Re: Bullet shape problem

[Yann Collete]

Yann Hello, I am currently writing a document using the article
Yann class. I want to change the bullet's shape using the popup
Yann dialog (layout-document-bullet) When I select a bullet, it as
Yann no effect on the shape of bullets in the document when viewing
Yann with ghostview or xdvi. When I Export the document to latex, I
Yann can see the following latex code in the preamble:

Yann \makeatother \AtBeginDocument{
Yann \renewcommand{\labelitemi}{\(\ast\)}
Yann \renewcommand{\labelitemii}{\(\ast\)}
Yann \renewcommand{\labelitemiv}{\(\ast\)} }

Yann But it doesn't have any effect on the shape of bullets. I am
Yann using lyx-1.1.6fix3 with tetex-1.0.?.
  Are you using a french style? They tend to redefine bullets behind
 one's back. Look for a macro to stop list redefinitions.
 
 JMarc

Yann Yes, I am using a french style. Where can I find this macro ? I
Yann the french babel class, in the article class ?

Looking at the docs, I would try to add
\bbl@nonfrenchitems

Hello,

It doesn't work. Finally, in find the doc and I see they recommand to use
\FrenchItemizeSpacingfalse
This command works but not for the first level of item.
It tried french language and frenchb.
Nothing about this in the doc. I will ask about this on the usenet tex mailing

Just make sure to switch to binary mode first.

 If this is so I think you should change the compressing format to simple

Please? There is plenty of Windows software out there that is able to
cope with .tgz flawlessly.

My personal view on this has changed from Fortunately to Unfortunately

the other thing is, it would be nice to get something which includes URL in the

Make sure every margin entry has units, such as 1.5in or 4cm. Also, make sure

Using Feedback to Find Better Results and to Improve Spidering Performance
\layout Standard

In the information retrieval literature, relevance is usually thought of
 as a boolean value-- either the result is relevant, or it isn't.
 In the classic studies of relevance feedback, a set of results to a query
 are presented to the user, and the user marks some of these as relevant
 or non-relevant.
 Terms drawn from those documents tagged as relevant are used to refine
 the query.
 This has been shown to improve the precision of retrieval (that is, the
 percentage of documents returned that are relevant).
\layout Standard

Precision and recall are useful concepts when you have a fixed number of
 documents that fit into any category.
 In that case, as is conventional in the literature, precision is defined
 as a the percentage of the retrieved documents that fall into the desired
 category (that is, are relevant to a particular information need, as defined
 by the user or a predefined expert assignment), and recall is defined as
 the percentage of the relevant documents that have been retrieved.
 In the Web context, where the number of documents in any particular category
 tends to grow monotonically over time, achieving high precision (so as
 to have a low signal-to-noise ratio for the user) and finding a large number
 of highly relevant documents, and ranking them well, is more important
 than having high overall recall, since most users won't be able to process
 any but the most highly relevant documents.
 Thus precision usually becomes more important than recall, since there
 is usually a flood of information on any topic, more than any one person
 can process.
\layout Standard

In the interest of discovering what features contribute to high levels of
 precision and high mean relevance of returned documents, I conducted the
 following experiment.
 I used a set of 500 manually-selected documents, all on public policy topics
 related to Wisconsin, 100 each on the following topics: Wisconsin Economy,
 Wisconsin Education, Wisconsin Environment, Wisconsin Government and Politics,
 and Wisconsin Health Care.
 
\layout Standard

A group of 107 student-subjects were used in the experiment, all students
 of Prof.
 Jo Ann Oravec at the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater.
 Each student was assigned to one of the categories, and was asked to rate
 each page in that category along two dimensions,

Converting ascii to lyx

[Jim Osborn]

This seems like a silly question, but I've run up against the
problem frequently enough that I thought I'd better stop and
ask the experts.  When I have a plain text document, let's
call it foo.txt that I want to convert to Lyx, say, foo.lyx
here's what I've been doing:

Create a new document, naming it foo (LyX creates foo.lyx as
expected).
Try to import the text from foo.txt, via File-Import-ASCII text as ...
At this point, the filename in LyX changes to foo.txt with
the text in question on the screen, and the entire file selected.
The text is not, at this point, actually imported to foo.lyx, though LyX
thinks both foo.txt and foo.lyx have changed.

I can Edit-Copy in foo.txt, then switch back to foo.lyx through the
Documents menu, and Edit-Paste.  

Is this really the Import procedure?  Oftentimes, I've merrily begun
editing after doing the File-Import step, only to realize I was
making changes to foo.txt (now known as foo.txt.lyx), and hadn't
actually got the text into foo.lyx.  Is there a more straightforward
procedure I should be using?

TIA

putting in the units.  That is, for the margins, typing 2 instead of
typing 2cm will not work.  (or 2in or 2pt etc)  (One of the nice
things about LyX is that it does allow you to choose multiple units very
easily, you can even mix them...)

Re: Converting ascii to lyx

[Helgi Örn]

Haven't you tried to just copy and paste? If you are using Linux you can do 
that (paste with the middle button).

 Try to import the text from foo.txt, via File-Import-ASCII text as ...
 At this point, the filename in LyX changes to foo.txt with
 the text in question on the screen, and the entire file selected.
 The text is not, at this point, actually imported to foo.lyx, though LyX
 thinks both foo.txt and foo.lyx have changed.

 I can Edit-Copy in foo.txt, then switch back to foo.lyx through the
 Documents menu, and Edit-Paste.

 Is this really the Import procedure?  Oftentimes, I've merrily begun
 editing after doing the File-Import step, only to realize I was
 making changes to foo.txt (now known as foo.txt.lyx), and hadn't
 actually got the text into foo.lyx.  Is there a more straightforward
 procedure I should be using?

Either use a normal table inside a table float, or use a longtable not in a
float.

Write \chaptermark{short heading} (in latex mode) just right after the

If you want to use import, then start lyx with no open document, and then
select file-import-ascii... This will automatically create foo.lyx

- use labels without space
- longtable has its own counter
   see http://www.lyx.org/help/table/longtable.phtml#caption

I have 3 pages longtable. Is it possible to add a table caption in 2nd and

Make sure every margin entry has units, such as 1.5in or 4cm. Also, make sure

 I'm using Lyx 1.1.6fix3 on RedHat Linux 7.1.
 
 I have a few questions/problems.
 
 In my document, I have a point at which the tables start 
 spontaneously numbering by 2 instead of one (i.e. table 12,
 table 14, table 16). Up to that point, they were numbering
 by increments of one. I have tried deleting the table floats
 and reinserting them and that didn't help. If I change the 
 document format to book from article and change all the 
 sections to chapters, it numbers the tables by chapter
 but it still skips (in this case from 5.2 to 5.4 (formerly
 12 and 14)). (However the former 16 is now 6.1 and is OK).



can you give a short example file?

 Also, is there any way to get page numbers to appear centered
 in the bottom middle of the page? And to get it to skip 
 page numbering on blank pages (skip both assigning a number
 and printing it, when in book format?)

 And I notice that long chapter titles, when printed at the top 
 of the page, tend to run into the page number if if is also
 printed at the top, creating an ugly effect. This occurs in
 chapter 4 of the User's Guide for Lyx, e.g. on page 70
 of the version I have. Is there any thing to do about this,
 other than shortening the chapter titles?

Re: question

[Matt Zeidenberg]

A short example file is attached. Note that the tables jump from
1.2 to 1.4 and that the title on the top of the page runs right
into the page number.

Thanks for looking into this. And thanks for the pointers on page
numbers.

  Hi,
  
  I have been using Lyx to write a long document (my CS PhD thesis)

  I'm using Lyx 1.1.6fix3 on RedHat Linux 7.1.
  
  I have a few questions/problems.
  
  In my document, I have a point at which the tables start 
  spontaneously numbering by 2 instead of one (i.e. table 12,
  table 14, table 16). Up to that point, they were numbering
  by increments of one. I have tried deleting the table floats
  and reinserting them and that didn't help. If I change the 
  document format to book from article and change all the 
  sections to chapters, it numbers the tables by chapter
  but it still skips (in this case from 5.2 to 5.4 (formerly
  12 and 14)). (However the former 16 is now 6.1 and is OK).
 
 
 
 can you give a short example file?
 
  Also, is there any way to get page numbers to appear centered
  in the bottom middle of the page? And to get it to skip 
  page numbering on blank pages (skip both assigning a number

  printed at the top, creating an ugly effect. This occurs in
  chapter 4 of the User's Guide for Lyx, e.g. on page 70

Using Feedback to Find Better Results and to Improve Spidering Performance
\layout Standard

In the information retrieval literature, relevance is usually thought of
 as a boolean value-- either the result is relevant, or it isn't.
 In the classic studies of relevance feedback, a set of results to a query
 are presented to the user, and the user marks some of these as relevant
 or non-relevant.
 Terms drawn from those documents tagged as relevant are used to refine
 the query.
 This has been shown to improve the precision of retrieval (that is, the
 percentage of documents returned that are relevant).
\layout Standard

Precision and recall are useful concepts when you have a fixed number of
 documents that fit into any category.
 In that case, as is conventional in the literature, precision is defined
 as a the percentage of the retrieved documents that fall into the desired
 category (that is, are relevant to a particular information need, as defined
 by the user or a predefined expert assignment), and recall is defined as
 the percentage of the relevant documents that have been retrieved.
 In the Web context, where the number of documents in any particular category
 tends to grow monotonically over time, achieving high precision (so as
 to have a low signal-to-noise ratio for the user) and finding a large number
 of highly relevant documents, and ranking them well, is more important
 than having high overall recall, since most users won't be able to process
 any but the most highly relevant documents.
 Thus precision usually becomes more important than recall, since there
 is usually a flood of information on any topic, more than any one person
 can process.
\layout Standard

In the interest of discovering what features contribute to high levels of
 precision and high mean relevance of returned documents, I conducted the
 following experiment.
 I used a set of 500 manually-selected documents, all on public policy topics
 related to Wisconsin, 100 each on the following topics: Wisconsin Economy,
 Wisconsin Education, Wisconsin Environment, Wisconsin Government and Politics,
 and Wisconsin Health Care.
 
\layout Standard

A group of 107 student-subjects were used in the experiment, all students
 of Prof.
 Jo Ann Oravec at the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater.
 Each student was assigned to one of the categories, and was asked to rate
 each page in that category along two dimensions,

Converting ascii to lyx

[Jim Osborn]

This seems like a silly question, but I've run up against the
problem frequently enough that I thought I'd better stop and
ask the experts.  When I have a plain text document, let's
call it foo.txt that I want to convert to Lyx, say, foo.lyx
here's what I've been doing:

Create a new document, naming it foo (LyX creates foo.lyx as
expected).
Try to import the text from foo.txt, via File-Import-ASCII text as ...
At this point, the filename in LyX changes to foo.txt with
the text in question on the screen, and the entire file selected.
The text is not, at this point, actually imported to foo.lyx, though LyX
thinks both foo.txt and foo.lyx have changed.

I can Edit-Copy in foo.txt, then switch back to foo.lyx through the
Documents menu, and Edit-Paste.  

Is this really the Import procedure?  Oftentimes, I've merrily begun
editing after doing the File-Import step, only to realize I was
making changes to foo.txt (now known as foo.txt.lyx), and hadn't
actually got the text into foo.lyx.  Is there a more straightforward
procedure I should be using?

TIA

If you want to use import, then start lyx with no open document, and then
select file-import-ascii... This will automatically create foo.lyx

Please? There is plenty of Windows software out there that is able to

My personal view on this has changed from "Fortunately" to "Unfortunately"
during the last few months(!). At least I am not willing to accept that
kind of argument as incentive to change anything.

Don't ask me why, I am not sure about it either, and it was probably not
some kind of rational process.

This idea has been mentioned rather often, in some personal messages too.
I have downloaded the file using Netscape 4.73, as usual. NN never
produced any problems on my system when using it for downloads. Besides
Netscape there are Internet Explorer 5.5 and StarOffice 5.2 available on
my system. As I have to work with Windows, would you suggest to repeat
download with one of those clients instead? Are there any particular
options I have to choose?

Again, this is the first time I have trouble of this kind.

TIA!

Juergen.

only one remark:
if you are able to get it with wget than try

wget http://www.perce.de/lyx/LyXTips.tgz

anyway, there is also a zip version

http://www.perce.de/lyx/LyXTips.zip


let me know if you want to use it more often,
than I'll update it together with the tgz version.

Changing Document Margins

[Vern Kyle]

I am trying to change the margins of my document.  When I go to
Layout-->Document-->Paper I can see the options of where to change the
margins, but I am unable to Apply (or "OK") these changes.  Am I missing
something with this?  

Thanks for the help,

Make sure every margin entry has units, such as 1.5in or 4cm. Also, make sure 
you check the "use geometry" checkbox.

activate button "use geometry" and insert the values with

a valid unit like "1cm"

Enter the citation using bibtex (using plainnat bibliography style),

Using Feedback to Find Better Results and to Improve Spidering Performance
\layout Standard

In the information retrieval literature, relevance is usually thought of
 as a boolean value-- either the result is relevant, or it isn't.
 In the classic studies of relevance feedback, a set of results to a query
 are presented to the user, and the user marks some of these as relevant
 or non-relevant.
 Terms drawn from those documents tagged as relevant are used to refine
 the query.
 This has been shown to improve the precision of retrieval (that is, the
 percentage of documents returned that are relevant).
\layout Standard

Precision and recall are useful concepts when you have a fixed number of
 documents that fit into any category.
 In that case, as is conventional in the literature, precision is defined
 as a the percentage of the retrieved documents that fall into the desired
 category (that is, are relevant to a particular information need, as defined
 by the user or a predefined expert assignment), and recall is defined as
 the percentage of the relevant documents that have been retrieved.
 In the Web context, where the number of documents in any particular category
 tends to grow monotonically over time, achieving high precision (so as
 to have a low signal-to-noise ratio for the user) and finding a large number
 of highly relevant documents, and ranking them well, is more important
 than having high overall recall, since most users won't be able to process
 any but the most highly relevant documents.
 Thus precision usually becomes more important than recall, since there
 is usually a flood of information on any topic, more than any one person
 can process.
\layout Standard

In the interest of discovering what features contribute to high levels of
 precision and high mean relevance of returned documents, I conducted the
 following experiment.
 I used a set of 500 manually-selected documents, all on public policy topics
 related to Wisconsin, 100 each on the following topics: Wisconsin Economy,
 Wisconsin Education, Wisconsin Environment, Wisconsin Government and Politics,
 and Wisconsin Health Care.

A group of 107 student-subjects were used in the experiment, all students

Converting ascii to lyx

[Jim Osborn]

This seems like a silly question, but I've run up against the
problem frequently enough that I thought I'd better stop and
ask the experts.  When I have a plain text document, let's
call it "foo.txt" that I want to convert to Lyx, say, "foo.lyx"
here's what I've been doing:

Create a new document, naming it "foo" (LyX creates "foo.lyx" as
expected).
Try to import the text from foo.txt, via File->Import->ASCII text as ...
At this point, the filename in LyX changes to "foo.txt" with
the text in question on the screen, and the entire file "selected."
The text is not, at this point, actually "imported" to foo.lyx, though LyX
thinks both foo.txt and foo.lyx have changed.

I can Edit->Copy in foo.txt, then switch back to foo.lyx through the
Documents menu, and Edit->Paste.  

Is this really the Import procedure?  Oftentimes, I've merrily begun
editing after doing the File->Import step, only to realize I was
making changes to foo.txt (now known as foo.txt.lyx), and hadn't
actually got the text into foo.lyx.  Is there a more straightforward
procedure I should be using?

TIA

Classic mistake (I did it too) -- putting in the numbers, without
putting in the units.  That is, for the margins, typing "2" instead of
typing "2cm" will not work.  (or 2in or 2pt etc)  (One of the nice
things about LyX is that it does allow you to choose multiple units very
easily, you can even mix them...)

Do not use longtables inside table floats!
Either use a normal table inside a table float, or use a longtable not in a
float.

Write \chaptermark{} (in latex mode) just right after the
chapter title.

If you want to use import, then start lyx with no open document, and then
select file->import->ascii... This will automatically create foo.lyx

- use labels without space
- longtable has its own counter
   see http://www.lyx.org/help/table/longtable.phtml#caption
   this occurs problems in counting.
- don't use longtable in a float, because floats can't have
   pagebreak. use package nonfloat, if you need the caption

I have 3 pages longtable. Is it possible to add a table caption in 2nd and
the 3rd page table not in the table cell? I have tried to insert the
following table caption in the cell as a header and first header:

\centerline{Table \stepcounter{table}\thetable: electrum-kc.csv}

the result is the number of table starting with 2 (instead of 1). Both of
the 2nd and 3rd page have the same number. Is there any trick to change
it? I don't know why the number is starting with 2...

Thank in advanced.

[I would suggest generally using 'wget' for downloads from the net. Should
be available for Windows, too.]

Apart from that, you have plenty hints that the archive is indeed
corrupted. As all others who tried the archive did not mention problems,
so a new download, possibly after deleting all traces of the previous one,
sounds like a promising approach.
