I've thought of such things from time to time, and concluded that the
style authors have more knowledge of typesetting than I do, and that my
opinion of "more appropriate space" probably enjoys less acceptance than
their opinion.
However there is a case to make for being able to change it... you just
first need to ask yourself if you are sure that you know better than the
class designers. If you decision is based purely on "it's too wide" then
you probably don't know better and you should leave it alone.

Font sizes in Lyx and Latex are given names:
http://www.image.ufl.edu/help/latex/fonts.shtml
So first you need to think if you literally want "10.5pt" or if you want
to set the size of one of the name styles or sizes to 10.5pt.
You can mess with tie \fontsize{}{} command; insert this in your pre-amble:
\newcommand\sizetf[1]{\begingroup\fontsize{10.5}{12}\selectfont{#1}\endgroup}
then you can use the command
\sizetf{I'm in 10.5pt}
in ERT in your document.
(I wish Lyx supported adding per-document layouts and elements in the
same way that it supports adding Latex commands in the preamble)

You probably want to read this:
http://tkcs-collins.com/truman/latex/list_examp.shtml
And you may find it easier to use these if you define a lyx .module file
to go with them. Look at existing lyx module files to work this out, and
install your own in ~/.lyx/layouts

Captions
Hi!
Does anybody know, how can get rid of the indentations in my float caption
texts (for both figures and tables)?
Figure 1: Now my text looks like this,
here begins the 2nd line of the caption.
Figure 2: And I would like to have something like
this, where there isn't an indent in the 2nd line.
Document-class: book(KOMA-script)
LYX version 1.6.3 for Windows.
I have tried different things I found on the internet, both ERT and
commands for the preamble but so far nothing has worked out - either
nothing happens or I get lots and lots of errors. I have looked in the
KOMA-manual but I just don't undrstand it- I basically needs an
explanation for dummies :D
It should be mentioned that I already have this defined in the preamble:
\usepackage[dvips=false%
,pdftex=false%
,vtex=false%
,twoside%
,papersize={170mm,240mm}% --- A4 with 20mm cut on both sides and 28.8mm
cut top and bottom
,hdivide={24mm,*,24mm}% --- 122mm text width, 24mm margin both sides (no
binding edge!)
,vdivide={11.5mm,*,17.5mm}% --- 28.5+11.5=40mm from top of A4 to text
(46mm at bottom)
,includehead%
,includefoot%
]{geometry}
\usepackage[a4,cam,axes,noinfo,center]{crop} % For printing crop-marks on
a4 manuscript
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\uppercase{#1}}{}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\uppercase{#1}}}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\small \thepage} % Left on Even numbered pages & Right
on Odd
\fancyhead[LO]{\small \slshape \rightmark} % Left on Odd (Right-hand page)
\fancyhead[RE]{\small \slshape \leftmark} % Right on Even (Left-hand page)
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.5pt}
I really hope someone can help me with this and please give me the
dummy-version :D

I attach an example module with font sizes from 8 to 12.5 with step 0.5.
It works fine for me on 1.6.3. Once it is copied to the layout folder
(*), you reconfigure, close & reopen lyx, and add the "Font Size Styles"
module in the Document->Settings, "Modules" tab. Apply and you
automatically have those styles in "Edit->Text Styles" or better, in the
right-click contextual menu.
However, I do not encourage the use of font size this way. Better is to
use logical styles.

Sure, but as you can't embed a layout module in the lyx document, ERT
can sometimes be easier and more portable, and for small chunks of text
is already clearly delineated in the Lyx document by the red box.
(I suggested a layout module for his enums, it would be nuts to do those
with ERT)
And thanks for providing the examples that I was too lazy to provide..

Okay, I see what you meant now. Hopefully, the layout modules will be
somehow integrated in the "embedded" format, when it is available.

And thanks for providing the examples that I was too lazy to provide..
It was a good "challenge" for me, and I learnt a lot: it seems latex
command names cannot contain numbers nor "." or "_" characters. I had to
go for the ugly "number in full letters" way. I also learnt the LyX font
size this way (no numbers).
This illustrates the big 'drawback' of LyX: After ~8 years using LyX,
writing a Thesis and several documents, I haven't learnt much of LaTeX
because LyX does all for me. LyX encourages laziness !

Re: Captions
Hi,
the most effective way (as far as I know) to customise float capions is to
use the package caption which provides several options.
I use it in connection withLyX and the KOMA script report class and I obtain
what I want.
If it is not included in your LaTeX distribution you can download it from:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/
and install in your computer.
Then in you preamble you should put the following lines:
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[table]{format=plain,skip=\medskipamount} % for tables
\captionsetup[figure]{format=plainskip=\medskipamount} %for figures
Check the documentation with all the options you can use at
http://www.ctan.org/get/macros/latex/contrib/caption/caption-eng.pdf

Hi Ricardo,
The following comes right out of my layout file, which is based on book.cls:
% ### MyEnumerate: Vertically denser version of Enumerate style ###
\newenvironment{myenumerateL}{%
~\\[-1.2\baselineskip]
\begin{enumerate}%
\setlength{\parsep}{-2pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{-2pt}
\setlength{\partopsep}{-3pt}
\setstretch{0.7}
}{
\end{enumerate}
~\\[-0.5\baselineskip]
}
The preceding's main effect is to space all list items closer to each other,
but the top "~\\[-1.2\baselineskip]" controls the distance of the list to the
preceding paragraph.
I chose to make a brand new environment, but you could have just as easily
done it in place like this:
\let\oldenumerate\enumerate
\let\oldendenumerate\endenumerate
And then oldenumerate in the begin and end.

index entry "see also" ?
LaTeX has "see" for an index entry, but docbook has "see" and "see also".
Any suggestions on how to get LyX or LaTeX to support a "see also" style
index entry?
I believe that \seename can be redefined, but I may want both.
Something like:
\index{BSD|seealso{Berkeley Unix}}
Re: index entry "see also" ?
FWIW I hate index entries that redirect me. There may be an occasional
justified use (redirect me to a concept with many sub-entries) but most
redirect me to another entry to give me a page or two. Surely this is
archaic?

\index expressions
I'm trying to extend the indexing of newfangle literate code chunks.
I'm: \usepackage{index}
so that I can have multiple indexes; but the \index{} command seems to
literally interpret the first parameter, so that
\index{\chunkname}
indexes "\chunkname" instead of the name.
I've tried all kinds of use of \expandafter and other tricks with
secondary macros, like this:
\def\ch...@index#1{%
\...@index[chunks]{#1}%
}%
\def\Chunk#1{%
\lstset{title={\newfanglecaption},name=#1}%
\global\edef\...@chunkname{\lst@intname}%
\expandafter\ch...@index{\lst@chunkname}%
}%
But even then I get the literal text "\...@chunkname" as the indexed item.
The only thing that "nearly" works is if I pass #1 within \Chunk, but
then I get other text too, which I want to chop off.
Any clues on how to make the index package take an expression?

Sure, but as you can't embed a layout module in the lyx document, ERT
can sometimes be easier and more portable, and for small chunks of text

Actually, LyX does support embedded layout. But it's an Advanced Feature
because it is somewhat dangerous, so it is not widely advertised. There
is also, at the moment, no GUI for it.
Have a look at the file Customization.lyx in your favorite text editor.
Some way down you will find these lines:
\begin_local_layout
Format 7
InsetLayout CharStyle:MenuItem
LyxType charstyle
LabelString menu
LatexType command
LatexName menuitem
Font
Family Sans
EndFont
Preamble
\newcommand*{\menuitem}[1]{{\sffamily #1}}
EndPreamble
End
\end_local_layout
If you want to include local layout in your document, you can open it in
a text editor and add similar lines. Make sure they are well tested
first, and be real careful about the first and last line. Unpredictable
things might happen otherwise.
I hope to add a GUI for this in the next LyX release (now looking like
1.7). I'd be really, really happy if someone else wanted to jump in and
do it. It should actually be quite easy. (More or less just copy the GUI
for the preamble.)

Re: \index expressions
The Texbook says:
The \write command is somewhht special,

As \index writes to a file, this may be the problem!
I'll see if I can do any tricks with

There is a module for list styling, search wiki.lyx.org for 'enumitem'::
#\DeclareLyXModule[enumitem.sty]{Customisable Lists (enumitem)}
#DescriptionBegin
# Control the layout of enumerate, itemize and description
# with an optional argument.
# See http://dante.ctan.org/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/enumitem.pdf

Re: changing justification of caption
Unfortunetly, it did not work. Only the picture goes to the left, but not the caption. Some other idea?

A feature you really need
Hi all, Thank you so much for the outline view on LyX 1.6.x. You need two or three more buttons to make the outline view fully functional: * Insert * Delete * Maybe "Insert Subservient" The Insert function inserts a new heading, at the level of the current heading, directly above either the next heading at the current level, or if the next heading superior to the current level, whichever comes first. A little window should pop up for you to type the text of the heading into. This can be mapped to the Insert key, which at least on my LyX is unmapped. The Delete function deletes the current headline and everything subservient to it. This function should have an "are you sure" screen, and maybe highlight in the document view everything that will be deleted. No need for a keyboard mapping --- this should not be done thoughtlessly. The "Insert Subservient button would insert a headline 1 level subservient to the current level, just above the next headline 1 level subservient to the current one or the next level superior to that. In other words, it goes below any text directly below the current outline. Maybe map this to Ctrl+Insert or something. With these two or three added buttons you now have a fully functional outline processor integrated with the document processor. True, this outline processor isn't as fast or featureful as VimOutliner, but it can be used to design/outline chapters. I just tried designing a chapter with the current outline mode without the buttons, and it's so slow as to make you forget what you're doing. You must repeatedly type in headlines in the doc, then give them headline level environments, then move them around with the up and down and in and out. I can't explain why, but it's incredibly slow, and it takes your mind away from the designing. You know, even just the one Insert button would make this a WHOLE BUNCH faster to use.
