2 columns document with columns of different width

[Raymond Ouellette]

I would like to know if it is possible to create a document wich has 2
columns of different width, for exemple a wide column at the right side
of the page, approx 13 cm wide, and a smaller one of 4 cm at the left
side. The main text would be in the main column, and the left column
would be used only for section or subsections titles, tables titles, or
figures titles.

I tried with a reverse margin note but I lost the result if I change the
basic font of the document from time to helvetica for instance.

I'm responsible for Education Bulletins where I work and I would like to
give a try to LyX for documents such as this one:
http://www.meq.gouv.qc.ca/STAT/Bulletin/bulletin_15.pdf (225 ko in
french) or
http://www.meq.gouv.qc.ca/STAT/Bulletin/bulletin_15an.pdf (177 ko
translated in english).

Algorithm options

[Claus Hentschel]

I am using the algorithm float in LyX together with the listing package.
Most things work as I want them to use. So I am able to change the float's
name as well as the name of the list of floats with these commands in the
LyX preambel:
\floatname{algorithm}{XYZ}
\renewcommand{\listalgorithmname}{List of XYZs}

But how can I change the *numbering scheme* of algorithm floats to insert
the chapter's number? By default algotithms are just counted throuout the
document. Every time I insert
\usepackage{algorithm}[chapter]
in the preamble I got errors.

Another question is how to change the floating behaviour of that float type?
By default (reading the sty file) that float type is set to respect options
{htbp}{loa}. I want them to use {tbp} instead. (BTW: What does {loa} mean?
The float documentation -- just a README -- doesn't say anything about!)

  The dsssl stylesheets allow a greater range of customization then the old

  IIRC, You should search in the sgmltools(-lite) documentation since they
have one type of transformation that is very similar to that of linuxdoc.

 Actually I don't know. As far as I know, the output translation is
 completely different between the linuxdoc translation (using the sgml2xxx

 called by sgmltools). But, maybe I'm wrong.

  I think John is only interested in the final output. There are many people

   \renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1]

necessary?

2) Final question -- sounds very silly -- how to work with it? The
following commands are new:
- \newcommand{\@mystarttoc}[1] ...
- \newcommand{\myaddtocont}[1] ...
Does \myaddtocont add a chapter to a new TOC which can be listed with
\mystarttoc?

Help on multi reference footnote

[Flink Del Dinky]

Is it possible to refrence an existing footnote instead of creating a 
new footnote?

I tried labeling the foot note then cross-refrencing to it.  That 
actually worked except the cross-refrence was regular size text and not 
superscripted like a regular footnote.

I've looked for a superscript menu option but couldn't find one.  I 
aknow in math mode you can get superscripting by pressing the '^' key. 
But you can't do cross-refrencing in math mode.

Any ideas?

Re: Problem with Texref

[Jan Goebel]

Hi,

i'm not sure, but when using vref in tex i somtimes get a similar
error. This is because the reference is around a page break and 
LaTeX can't decide which kind of reference it has to use.
Using normal ref and pageref solve this problem.

Maybe this is also with texref? I never used texref in LyX, sorry.

I guess you meant \usepackage[chapter]{algorithm}

The problem is that lyx already loads the algorithm package without the
'chapter' option.
You have 2 options:

1. Put 'chapter' in the 'extra options' field in the document dialog.
The problem is that the chapter option may be passed to other packages,
giving you unwanted results. So it may be better to use the next option.

2. Enable AMS-math in the document dialog, and put 
'\numberwithin{algorithm}{chapter}' in the preamble.

This is a bug. It has been fixed in CVS.

 Well, you don't need to do anything. At the moment direct XML output is
 not yet available (but it should be available in version 1.2.x) but you
 can export to SGML and change only the two first lines, and it should
 work. Personnaly what I change is:
 
 !doctype book public "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN"
 
 to:
 
 ?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?
 !DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "file:///(full path)/docbookx.dtd"
 
 I know, it is not automatic, but for me it works.

You can write a (trivial) script that does this conversion,
and with lyx 1.1.6 you can define a new format (e.g. xml-docbook) and use
the script as a docbook-xml-docbook converter.

?multi-part doc update_dvi not always update?

[Nien-Po Chen]

Hi,

I'm using LyX 1.1.5 fix2.

I learn from the manual that I can do multi-part doc, and the trick to cross-
ref between different parts. They work.  However, one thing bothering me is 
that when I make some changes in one sub-doc, switch to master doc, and do
'update dvi', LyX does not do any thing, because it thinks there's no change.
If I intentionally add/delete a space to register a change in the master doc,
'update dvi' still does not do any thinkg, because LyX smartly thinks dvi is
intact.  The only work-around I can think of is to manually close/re-open 
master doc and do 'view dvi'.  This is combersome!  Any better idea?

Thanks.

Multiple TOCs

[Wolfram Pfeiffer]

Hi,

I am using LyX 1.1.6fix1.

Currently I am writing a report for university and have a document
structure that basically looks like this:

Part 1
Part 2
- Part 2.1
- Part 2.2
- Part 2.3
Part 3

Now I need one main table of contents for the whole document
looking as follows:

MAIN-TOC:
Part 1 ... Page x
Part 2 ... Page y
Part 3 ... Page z

And Part 2 needs its own sub-toc looking as follows [0]:

SUB-TOC:
Part 2 ... Page a
- Part 2.1 ... Page b
- Part 2.2 ... Page c
- Part 2.3 ... Page d

I have checked the documentation, especially the chapters 
about TOCs, Indexes, Multipart Documents and Nested 
Environments, but none seemed to do the trick.

Could someone please send some cluons on how to create
multiple TOCs (that show different parts of a document
with different levels of detail) in my direction?

- Wolfram   


[0] IMNSHO creating this sub-toc is crap because the 
whole document is only about 20 pages. But my dear 
university insists on using this weird kind of 
document structure...

Possible bug

[robin]

I was trying to revise the LyX guide I've been writing to explain how to
get non-ps images into a LyX document. I went through the normal Insert
- External Material - Rasterized image procedure. No problem - the ugly
grey box came up as expected. However, when I the clicked on the box and
clicked "View result", the program froze. I played around with this and
found it does not happen all the time.  Any ideas?

BTW, IMHO this feature, while impressive, needs to be made a little more
user-friendly.  I'm trying to push LyX in a work-environment where some
users only recently discovered the difference between the Delete and
Backspace keys, so "Rasterized" is really going to throw them!

URL's in Latex - HTML

[Stephen Carville]

I am creating some documentation using the Article layout that needs to be
exported in both HTML and PDF format.

A typical Makefile entry looks like:

solaris-security: solaris-security.lyx
lyx --export latex solaris-security.lyx
latex2html -split 4 -show_section_numbers solaris-security.tex
cd solaris-security;pdflatex ../solaris-security.tex 

This produces OK PDF but the embedded URL's in both the HTML and PDF
appear as:

  www.insecure.org http://www.insecure.org/

It doesn't matter whether I select 'HTML Type' or not. 

I tried switching to the LinuxDOC layout which fixed the URL problem in
the HTML but left the '#' in comment lines in sample scripts as

{[num  ]}

2 columns document with columns of different width

[Raymond Ouellette]

I would like to know if it is possible to create a document wich has 2
columns of different width, for exemple a wide column at the right side
of the page, approx 13 cm wide, and a smaller one of 4 cm at the left
side. The main text would be in the main column, and the left column
would be used only for section or subsections titles, tables titles, or
figures titles.

I tried with a reverse margin note but I lost the result if I change the
basic font of the document from time to helvetica for instance.

I'm responsible for Education Bulletins where I work and I would like to
give a try to LyX for documents such as this one:
http://www.meq.gouv.qc.ca/STAT/Bulletin/bulletin_15.pdf (225 ko in
french) or
http://www.meq.gouv.qc.ca/STAT/Bulletin/bulletin_15an.pdf (177 ko

Algorithm options

[Claus Hentschel]

I am using the algorithm float in LyX together with the listing package.
Most things work as I want them to use. So I am able to change the float's
name as well as the name of the list of floats with these commands in the
LyX preambel:
\floatname{algorithm}{XYZ}
\renewcommand{\listalgorithmname}{List of XYZs}

But how can I change the *numbering scheme* of algorithm floats to insert
the chapter's number? By default algotithms are just counted throuout the
document. Every time I insert
\usepackage{algorithm}[chapter]
in the preamble I got errors.

Another question is how to change the floating behaviour of that float type?
By default (reading the sty file) that float type is set to respect options
{htbp}{loa}. I want them to use {tbp} instead. (BTW: What does {loa} mean?
The float documentation -- just a README -- doesn't say anything about!)

Help on multi reference footnote

[Flink Del Dinky]

Is it possible to refrence an existing footnote instead of creating a 
new footnote?

I tried labeling the foot note then cross-refrencing to it.  That

superscripted like a regular footnote.

I've looked for a superscript menu option but couldn't find one.  I

But you can't do cross-refrencing in math mode.

Re: Problem with Texref

[Jan Goebel]

Hi,

i'm not sure, but when using vref in tex i somtimes get a similar
error. This is because the reference is around a page break and 
LaTeX can't decide which kind of reference it has to use.
Using normal ref and pageref solve this problem.

Maybe this is also with texref? I never used texref in LyX, sorry.

The problem is that lyx already loads the algorithm package without the

You have 2 options:

1. Put 'chapter' in the 'extra options' field in the document dialog.
The problem is that the chapter option may be passed to other packages,
giving you unwanted results. So it may be better to use the next option.

2. Enable AMS-math in the document dialog, and put

 Well, you don't need to do anything. At the moment direct XML output is
 not yet available (but it should be available in version 1.2.x) but you
 can export to SGML and change only the two first lines, and it should
 work. Personnaly what I change is:

 ?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?
 !DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "file:///(full path)/docbookx.dtd"
 
 I know, it is not automatic, but for me it works.

You can write a (trivial) script that does this conversion,
and with lyx 1.1.6 you can define a new format (e.g. xml-docbook) and use
the script as a docbook-xml-docbook converter.

?multi-part doc update_dvi not always update?

[Nien-Po Chen]

Hi,

I'm using LyX 1.1.5 fix2.

I learn from the manual that I can do multi-part doc, and the trick to cross-
ref between different parts. They work.  However, one thing bothering me is 
that when I make some changes in one sub-doc, switch to master doc, and do
'update dvi', LyX does not do any thing, because it thinks there's no change.
If I intentionally add/delete a space to register a change in the master doc,
'update dvi' still does not do any thinkg, because LyX smartly thinks dvi is
intact.  The only work-around I can think of is to manually close/re-open 
master doc and do 'view dvi'.  This is combersome!  Any better idea?

Multiple TOCs

[Wolfram Pfeiffer]

Hi,

I am using LyX 1.1.6fix1.

Currently I am writing a report for university and have a document
structure that basically looks like this:

Part 1
Part 2
- Part 2.1
- Part 2.2
- Part 2.3
Part 3

Now I need one main table of contents for the whole document
looking as follows:

MAIN-TOC:
Part 1 ... Page x
Part 2 ... Page y
Part 3 ... Page z

And Part 2 needs its own sub-toc looking as follows [0]:

SUB-TOC:
Part 2 ... Page a
- Part 2.1 ... Page b
- Part 2.2 ... Page c
- Part 2.3 ... Page d

I have checked the documentation, especially the chapters 
about TOCs, Indexes, Multipart Documents and Nested 
Environments, but none seemed to do the trick.

Could someone please send some cluons on how to create
multiple TOCs (that show different parts of a document
with different levels of detail) in my direction?

- Wolfram   


[0] IMNSHO creating this sub-toc is crap because the 
whole document is only about 20 pages. But my dear 
university insists on using this weird kind of 
document structure...

Possible bug

[robin]

I was trying to revise the LyX guide I've been writing to explain how to
get non-ps images into a LyX document. I went through the normal Insert
- External Material - Rasterized image procedure. No problem - the ugly
grey box came up as expected. However, when I the clicked on the box and
clicked "View result", the program froze. I played around with this and
found it does not happen all the time.  Any ideas?

BTW, IMHO this feature, while impressive, needs to be made a little more
user-friendly.  I'm trying to push LyX in a work-environment where some
users only recently discovered the difference between the Delete and
Backspace keys, so "Rasterized" is really going to throw them!

URL's in Latex - HTML

[Stephen Carville]

I am creating some documentation using the Article layout that needs to be
exported in both HTML and PDF format.

A typical Makefile entry looks like:

solaris-security: solaris-security.lyx
lyx --export latex solaris-security.lyx
latex2html -split 4 -show_section_numbers solaris-security.tex
cd solaris-security;pdflatex ../solaris-security.tex 

This produces OK PDF but the embedded URL's in both the HTML and PDF
appear as:

  www.insecure.org http://www.insecure.org/

It doesn't matter whether I select 'HTML Type' or not. 

I tried switching to the LinuxDOC layout which fixed the URL problem in
the HTML but left the '#' in comment lines in sample scripts as

{[num  ]}

2 columns document with columns of different width

[Raymond Ouellette]

I would like to know if it is possible to create a document wich has 2
columns of different width, for exemple a wide column at the right side
of the page, approx 13 cm wide, and a smaller one of 4 cm at the left
side. The main text would be in the main column, and the left column
would be used only for section or subsections titles, tables titles, or
figures titles.

I tried with a reverse margin note but I lost the result if I change the
basic font of the document from time to helvetica for instance.

I'm responsible for Education Bulletins where I work and I would like to
give a try to LyX for documents such as this one:
http://www.meq.gouv.qc.ca/STAT/Bulletin/bulletin_15.pdf (225 ko in
french) or
http://www.meq.gouv.qc.ca/STAT/Bulletin/bulletin_15an.pdf (177 ko

Algorithm options

[Claus Hentschel]

I am using the algorithm float in LyX together with the listing package.
Most things work as I want them to use. So I am able to change the float's
name as well as the name of the list of floats with these commands in the
LyX preambel:
\floatname{algorithm}{XYZ}
\renewcommand{\listalgorithmname}{List of XYZs}

But how can I change the *numbering scheme* of algorithm floats to insert
the chapter's number? By default algotithms are just counted throuout the
document. Every time I insert
\usepackage{algorithm}[chapter]
in the preamble I got errors.

Another question is how to change the floating behaviour of that float type?
By default (reading the sty file) that float type is set to respect options
{htbp}{loa}. I want them to use {tbp} instead. (BTW: What does {loa} mean?
The float documentation -- just a README -- doesn't say anything about!)

  The dsssl stylesheets allow a greater range of customization then the old
scheme with linuxdoc.

  IIRC, You should search in the sgmltools(-lite) documentation since they
have one type of transformation that is very similar to that of linuxdoc.

  I think John is only interested in the final output. There are many people

I've looked into the *.sty document. I know some LateX commands, but
that's too much. So, before using it I've some questions:

1) % erweitere Mini-TOC bei jeder \section
   \renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]
   ...
   % Aus LaTeX.ltx mit Änderungen für Mini-TOC
   \renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1]
   ...
   % Sternform ohne TOC
   \renewcommand{\@makeschapterhead}[1]
   ...
   ?? As far as I know this would change the previous layout. Is it
necessary?

2) Final question -- sounds very silly -- how to work with it? The
following commands are new:
- \newcommand{\@mystarttoc}[1] ...
- \newcommand{\myaddtocont}[1] ...
Does \myaddtocont add a chapter to a new TOC which can be listed with
\mystarttoc?

Thanks for help.

Help on multi reference footnote

[Flink Del Dinky]

Is it possible to refrence an existing footnote instead of creating a 
new footnote?

I tried labeling the foot note then cross-refrencing to it.  That 
actually worked except the cross-refrence was regular size text and not 
superscripted like a regular footnote.

I've looked for a superscript menu option but couldn't find one.  I 
aknow in math mode you can get superscripting by pressing the '^' key. 
But you can't do cross-refrencing in math mode.

Any ideas?

Instead of using \part{} at the beginning of the appendix,
use "\addtocounter{part}{1}"

Re: Problem with "Texref"

[Jan Goebel]

Hi,

i'm not sure, but when using vref in tex i somtimes get a similar
error. This is because the reference is around a page break and 
LaTeX can't decide which kind of reference it has to use.
Using normal ref and pageref solve this problem.

Maybe this is also with texref? I never used texref in LyX, sorry.

The problem is that lyx already loads the algorithm package without the
'chapter' option.
You have 2 options:

1. Put 'chapter' in the 'extra options' field in the document dialog.
The problem is that the chapter option may be passed to other packages,
giving you unwanted results. So it may be better to use the next option.

2. Enable AMS-math in the document dialog, and put 
'\numberwithin{algorithm}{chapter}' in the preamble.

You can write a (trivial) script that does this conversion,
and with lyx 1.1.6 you can define a new format (e.g. xml-docbook) and use
the script as a docbook->xml-docbook converter.

Check if you have the correct version of XForms (i.e. compiled for glibc2.1).

Maybe such a trivial thing could go in the LyX distribution as well...

Thanks Jan!
This could explain my problem! Due to the latex error output the lyx
funktion "texref" is "vref" in latex code! So I should finish the report
first and later watch out for page break problems!

the original latex definition is

\def\@makefnmark{\hbox{\@textsuperscript{\normalfont\@thefnmark}}}
therefore
\newcommand\sups[1]{\hbox{\textsuperscript{\normalfont #1}}}

and you'll get exact the same.

?multi-part doc update_dvi not always update?

[Nien-Po Chen]

Hi,

I'm using LyX 1.1.5 fix2.

I learn from the manual that I can do multi-part doc, and the trick to cross-
ref between different parts. They work.  However, one thing bothering me is 
that when I make some changes in one sub-doc, switch to master doc, and do
'update dvi', LyX does not do any thing, because it thinks there's no change.
If I intentionally add/delete a space to register a change in the master doc,
'update dvi' still does not do any thinkg, because LyX smartly thinks dvi is
intact.  The only work-around I can think of is to manually close/re-open 
master doc and do 'view dvi'.  This is combersome!  Any better idea?

Thanks.

Re: 2 columns document with columns of different width,

[Raymond Ouellette]

[fichier joint : testmarge.lyx 13020 octets]

I enclosed with this email a test lyx file with the reverse margin note.
It works with times fonts, but if I try to change the entire document to
helvetica fonts (Format-->Document-->Font properties) nothing happens.

I then select all the text and I do Format-->Caracters-->Font Family
changing it to SanSerif then I loose the reverse margin note that places
itself on the right side. Am I doing something wrong?

Multiple TOCs

[Wolfram Pfeiffer]

Hi,

I am using LyX 1.1.6fix1.

Currently I am writing a report for university and have a document
structure that basically looks like this:

Part 1
Part 2
- Part 2.1
- Part 2.2
- Part 2.3
Part 3

Now I need one main table of contents for the whole document
looking as follows:

MAIN-TOC:
Part 1 ... Page x
Part 2 ... Page y
Part 3 ... Page z

And Part 2 needs its own sub-toc looking as follows [0]:

SUB-TOC:
Part 2 ... Page a
- Part 2.1 ... Page b
- Part 2.2 ... Page c
- Part 2.3 ... Page d

I have checked the documentation, especially the chapters 
about TOCs, Indexes, Multipart Documents and Nested 
Environments, but none seemed to do the trick.

Could someone please send some cluons on how to create
multiple TOCs (that show different parts of a document
with different levels of detail) in my direction?

- Wolfram   


[0] IMNSHO creating this sub-toc is crap because the 
whole document is only about 20 pages. But my dear 
university insists on using this weird kind of 
document structure...

with this command you choose the pslatex-fonts! This command is always
behind that one from LyX layout->document->font. lppk at the exported
tex-file:

\documentclass[10pt,frenchb]{article}
\usepackage{times}   



\usepackage{pslatex}
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={titre},pdfauthor={RO - mis en forme avec
LyX},pdfpagemode=none,pdfvi
...

delete the \usepackage{pslatex} in your preamble and choose
fonts only from LyX-menu.

Someone suggested that it might be a xforms problem, so I realized
that I forgot to mention that I use xforms-0.88-3 from the rpm at
sylvan.com.

These are the outputs of gdb. The rpms are taken from sylvan.com
and all the binaries are the default ones which come with RedHat 
6.2. Usually, I don't compile anything (just imagine, on my 5 years old
486!).

Possible bug

[robin]

I was trying to revise the LyX guide I've been writing to explain how to
get non-ps images into a LyX document. I went through the normal Insert
- External Material - Rasterized image procedure. No problem - the ugly
grey box came up as expected. However, when I the clicked on the box and
clicked "View result", the program froze. I played around with this and
found it does not happen all the time.  Any ideas?

BTW, IMHO this feature, while impressive, needs to be made a little more
user-friendly.  I'm trying to push LyX in a work-environment where some
users only recently discovered the difference between the Delete and
Backspace keys, so "Rasterized" is really going to throw them!

URL's in Latex -> HTML

[Stephen Carville]

I am creating some documentation using the Article layout that needs to be
exported in both HTML and PDF format.

A typical Makefile entry looks like:

solaris-security: solaris-security.lyx
lyx --export latex solaris-security.lyx
latex2html -split 4 -show_section_numbers solaris-security.tex
cd solaris-security;pdflatex ../solaris-security.tex 

This produces OK PDF but the embedded URL's in both the HTML and PDF
appear as:

  www.insecure.org http://www.insecure.org/

It doesn't matter whether I select 'HTML Type' or not. 

I tried switching to the LinuxDOC layout which fixed the URL problem in
the HTML but left the '#' in comment lines in sample scripts as

{[num  ]}
