Well, it is a bit hidden... You can use Insertshort title, which will 
give you an inset titled Opt, there you can insert your number and 
everything should work.

really one time (I think when I accidentally wanted to paste a footnote

autosave enabled (and on 3 minutes). I made System Update recently maybe
that fixed it. Anybody else resolved it?

Beamer: using uncover has not same effect if in block or in itemize

[Matthieu Stigler]

Hi

I like to make text appearing on the same line in a second slide using
option uncover.

 While this is working when in enviro block, it is not in enviro
itemize: lyx then adds a new blank line and so text is not shown in

Is this a feature, is there a rationale for having different behaviour
with same action? How can I solve that?

tufte-handout.layout outdated

[Joachim Osnabryg]

Big problem for me, but also for the next release of LyX:

tufte-book.layout - works well,
tufte-handout.layout doesn't work with actual release of Tufte (2009 May  
17)


Please watch, Uwe, Jürgen
  all Tufte-interested LyX-Developer  User:

While the new tufte-book.layout, created by Uwe Stöhr

- http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-book = Tufte-book proposal … for the  
layout file where less ERT needs to be used -


works well with the the actual release of tufte-latex  
(http://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/downloads/list) the vanguard  
tufte-handout.layout, produced kindly by Jürgen Spitzmüller almost one  
year ago

= http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-handout,
does no longer work well with the actual release of tufte-handout.cls (and  
tufte-common.sty). There are uncountable latex errors with it and Lyx  
refuses to offer the pdf-latex view. Though in the the tmp dir I find one,  
more or less usable on my superficial look, but: without the bibliography  
and citations.


Am 27.10.2009, 23:58 Uhr, schrieb Uwe Stöhr in the thread Tufte-book  
Layout File:

I revised Jason's layout file and the version you find here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-book#sLayouts.Tufte-book_2
as Tufte-book proposal
will be included in the next LyX version. Can you please test it?


I did it and reported enthused success.

But when I then started to work again with my numerous tufte-handout  
LyX-files, produced until no: not one is processed well any more.


Obviously the LyX tufte-handout.layout is outdated!
I don't wonder about that: as I have seen, the Tufte-LateX developers have  
changed to put the main processing into a tufte-common.sty file (in  
future: -.def) and only some special cls-commands in both …book.cls and  
…handout.cls. But I am not able to produce a new LyX-layout for handout.


What shall I do now? Hope I can reestablish the old depreciated  
tufte-handout.cls from 2008 may (or november at the latest) to be able to  
run my produced and make new ones in LyX (I had backed-up the old  
handout.cls).


Or, given that the tufte-book.layout »will be included in the next LyX  
version«, may I hope that a new tufte-handout.layout will be made? Jürgen  
Spitzmüller produced the old one in a fly in the train …

Forcing a certain amount of lines after a heading

[Miguel Rubio-Roy]

Hi all,

  Is there any way of forcing a certain number of lines after a heading
without a pagebreak? Sometimes I have a heading clos to the bottom of a
page, and followed by a two-line paragraph, and I get a pagebreak after the
two-lines, but that is too close to the bottom.

Thanks

BigFoot Package

Further to comments the other day, attached is a package that implements 
some simple functionality of the bigfoot package. It seems to work for

radar for 1.7.

You can use the command \enlargethispage{\baselineskip} to make the page one

Hi Yago,
  I had already read about that command. The problem is I don't know which pages
I want to enlarge. I mean, if later on I add text before such heading, it could
jump to the following page, making the command unnecessary. I would prefer a
document-wide solution that just avoids this kind of situations.

Already done. Just to give you a first response:

Your new handout layout file works more or less with the original  
sample-handout.lyx (provided once with Jürgen's old tufte-handout.layout  
on http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-handout).


More or less, because some formatations - as »newthought«, »ALL CAPS«,  
»FULL CAPITAL LETTERS, and »SmallCaps« {character style  
(Edit-TextStyle-SmallCaps)} are marked red and partly as undefined in  
the LyX window already and appeare in normal character stile in the  
produced pdf.


But:
With my self-produced LyX-files on basis of the old tufte-handout.cls and  
-.layout your new .layout unfortunately does not work yet, but I have to  
test it further with faked ones, because in the real ones I have some  
additions in the preamble (and special formatations within the documents)  
which might be excluded already in the new tufte-handout.cls (and  
-common.sty) and not because of your new .layout file.


The problem is, that I have to exchange everytime the files in  
LyX1.6/layouts and ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/tufte-latex/ to test it,  
continuing with my work on my existing LyX files on basis of the old  
handout cls and layout. But I will try out more.


Goutgaun!

This is because the new layout file is incompatible with the old one. One reason is to overcome the 
problems you noticed with the old version. Another one is to have one basic layout for both tufte 
document classes. (The handout call is basically the same as the book class with only a few changes.)


To make LyX files created with the old layout work, you need to open the LyX file with a text editor 
and replace

- CharStyle:SmallCaps with SmallCaps
- CharStyle:AllCaps with AllCaps
- CharStyle:NewThought with NewThought

All future versions of the layout file will be compatible with the current 
layout.

Btw. there is of course also an actual example file:

tufte-handout.layout outdated

Big problem for me, but also for the next release of LyX:

Hi Yago,
  I had already read about that command. The problem is I don't know which pages
I want to enlarge. I mean, if later on I add text before such heading, it could
jump to the following page, making the command unnecessary. I would prefer a
document-wide solution that just avoids this kind of situations.

Already done. Just to give you a first response:

Your new handout layout file works more or less with the original  
sample-handout.lyx (provided once with Jürgen's old tufte-handout.layout  
on http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-handout).


More or less, because some formatations - as »newthought«, »ALL CAPS«,  
»FULL CAPITAL LETTERS, and »SmallCaps« {character style  
(Edit-TextStyle-SmallCaps)} are marked red and partly as undefined in  
the LyX window already and appeare in normal character stile in the  
produced pdf.


But:
With my self-produced LyX-files on basis of the old tufte-handout.cls and  
-.layout your new .layout unfortunately does not work yet, but I have to  
test it further with faked ones, because in the real ones I have some  
additions in the preamble (and special formatations within the documents)  
which might be excluded already in the new tufte-handout.cls (and  
-common.sty) and not because of your new .layout file.


The problem is, that I have to exchange everytime the files in  
LyX1.6/layouts and ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/tufte-latex/ to test it,  
continuing with my work on my existing LyX files on basis of the old  
handout cls and layout. But I will try out more.


Goutgaun!

This is because the new layout file is incompatible with the old one. One reason is to overcome the 
problems you noticed with the old version. Another one is to have one basic layout for both tufte 
document classes. (The handout call is basically the same as the book class with only a few changes.)


To make LyX files created with the old layout work, you need to open the LyX file with a text editor 
and replace

- CharStyle:SmallCaps with SmallCaps
- CharStyle:AllCaps with AllCaps
- CharStyle:NewThought with NewThought

All future versions of the layout file will be compatible with the current 
layout.

Btw. there is of course also an actual example file:

Well, it is a bit hidden... You can use Insert>short title, which will

Beamer: using uncover has not same effect if in block or in itemize

[Matthieu Stigler]

Hi

I like to make text appearing on the same line in a second slide using
option uncover.

 While this is working when in enviro block, it is not in enviro
itemize: lyx then adds a new blank line and so text is not shown in
same line. (see code below)

Is this a feature, is there a rationale for having different behaviour
with same action? How can I solve that?

Thanks a lot!!!

Re: Forcing a certain amount of lines after a heading

Hi Yago,
  I had already read about that command. The problem is I don't know which pages
I want to enlarge. I mean, if later on I add text before such heading, it could
jump to the following page, making the command unnecessary. I would prefer a
document-wide solution that just avoids this kind of situations.

Thanks

The next version doesn't use this layout file version but this one:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/export/31790/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_6_X/lib/layouts/tufte-handout.layout


very fine!

Can you please test it out? (To get it work you need to have my  
tufte-book.layout file is the same folder as the tufte-handout.layout.)


Already done. Just to give you a first response:

Your new handout layout file works more or less with the original  
sample-handout.lyx (provided once with Jürgen's old tufte-handout.layout  
on http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-handout).


More or less, because some formatations - as »newthought«, »ALL CAPS«,  
»FULL CAPITAL LETTERS, and »SmallCaps« {character style  
(Edit->TextStyle->SmallCaps)} are marked red and partly as "undefined" in  
the LyX window already and appeare in normal character stile in the  
produced pdf.


But:
With my self-produced LyX-files on basis of the old tufte-handout.cls and  
-.layout your new .layout unfortunately does not work yet, but I have to  
test it further with faked ones, because in the real ones I have some  
additions in the preamble (and special formatations within the documents)  
which might be excluded already in the new tufte-handout.cls (and  
-common.sty) and not because of your new .layout file.


The problem is, that I have to exchange everytime the files in  
LyX1.6/layouts and ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/tufte-latex/ to test it,  
continuing with my work on my existing LyX files on basis of the old  
handout cls and layout. But I will try out more.


Goutgaun!

This is because the new layout file is incompatible with the old one. One reason is to overcome the 
problems you noticed with the old version. Another one is to have one basic layout for both tufte 
document classes. (The handout call is basically the same as the book class with only a few changes.)


To make LyX files created with the old layout work, you need to open the LyX file with a text editor 
and replace

- "CharStyle:SmallCaps" with "SmallCaps"
- "CharStyle:AllCaps" with AllCaps
- "CharStyle:NewThought" with "NewThought"

All future versions of the layout file will be compatible with the current 
layout.

Btw. there is of course also an actual example file:
