widow and orphan control

1999-08-23 Thread Darrin Thompson

Is there a latex or lyx package of some kind that adds widow and orphan
control?

Just in case I am not using standard words:

widow: The last line of a paragraph containing seven or less characters.

orphan: The last line of paragraph appearing as the first line in a
column.

These are considered undesireable in some cases and I would like to know
if there is any latex or lyx way of automatically removing them.

Still stuck on Solaris

1999-08-23 Thread David F. Nitz

Hi,

Thanks to those who responded to with suggestions regarding my
problem getting Lyx to work on Solaris 2.6.1.  Unfortunately,
none of the suggestions hit the mark.  Let me re-describe
what appears to be the crux of the problem perhaps a bit
more clearly.

Operating System: Solaris 2.6
Compiler: gcc 2.7.2

Lyx versions tried:  1.01 pre-built binary
 1.03 built from source
 1.04pre built from source

Problem:

Can't export LaTex file.  A ".tex" file is created, but size is always 0
bytes.  No error or warning messages are generated.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

subtitle?

1999-08-23 Thread Tony Dancer

I have a paper with a short title and a subtitle, but there is no
defined style for 'subtitle'. Can someone point me in the direction for
defining one (I am using AMS Article). As with my previous query, would
some preabmle do the job?


Thanks

Latex Class Trouble

1999-08-23 Thread Efram Burlingame

Here is my problem, and any and all help is appreciated.

I am trying to use a thesis class from latex in lyx.  I have read the
customization file and also many of the emails to this archive and I must
admit I am still stumped.
What is happening: I can get the lyx document menu to show my class
(ucdthesis), but it tells me 
"unable to use document class.  Reverting to original class"
What I have Done: I created a ucdthesis.layout file in ~/.lyx/layouts
which is as follows

#% our love is a many splendored thing or something
#   \DeclareLaTeXClass[ucdthesis]{ucdthesis} 


 then because I read it on one of these posts, i ran texhash (which
apparently is just a pointer to mktexlsr).  I have stored in many
directories my file ucdthesis.cls.  I have stored it in
~/.lyx/tex,~/.lyx/layouts,~texmf, and /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc.
If it is supposed to transfrom the ucdthesis.cls file into something, i
have not seen it.  Oh, and of course I ran reconfigure in lyx and
restarted it.  I am a broken man and in need of help, what have I
missed(not knowing a bit of latex)?

Did I:
1)not put the .cls file in the correct place?
2)incorrectly ran mktexlsr?
3)have a foul .cls file?
4)have trouble reading documention or more likely,
5)anger the gods

-Efram Burlingame

ps. I like lyx and the people in my lab are becoming excited about its
power.  If you can help me surmount this problem you will have gained at
least 10 people more to the cause.  viva lyx!

How did you write your own class, not knowing a bit of latex? You
must be a wizard!;-)


Did I:
1)not put the .cls file in the correct place?

Did you put it somewhere in the path texmf/tex/latex? I have a
special directory for my styles there.

Can you run latex from a shell on that file sucessfully? Export
your lyx-file as latex and try. 

latex path/to/your/latex-file.tex

2)incorrectly ran mktexlsr?

Mhh. I am using texconfig, where there is a command rehash
(rebuild ls-R database) I think it ran mktexlsr. You must be root
to do that!

3)have a foul .cls file?

Then you will have many error-massages using 

latex path/to/your/latex-file.tex
