Re: Creating a .layout file with two command arguments

Mael,
Thanks for the suggestion. The logic made sense, but your suggestion did
not work. LyX generated an extra line between the commands in the tex file.
This is now possible by using character styles (available in LyX
1.4.0pre3). The following layout sample won't produce any extra line
between the two commands:
CharStyle Author
MarginStatic
LatexType Command
InTitle 1
LatexName AddAuthor
End
CharStyle Affiliation
MarginStatic
LatexType Command
InTitle 1
LatexName donothing
Preamble
\newcommand{\donothing}[1]{#1}
EndPreamble
End
Note: I don't know if InTitle works with character styles -- you'll
have to test it...
In order to use these character styles, make a new paragraph (Standard),
go to InsertCharacter styleAuthor, type in the author name, put the
cursor at the right of the author name (out of the Author character
style) and then go to InsertCharacter styleAffiliation, and type in
the author's affiliation. You'll then have the following displayed into
LyX window:
Mael IFTS
|___||_|
AuthorAffiliation
Compile your document. That's it! LyX then actually generates the right
LaTeX code: \AddAuthor{Mael}\donothing{IFTS}
This workaround can be used to manage LaTeX macros with any number of
arguments. It also has the advantage of allowing the user to combine
commands with environments, which may be useful for example in order to
manage packages such as acronym.sty.

Mael.

Re: Creating a .layout file with two command arguments
Thanks for the suggestion. The logic made sense, but your suggestion did not work. LyX generated an extra line between the commands in the tex file. Sorry, no more idea then... Perhaps some tex or latex trick may do the job (eating spaces). How can I get the Date environment to display Copyright: 2006 in LyX? The final output is correct so this display is a nicety rather than a necessity. Here is my attempt: # Copyright Style Date MarginStatic LatexTypeCommand InTitle1 LatexNameSAECopyright ParSkip0.4 ItemSep0 TopSep0 BottomSep1 ParSep1 Alignleft AlignPossible left LabelTypeStatic LabelStringCopyright: Just add here: LeftMargin And then the result should look better... # standard font definition Font FamilySans Seriesmedium Sizetiny EndFont End Mael. -- Mael Hilléreau

Creating a .layout file with two command arguments
Group,
I'm trying to make a .layout file for sae.cls. I have everything working
except the authors. In the sae class, the authors are added using the
command:
\AddAuthor{Author name}{Affiliation}
If I try:
Style Author
MarginStatic
LatexTypeCommand
InTitle1
LatexNameAddAuthor
End
in the LyX .layout file, an error is given. I cannot figure out a way to
include two two values for one command in LyX. My alternative right now
is to use \AddAuthor in the document preamble, which seems to work fine.
Any help is much appreciated.
Jeremy
Re: Creating a .layout file with two command arguments
in the LyX .layout file, an error is given. I cannot figure out a way to
include two two values for one command in LyX.
This is not possible in a dynamic way (i.e. you only can specify one
parameter into LyX window). Perhaps, a workaround could consist in using
two layout styles as the folowing (not tested):
Style Author
MarginStatic
LatexTypeCommand
InTitle1
LatexNameAddAuthor
End
Style Affiliation
MarginStatic
LatexTypeCommand
InTitle1
LatexNamedonothing
Preamble
\newcommand{\donothing}[1]{{#1}}
EndPreamble
End
... which would generate the following LaTeX code:
\AddAuthor{Author name}\donothing{Affiliation}
Hope that this will help...
