Another suggestion:

Put a TeX box immediately in front of each table, containing the command
\newstylenums{
And immediately after the table, a TeX box containing just a single
}


This works for me. All numbers in the entire table becomes new style.
This may be some work for an entire book, but it sure is easier
than using latex commands for each and every little number.

Everything between two such boxes is typeset newstyle, so
if there are several tables and a little text (without numbers),
consider saving work by enclosing the whole group with just
the two boxes.

I have not tested what happens if the tables are inside floats,
maybe you have to use \newstylenums in each float then.

Hi!

Yes this works fine with the eco package. But mathpazo does not seem to 
have any \newstylenums or any other command for the same effect.

lyx1.5 on PPC Mac

[Peter Drummond]

Hi -

I have serious problems using LyX 1.5 on a PPC Mac, with OSX10.4,  from 
the downloaded binaries. This occurs even after I re-installed my 
operating system, MacTex and LyX from scratch.


These are as follows;

1) The export menu doesn't list the usual options. It only gives options 
of `rtf' or `custom', which in turn generates a menu for inserting 
user-defined commands. I have no idea how to use this. There are no 
defaults, and I don't know how to get pdf or ps or latex output. This is 
a serious problem, as I need pdf and latex outputs every time I use Lyx.


2) Once a Lyx file is saved, it is not compatible with previous Lyx 
versions. Hence, one cannot simply save the lyx file, then re-open it 
with an older version of the program and export from there. In the PPC 
version of Lyx1.5, the export menu gives no options for export to older 
lyx versions either, so even this is blocked.


3) There is recent version of Lyx1.4.5.1 which can read the LyX1.5 
files, but this reports installation errors when I  install it from the 
installer program. This can handle latex export but reports other errors 
(from font issues) on attempting a pdf export. It is not a longterm 
solution, although at least it has a working export menu.


4) Strangely enough, the font errors don't occur when I simply use latex 
directly. Also, they didn't occur in earlier LyX releases, so it seems 
like a problem with paths.


5) In PPC Lyx1.5, I find that the usual default options of numerical 
bibliography style cannot be saved. Instead, one must use natbib. But 
this appears to have a bug, which means that in the pdf preview some 
references are numerical, some have error mesages about missing  
authors. The final result is essentially unusable.


6) So in summary, to use LyX1.5 PPC I have to a) edit inside LyX1.5.1 
b)save the LyX1.5 file c)open with Lyx 1.4.5.1 d) export latex e) fix 
the bibliography errors f) compile latex to pdf.


Any help would be greatly appreciated! Note, these problems appear 
unique to PPC Lyx1.5. binaries, and did not occur with most earlier 
releases. There are fewer problems with Mac Intel binaries.


Yours, Peter Drummond.

The ones that ship with LyX are in \Resources\bind, where 
 is usually C:\Program Files\LyX15 (give or take).  There are 
subdirectories for a few non-English variants.  Bind files added or 
edited by the user go in \bind, where  is usually 
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\lyx15. 
Help->About will identify both  (labeled "Library directory") 
and  (labeled "User directory").  It's important to put the edited 
files there, lest the changes be lost when a new version of LyX is 
installed.


Once you know that, have a look at these files: The map keys to LyX 
commands or command sequences. They are completely customizable, and you 
can try out new commands and command-sequences in the `mini-buffer' 
before modifying the bind files.


One thing to keep in mind is that bind files can (and do) load other 
bind files.  For instance, at the bottom of cua.bind, you'll find 
\bind_file commands that load other files.  The reason I mention this is 
that when you bind keys to a macro, you'll obviously want to try to pick 
an unused key combination -- but what's unused in the file you're 
editing may be used in a file it subsequently loads, which would 
overwrite your definition.


The syntax is pretty simple, and is explained on the wiki: 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/KeyboardShortcuts.  Command sequences are also 
explained on the wiki (http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/CommandSequences), and 
you can find a list of LFUNS (the functions you can use in command 
sequences) as well (http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxFunctions).


One other thing to keep in mind:  separate from the bind file(s) you are 
using, some key combinations are bound to menu actions (see stdmenus.inc 
in the ...\Resources\ui folder).  AFAIK, if you bind a macro to a key 
combination already in use in a menu, the menu version trumps your new 
binding, unless you edit stdmenus.inc to change the key bound to the menu.

It wouldn't be difficult to have the LyX-Installer copy examples over

that doesn't require a separate installer.


The other issue, of course, is providing clear documentation for

Adding a toc to your example Uwe makes the section title overlap the
section text inside the toc. I think the example I posted using the
appendix package is a better solution, unless you have some nice way

Fwd: Floating problems with image boxes

[Manveru]

Hi Users,
I've just started my master thesis and I use LyX 1.5.1 for this, but of
course the final effect is *rendered* by pdflatex. My current problem with
this document is that in final pdf I have strange large margins (as you can
see in attached images) in floating boxes and sometimes picture goes outside
margins (as with "jazelle" and " power.org" logo).

Here is my preamble for this document:
\usepackage{fix-cm}

\usepackage{type1ec}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

 \usepackage[pdftex,man,opt]{wmstitle}

\usepackage[bookmarks, bookmarksopen=true, bookmarksnumbered=true,
colorlinks=true, pdftitle={System sterowania robotem mobilnym},
pdfauthor={Michał Fita}]{hyperref}

\usepackage[protrusion=true,expansion=true, tracking=true, spacing=true,
kerning=true, selected=true, babel=true]{microtype}


Configuration for the floating box (according to wrongpic01.jpg):
width: 34 / units: mm / position: right
Configuration for the image itself:
width: 30 mm / show in lyx: 30%

Configuration for the floating box (according to wrongpic02.jpg):
width: 3 / units: cm / position: right
Configuration for the image itself:
scale: 50% / show in lyx: 50%

Has anyone know what could be responsible for such situation? Are there any
useful options for float package, which I can use to adjust margins and
positions of images in float boxes?

Thanks in advance for any hints!

Re: minimal contents for .layout file

[Helge Hafting]

Tariq Abdullah wrote:

Hi All,

Can someone describe the contents and purpose of layout file in Lyx.
  

Try Help->Customization


Why is it necessary to creat/include layout file in addition to .cls file
in Lyx?
  

Because LyX doesn't understand .cls (or .sty) files. LyX can
tell latex to use some .cls file, but LyX doesn't
understand what the .cls file is for or what opportunities
it offers. This because LyX don't understand all of LaTeX.

Basically, a .layout file is for LyX what a .cls or .sty file is for LaTeX.

A .layout file tells LyX:
* about some document settings & defaults
* about paragraph types
* about character styles
* How these styles should look on the screen, and what latex
  commands must be used to print them.
 
Note that the layout on screen is quite limited, but there are

almost no limits as to what latex code you can invoke.


It will be of great help if someone can describe the minimal contents of
the layout file in order to use a new class file with Lyx. I have already
checked chapter 5 of "Lyx customization manual". This chapter provides
terribly long details about the layout file.
Please don't refer me to that chapter. -:)

Well, layout files aren't "easy" stuff so if you want to understand,
that file is useful!

Still, a minimal .layout can be small because it can build on
existing layouts. An example that add 3-column paragraphs
to the article class:
--
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[article]{article (with triplecolumns)}

#Test style, adds 3-column paragraphs to the article class.
#The format version
Format 2

#Documents will be articles, with an add-on
Input article.layout

#Let's override a default - we want fancy pages
PageStyle fancy

#The new text style
Style threecol
   #Mostly like standard text
   CopyStyle Standard
   #Implemented with an environment (not a command)
   LatexType Environment
   #The name of this environment
   LatexName threecol
   #Preamble latexcode necessary if this paragraph style
   #gets used in the document
   Preamble
   \usepackage{multicol}
   \newenvironment{threecol}
   {\begin{multicols}{3}}
   {\end{multicols}}
   EndPreamble
End

-

Of course a truly minimal file can be even smaller, but then
it won't do anything new.  For example:

--
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[article]{article (with nothing extra)}

#Test style, adds 3-column paragraphs to the article class.
#The format version
Format 2

#This will be just like article:
Input article.layout
-

Making a .layout file for an entirely new document class
isn't much harder than the simple example, but it will
of course be much more work. You have to write
entries for every paragraph type or character style
the new class have.

I have also had some problems with figure wraps. One reason for the

What you can do is:
Try making the wrapped stuff smaller. Both narrower and
shorter.  This usually helps.  Sometimes making it wider
helps too. With less text beside your wrapped stuff,
you push the next (sub)section further down and away
from the wrapped region.

Make sure that the only stuff that will get next to the
wrap is ordinary text.



OK...what am I supposed to be changing the size of?  The only things I
see are config windows called "Graphics" OR "Text Wrap Settings".
I have changed all kinds of things in both those windows and see
*absolutely no change whatsoever* in the LyX window appearance of the
float box, graphic nor text (using 1.5.1).  Is something suppose to be
changing that I can see?  The red (float?) box automatically goes full
(column?) width and I see no way to adjust that.
  

You don't see a change inside LyX when adjusting the width,
but is some cases you may succeed in producing a
wrapped float. I.e. you'll get something useful when
printing or doing view->dvi.

Now, perhaps the menu should read
"insert->float->text wrap float(broken)"
For this thing simply don't work well, and I don't think there
is anything we can do with that either.



Also, the text always starts at the bottom of the graphic--like
"justified to bottom".  How do I get the text to start at the top of the
graphic so it actually has something to wrap around?
  

You will not see the wrapping inside LyX, only in the output.
LyX is not wysiwyg, it is wysiwym.  (See the intro for an explanation.)

Then you do something wrong. Start with the Userguide. As this is a special topic not everybody is

The Customization manual is about customizing LyX, not the document output. The EmbeddedObjects 
manual is like the Extended manual, but specialized on Floats, Figures, Tables, Boxes, Listings, and 
External material - as said in the title of this document.


LyX 1.5.2 will come with a completely revised and in many parts rewritten Userguide that guides you 
in many cases to the right manual for special topics.



How about a little merging - LyX should be pretty good at that, yes?


I think that 140 A4 pages  for the userGuide are enough. The EmbeddedObjects manual is about 90 
pages, the same for the Extended and Customization manual.

And note that it is impossible to explain every LaTeX-hook in the docs!

This works for me. All numbers in the entire table becomes new style.
This may be some work for an entire book, but it sure is easier
than using latex commands for each and every little number.

Everything between two such boxes is typeset newstyle, so
if there are several tables and a little text (without numbers),
consider saving work by enclosing the whole group with just
the two boxes.

I have not tested what happens if the tables are inside floats,
maybe you have to use \newstylenums in each float then.

Hi,
can someone please send me a .lyx-file where I can see how to use Old Style 
Figures?
  

Here is an example file with old and new style numbers.
Use view->dvi or view->PDF to see the effect.

Apacite and long URLs

[Roberto Gorjão]

Hi,

As you know, long URLs, in bibliographies styled with apacite, are not 
broken and are printed on a single line that gets as long as needed, 
even if it goes off the sheet limits. This problem is mentioned in 
apacite's manual, but no solution is suggested. Is there any solution yet?


Thanks!

Roberto
