frontmatter placement

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

   
Hi,
 
in a koma script book I start with
 
book cover page (inserted with PDFPage)
frontmatter (in ERT)
Titleetc

*The pdflatex output 
gives me a first empty page with page number 1
cover page
Title with no page number 
upper/lower titleback with no page number 
dedication with no page number 
empty page with no page number 
table of contents with page number V
and the following pages of list of figures, tables to page number XI
Afterward with the Introduction it starts with 1 - 

*If I place the frontmatter ERT before the book cover page (inserted with 
PDFPage) I also get an empty page  with page number 1

*If I place the frontmatter ERT before the table of contents I still get an 
empty page  with page number 1 before the book cover page and the roman 
numbering starts at the table of contents with page number I
(which is probably the way to do it, is it? FIRST QUESTION)


So the SECOND QUESTION is why I get an empty page  with arabic page number 
1 before the cover page. I guess it has to do with the book cover page 
inserted with PDFPage. I can live with it, but just for curiosity...

captionbeside figure

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Hello,

since captionbeside for a figure is not (yet?) implemented in LyX, I tried 
it with ERT

...text (figure [cap:kalbluezo-sw]) ...
this is in Lyx cross reference cap:kalbluezo-sw
(maybe I have to use here also ERT, but I don't know how)

in ERT:
\begin{figure}
begin{captionbeside}[short legend]{long legend}
\end{captionbeside}
\label{cap:kalbluezo-sw}
\end{figure}

gives:
! LaTeX Error: \begin{figure} on input line 373 ended by \end{lrbox}.

I am using Koma book style 

Has somebody a working example for me, which I could try?

Hello,

I've been using LyX for a while for mathematical documents. But now I'm
writing a long document which explains a plan (a design of a software
system), and in the process I'd like to mark important decisions.

Much like mathematical documents mark theorems in bold Theorem 5: x + y
 z I'd like to mark decisions with the word Decision and an
auto-generated numbering of them. And then, be able to see a list of all
decisions, both in the LyX interface and preferably also in the exported
document.

Is it possible? How do I do that?


I'm not sure about how to get a list of Decisions in the exported 
document, and I don't think you will be able to get a list in the LyX 
document. But getting the Decision environment is easy. Just look in the 
file theorems.inc, which is installed with LyX, and copy out the Theorem 
style. You can use it to create a module, or else copy it into Document 
Settings Local Layout. Just don't forget the Format tag:

Format 35
Then put the modified version of the Theorem style.

It is possible to get a TOC for these things. Google latex theorems 
toc for some help.

PDFpage is treated by TeX similar to an image. \frontmatter cannot handle this. The best is to 
create your front page directly with KOMA-script (LyX's thesis template is an example). KOMA comes 
with the document class option titlepage that allows you some special formatting. For more info 
see the KOMA manual.

Problem using R's table package with knitr.

[John Kane]

I was having a look at the tables package in R and tried to run an example in 
LyX. It works fine until I try using the suggestion to use the booktabs() 
command in the knitr statement.  

The code works fine in R.  


I assume that I am in conflict with another latex package in LyX?  Any 
workarounds?  


It's not a serious problem as I don't actually need to use the tables package; 
I was just playing around with tables  trying to understand the syntax and 
decided to try it in LyX.

Re: Problem using R's table package with knitr.

[Yihui Xie]

Did you \usepackage{booktabs} in the preamble? That is what
?tables::booktabs says.

Re: Problem using R's table package with knitr.

[Yihui Xie]

You should not print booktabs() in a chunk with results='asis',
because that will generate invalid LaTeX code in the output. You can
use invisible(booktabs()) or foo - booktabs() to avoid printing.

Or request Duncan (the package author) to return invisible(save) in booktabs().
