There are no official installers.

But you can try to use one of the following:

Master / Child---What exactly is inherited?

[Greg Kise]

Hi,

1. What exactly is inherited by Child docs?

For instance, my Master doc is using class Report (KOMA Script) and  
has the text layout set to BigSkip and line spacing to Double. But,  
when I open the child document in the main window (usually via the  
TOC) the text layout of the Child is all set to default (indent  
paragraph, single space). I know that the layout class of the child  
must match the Master but what are the other settings, other than  
Preamble, which are inherited?


(Note: that my Master document compiles properly with BigSkip and  
Double spacing---the problem is that the Child opens in the main  
window without any obvious inheriting of settings.)



2. What properties, other than layout class, need to be set in the  
Child document since they are not inherited?


3. Any other best practices advice for using Master / Child would be  
appreciated.


Thank you very much,

I think that's a combination of two factors.  The first is that the geometry

will cure that.  The other is that you need either to add the breakurl package

Paul,

  I should have looked in TLC2 before writing to the list. For the record,
adding the option [hyphens] to the \usepackage command allows the URL to be

I'm not sure why but LyX 2 adds a bunch of lines to the preamble that 
look like this one:


\addto\captionsbritish{\renewcommand{\SCfigurename}{Figure (side caption)}}

In short, it's trying to redefine the macro \SCfigurename, but this 
macro isn't defined in the first place. I fixed it by defining it in the 
module, with the line


\let\SCfigurename\figurename

Please give it a try.

It doesn't actually have to match, though LyX will complain if it doesn't.

That said: NO other document settings are inherited by the child, so far 
as I know. There have been many, many discussions about this. For a 
sense of the issues, note that it is possible to have two masters open 
that both include the same child.


(Note: that my Master document compiles properly with BigSkip and 
Double spacing---the problem is that the Child opens in the main 
window without any obvious inheriting of settings.)


This is because LyX treats the child as a separate document that just 
happens to be included in some other document, largely for the reasons 
mentioned above.


2. What properties, other than layout class, need to be set in the 
Child document since they are not inherited?


All of them. Not that they HAVE to be set, but e.g. if you want to use a 
module in the master and its children, it needs to be included in the 
children.

i guess that sidecaptions module is not converted to lyx 2 format or something
like this (we do not provide this module officially iirc).

I'm not sure why but LyX 2 adds a bunch of lines to the preamble that 
look like this one:


\addto\captionsbritish{\renewcommand{\SCfigurename}{Figure (side caption)}}

In short, it's trying to redefine the macro \SCfigurename, but this 
macro isn't defined in the first place. I fixed it by defining it in the 
module, with the line


\let\SCfigurename\figurename

Please give it a try.

Re: Master / Child---What exactly is inherited?

Hi,

1. What exactly is inherited by Child docs?

For instance, my Master doc is using class "Report (KOMA Script)" and 
has the text layout set to BigSkip and line spacing to Double. But, 
when I open the child document in the main window (usually via the 
TOC) the text layout of the Child is all set to default (indent 
paragraph, single space). I know that the layout class of the child 
must match the Master but what are the other settings, other than 
Preamble, which are inherited?



It doesn't actually have to match, though LyX will complain if it doesn't.

That said: NO other document settings are inherited by the child, so far 
as I know. There have been many, many discussions about this. For a 
sense of the issues, note that it is possible to have two masters open 
that both include the same child.


(Note: that my Master document compiles properly with BigSkip and 
Double spacing---the problem is that the Child opens in the main 
window without any obvious inheriting of settings.)


This is because LyX treats the child as a separate document that just 
happens to be included in some other document, largely for the reasons 
mentioned above.


2. What properties, other than layout class, need to be set in the 
Child document since they are not inherited?


All of them. Not that they HAVE to be set, but e.g. if you want to use a 
module in the master and its children, it needs to be included in the 
children.
