious texts and have also made some experiences with kdissert (being a fan of MindMaps still much longer than of any advanced text system). OTOH I'm using LyX-1.5.3 now for quite a while and am VERY content for my (restricted) expectations. Using the outlining possibilities also to some degree. To answer Abdel's question on the functionality lacking (I just checked with 1.5.3 official release as of Dec 17th, 2007): +++ It is already very helpful to be able to move entire paragraphs using the keyboard when working in the text window. *** keyboard driven jump between the text window and the table of contents window . AFAIK this is not yet possible. The other direction seems to work simply with tab (and to my surprise with shift+tab too). What about shift tab for the lacking jump. Would be similar to other apps like e.g. thunderbird (to jump between folders panel and messages panel) *** keyboard accessibility of the 5 buttons at the lower border of the toc window. This would mean that everything, i.e. writing and outlining could be done using only the keyboard. IMHO this is by far the most efficient way to produce texts. Should I enter enhancement requests into bugzilla?

In the past this led me to either retard writing certain chapters, or prematurely convert to LyX. Now, to an extent, I can write one chapter while outlining another, and have everything come out well in the end. This is not a rigorous process. The VO writing will be only a very rough draft. It can't include things like Tips, Notes, character styles etc. Well, it could, but not without time consuming difficulty. Instead, this is an informal extension of traditional outlining. The goal is still to have the book really take shape in LyX. So why don't you use LyX-1.5 directly then? Or more specifically what is missing in LyX outlining facilities? He Abdel, I haven't yet used 1.5, but when I do I'm pretty sure I'll find one thing missing in its outlining facilities: speed. VimOutliner (VO) was built for speed from the bottom up. 100% keyboard driven, no need to reach for a mouse. It uses the ultra touch-typist-friendly Vim as an engine, and adds ultra-quick ,, commands for managing the outline. I can compose and organize as fast as I can think -- a huge advantage when planning a book. I can think of two: - section folding/unfolding: I don't really understand why this is so helpful for some. I couldn't live without folding (which in general outliner-speak is called expand/collapse. It allows you to view the big picture and then drill down. It's a way of impedance matching the work to the mind. It's not about navigation, it's about getting the optimal view of the work. IMO, the ability to jump from section to section by clicking in the outlining dock is enough. That sounds like an excellent feature. Perhaps it can be put into VimOutliner. - dragdrop sections in the outlining dock: right now you have to click one of the 4 outline buttons. Yes, it sounds like dragdrop section moving would speed things up. VimOutliner doesn't have it either. With VO, you collapse the section you want to move, delete with dd, move to its desired destination, and press p or P as appropriate. This sounds very Mickey Mouse when described, but it's not that bad. Both features are not too difficult to implement provided that you find a volunteer to implement them ;-) If you (and others) could describe what you would like to have in the Wiki, it would certainly be helpful. I'm not too good with a Wiki, so I'll describe VimOutliner's features right here: Promote/demote -- headlines or whole trees Expand/collapse (also called folding) Expand/collapse by headline, by tree, and outline wide Body text that wraps (headlines don't wrap) Checkboxes with percentage completion Interoutline linking Executable lines -- any content can be viewed/executed from an outline Lightning quick interface for the touch typist I'm not sure all of the preceding are necessary for an document's outline mode.
