 Hi all,

 While making a brochure I discovered this document:
 /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/fancyhdr/fancyhdr.dvi

 If you've ever wanted your headers and footers to do EXACTLY what
 you want them to do, this is the resource you need.

In fact digging around the texfm documentation often reveals little 
treasures that aren't always covered (or are covered only briefly) in 
the LyX documentation.

Duplicate the bibliography in the chapter files and set to Comment-Style

Add the following command in ERT before the title page.

\pagenumbering{Roman}

 3. i want the toc to be numbered with capital letters (A, B, C, ...).

Instead of placing the ToC with the LyX menus add the following in ERT:

\tableofcontents \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\pagenumbering{Alph}}

 4. i want the content to be numbered with numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, ...).

How to place a frame (visible on the screen) around a displayed equation with a label

2002-02-19 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello,

I would like to place a frame (visible on the screen) around an equation which is 
displayed (not inline). I have tried a table with one cell and it works fine but there 
is one big problem : I can't insert a label for that equation (the label command is 
inactive then) !

Is there another solution than \boxed{} (which do not display the frame on the screen) 
?

You probably want to create a special environment using a minipage.
This is what I use in my layout file for framed text  - you'd have to edit it 
for equations, but you could use something similar to make an inlined 
equation look like a displayed equation.

Better you make your own bst with makebst package and combined with

 I am doing a similar thing, except that I have put the chapter1.lyx

 It seemed a good idea at the time: it allows me to manage all the
 files that go into the figures in a reasonable way.
 
 In the main lyx file, I can use Input introduction/chapter.lyx, and
 it all just works.  What doesn't work is the figures which, of course,
 are in the subdirs.  I'm mostly using eps files for the figures and
 using insert-figure.  While editing introduction/chapter.lyx,
 this works fine and I can see the preview etc.

I'm just guessing, but I bet if you insert the figure as 
introduction/figure.eps instead of figure.eps it'll work fine from 
the main lyx source and not while editing introduction/chapter.lyx.

 It doesn't work when I try to generate the PS file from the main lyx
 source.  Latex complains that it can't find the figure file.  I have
 resorted to setting TEXINPUTS, which seems sub-optimal since it is a
 global setting.  Also, after starting the third chapter, changing
 TEXINPUTS is getting tedious ...
 
 I'm sure there is some preamble magic to make this work, but I

We have now reached the limit of my knowledge of lyxserver :(


 I found the section in the manual (Chapter 4 of Customization).

 The example in your reference and the ones in the manual
 haven't worked exactly as described - but I have started
 burrowing into the src. The relevant files seem to be:
  LyXAction.C and lyxserver.C.

 when I print LYXCMD:test:file-open:/path/to/myfile  ~/.lyxpipe.in
 the command is echoed back exactly
  on ~/.lyxpipe.out
 The manual said it should reply
 INFO:test:file-open:data (I am getting back LYXCMD instead of INFO)
 LyX is not executing the file-open.

 So I am doing something wrong!


I have no idea.


 There is a reference to development/server_monitor.c
 Does anyone know how I can get this?

Try development/lyxserver/ instead.  That's where it is in 1.2.0cvs
anyway not sure about 1.1.6.  There are a couple of tarballs of perl
code there also.

 You can define your own keybinding for this if you need it quite often. Or
 you copy the attached gm.bind to your ~/.lyx/bind directory, edit to your
 personal taste and set it in the settings menu as bind-file.  Then,
 Alt-Shift-Return should do the desired action. (The desired
 binding is the last line in gm.bind, you can also just copy this to your

Thanks I'll try that.

How to place a frame (visible on the screen) around a displayed equation with a label

Hello,

I would like to place a frame (visible on the screen) around an equation which is 
displayed (not inline). I have tried a table with one cell and it works fine but there 
is one big problem : I can't insert a label for that equation (the label command is 
inactive then) !

Is there another solution than \boxed{} (which do not display the frame on the screen) 
?

You probably want to create a special environment using a minipage.
This is what I use in my layout file for framed text  - you'd have to edit it 
for equations, but you could use something similar to make an inlined

Better you make your own bst with makebst package and combined with

 I am doing a similar thing, except that I have put the chapter1.lyx

 It seemed a good idea at the time: it allows me to manage all the
 files that go into the figures in a reasonable way.
 
 In the main lyx file, I can use Input introduction/chapter.lyx, and
 it all just works.  What doesn't work is the figures which, of course,
 are in the subdirs.  I'm mostly using eps files for the figures and
 using insert-figure.  While editing introduction/chapter.lyx,
 this works fine and I can see the preview etc.

I'm just guessing, but I bet if you insert the figure as 
introduction/figure.eps instead of figure.eps it'll work fine from 
the main lyx source and not while editing introduction/chapter.lyx.

 It doesn't work when I try to generate the PS file from the main lyx
 source.  Latex complains that it can't find the figure file.  I have
 resorted to setting TEXINPUTS, which seems sub-optimal since it is a
 global setting.  Also, after starting the third chapter, changing
 TEXINPUTS is getting tedious ...
 
 I'm sure there is some preamble magic to make this work, but I
 couldn't figure it out.  Any pointer or tip would be appreciated!

While we're on this subject, I thought I'd drop a suggestion for future 
versions of LyX. It's also related to multipart documents. Currently, 
when adding a cross reference to a section that is in another file you 
have to use ERT \vref{sec:whatever}. Along with checking for 
bibliographies as mentioned above, it would be nice to check for labels 
as well.

I know it's not simple, as that would imply reading (if not opening) all 
the lyx files in the document. But I thought adding it to the end of the 
wish list would do no harm.

Page Breaks

Actually, not an idiot - just a victim of a LaTeXism. The LaTeX gurus

powerful things; someone new to LyX (with no LaTeX background) will have
no clue what the difference between Section and Section* is.

In fact digging around the texfm documentation often reveals little

Add the following command in ERT before the title page.

Instead of placing the ToC with the LyX menus add the following in ERT:

You probably want to create a special environment using a minipage.
This is what I use in my layout file for framed text  - you'd have to edit it 
for equations, but you could use something similar to make an inlined

Someone has posted one solution.  There is another work-around that
I think I found on the lyx "tips and tricks" pages.

1. Open the main.lyx file.
2. Open the citation pop-up (i.e. pretend you are going to insert 
   a citation, but don't click "close" or "OK")
3. Open the chapter1.lyx.

Now you can insert citations using the bibliography from main.

It would be nice if whatever step #2 is doing got done automatically
upon loading main.lyx...

Better you make your own bst with makebst package and combined with
natbib.sty. That is quiet easier. I don't know what kind of bibstyle to
produce this style bibliography do you want.

The complete makebst and newest natbib package can be dl from following URL.

I read that too, but when open chapter1.lyx the citation pop-up is 
automatically closed (1.1.6fix4).

I'm just guessing, but I bet if you insert the figure as 
"introduction/figure.eps" instead of "figure.eps" it'll work fine from 
the main lyx source and not while editing "introduction/chapter.lyx".

I don't know about this style, but I would suggest

@InCollection{bren95,
  Author = "{Brenner, C.F.} and {Hamm, V.}",
  Title  = "Prinzipien des Business reengineering",
  BookTitle  = "Business Reengineering mit Standardsoftware",
  Publisher  = "Robert Appleton Company",

True.  You just have to open another citation popup once
you're editing "chapter1.lyx".

Don't know geralpha, but normally one handles these situations using 
@incollection or @inbook. I usually make a crossref from the article to the 
book in which it appears.

While we're on this subject, I thought I'd drop a suggestion for future 
versions of LyX. It's also related to multipart documents. Currently, 
when adding a cross reference to a section that is in another file you 
have to use ERT "\vref{sec:whatever}". Along with checking for 
bibliographies as mentioned above, it would be nice to check for labels 
as well.

I know it's not simple, as that would imply reading (if not opening) all 
the lyx files in the document. But I thought adding it to the end of the 
wish list would do no harm.

Page Breaks

Hello,

I would like to have my outline and bibliography on separate pages, instead 
of on the same page my article is on.  Is there a way I can do this in LyX

Actually, not an idiot - just a victim of a "LaTeXism". The LaTeX gurus
among us know that starred versions of LaTeX commands do interesting and
powerful things; someone new to LyX (with no LaTeX background) will have
no clue what the difference between Section and Section* is.

Devvies - what about the possibility of changing "Section*" to "Unnumbered
Section", etc.? Granted you might have to make the menu panel wider ...

citation references between files

2002-02-19 Thread Davide Cavallari

I'm using bibtex for my references. From the web page

http://www.lyx.org/help/bibtex/bibtex.php3 

I read:

Bibliography for each Chapter

[...]

with the gather option you'll get a bib for each chapter at the end of the
main-doc. without gather at the end of each chapter.

What this "gather  option" is? Infact I  get a bibliography at  the end of
each chapter..
