Page margins
Hi I've been noticed some odd behaviour when the page margins are changed from the class defaults. This has caused me some annoyance with marginal notes. Attached is MWE1.lyx which is a simple document using the class default margins and with the showframe package and its output is MWE1.pdf. MWE2.lyx is identical except that the top margin has been changed. Lyx has inserted \usepackage[a4paper]{geometry} \geometry{verbose,tmargin=5cm} in the preamble. The output MWE2,pdf is not what I had expected as the side margins have changed and the marginal note area is now much nearer the edge. Indeed if say the outer margin is changed in Document Settings then the marginal area can almost disappear altogether. I solved this to some extent as in MWE3.lyx where I stopped Lyx inserting the geometry pack by setting local layout, and then put \usepackage[a4paper,includemp]{geometry} \geometry{verbose,tmargin=5cm} in the preamble. I.e. the same as Lyx did but with an extra option. The output MWE3.pdf is better but still not just a change to the header margin. The includemp could have been includeall with a slight difference to the output. So, should Lyx automatically include this option in the usepackage call or is there a much neater way to do what I want, i.e. change the header margin without changing anything else.

Page margins
Hi I've been noticed some odd behaviour when the page margins are changed from the class defaults. This has caused me some annoyance with marginal notes. Attached is MWE1.lyx which is a simple document using the class default margins and with the showframe package and its output is MWE1.pdf. MWE2.lyx is identical except that the top margin has been changed. Lyx has inserted \usepackage[a4paper]{geometry} \geometry{verbose,tmargin=5cm} in the preamble. The output MWE2,pdf is not what I had expected as the side margins have changed and the marginal note area is now much nearer the edge. Indeed if say the outer margin is changed in Document Settings then the marginal area can almost disappear altogether. I solved this to some extent as in MWE3.lyx where I stopped Lyx inserting the geometry pack by setting local layout, and then put \usepackage[a4paper,includemp]{geometry} \geometry{verbose,tmargin=5cm} in the preamble.

page of floats margins
Dear all, I'm writing a document in which I'd like to keep default page margins but for the page of floats. I have some floats with very wide tables that do not get properly centered using default page margins. So is it possible to set custom page margins for the page of floats? And can I make certain page of floats use landscape mode?

Re: Margins in the beginning of the chapter
I've written a documment, using the book Koma-Script class. I need to put some specific margins in my document, so I indicated the space in this option for that in my document. But my problem is that when each chapter begins (also in the index), lyx puts the name of this chapter with too muchtop margin, and not the same that I've put and that is in the page where no chapter begins. I need to change this margin, in the index as well as in the beginning of the each chapter in my document. If anyone can help me, I would really be grateful.

But my problem is that when each chapter begins (also in the index), lyx puts the name of this chapter with too much top margin, and not the same that I've put and that is in the page where no chapter begins. I need to change this margin, in the index as well as in the beginning of the each chapter in my document. If anyone can help me, I would really be grateful. By the way, I'm from Spain, is there any mailing list similar to this in Spanish? Thank you.

TOC trouble and margins are not followed
Hi all, I'm trying to typeset my novel, that I want to publish soon. I have started using lyx because it hides most of the technical stuff, so I can concentrate on the writing. But I'm having quite some trouble to get things looking right, things I thought were handled automatically. First of all, my TOC remains empty. As I understood, I just had to do 'Insert - list/TOC - Table of contents. I do use the correct paragraph types, Part, Chapter, section, subsection etc... so I thought the TOC would be generated automatically when viewing the pdf, but it does not. Secondly, a novel is rarely printed on A4, and the company I'd like to ask to print my book gives a discount on printing on A5 (printing on demand service) so I thought changing the document setting page size from A4 to A5. This obviously has a big influence on the flow of the text. My language is Dutch, and hyphenation is horrible. I do have texlive-lang-dutch installed. Also, words that can be split sometimes are not, which results in many, many overfull \hbox (from LaTeX Log). The margins are not followed. What can I do about these problems? I'm using Linux Mint11, if that extra information can help. grtz, Bart http://www.bartart3d.be/

Re: Re: TOC trouble and margins are not followed
Thanks for the answer, I fixed the TOC trouble with latex command \addcontentsline, that seems to work. I thought that was not necessary in lyx, perhaps I'm wrong.

Re: TOC trouble and margins are not followed
Writing a book, I decided to use the book class. There are several book classes, but when adding a table of contents, suddenly all pages had 'Table of contents' in their header (I still don't understand why). The book class was the only one working properly, I thought at least. Why is it so hard to get good typesetting, automatic table of contents rendering, and plenty of other stuff? I yet have to find one tool that does the job properly without hassle, adding things, modifying things, looking for workarounds. There is always something going wrong. I don't want to code my book, I want to write it. Don't get me wrong, latex and lyx do a terrific job, but as with many open source tools there is always something extra that has to be done to get the job done right.

Re: Re: TOC trouble and margins are not followed
Aparently the latex log file shows this : Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for (babel) the language `Dutch' (babel) I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead. I've searched with google, and I've found out some had to un-comment a line saying 'dutch nehyph.tex' . I even did not find those words, but I did find 'dutch loadhyph-nl.tex and it already is un-commented. When changed to hehyph.tex latex still throws the warning as shown above. grtz, Bart Weird, something I'm missing? Did the naming of hyphenation files change?

Re: TOC trouble and margins are not followed
Richard, thanks for your offer to send you the lyx file, but at the moment it's not necessary. I think I got the hyphenation working, even though I don't know what I did. Yesterday evening, last pdf preview it showed the error in the log, now my pc is rebooted this morning, I take a look again, and hyphenation works as expected. Perhaps I did something right, but it needed to be reconfigured on a reboot. No idea why though. and about the Section* yes, I use these. Ahh, I get it, I should not have used the unnumbered sections!! What the hell? Now that is what I call thinking the wrong way about usability. It's like with that date thing. Adding the authors name to the title automatically adds todays date to it. You have to find a menu, somewhere and check 'suppress default date on front page', instead of just inserting 'date' to your page if you'd want it. So for an automatic TOC, numbered sections are a requirement. That's quite a useless restriction. If I didn't wan't a TOC I wouldn't insert one. And I guess I'll have to add latex code to get rid of the numbering now, right? grtz, Bart http://www.bartart3d.be/ 2011/8/5 Richard Heck rgh...@comcast.net On 08/05/2011 03:52 PM, bart deruyter wrote: Writing a book, I decided to use the book class.

Re: Re: TOC trouble and margins are not followed
Thanks for the answer, I fixed the TOC trouble with latex command \addcontentsline, that seems to work. I thought that was not necessary in lyx, perhaps I'm wrong. Setting the font at 10 makes a difference indeed, but it still is not good at all. Can I easily edit the dutch hyphenation file? Perhaps my edits could be used as 'update' for others to use too. grtz, Bart Op schreef Richard Heck rgh...@comcast.net: On 08/05/2011 09:29 AM, bart deruyter wrote: Hi all, I'm trying to typeset my novel, that I want to publish soon.

Re: TOC trouble and margins are not followed
Writing a book, I decided to use the book class. There are several book classes, but when adding a table of contents, suddenly all pages had 'Table of contents' in their header (I still don't understand why). The book class was the only one working properly, I thought at least. Why is it so hard to get good typesetting, automatic table of contents rendering, and plenty of other stuff? I yet have to find one tool that does the job properly without hassle, adding things, modifying things, looking for workarounds. There is always something going wrong. I don't want to code my book, I want to write it. Don't get me wrong, latex and lyx do a terrific job, but as with many open source tools there is always something extra that has to be done to get the job done right. I am actually getting tired of it. grtz, Bart http://www.bartart3d.be/ 2011/8/5 Richard Heck rgh...@comcast.net On 08/05/2011 12:54 PM, bart.deruy...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the answer, I fixed the TOC trouble with latex command \addcontentsline, that seems to work.

Re: Re: TOC trouble and margins are not followed
Aparently the latex log file shows this : Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for (babel) the language `Dutch' (babel) I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead. I've searched with google, and I've found out some had to un-comment a line saying 'dutch nehyph.tex' . I even did not find those words, but I did find 'dutch loadhyph-nl.tex and it already is un-commented. When changed to hehyph.tex latex still throws the warning as shown above. grtz, Bart Weird, something I'm missing? Did the naming of hyphenation files change?

Re: TOC trouble and margins are not followed
Richard, thanks for your offer to send you the lyx file, but at the moment it's not necessary. I think I got the hyphenation working, even though I don't know what I did. Yesterday evening, last pdf preview it showed the error in the log, now my pc is rebooted this morning, I take a look again, and hyphenation works as expected. Perhaps I did something right, but it needed to be reconfigured on a reboot. No idea why though. and about the Section* yes, I use these. Ahh, I get it, I should not have used the unnumbered sections!! What the hell? Now that is what I call thinking the wrong way about usability. It's like with that date thing. Adding the authors name to the title automatically adds todays date to it. You have to find a menu, somewhere and check 'suppress default date on front page', instead of just inserting 'date' to your page if you'd want it. So for an automatic TOC, numbered sections are a requirement. That's quite a useless restriction. If I didn't wan't a TOC I wouldn't insert one. And I guess I'll have to add latex code to get rid of the numbering now, right? grtz, Bart http://www.bartart3d.be/ 2011/8/5 Richard Heck rgh...@comcast.net On 08/05/2011 03:52 PM, bart deruyter wrote: Writing a book, I decided to use the book class.

TOC trouble and margins are not followed
Hi all, I'm trying to typeset my novel, that I want to publish soon. I have started using lyx because it hides most of the technical stuff, so I can concentrate on the writing. But I'm having quite some trouble to get things looking right, things I thought were handled automatically. First of all, my TOC remains empty. As I understood, I just had to do 'Insert -> list/TOC -> Table of contents. I do use the correct paragraph types, Part, Chapter, section, subsection etc... so I thought the TOC would be generated automatically when viewing the pdf, but it does not. Secondly, a novel is rarely printed on A4, and the company I'd like to ask to print my book gives a discount on printing on A5 (printing on demand service) so I thought changing the document setting page size from A4 to A5. This obviously has a big influence on the flow of the text. My language is Dutch, and hyphenation is horrible. I do have texlive-lang-dutch installed. Also, words that can be split sometimes are not, which results in many, many overfull \hbox (from LaTeX Log). The margins are not followed. What can I do about these problems? I'm using Linux Mint11, if that extra information can help. grtz, Bart http://www.bartart3d.be/
