beamer: xcolo r in part of equations, to \note[item]?

[furutaka]

Hi,

I am preparing a presentation with beamer on LyX 1.6.4 and have a few questions.

1. (How) is it possible to specify xcolor-defined colours for parts of 
equations?

2. (How) can I give overlay specifiers to \note[item]s (NoteItem)?

Thanks in advance,

Kazuyoshi

Re: Page numbers in abstract, section numbering, and TOC modification

I don't know about this one. Presumably, your document class has  
\abstract reset the page numbers. So the solution is likely to look  
in report.cls, find the abstract command, copy it to your preamble,  
change "newcommand" to "renewcommand", and delete whichever bit  
resets the page numbers.


Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for your help!
I'm not very familiar with LaTeX, so I'm probably doing it all wrong,  
but just to record what I did… The following lines found in /usr/local/ 
texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/report.cls


\...@titlepage
  \newenvironment{abstract}{%
  \titlepage
  \null\vfil
  \...@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
  \begin{center}%
\bfseries \abstractname
\...@endparpenalty\@M
  \end{center}}%
 {\par\vfil\null\endtitlepage}
\else
  \newenvironment{abstract}{%
  \...@twocolumn
\section*{\abstractname}%
  \else
\small
\begin{center}%
  {\bfseries \abstractname\vspace{-.5em}\vspace...@}}%
\end{center}%
\quotation
  \fi}
  {...@twocolumn\else\endquotation\fi}
\fi

After some trial and error, I added the first part to the preamble,  
with "\titlepage" removed and "newcommand" replaced by "renewcommand"  
as suggested. This seems to work. Hence, in the preamble:


  \renewenvironment{abstract}{%
  \null\vfil
  \...@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
  \begin{center}%
\bfseries \abstractname
\...@endparpenalty\@M
  \end{center}}%
 {\par\vfil\null\endtitlepage}


2. I have two major Parts in my document. The first Part consists  
of sections (no chapters), with the second Part including  
chapters. I don't want chapters in the first section, for both  
inline effect (e.g. don't want new pages), and Table of Contents  
listing (i.e. don't want bold and no dots. What I _would_ like, if  
possible, if for the sections to be numbered similarly to  
chapters. i.e. 1 instead of 0.1, with the rest of its formatting  
remaining as a section. Is it possible to change the numbering of  
the sections (in the first Part only) without changing anything  
else?



Yes:
\let\oldthesection=\thesection
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
in ERT at the beginning of Part I. Then at Part II:
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\oldthesection}
again in ERT. I think.


This works perfectly!

3. In the second Part, I'd like the chapters in the TOC to be  
listed as "Chapter 1. Foobar" rather than "1 Foobar". i.e. I'd  
like it to be consistent with the inline chapter headings.


Look into the titlesec and titletoc packages. I think one of those  
will do what you want.


Again, I've probably done this totally wrong, but this works. Again,  
for future reference…


Firstly, in the preamble:

\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
\newenvironment{notintoc}
{\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}\ignorespaces}}
{\setcounter{secnumdepth}{2}%
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}\ignorespaces}}

Then, just before the chapter begins, insert "clear page", then ERT  
"\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Chapter 1: Yourtitle}", which adds the  
nicely formatted title to the TOC.
Then ERT "\begin{notintoc}", and the write the chapter heading itself  
(e.g. "Yourtitle"). After the heading, ERT "\end{notintoc}". This part  
suppresses sending of the title to the TOC.


From preliminary testing, this seems to work well, with my headers,  
etc. looking as expected. I don't really know exactly what the  
preamble settings do, but they seem okay. I find the titlesec  
documentation a little opaque.

That is something I know nothing about. Hopefully others can give you

Missing link

[christer von der Burg]

Hello,

I have just downloaded the new Tex 2009 and Lyx 1.6.4.1 on my Mac 10.6.1
Snow Leopard

In the documentation Read Me First.pdf to Lyx it says:

*Further Help
LYX normally requires a working teTEX installation. It can be installed
without teTEX, but it cannot then produce any output. For information on
using LYX/Mac and on installing teTEX, see:
Questions or comments about LYX/Mac can be directed to the LYX Users mailing
list at
lyx-us...@lists.lyx.org. For general information about LYX, see
or
http://w w w.ly x.org/ http://wiki.ly x.org/LyX/LyXOnMac.

*There is no link to any teTex. The space after *see* is empty!

My question: Do I need to download teTex? I wish to use Chinese characters
mixed with roman text. Where do I download from?

Thanks for answers.

Re: Documenting python code using LyX

[Wolfgang Keller]

> Does anybody use LyX to document python code? Any hints?

PyLit already allows to round-trip between Python code with embedded ReST 
comments and ReST documents with embedded Python code blocks. From ReST, you 
can then convert to LaTeX, which should be somewhat importable to LyX.

However, I haven't found a possibility yet to export ReST with embedded Python 
code blocks from Lyx.

Full round-tripping between LyX and Python (or any other programming language) 
code with embedded ReST comments would be pretty close to "The Holy Grail Of 
Literate Programming" imho. *duck*

Sincerely,

Maintaining a translation of a LyX document

[Roland Clobus]

Hello all,

I’m wondering if someone encountered this situation before:
I’ve written a LyX document in language A, and now I want to have the same 
contents/images/layout/etc. in language B.
When something changes In the master document in language A, I would like to 
have minimal work to keep the translation to language B up-to-date.

I’ve looked at po4a (it looks really promising) but it doesn’t have native LyX 
support (yet). I’m well known with working with po-files, that would be the 
method I would prefer.

I could not find this question being asked before on the mailing list, so I 
hope someone has the answer.

With kind regards,
