Hi,


I am trying to create a slide with text and graphics side by side:

three itemized lines on the left, and a small figure on the right.

I've tried \twocolumn{text}{\includegraphics{}}

and also tried floats, but the graphics doesn't show properly.

Any advice?


Best,

Eran

Re: Index entries: only the first instane appears.

2006-08-31 Thread mail.k

I can send a truncated version in private. Is this ok?

Just to clarify, do I have to mark every instance of the same index 
entry myself for it to appear in the index? Is it not enough to mark 
every term once?

Index entries: only the first instane appears.

2006-08-30 Thread mail.k
I've marked some words or phrases in my text as index entries and 
added the index at the end of the document. But if an indexed term 
appears, say, on pages 3, 26, and 154, the index will list only the 
first instance, i.e., page 3.



I'm using 1.4.2-1, Miktex 2.5, Memoir.


Any advice is appreciated!

Thank you, Helge,

I finally cracked it. I had to put the .ins and .dtx files in the same

1. latex microtype.ins
2. latex microtype.dtx
That produced the components of the package, which I then manually 
sorted into their proper directories


I hope this helps others in the future.

Adding A Type1 Font Family

2006-07-26 Thread mail.k
I've had good, quick results using both the provided latinmacro and 
writing my own -drv.tex files.
If you have the font properly encoded from bitstream, adobe, or 
linotype, it should be relatively painless to follow the guide from P.L.


If I recall, this typeface has a roman only -- no italic, bold or SC?

Begin by assembling the necessary .sty and .etx files in one directory. 
You could copy the first few lines from the installation guide 
documentation. Process the .tex file, then create the .tfm files and the 
map, and disseminate the files in their proper directories. If you plan 
ahead, it's really not bad.



Best regards,

I hope Lyx can deliver.
I need the contact details and other information to appear in the left

going down the length of the paper.


Is it feasible?

replacing with a protected blank

2006-02-22 Thread mail.k

I have a legal document that I converted from ooo (.odt) to .lyx

It has a lot of periods that must be followed by protected blank, for 
example:



The /Dancing Goats Act/, S.O., 1997, c. D.12, ss. 30--31.


Here, c. and ss. must have a Ctrl+space after them.

How do I search and replace? Do you use the lyx environment, or start a 
text editor and do it there?




Also, unrelated (I might need to start a separate thread, I know...)

How can I use a separate font for my footnotes, say I want to use Sabon

That's useful advice, thanks!

Do you know where I should look to implement this trick for nonstandard 
fonts?


For example, to use a Linotype font with Walter Schmidt's package, that 
has two versions:  l__x l__j?



Many thanks,

E.

use
  \usepackage{mathpazo}
(or even better \usepackage[sc]{mathpazo} if your latex is new enough) 
for better math support (and better \textsc output).

Footnotes à la Bringhurst - how?

2006-01-22 Thread mail.k

Friends,


I'd like the footnotes to a long document (about 900 footnotes)
in the style recommended by Bringhurst,
that is, the footnote text flush left, and
the footnote number in normal figures (not superscript) and outdented.
Does anybody know how?



Many thanks,

oldstyle figures

2006-01-09 Thread mail.k

Hello!


I'd like to use old-style figures in my text (including quotations, etc.)

but I don't think they're appropriate for headings (see Bringhurst)

and for my footnotes. I'd like a way to:


1. set the default to (myfont)j and define footnotes and headings to use 
(myfont)x



or


2. set the default to (myfont)j and define standard and quotations to 
use (myfont)x.



Any ideas?

Re: Typeface for Insert URL

I guess what I want is \url or \nolinkurl, since I need the text to

But no matter which option I used, I still got a different font from the 
default font (Sabon typeface).


I am using memoir class with \usepackage{memhfixc).


Any ideas?

   /Insert URL/ does a fine job of typesetting the link,

   The problem LyX's hardcoding of the typeface:

\IfFileExists{url.sty}{\usepackage{url}}
  {\newcommand{\url}{\texttt}}

   see bug 1520
   http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520

 


   To get the right typeface use the command \href (this requires the

   I attached an example.

Re: quote size

about point size?

Well, to control the font size of body text, follow the suggestion
advanced by Kevin. To control the font size of quotes, select the
whole quote and then

Re: different line spacing for text and quotes

2006-01-03 Thread mail.k

Thanks, Paul.

I do have lots of quotes and I'd like to use a consistent style throughout.
I've come across the  setspace.sty package, and also this:


\makeatletter


\renewenvironment{quote}
  {\begin{spacing}{1}\list{}{\rightmargin\leftmargin}%
  \item\relax}
  {\endlist\end{spacing}\noindent\hspace{-0.333em}}
\makeatother

but being a newbie, I don't understand which one should be used in what 
circumstances. To clarify, I need all the text to be 1.5 spaced, except 
for the quotes (and footnotes), which should be single spaced (and with 
a smaller font).
