how to display only the current section in beamer.
Hi, I generally use the template file for beamer presentation. Any suggestions on how to display only the current section and subsection instead of the same highlighted in the TOC ?? Regards, Nikunj.

You have two choices:
- use the LaTeX-package soul and then the TeX-code command \st{your text}
- use the package ulem and then the TeX-code command \sout{your text}
Attached is an example LyX file. It is in German but you will understand
it anyway as you only need to understand the examples in the tables.

Uwe, is there a way to sort-of-blur the cell-contents in a table so they
are not any more readable? Something like when you want to hide away
some results?

lyx 1.6.5 will not open lyx 2 docs
Sorry if this is a duplicate but ... I made the mistake of installing lyx 2 svn and changing a document that I should not have. Now I cannot open that document in 1.6.5 - I just get an error message about lyx2lyx failure: the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it The option to export to lyx-1.6.5 does nothing that I can discern (is it supposed to work?)

I'm not positive what you mean, but if what you want is to have the PDF
file open with the bookmarks tab on the left collapsed, click Document
Settings PDF Properties, turn on hyperref support, and add
pdfpagemode=None under additional options. Alternatively, you can put
\hypersetup{pdfpagemode=None} in the document preamble. (Beamer
automatically loads Hyperref.)

[solved] Re: Problem using old Lyx document
Thank you all for helping. I had to invest much more time than anticipated, but... I now have two pdf files of the old thesis - looking exactly like the printout. One I obtained by putting the disassembled thesis into a copier, which scanned it to a pdf (not very good quality). In a virtual machine I got a Suse 7.3 running - haha, that was fun. I could not find a Suse 7.2-iso. Suse 7.3 had lyx 1.1.6fix2 included that was still to new and made a ps where some page numbers where shifted. Finally I found a binary of Lyx 1.1.5fix2 on the very well maintained lyx.org server (the Lyx 1.1.5fix2 sources gave me make errors). Lyx 1.1.5fix2 writes the same \lyxformat 2.16 and produced a ps file that looks identical to my printout. I'm happy, now.

I would like the pdf to look exactly like the old printout... and therefore all the paper margins have to be the same, don't they? Yes. But in your files no page margins were set. The margins were once created by the a4 package. The bug was that LyX once used such a deprecated package. (a4 was already deprecated when LyX 1.1 was actual.)

Dear LyX users, I have a problem with the definition of the page margins in a LyX document..

Re: Setting page margins..
After many trials with Lyx, a friend and I decided to do it directly
in LaTeX in the preamble:
%
\usepackage{anysize}
% Controla los márgenes {izquierda}{derecha}{arriba}{abajo}.
\marginsize{4.5cm}{3cm}{3cm}{3cm}
I don't have any idea as why Lyx is not precise when margins are
changed. Printed region in an even page should be overlapped with that
of an odd page. We had to do it with the code above. Maybe somebody
has a technical answer on this problem. Until then, you can use this
snippet of code.
best regards.

Re: REVTeX 4.1 layout: alpha
Hi Manolo, Thanks! I will attach the AIP sample (aipsamp.tex) that came with RevTeX 4.1, and my LyX port of that file (aipsamp-lyx.lyx) in a separate email to you (too big for this list). I'll also attach PDFs generated from aipsamp.tex and from aipsamp-lyx.lyx. It would help if you could port the APS sample that comes with revtex to lyx and compare the PDFs or DVIs generated from those. The easy part is in applying the layout. The time-consuming part is in copy-pasting the latex source and converting the tex markup into lyx equivalent. To speed this up see the last appendix that I created in aipsamp-lyx.lyx (how to use lyx with revtex). Latest RevTeX 4.1 can be downloaded from http://authors.aps.org/revtex4/ - they have already fixed a few bugs At present, I am experiencing trouble with the \listofvideos command. LyX properly inserts this command where I want it but my latex doesn't compile and therefore my DVI and PDF are not being generated. Let me know if you happen to see the same. If there is a bug we could file a report. The video environment is a new feature that they have just begun to support. If you have suggestions for improvement those would be welcome.

This list doesn't accept emails over 60kB so I am able to attach only the layout. Should someone be interested in the other files, please contact me directly by email at this address. Thanks, Manoj Rajagopalan
title page using koma script book
Uisng koma script book, and having on my title page only a title, subject and authors, for some reason I get a white page after the title page whereas I need to put the title verso there. I can't see any reason why this is happening: what should I check? TIA Richard

Re: REVTeX 4.1 layout: alpha
At present, I am experiencing trouble with the \listofvideos command. LyX
properly inserts this command where I want it but my latex doesn't compile
and therefore my DVI and PDF are not being generated. Let me know if you
happen to see the same. If there is a bug we could file a report. The video
environment is a new feature that they have just begun to support.
Try in the preamble:
\def\lovname{List of Videos}
This should be considered a bug in revtex 4.1 IMHO. Similar commands are
defined on line no 7088--7089 of revtex4-1.cls but \lovname is missing.

Re: REVTeX 4.1 layout: alpha
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Revtex4-1 says: Mention features from the REVTeX 4.1 documentation that should be tested (and fixed in the layout if broken) before final release of this layout. * New environment: video * \listofvideos seems broken (latex doesn't compile) Nicely done. See my other message about your compilation error. * Using \cite instead of \footnote for footnotes as the REVTeX guide suggests. So far \footnote works but may not be acceptable by journals. Will using the LyX citation inset generate proper latex? I don't see any mention of this in the revtex user's guide. I don't see a problem with this. Revtex produces a .bib file from your footnotes and use the bibtex mechanism. For submission you need to inline the bibitems anyway. * New feature: structured abstracts using the description environment This works (at the level of LyX) out-of-the-box. One can insert description or other list environments and increase their nesting depth (using TAB or the toolbar buttons). * Test newly added support for arXiv.org in BibTeX This should just work. More interesting are these features, which would require changes in the LyX citation dialog (or use of ERT): - Multiple references in a single bibliography entry. - Prepending and/or appending text to a citation. - Online citation \onlinecite (this is not new in revtex 4.1, but maybe now is an opportunity to implement it in LyX) * Port the LaTeX AIP sample to LyX and visually diff the generated PDFs * Port the LaTeX APS sample to LyX and visually diff the generated PDFs This would indeed be a nice accomplishment. -- Julien

I'm not positive what you mean, but if what you want is to have the PDF
file open with the bookmarks tab on the left collapsed, click Document
Settings PDF Properties, turn on hyperref support, and add
pdfpagemode=None under additional options. Alternatively, you can put
\hypersetup{pdfpagemode=None} in the document preamble. (Beamer

[solved] Re: Problem using old Lyx document
Thank you all for helping. I had to invest much more time than anticipated, but... I now have two pdf files of the old thesis - looking exactly like the printout. One I obtained by putting the disassembled thesis into a copier, which scanned it to a pdf (not very good quality). In a virtual machine I got a Suse 7.3 running - haha, that was fun. I could not find a Suse 7.2-iso. Suse 7.3 had lyx 1.1.6fix2 included that was still to new and made a ps where some page numbers where shifted. Finally I found a binary of Lyx 1.1.5fix2 on the very well maintained lyx.org server (the Lyx 1.1.5fix2 sources gave me make errors). Lyx 1.1.5fix2 writes the same \lyxformat 2.16 and produced a ps file that looks identical to my printout. I'm happy, now. Cheers, Michael Uwe Stöhr schrieb: Michael Born schrieb: But, the pdf file I can generate now has a different page number compared to the printout from year 2000. I would like the pdf to look exactly like the old printout... and therefore all the paper margins have to be the same, don't they? Yes. But in your files no page margins were set.

Setting page margins..
Dear LyX users, I have a problem with the definition of the page margins in a LyX document.. In particular, I would like to create a book-style document, where the internal margin is always a bit bigger the the external one so that once I print and bind it, the document will be easily readable. Any clues about how to do it? Thanks in advance!

Choose Document - Settings. Choose Page Margins (in left list). Uncheck Default Margins. Set any as desired. Click Ok or Apply. (Maybe the defaults are good enough already.)
Re: Setting page margins..
After many trials with Lyx, a friend and I decided to do it directly
in LaTeX in the preamble:
%
\usepackage{anysize}
% Controla los márgenes {izquierda}{derecha}{arriba}{abajo}.
\marginsize{4.5cm}{3cm}{3cm}{3cm}
I don't have any idea as why Lyx is not precise when margins are
changed. Printed region in an even page should be overlapped with that
of an odd page. We had to do it with the code above. Maybe somebody
has a technical answer on this problem. Until then, you can use this
snippet of code.
best regards.

Make sure the document is set to Two-sided: DocumentSettingsPage Layout Then try the default (which depend on your Document class), or set them to your liking in DocumentSettingsPage Margins.

Re: REVTeX 4.1 layout: alpha
Hi Manolo, Thanks! I will attach the AIP sample (aipsamp.tex) that came with RevTeX 4.1, and my LyX port of that file (aipsamp-lyx.lyx) in a separate email to you (too big for this list). I'll also attach PDFs generated from aipsamp.tex and from aipsamp-lyx.lyx. It would help if you could port the APS sample that comes with revtex to lyx and compare the PDFs or DVIs generated from those. The easy part is in applying the layout. The time-consuming part is in copy-pasting the latex source and converting the tex markup into lyx equivalent. To speed this up see the last appendix that I created in aipsamp-lyx.lyx (how to use lyx with revtex). Latest RevTeX 4.1 can be downloaded from http://authors.aps.org/revtex4/ - they have already fixed a few bugs At present, I am experiencing trouble with the \listofvideos command. LyX properly inserts this command where I want it but my latex doesn't compile and therefore my DVI and PDF are not being generated. Let me know if you happen to see the same. If there is a bug we could file a report. The video environment is a new feature that they have just begun to support. If you have suggestions for improvement those would be welcome.

It's the opposite: the inner margins of a book is always smaller than the outer ones. I recommend to use the KOMA-script book document class. Then use the document class option BCOR to specify the binding correction your need for your book. The other margins will be calculated automatically depending the on the font and the font size of your document. Therefore use the default margins. This method is also used for the LyX user's guide, so have a look at its document settings as example. regards Uwe
