Re: Uses for LyX

[Jack T. Gill]

Thanks to Rich and others for their comments.

I'm a chemist and am currently interim chair of a chemistry department at a
medium-sized, state supported university.  LyX intrigues me as it seems to
offer the potential of enabling us to assist our students in writing their
theses and dissertations.  It's difficult enough to write the content of an
acceptable thesis or dissertation in chemistry, and having the additional
challenges of formatting offloaded would be a great help to all.  If we had
a document class that meets the university's formatting requirements, then
both the students and the students' graduate faculty committees would be
relieved of the continual format editing that inevitably falls to them.  

However I doubt if any students or faculty would avail themselves of LyX if
they were faced with the requirement that they learn LaTex programming.
When the additional learning curve for incorporating chemical structures is
added to the mix, the prospects of convincing them to use LyX dims even
further.

I've searched for dissertation classes (Google, etc.), and have found a few,
but those I found are either very old (in computer years) or are not
appropriate for chemistry and/or our university's formatting requirements.
All would require tweaking.

I dread the possibility of having to write a document class for Lyx, as I am
new to it all.  However that may be the only way to get the LyX tool in the
hands of our students.

Are there any chemists on the list that use LyX for theses, dissertations,
or with American Chemical Society styles?

 Does anyone use LyX right out of the box (or download) without all the 
 tweaking?  If so, to what use are you putting it?

Jack,

   You're reading too much into what you see. For the really easy stuff no
one writes to ask for help. It's only when you don't know how to do
something (e.g., remove the date from the title page; place a special
character, have multiple equations with one number and caption, put multiple
figures or tables in the same float).

   On the other hand, I'll bet you don't use winWord or OO.o out of the
box, either. Never used Word (yea, team!) but have used OO.o since
WordPerfect bit the dust about 5 years ago. In OO.o one must set the page
size (unless A4 is your default), specify font style, size, margins and so
on for your defaults. If you want templates then you need to create those,
too. Nothing works for everyone as built.

   What sort of writing do you do? Have you produced documents using the
article, report and/or book classes? If so, do they meet your needs? If the
defaults (and you still need to configure LyX when you carefully take it out
of the box) are acceptable, then use it and ignore the traffic here. When
you want to do more, or customize the output to fit a specific need (e.g., a
thesis/dissertation template, journal template, whatever) and you need help,
just write and someone(s) will respond to you.

   This is, without doubt, one of the most useful mail lists to which I
subscribe. I learn as much by reading how others' problems are resolved as I
do when my problems are resolved. Also, if you're serious about using LyX
buy yourself a copy of The LaTeX Companion, Second Edition (TLC2). Not
only is it a complete reference but it will show you what you can do to make
the output match your design.

   Once things are set up, just write. The formatting, typesetting and other
heavy lifting is done for you.

HTH,

Rich

   I think the designers of the various classes used standard or common
designs. However, if something like this is important to you, then by all
means make the changes. :-) The memoir class will give you more options and
abilities for tweaking.

   One of the strengths of LyX (also LaTeX and TeX) is that professional
typographers and page layout designers do all the heavy thinking. I just
pick a document type and concentrate on the content rather than the
appearance. I'll change Abstract to Executive Summary when warranted,
but otherwise I ignore the details.

YMMV,
