How to make a clone of the Enumerate environment?

2008-07-14 Thread Steve Litt
Hi all,

I'm trying to make a simple clone of the Enumerate environment. Once I can do 
that, I'll make a few changes. But I've not been able to clone it. Here's my 
layout file:

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[book]{quizbook}

Input stdclass.inc

Preamble
\let\questions = \enumerate
\let\oldquestions = \oldenumerate
EndPreamble

Style Questions
MarginStatic
LatexType Item_Environment
LatexName questions
NextNoIndent  1
LeftMarginMMN
LabelSep  xx
ParSkip   0.0
ItemSep   0.2
TopSep0.7
BottomSep 0.7
ParSep0.3
Align Block
AlignPossible Block, Left
LabelType Enumerate
End

The preceding layout produces the output shown in the attached 
screenshot_questions.gif. However, if I change the LatexName in the LyX 
environment from "questions" to "enumerate", it outputs as shown in the 
attached screenshot_enumerate.gif.

Can somebody explain to me why the two don't output the same? Can somebody 
explain how I can truly clone the Enumerate environment?

NOTE: In order to toggle the output when switching between LatexType questions 
and LatexType enumerate, you must Tools->reconfigure and then terminate and 
restart LyX. Trust me on this -- I tried without reconfiguring and the output 
didn't toggle.

Thanks

Thanks again for your help. The usepackage does appear in the source

However, if I scroll down to the end of the source, I find the following:

\bibliographystyle{plain}

Can it be, that the bibliographystyle command overrides the uspackage 
command?




I don't have the achemso package, so I can't say for sure, but probably 
not.  The \bibliographystyle command dictates what BibTeX style file 
(.bst) is used to format the references, not the in-text citations.  If 
the achemso package includes a .bst file, you will want to select it 
(changning "plain" to whatever it's called, presumably "achemso").


The \usepackage{achemso} command is employed to load a style file 
(achemso.sty) that, I assume, helps format the in-text citations.  Go to 
Document -> Settings... -> Bibliography and make sure that, in the 
Citation Style are, Default is selected.  Other than that, I'm not sure 
what you can do to encourage LaTeX to see and use the achemso style file.

Lyx/MacTex Integration

2008-07-14 Thread Alan Kellogg
Anybody working on that? Since Lyx requires some flavor of LaTex to  
work, and MacTex is the taste our host prefers, it makes sense to me  
to combine the two. And all the apps and utilities recommended for  
use with MacTex.


Start by determining what isn't necessary in an integrated app, then  
work out how to put everything together in a package. All things  
considered I think you'll find such a Lyx Grand a smaller file than  
what you have to deal with now, and so easier to deal with.


Just a thought, play with as you wish.

Hi.
I suscribed to the list because I need some help to work with Lyx and the
Colombian norms for documents.
First of all, I would like to know if any of you have worked with these
norms (maybe a colombian user).  I searched through the mail archive and
found a thread regarding this topic.  If someone has used Lyx for these
norms, it would be of great help if he could guide me a little.  Anyway, if
it's necesary, I could start doing it myself and the thread I found showed
some links to create a documentclass.
I'm just trying not to re-invent the wheel.

[announce] preview test release of LyX 1.6.0beta4 for Windows

2008-07-14 Thread Uwe Stöhr

Hello LyX testers,

I uploaded an installer for the fourth beta release of the upcoming LyX version 
1.6.0 for Windows.

NOTE: LyX 1.6 is in beta state! That means it is stable enough for a beta test 
release, but expect
inconsistencies and regressions. This preview release is build for interested 
LyX users who want
to check out the new features of LyX.

The new features of LyX are listed here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16

! THIS LYX VERSION SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE THAN TESTING !

-

The installer for this version can be downloaded from:
https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=14892

(General infos about the installer can be found here:
 http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller )

This LyX version can be installed side by side to an existing LyX 1.5 
installation when you unchek
the installer option update the ".lyx" file extension settings. It will be installed 
as "LyX
1.6.0beta4".

Installer Changelog:
-
Version 4.06
- LyX 1.6beta4 (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg141829.html)
  (list of current regressions: http://tinyurl.com/yu4the )
  (list of current crashes and critical bugs: http://tinyurl.com/653prg)

-

Important note: Due to a bug in LyX you are first be able to export documents 
to e.g. PDF after
opening the preferences dialog and clicking there on the save button.

happy testing and best regards
Uwe




LyX version 1.6.0 (beta 4) is released

2008-07-14 Thread José Matos
Public release of LyX version 1.6.0 (beta 4)
===

We are glad to announce the release of LyX 1.6.0 (beta 4).

Compared with the latest stable release, this is the culmination of
one year of hard work, and we sincerely hope you will enjoy the
results.

This release is the last planned beta release in the path that leads to 
1.6.0, the beta status is thus an indication of the development stage and so 
we advise care when using this release. Please back up your work before using 
this release as it should be generally done in a beta release.
The next scheduled release is rc1 (the first release candidate).

As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly
visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
some of the new features are the direct results of this work.

The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues with this release
compared to the latest stable release (LyX 1.5.5). An updated list of
issues might later be found at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes

You can download LyX 1.6.0beta4 here (the .bz2 are compressed with
bzip2, which yields smaller files):

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0beta4.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0beta4.tar.bz2

Note that due to the amount of changes no patch is provided to upgrade
from version 1.5.5.

Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
installers) should soon be available at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/


If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.0beta4, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel @ lists.lyx.org), or open
a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org

If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question,
first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find the answer there,
e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users @ lists.lyx.org).

Enjoy!

The LyX team.

\displaystyle is not larger 'per-se', it uses the style of a "display"
formula (in contrast to inline formulae). This means that sum and integral
will be larger (maybe some others as well) but not "normal" letters and
symbols. Also, the placement of indices might differ.

then reconfigure LyX (Extras>Reconfigure) and re-start.
