I've not tried this myself but you might want to check out pstoedit and edit the result with xfig. According to the docs pstoedit will also produce Latex2e O/P. Tom. -- Tom Crane, Dept.

Layout file for JLTP
Dear All, I am thinking of writing an article for publication in JLTP (Journal of Low Temperature Physics) and was wondering if anybody has produced a .layout file from the jltp.cls (Latex 2e) file supplied by the publisher? If so, would you be prepared to let me have a copy? Thanks. Tom Crane -- Tom Crane, Dept. Physics, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham Hill, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX, England.

\cite in \caption
Dear All, I have encountered the following problem with exported Latex from Lyx 1.0.4. I put a citation reference inside a table caption. A manual fix is to edit the Latex O/P and prefix the \cite with a \protect. Does anybody know if this has been fixed in the latest version of Lyx? Regards Tom. -- Tom Crane, Dept.

Revtex and wide abstract
Dear All,
I am attempting to write a paper in Lyx (v.1.0.4) using Revtex
(not Revtex4, in compatibility mode) but I cannot get wide abstracts to
work with two column format. I have put a complete example downloaded from
APS' eprint server which compiles and renders correctly with Latex but
will not import in Lyx, on ftp://www.mklab.rhbnc.ac.uk/pub/tom/eprint.zip.
Import fails with,
reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator. Revision date 1999/05/02

Exited due to fatal Error!
Hacking the eprint example's Latex source to remove the \wideabs
surrounding the title,pacs,abstract etc. will allow Lyx to import it but
then of course I'm back with the narrow abstract or single columns.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Tom Crane.

Hi,

I have followed your instructions but I cannot get it to give the O/P I need.
I have attached a demo .lyx file to better illustrate the point. Do you have any
more suggestions?
Thanks again.
Tom.

The main problem with this equation is that the bracket sizes don't match
up.
The justification I could live with.
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula
\begin{eqnarray*}
r(w)= & & z+\exp \left[ -\int ^{b}_{a}\left( 2x-5y\right) \left\{
\frac{2}{5}P_{1}(t)\exp \left( -a\left( u_{y}-u_{x}\right) w\right) +\right. \right. \\
& & 6P_{1}(t)\exp \left( -au_{y}w\right) +\\
& & \left. \left. 3G_{2}(\tau )\exp \left( -a\left( u_{y}+u_{x}\right) w\right)
\right\} dt\right]
\end{eqnarray*}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Following your method (I think!) gives this which is not what I need --
the [{}] need to open on the first line of the matrixed-bit and close on
the 3rd line of the matrixed bit as the above equation does.
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula
\[
r(w)=z+\exp \left[ -\int ^{b}_{a}\left( 2x-5y\right) \left\{ \begin{array}{cc}
& \frac{2}{5}P_{1}(t)\exp \left( -a\left( u_{y}-u_{x}\right) w\right) +\\

Formatting of multiline equations
Dear All,
I am having difficulty formatting & justifying multiline equations
in LyX (1.0.4). I want to spead across, say, 3 lines, an equation
containing at least one nested level of parentheses. eg. Illustrating my
point using the fixed font of this mailer I am trying to get something
like,
f(x) = x*2 (z+3{aterm +
another_term +
a_third term})
I would like to make Latex use a 'largish' round-bracket & brace - as it
would if my equation was all on a single line. How can I do this??
TIA
Tom.

Comment environment
Dear All, I am attempting to use the "comment paragraph environment" in LyX v1.0.3. I cannot find a menu pulldown for this feature. More importantly the M-p S-C key-sequence only gives a "Layout comment not known" error in the minibuffer. My documentclass is "Article (Revtex)". Does anybody know what problem/fix is?
