Lyx for Posters; Unavailable classes

[Ehud Kaplan]

I am trying to use Lyx 1.6.2 to create a poster under Linux.
Lyx shows  sciposter.cls  in the list of document classes

fact, many other classes that

are on my system are also listed as Unavailable.

Yes, but it is complicated. According to the _LaTeX Companion_: 'Double 
spacing' means that the vertical distance between baselines is about 
twice as large as the font size, which means, visually, that it should 
look as if an additional line would fit perfectly between the printed 
lines. Traditional word processors produce double spacing the way a 
typewriter does, by skipping a line. This means that you insert the 
leading twice, too, and so the distance between lines is much greater. 
Essentially the same goes for 1.5 in a word processor.


You can get this effect, if you want, using the preamble.
   \usepackage{setspace}
   \setstretch{1.5}

Re: Reset Section Numbering by Part

[Andrew Hills]

but in my head if you need a toc and to start sections anew for each
part, you do not write an article ;).


You caught me; I'm not writing an article. The article class is just the 
one I'm most familiar manipulating. I'm also not releasing the source 
for my document, so I'm more comfortable with unorthodox hacks.


It turns out there's a simple preamble command that accomplishes what I 
want: \...@addtoreset{section}{part}. It turned up after hours of poring 
over documentation when Google searches failed.

footnote - font size

[Markus Büchele]

Hi,

I'm using the book class and cannot get the numbers of footnotes in the 
footnote lines (not the text) into the following format:
normal size, not superscript

I am not using KOMA, so this does not work:
\deffootnote[1em]{1.5em}{1em}{\textsuperscript{\thefootnotemark}}

How do I get rid of the superscript?

I have configured the footnotes with footmisc so far:

\usepackage[hang]{footmisc}
\setlength{\footnotemargin}{0.7cm}
\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{}

Thanks very much for your help!

Markus

P.S. Sorry for posting this again, it's the last formatting problem I have 
with my PhD thesis  - I suppose my first attempt on Saturday afternoon was 
not the most suitable time for immediate replies ;-) - Thanks!

LyX, Songbird, and Mac OS X

[Liz Cademy]

Hello!

I am brand new to LaTeX and Lyx. I downloaded them specifically to  
create a book of song lyrics for my daughter.


Details:  Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) on a PowerBook G4

I am very familiar with the Mac OS, but not with linux or the  
terminal. If the solution to my problem needs me to work in Terminal,  
please be very, very specific.


I am trying to install Songbird. I am following the instructions on  
this wiki page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Songbook#toc4

I downloaded SongbookRelease 4.0, unpacked it, and put it in my ~/ 
application Support/Lyx  folder.  Though it isn't stated in the wiki,  
this seems like the logical place for the files.


I downloaded Songbook_lyx, unpacked it, and also put it in the same   
folder.


I then opened Lyx and chose the Reconfigure menu item. I got a dialog  
that said Lyx was reconfigured (with no details) and to restart Lyx,  
which I did.


I tried opening the Songbook template in Lyx, I get a The document  
class songbook could not be found ... dialog.


I noticed that I have the conditionals.sty file, but not the  
songbook.sty file. The wiki shows a download for the songbook.sty  
file, but when I downloaded it (again, into my applications support/ 
lyx folder), I got the exact same error in Lyx, even after  
reconfiguring.



Help, please!

Repeating a multi-line equation

[Ben M.]

Hi, I'm working on a document that looks like this:

Lots of text
   Multi-line equation #1
More text
   Multi-line equation #2
More text
...
Summary of useful equations:
   Multi-line equation #1
   Multi-line equation #2

Ideally, if I change something, I should only have to change it in one
place.  One approach would be to use math macros.  However, it seems
impossible to insert a multi-line AMS environment inside a math macro.

Probably a better solution would be to insert a cross-reference which
somehow reproduces the original equation.  Anyone know of a package
that does this?

Thanks!

Songbook is a LaTeX package, and so it belongs in your LaTeX tree. On
Mac, that would be at:

~/Library/texmf/tex/latex

(You can use the Finder to put it there.)

 I downloaded Songbook_lyx, unpacked it, and also put it in the same  folder.

LyX's layout files need to be in the layout folder of your LyX user's
directory. That would be (on Mac):

~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/layouts

Put it there, then reconfigure and restart LyX. That should solve your problems.

Russian hyphenation doesn't work

[D.Zorig]

Hi all,

By default LyX doesn't hyphenate Russian language documents.
I tried to include
\usepackage[russian]{babel} in the preamble but still doesn't hyphenate.

By google search I found following article.
http://www.ibiblio.org/sergei/Software/tex.html
There it says

As of v3.6h, Babel has a broken support of Russian in X2(T2). In order for
it to work, you should get a replacement from the *X2(T2)* support macro
distribution. There is a rusbabel/ subdirectory there. Replace Russian
support in the original Babel distribution with those files. You might want
to recreate Babel styles from the gound up or generate Russian support
separately and copy .fd, .def, .sty and other appropriate files into a
directory with a working babel.

Does anyone have idea how to get it work?
For now I'm including
\usepackage[mongolian]{babel} in the preamble to hyphenate Russian words but
everything else becomes Mongolian and it is a bit troublesome.

Kind regards,
Zorigtkhuu Davaanyam

Yes, but it is complicated. According to the _LaTeX Companion_: 'Double 
spacing' means that the vertical distance between baselines is about 
twice as large as the font size, which means, visually, that it should 
look as if an additional line would fit perfectly between the printed

footnote - font size

[Markus Büchele]

Hi,

I'm using the book class and cannot get the numbers of footnotes in the 
footnote lines (not the text) into the following format:
normal size, not superscript

I am not using KOMA, so this does not work:
\deffootnote[1em]{1.5em}{1em}{\textsuperscript{\thefootnotemark}}

How do I get rid of the superscript?

I have configured the footnotes with footmisc so far:

\usepackage[hang]{footmisc}

Thanks very much for your help!

LyX, Songbird, and Mac OS X

[Liz Cademy]

Hello!

I am brand new to LaTeX and Lyx. I downloaded them specifically to  
create a book of song lyrics for my daughter.


Details:  Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) on a PowerBook G4

I am very familiar with the Mac OS, but not with linux or the  
terminal. If the solution to my problem needs me to work in Terminal,  
please be very, very specific.


I am trying to install Songbird. I am following the instructions on  
this wiki page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Songbook#toc4

I downloaded SongbookRelease 4.0, unpacked it, and put it in my ~/ 
application Support/Lyx  folder.  Though it isn't stated in the wiki,  
this seems like the logical place for the files.


I downloaded Songbook_lyx, unpacked it, and also put it in the same   
folder.


I then opened Lyx and chose the Reconfigure menu item. I got a dialog  
that said Lyx was reconfigured (with no details) and to restart Lyx,  
which I did.


I tried opening the Songbook template in Lyx, I get a The document  
class songbook could not be found ... dialog.


I noticed that I have the conditionals.sty file, but not the  
songbook.sty file. The wiki shows a download for the songbook.sty  
file, but when I downloaded it (again, into my applications support/ 
lyx folder), I got the exact same error in Lyx, even after  
reconfiguring.



Help, please!

Repeating a multi-line equation

[Ben M.]

Hi, I'm working on a document that looks like this:

Lots of text
   Multi-line equation #1
More text
   Multi-line equation #2
More text
...
Summary of useful equations:
   Multi-line equation #1
   Multi-line equation #2

Ideally, if I change something, I should only have to change it in one
place.  One approach would be to use math macros.  However, it seems
impossible to insert a multi-line AMS environment inside a math macro.

Probably a better solution would be to insert a cross-reference which
somehow reproduces the original equation.  Anyone know of a package
that does this?

Thanks!

-Ben

Songbook is a LaTeX package, and so it belongs in your LaTeX tree. On
Mac, that would be at:

~/Library/texmf/tex/latex

(You can use the Finder to put it there.)

 I downloaded Songbook_lyx, unpacked it, and also put it in the same  folder.

LyX's layout files need to be in the layout folder of your LyX user's
directory. That would be (on Mac):

~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/layouts

Put it there, then reconfigure and restart LyX. That should solve your problems.

Russian hyphenation doesn't work

[D.Zorig]

Hi all,

By default LyX doesn't hyphenate Russian language documents.
I tried to include
\usepackage[russian]{babel} in the preamble but still doesn't hyphenate.

By google search I found following article.
http://www.ibiblio.org/sergei/Software/tex.html
There it says

As of v3.6h, Babel has a broken support of Russian in X2(T2). In order for
it to work, you should get a replacement from the *X2(T2)* support macro
distribution. There is a rusbabel/ subdirectory there. Replace Russian
support in the original Babel distribution with those files. You might want
to recreate Babel styles from the gound up or generate Russian support
separately and copy .fd, .def, .sty and other appropriate files into a
directory with a working babel.

Does anyone have idea how to get it work?
For now I'm including
\usepackage[mongolian]{babel} in the preamble to hyphenate Russian words but
everything else becomes Mongolian and it is a bit troublesome.

Kind regards,
Zorigtkhuu Davaanyam

Not really (I do not use XeTeX myself).

Anyway, for LyX 1.6, you need to set up LyX for the use of XeTeX. A HowTo is 
here:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX

Don't hesitae to ask here on the list if things remain unclear.

As Richard wrote, LyX 2.0 will have some more native XeTeX support. There, 
your work reduces to click a "use XeTeX" checkbox in Document>Settings. But I 
would not recomment LyX 2.0svn yet for serious work.

I thought that the default for memoir was to look like book.cls.

Memoir is highly configurable and provided with a number of predefined

The reason that I personally never used Memoir again are:

1) Conflict with hyperref package -- must use \usepackage{memhfixc} and 
\usepackage{mempatch}

2) Because it's not one of the most used document classes, there's more chance 
of a distribution including the wrong memoir document class. See this:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg66880.html

3) It's hard to be an expert at several document classes, so I've put all my 
effort toward becoming an expert on the Book document class. When it doesn't 
give me something I need, I can either find a package to yield the desired 
functionality, or I can code it myself using LaTeX.

Lyx for Posters; Unavailable classes

[Ehud Kaplan]

I am trying to use Lyx 1.6.2 to create a poster under Linux.
Lyx shows  sciposter.cls  in the list of document classes 
(Tools/Tex-information),
but when I go to Document/Settings/Document class I cannot find it.  In 
fact, many other classes that

are on my system are also listed as Unavailable.
I re-ran Texhash from the konsole and Reconfigured Lyx, but it did not 
solve the problem.

What am I missing?

One and half line spacing

"\onehalfspacing" in LyX differ from word processors like Word or

LyX, Songbird, and Mac OS X

[Liz Cademy]

Hello!

I am brand new to LaTeX and Lyx. I downloaded them specifically to  
create a book of song lyrics for my daughter.


Details:  Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) on a PowerBook G4

I am very familiar with the Mac OS, but not with linux or the  
terminal. If the solution to my problem needs me to work in Terminal,  
please be very, very specific.


I am trying to install Songbird. I am following the instructions on  
this wiki page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Songbook#toc4

I downloaded SongbookRelease 4.0, unpacked it, and put it in my ~/ 
application Support/Lyx  folder.  Though it isn't stated in the wiki,  
this seems like the logical place for the files.


I downloaded Songbook_lyx, unpacked it, and also put it in the same   
folder.


I then opened Lyx and chose the Reconfigure menu item. I got a dialog  
that said Lyx was reconfigured (with no details) and to restart Lyx,  
which I did.


I tried opening the Songbook template in Lyx, I get a "The document  
class songbook could not be found ..." dialog.


I noticed that I have the conditionals.sty file, but not the  
songbook.sty file. The wiki shows a download for the songbook.sty  
file, but when I downloaded it (again, into my applications support/ 
lyx folder), I got the exact same error in Lyx, even after  
reconfiguring.



Help, please!

Repeating a multi-line equation

[Ben M.]

Hi, I'm working on a document that looks like this:

Lots of text
   Multi-line equation #1
More text
   Multi-line equation #2
More text
...
Summary of useful equations:
   Multi-line equation #1
   Multi-line equation #2

Ideally, if I change something, I should only have to change it in one
place.  One approach would be to use math macros.  However, it seems
impossible to insert a multi-line AMS environment inside a math macro.

Probably a better solution would be to insert a cross-reference which
somehow reproduces the original equation.  Anyone know of a package
that does this?

Thanks!

-Ben

Songbook is a LaTeX package, and so it belongs in your LaTeX tree. On
Mac, that would be at:

~/Library/texmf/tex/latex

(You can use the Finder to put it there.)

LyX's layout files need to be in the layout folder of your LyX user's
directory. That would be (on Mac):

~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/layouts

Put it there, then reconfigure and restart LyX. That should solve your problems.

Russian hyphenation doesn't work

[D.Zorig]

Hi all,

By default LyX doesn't hyphenate Russian language documents.
I tried to include
\usepackage[russian]{babel} in the preamble but still doesn't hyphenate.

By google search I found following article.
http://www.ibiblio.org/sergei/Software/tex.html
There it says

As of v3.6h, Babel has a broken support of Russian in X2(T2). In order for
it to work, you should get a replacement from the *X2(T2)* support macro
distribution. There is a rusbabel/ subdirectory there. Replace Russian
support in the original Babel distribution with those files. You might want
to recreate Babel styles from the gound up or generate Russian support
separately and copy .fd, .def, .sty and other appropriate files into a
directory with a working babel.

Does anyone have idea how to get it work?
For now I'm including
\usepackage[mongolian]{babel} in the preamble to hyphenate Russian words but
everything else becomes Mongolian and it is a bit troublesome.

Kind regards,
Zorigtkhuu Davaanyam
