I not sure I follow what you mean here.  You want the name of the chapter

definition of Style Chapter in your layout file from "Margin  Static" to
"Margin Dynamic" and then remove or comment out the Label.  Doing this
will make your Chapters look more like \Huge Sections.

Re: Comment environment

How to force LyX to make the all compilation

[Yann MORERE]

Hello there, 


I'm using LyX 1.04

I use xemacs to create and update my bibtex bibliography, 

But i have some probleme, when updating the bibliography via xemacs, the
next compilation under lyx does not take into account the modification, 

i would like to regenerate the bibliography in fact relaunching the 3
compilation and bibtex compilation.

If the whole tabular uses large fonts than probably you can put in
the LaTeX preamble:

\usepackage{array}
\setlenght{\extrarowheight}{2mm}

Otherwise you can by using multicolumn define the fixed lenght only
for one single cell instead for the whole column!

Yes, you're right. Check the lyx.spec file which comes with
the sources and you'll see. Look for rpmdir=/var/... or

On the other hand, instmon (http://www.freshmeat.net and

Read the rpm manpage. The basic procedure is as follows (su

rpm -i lyx*.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
here you'll see lyx.spec file. edit it to suit your needs. the format

LyX Suggestion - Re: Pagination Query

[Mr. Geepus the Sweeper]

Hi!

On 30-Sep-99 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes wrote:

 If you are using the book class, you can add (marked as TeX)
 \frontmatter at the beginning of the document,
 \mainmatter at the beginning of the main part
 \backmatter at the end of the main part.

Now, I know this question comes up a lot (at least, it has recently :)
but I have a different question related to it, and a design suggestion related
to the related question.  :)

Q:  Is there a way to pass arguments, when printing through LyX, to get
those "frontmatter" pages to print?  From the dvips docs, you can do stuff like
-pp =2-5 to get pages *absolute* 2 (in other words, if you start with page "i",
that would be page "ii") through page 5 (relative to the page *numbered* 1 in
the book)... however, when I try putting such things in the "pages" field of
LyX' print dialog I get error messages.

Suggestion:  Make a way, via a fancier dialog or a way to pass args to
dvips (or whatever the user is using) so that we could print just the
frontmatter pages or do other weird stuff.  :)

(I noted yesterday that if I have some \frontmatter pages and I request
to print page 1, I get *both* the absolute first page of the document, *and* the
page numbered "1".  To get the real second page, I found that I had to do
"Update DVI" and use a shell window to print it via dvips; LyX would not print
it.)

So, there is my stuff... do with it what you will.  :)

Bye,

How to force LyX to make the all compilation

[Yann MORERE]

Hello there, 


I'm using LyX 1.04

I use xemacs to create and update my bibtex bibliography, 

But i have some probleme, when updating the bibliography via xemacs, the
next compilation under lyx does not take into account the modification, 

i would like to regenerate the bibliography in fact relaunching the 3
compilation and bibtex compilation.

Please don't corrupt the subject line.  Using Netscape Communicator,
use "match all of the following" where the "to or cc" field contains
"lyx-users" and select "move to folder" and you can figure out the
rest.  It works.

Re: rpm-ing lyx

If the whole tabular uses large fonts than probably you can put in

Otherwise you can by using multicolumn define the fixed lenght only

Yes, you're right. Check the lyx.spec file which comes with
the sources and you'll see. Look for rpmdir=/var/... or

On the other hand, instmon (http://www.freshmeat.net and

LyX Suggestion - Re: Pagination Query

[Mr. Geepus the Sweeper]

Hi!

On 30-Sep-99 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes wrote:

 If you are using the book class, you can add (marked as TeX)
 \frontmatter at the beginning of the document,
 \mainmatter at the beginning of the main part
 \backmatter at the end of the main part.

Now, I know this question comes up a lot (at least, it has recently :)
but I have a different question related to it, and a design suggestion related
to the related question.  :)

Q:  Is there a way to pass arguments, when printing through LyX, to get
those "frontmatter" pages to print?  From the dvips docs, you can do stuff like
-pp =2-5 to get pages *absolute* 2 (in other words, if you start with page "i",
that would be page "ii") through page 5 (relative to the page *numbered* 1 in
the book)... however, when I try putting such things in the "pages" field of
LyX' print dialog I get error messages.

Suggestion:  Make a way, via a fancier dialog or a way to pass args to
dvips (or whatever the user is using) so that we could print just the
frontmatter pages or do other weird stuff.  :)

(I noted yesterday that if I have some \frontmatter pages and I request
to print page 1, I get *both* the absolute first page of the document, *and* the
page numbered "1".  To get the real second page, I found that I had to do
"Update DVI" and use a shell window to print it via dvips; LyX would not print
it.)

So, there is my stuff... do with it what you will.  :)

Bye,

The problem is that LyX has a fixed number of counters for counting these
different entries.  The counter for bibliography entries is also the same
one used for sections (or something like that).  It shouldn't be that hard
to add another counter specifically for the Bibliography.  Others?

I not sure I follow what you mean here.  You want the name of the chapter
but not the "Chapter 1" on-screen?  You should be able to just change the
definition of Style Chapter in your layout file from "Margin  Static" to
"Margin Dynamic" and then remove or comment out the Label.  Doing this
will make your Chapters look more like \Huge Sections.

Please don't corrupt the subject line.  Using Netscape Communicator,
use "match all of the following" where the "to or cc" field contains
"lyx-users" and select "move to folder" and you can figure out the
rest.  It works.

Re: rpm-ing lyx

[Tony Dancer]

I had this problem when building from the tar.gz, and found the
quickest solution was to extract lyx.xpm from the archive and place it
in the directory RPM was complaining it couldnt find it in (in my case,
the redhat/SOURCES directory.

worked fine. I suspect the RPM spec file in the archive is a bit wonky.

I hope you know how to use footnotes in (normal) tabulars (otherwise
have a look at the example files), for a float I would put the tabular
in a minipage (have a look at he paragraph->extra options.

If the whole tabular uses large fonts than probably you can put in
the LaTeX preamble:

\usepackage{array}
\setlenght{\extrarowheight}{2mm}

Otherwise you can by using multicolumn define the fixed lenght only
for one single cell instead for the whole column!

Hope this helps!

Yes, you're right. Check the lyx.spec file which comes with
the sources and you'll see. Look for rpmdir=/var/... or
something like that.

On the other hand, instmon (http://www.freshmeat.net and
search) is a handy tool. It monitors where the files go and
it's able to make .rpm from of the installed program.

  Quit LyX? Why? The most that could be needed is to close the document and
reopen it again. :)

Read the rpm manpage. The basic procedure is as follows (su
root, of course)

rpm -i lyx*.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

rpm -bb lyx.spec

cd ../RPMS/i386



It's the basic rpm build process. I don't know if LyX would
act any different (like, putting some files into RPMS/noarch/
directory)

Re: rpm-ing lyx

Thanks, I tried using the src.rpm as well as extracting the xpm and
putting it in the respective directory. Both give me the following
message:
Configuration:

  Compiler:   g++
  Compiler flags: -O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce

 The following problems have been detected by configure.

I installed Suse6.2 out of the box, XForms is installed, libXpm not, but
it isn't on the Suse6.2 either, yet I believe they are what Suse calls
simply xpm - is this right? Any ideas how to get it installed?

LyX Suggestion - Re: Pagination Query

[Mr. Geepus the Sweeper]

Hi!

On 30-Sep-99 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes wrote:

> If you are using the book class, you can add (marked as TeX)

Now, I know this question comes up a lot (at least, it has recently :)
but I have a different question related to it, and a design suggestion related
to the related question.  :)

Q:  Is there a way to pass arguments, when printing through LyX, to get
those "frontmatter" pages to print?  From the dvips docs, you can do stuff like
-pp =2-5 to get pages *absolute* 2 (in other words, if you start with page "i",
that would be page "ii") through page 5 (relative to the page *numbered* 1 in
the book)... however, when I try putting such things in the "pages" field of
LyX' print dialog I get error messages.

Suggestion:  Make a way, via a fancier dialog or a way to pass args to
dvips (or whatever the user is using) so that we could print just the
frontmatter pages or do other weird stuff.  :)

(I noted yesterday that if I have some \frontmatter pages and I request
to print page 1, I get *both* the absolute first page of the document, *and* the
page numbered "1".  To get the real second page, I found that I had to do
"Update DVI" and use a shell window to print it via dvips; LyX would not print
it.)

So, there is my stuff... do with it what you will.  :)

Bye,

I am not sure how to to a proper fix. To do it we need to know the
absolute path to the bib file in questions, if we can have that the
problem is solved.  But how to get the absolute path of the bib file?

I perfect solution is of course best, but if we have to we can do with

We should probably have a "look for files in the latex path module"
that features like bib and class latex can use. This module could use
kpathsea it that is installed, or it could look at envir paths or
