Re: last page odd Fedora Core 1 (follow-up)
Subject: Re: last page odd Fedora Core 1 (follow-up) From: Jane McKean [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 21 Jul 2004 17:06:04 -0700 To answer some of my own questions: Two questions - (1) I want to have LyX generate PDFs where the last page is odd (e.g. the back cover in a two-sided document). I'm using \usepackage{pdfpages} to include PDFs for the front and back covers for our compiler manuals, and the content is set up as two-sided. Do I need to add some ERT to make this happen? This is what I did: (I'm using the book layout) I added (in ERT) \newpage \thispagestyle{empty} then in regular type, a protected space (C-space) then in ERT: \clear page This gave me a blank, empty page, so that I can have my PDF back cover end up on an even page (think about how it would print out, for this to make sense). More elegant solutions will be gratefully accepted. What about % redfinition of \cleardoublepage w an empty page [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \hbox{} \thispagestyle{empty} \newpage [EMAIL PROTECTED] % \AtEndDocument{\cleardoublepage} in the preamble ? This insures that all occurrences of \cleardoublepage work alike (empty even pages at chapter changes if needed). Easy to modify to insert some kind of Empty Page mention, sometimes requested in technical reports. -- Jean-Pierre

Re: last page odd Fedora Core 1 (follow-up)
To answer some of my own questions: Two questions - (1) I want to have LyX generate PDFs where the last page is odd (e.g. the back cover in a two-sided document). I'm using \usepackage{pdfpages} to include PDFs for the front and back covers for our compiler manuals, and the content is set up as two-sided. Do I need to add some ERT to make this happen?

More elegant solutions will be gratefully accepted. (2) I want to keep up with our engineering team and move from RedHat 9 to RedHat Fedora Core 2. Are any of you using that? And what packages will I need to install in addition to the LyX 1.3.4? I have gotten one of the engineers to re-build the RPMs for Fedora Core 1. I'll be testing this tomorrow, but I don't expect any snags. Will keep you posted. (Thanks Jose for pointing out it's not Red Hat Fedora Core 1. Good catch.) * I do still have the patched fixes for the change bars for 1.3.4. I'd like to post back to the community. Can someone give me a pointer as to where those should go? I'm promised the patched from previously mentioned engineer in the next day, two at most. I apologize for the delay, but we've been busy putting released out. Soon. Really. This week. And thanks for the pointer Angus. --jane -- Jane McKean Technical Documentation PathScale, Inc.
