Re: Turning-off a command from a layout file?
When I do this: DefaultModule theorems-ams NoStyle Problem Style Problem LatexType command LatexName problem LabelString "Problem:" LatexType Environment OptionalArgs 1 End The Theorems AMS module overwrite my Problem style in the dropdown styles menu. When trying to compile, it says "LaTeX Error: Command \problem already defined". I tried changing the order: NoStyle Problem DefaultModule theorems-ams Style Problem ... End with the same result. I am attaching my layout file if someone want to see it.

Re: Move cursor to next subsection/section/chapter ?
On 09/07/2013 07:02 PM, Scott Kostyshak wrote: Are there LFUNs that deal with moving the cursor to the next subsection/section/chapter? There are LFUNs for moving groups (LFUN_OUTLINE_DOWN, LFUN_PARAGRAPH_MOVE_DOWN) and selecting groups (LFUN_SECTION_SELECT) but I would often like to navigate among them without opening the outline and clicking. The only thing I see is LFUN_PARAGRAPH_GOTO, which is what the outline does when you click on an item. But it doesn't seem fit for higher-level use. Right now I am thinking that a nice LFUN would be LFUN_LAYOUT_NEXT. If your cursor is positioned in a subsection, it will move your cursor to the beginning of the next subsection. If it is positioned in a section, it will move it to the beginning of the next section. (and same for "Frame", "Theorem", or any other layout). This sounds like a great idea! rh

Integration symbol
Dear all, I am working on a Lyx document under Windows, using a full installation of MikTeX 2.9 (by full I mean all available packages under their repository). I included an equation with a simple integral symbol which seems to be rejected by MikTeX. The following errors are being generated: ! Font U/esint/m/n/10.95=esint10 at 10.95pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. ! Font U/esint/m/n/8=esint10 at 8.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found ! Font U/esint/m/n/6=esint10 at 6.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found ! \textfont 9 is undefined (character ). Somewhere in the math formula just ended, you used the stated character from an undefined font family. For example, plain TeX doesn't allow \it or \sl in subscripts. Proceed, and I'll try to forget that I needed that character. - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com

Re: Turning-off a command from a layout file?
I tried both, changing where I was putting the NoStyle command and trying to overwrite the setting of the existing style without success. When I try the latter, it looks like the theorems-ams module dominates all that I put in my layout file. No matter if I change the Style settings, or if try to delete it overwrite it with my own Problem style, Lyx deletes my problem style and replaces it with the theorems-ams' problem style. Maybe there is another file that Lyx is calling that overwrites any change I try to make. CB On Sat, Sep 7, 2013 at 4:43 PM, Paul A.

Problem with framed box
I'm making a book in which I want some sections of the text in framed boxes. When I do this the frame is too big and extends beyond the margin of the page. Is there any way to make the box smaller (to fit the selected text)? I can't find anything relevant in the manuals or Google. -- Anthony Campbell - a...@acampbell.org.uk http://www.acupuncturecourse.org.uk http://www.smashwords.com/profile.view/acampbell https://itunes.apple.com/ca/artist/anthony-campbell/id73235412
