Magin note color and font in the whole document

[David Múgica]

It´s easy change the color and font in a marginnote, but i can´t in the whole

¿And the family and sizes font?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Rob and list

After posting the same message on the Latex Community forum I was informed 
of a relatively new tool called datatool which appears to solve the problem.


Unofrtunately I can't seem to get this package to work in Lyx.


Has anybody had any experience with datatool and Lyx

Any help would really be appreciated

Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,

Yes, you can automatically insert page breaks into a long table.  This is
done through the use of the longtable package.  There is a good overview 
on

how to use longtable in the LyX user manual.  Longtable has a few nice
features, such as the ability to automatically add a  header to the table 
on

every page.

I am not, aware of a way to automatically split a given table into two
sections, however.  Perhaps others on the list might be able to provide
additional recommendations?

Cheers,

Rob Oakes

Dear list

As very much a Lyx/Latex newbie, I hope that this is not too difficult a
problem to be resolved.

I produce a multi-col table of data in R and at the moment I reconfigure 
the

table in Excel so that I can copy/paste it into a report in Word.

I have managed to get the Sweave/Lyx link in MS Windows working but my
problem is the follows.

From the R code the table looks like this - up to 80 rows or more and 5 
col


lab_id A B ZBW ZWI
4er66 3.60 3.30 3.26 6.49
4gcyi 2.96 2.91 0.47 1.10

v44h6 2.72 2.73 -0.66 -0.29
wa5hh # # N/A N/A

Since this does not fit on a single A4 page (portrait), I then manually
split the table in half and it looks like this

lab_id A B ZBW ZWI lab_id A B ZBW

My question is there way a that Lyx/Latex can do this without my manual
intervention.

I hope that the post is clear enough, but if there are any questions 
please

shout

Komascript book headers question

[Richard Brown]

Hello again.

Is it possible to edit the contents of \leftmark so that they contain
the chapter name but not the chapter number, and of \rightmark so that
the inverse is true?

Or would there be a better solution to my issue, which is how to print
(in the header on my Komascript bnook class doc) Chapter 6 on left pages
and  Name of the chapter on right pages.

As always, TIA

in Koma script book: how to put pages before the title page

[Richard Brown]

I don't seem to be able to do this. If I put a \frontmatter command in
before my title, anything longer than five words produces a compile
error. What am I missing?

TIA

Hi,
I happen to use margin notes like that too. My approach is the following 
(colors are a matter of taste, of course...):

\usepackage{setspace}
\let\margin\marginpar
\newcommand\myMargin[1]{\margin{\raggedright\textcolor{red}{\scriptsize 
\onehalfspacing #1 \singlespacing}}}
\renewcommand{\marginpar}[1]{\myMargin{#1}}

This has to be entered in LaTeX Preamble under Documents  Settings...
You may still need to load 
\usepackage{color}
if LyX doesn't do it automatically.
The \scriptsize command could be replaced by \footnotesize or \tiny. The 
setspace package allows you to make the margin note line spacing denser with 
\onehalfspacing, followed by \singlespacing (otherwise you get small font with 
unnaturally large line spacing).

Cheers,
Jens

You can control the headings by using package fancyhdr.
You need to set your heading style to fancy (DocumentsSettingsPage
Layout -- change heading style to fancy).
the commands then should be defined in LateX preamble. Perhaps you
need to read fancyhdr manual.

You can try one line before your title. Type \frontmatter in red box

Re: question about family fonts

[Marcelo Acuña]

   If I choose Times Roman for roman font,
 what font I must to choose for sans serif font If I
 want to obtain an aesthetically coherent aspect?
 ...
 
 There is no definitive answer to this question, as there is
 no Times Sans. It depends on what you are after.
 
 The most used choice is a downscaled Helvetica. Although
 not necessarily
 aesthetically pleasing, it will go almost unnoticed (like
 Times for serif) because this is what people expect.
 
  I am using two columns in the book, therefore I am
 interested exactly
  in that: glyphs thinner with less space between.
 
 OK. 
 The next thing to consider is, whether the sans serif
 should match
 or stand out. In the first case, a semi-serif (like
 Ivona) might be
 advisable, in the latter a contrasting shape with maybe
 even different
 grey value like Avant Gard (or the TeX Gyre variant
 Adventor).
 

Thanks Guenter, but, lamentably for me, to include fonts to the Lyx is an 
unattainable art.

Difference between New Page and Page Break

Thanks for the reply, Waluyo. I had managed to do this: but I am unable
to put more than one line before the title without getting a compile
error (No title found).

what I can't do, is to put several (in fact 5) pages before my title-
which is a requirement I have. Some of these pages are blank, and some
contain things like cataloguing, keywords and copyright information that
I am required to put there. However- and this is my problem- all must be
contained in the page count, and all must come before the title page.

With scrpage2 I could do what I need relatively easily if I knew how to 
edit the contents of \leftmark.

Komascript book headers question

[Richard Brown]

Hello again.

Is it possible to edit the contents of \leftmark so that they contain
the chapter name but not the chapter number, and of \rightmark so that
the inverse is true?

Or would there be a better solution to my issue, which is how to print
(in the header on my Komascript bnook class doc) Chapter 6 on left pages
and  Name of the chapter on right pages.

As always, TIA

Richard

in Koma script book: how to put pages before the title page

[Richard Brown]

I don't seem to be able to do this. If I put a \frontmatter command in
before my title, anything longer than five words produces a compile
error. What am I missing?

TIA

Re: Magin note color and font in the whole document

Hi,
I happen to use margin notes like that too. My approach is the following 
(colors are a matter of taste, of course...):

\usepackage{setspace}
\let\margin\marginpar
\newcommand\myMargin[1]{\margin{\raggedright\textcolor{red}{\scriptsize 
\onehalfspacing #1 \singlespacing}}}
\renewcommand{\marginpar}[1]{\myMargin{#1}}

This has to be entered in "LaTeX Preamble" under "Documents > Settings..."
You may still need to load 
\usepackage{color}
if LyX doesn't do it automatically.
The \scriptsize command could be replaced by \footnotesize or \tiny. The 
setspace package allows you to make the margin note line spacing denser with 
\onehalfspacing, followed by \singlespacing (otherwise you get small font with 
unnaturally large line spacing).

Cheers,
Jens

You can control the headings by using package fancyhdr.
You need to set your heading style to "fancy" (Documents>Settings>Page
Layout -- change heading style to "fancy").
the commands then should be defined in LateX preamble. Perhaps you
need to read fancyhdr manual.

You can try one line before your title. Type \frontmatter in red box
[Enter] then your title in Title environment.

Thanks Guenter, but, lamentably for me, to include fonts to the Lyx is an 
unattainable art.

Difference between "New Page" and "Page Break"

[Steven Bell]

What is the difference between "New Page" (\newpage{}) and a "Page Break"
(\pagebreak{})?  They seem to be the same - is there any reason I would use
one over the other?
Thanks,
Steven

Thanks for the reply, Waluyo. I had managed to do this: but I am unable
to put more than one line before the title without getting a compile
error (No title found).

what I can't do, is to put several (in fact 5) pages before my title-
which is a requirement I have. Some of these pages are blank, and some
contain things like cataloguing, keywords and copyright information that
I am required to put there. However- and this is my problem- all must be
contained in the page count, and all must come before the title page.

Thanks: however, I have been trying to use scrpage2 since the komascript 
documentation says that it has a greater compatibility (with komascript) 
than fancyhdr. 

With scrpage2 I could do what I need relatively easily if I knew how to 
edit the contents of \leftmark.
