Vectors in bold

[Merhebi, Bob]

Hello there,

I am writing this technical book; so far I've been using the overhead
vectors to represent vectors, but now I changed my mind  want to
represent vectors in bold.

Is it possible to make the change for all previous representations in
one go?

And is the easiest way to do the bold thing with the Ctrl+B or is there
an easier way?

Thanks

Sincerely Yours,

You can try writing the following in the preamble:

\renewcommand{\vec}[1]{\ensuremath{\mathbf{#1}}}

Export LyX notes/comments

[Michael Bach]

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

I understand that notes are only for the LyX documents, not the exported 
pdf documents. The comment inset exports to comment environments in tex.


I am using the presentation (beamer) class and wondered how to use one 
of the insets to export to a \note macro. Did someone set that up 
already? This would be nice because of the option to include the notes 
in the export if one wants to and also to e.g. use the nice enumerate 
markup in LyX.

Just create a new inset by copying, e.g., the comment inset, and then 
changing what needs changing. E.g., change the LaTeXName to note, and 
the name of the inset to My Note.

Thanks for the hint Richard. I read in the `Customization´ manual that I 
could add this on a per-file basis via the `Local Layout´. I tried that, 
validated it via button (validate ok) and can find it now in the 
paragraph style dropdown list.


Style MyNote
  MarginDynamic
  LatexType Command
  LatexName note
  Labelstring   MyNote:
End

I followed your advice plus changed LatexType to `Command´. I can now 
find it in the paragraph style dropdown list at the very end.


This works well for simple \note{stuff}, but I would like to be able to 
have an inset that I can insert after an itemize bullet point so that 
the LaTeX looks like


\begin{itemize}
\item one
\item2- two \note[item]2{Note about two}
\end{itemize}

So I went ahead, searched in the docs and the web. Then I tried to 
create an inset:


InsetLayout Note:MyNote
  LyXType   custom
  LabelString   MyNote:
  Decorationclassic
  MarginDynamic
  LatexType command
  LatexName note[item]
  NextNoIndent  1
  LeftMarginMMM
  RightMargin   MMM
  Align Block

  LabelSep  :x
  LabelFont
Shape   Italic
Series  Bold
Color   collapsable
  EndFont

  TextFont
Color   magenta

  EndFont
End

But I cannot find it under Insert  Note  ...

Where am I wrong?

Hi Alex,

you can add additional columns for these environments using the `Add 
column´ function in the math toolbar at the bottom of the editing 
window. A handy Shortcut is:

ALT+M C I

this can also be seen by hovering over the icon with your mouse.

If your math toolbar is not visible, make sure you have View  Toolbars

float border in latex

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all
I have a curious question: Can (table) *floats* in LaTeX have a
*border*? I would like to put a thin, possibly grey border to a table
float and I'm wondering how this could be done. (Table borders are of
no use as the table float contains R output, not traditional tables.)

Re: Uninstalling compiled-from-source Lyx

I thought that make uninstall works only if the developers wrote an 
uninstall script, which, in this case, they did not.

This is understandable-- who would want ever to /UNINSTALL/ Lyx?

I never tried to build LyX from source directory. So I don't know if the target 
uninstall works there.
I'm building LyX inside a parallel build directory. There the uninstall 
target works for me.
I've checked it with current 2.0.5 branch and 2.1.0 head version.

make uninstall should work inanycase. If it does not, there a bug.

Hi,
 you can put a float for a minbox and then put the table into the minibox.
 In minibox setting you can choose the border.

problem with continuous spellchecking

[gregor . hochschild]

Hi, 
I am having some problems with continuous spellchecking. Hunspell is set up as 
the spellchecker engine and continuous spellchecking is enabled. It works when 
I go through 'Tools - Spellchecker' and also when I right-click a word for 
suggestions. Misspelled words, however, are not underlined. Any suggestions? 

Thanks!

LyX 2.0.4 problems on Mac OSX 10.6.8

Hi. I had not updated my Lyx installation in a while. 
I downloaded lyx 2.0.4 and installed it on my 
Macbook pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8. 
All the template and example folders were empty.
I re-installed MacTex, removed Lyx, and reinstalled 
Lyx and the problem persists. 
I reconfigured Lyx and restarted Lyx but that 
did not solve the problem.
Any tips to fix this problem will be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks!

Export LyX notes/comments

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

I understand that notes are only for the LyX documents, not the exported 
pdf documents. The comment inset exports to comment environments in tex.


I am using the presentation (beamer) class and wondered how to use one 
of the insets to export to a \note macro. Did someone set that up 
already? This would be nice because of the option to include the notes 
in the export if one wants to and also to e.g. use the nice enumerate

Re: Uninstalling compiled-from-source Lyx

[UD]

I thought that make uninstall works only if the developers wrote an 
uninstall script, which, in this case, they did not.

This is understandable-- who would want ever to /UNINSTALL/ Lyx?

I'm building LyX inside a parallel build directory. There the uninstall

I've checked it with current 2.0.5 branch and 2.1.0 head version.

make uninstall should work inanycase. If it does not, there a bug.

Re: float border in latex

[Marcelo Acuña]

I have a curious question: Can (table) *floats* in LaTeX have a
*border*? I would like to put a thin, possibly grey border to a table
float and I'm wondering how this could be done. (Table borders are of
no use as the table float contains R output, not traditional tables.)


Hi,
 you can put a float for a minbox and then put the table into the minibox.
 In minibox setting you can choose the border.

problem with continuous spellchecking

[gregor . hochschild]

Hi, 
I am having some problems with continuous spellchecking. Hunspell is set up as 
the spellchecker engine and continuous spellchecking is enabled. It works when 
I go through 'Tools - Spellchecker' and also when I right-click a word for 
suggestions. Misspelled words, however, are not underlined. Any suggestions? 

Thanks!

Vectors in bold

[Merhebi, Bob]

Hello there,

I am writing this technical book; so far I've been using the overhead
vectors to represent vectors, but now I changed my mind & want to
represent vectors in bold.

Is it possible to make the change for all previous representations in
one go?

And is the easiest way to do the bold thing with the Ctrl+B or is there
an easier way?

Thanks

Export LyX notes/comments

[Michael Bach]

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

I understand that notes are only for the LyX documents, not the exported 
pdf documents. The comment inset exports to comment environments in tex.


I am using the presentation (beamer) class and wondered how to use one 
of the insets to export to a \note macro. Did someone set that up 
already? This would be nice because of the option to include the notes 
in the export if one wants to and also to e.g. use the nice enumerate 
markup in LyX.

Just create a new inset by copying, e.g., the comment inset, and then 
changing what needs changing. E.g., change the LaTeXName to "note", and 
the name of the inset to "My Note".

Thanks for the hint Richard. I read in the `Customization´ manual that I 
could add this on a per-file basis via the `Local Layout´. I tried that, 
validated it via button (validate ok) and can find it now in the 
paragraph style dropdown list.


Style MyNote
  MarginDynamic
  LatexType Command
  LatexName note
  Labelstring   "MyNote:"
End

I followed your advice plus changed LatexType to `Command´. I can now 
find it in the paragraph style dropdown list at the very end.


This works well for simple \note{stuff}, but I would like to be able to 
have an inset that I can insert after an itemize bullet point so that 
the LaTeX looks like


\begin{itemize}
\item one
\item<2-> two \note[item]<2>{Note about two}
\end{itemize}

So I went ahead, searched in the docs and the web. Then I tried to 
create an inset:


InsetLayout "Note:MyNote"
  LyXType   custom
  LabelString   "MyNote:"
  Decorationclassic
  MarginDynamic
  LatexType command
  LatexName note[item]
  NextNoIndent  1
  LeftMarginMMM
  RightMargin   MMM

  LabelSep  :x
  LabelFont
Shape   Italic
Series  Bold

Hi Alex,

you can add additional columns for these environments using the `Add 
column´ function in the math toolbar at the bottom of the editing 
window. A handy Shortcut is:

ALT+M C I

this can also be seen by hovering over the icon with your mouse.

If your math toolbar is not visible, make sure you have View > Toolbars

also, have a look into the nice Math user guide under Help > Math.
