Custom layout style
Hi.
I'm in the process of defining my own look to my books.
I've currently assembled a typedragon.layout and a typedragon.sty.
The .layout file is a modified book.layout. The .sty file is a modified
lshort.sty from ``The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e''.
The style of the lshort document fascinates me. I doubt I've seen anything
better. If you have or created something superior on your own, please let
me know. Or if you have any neat fonts to spice things up I'd be glad to do
anything for them.
Preamble
\usepackage{typedragon}
EndPreamble
Putting that in the premable only freezes LyX upon PDF preview.
Something must be wrong, and I'm not the girl to figure it out ;)
I'm positive there are tons of conflicts arising out of the settings in
the .sty file that are unnecessary to me. What *is* necessary to me is
visible in http://www.terrabionic.com/books. Sure, they look OK. I want
them to look GOOD ::}
With your help, that is possible. Please consider it?
Thanks! :P
Yours sincerely,

Hi all! On Tuesday 17 December 2002 19:40, Matej Cepl wrote: You are trying to beat dead horse to run. Not that LaTeX would be dead, but it is absolutely not suited for being the backend for typesetting general layouts. That's not what it was prepared for. Ok. let's try to clear some concepts, that may be a bit confused in my mind. But for the reason, that it is the same mind that is writing this very letter, I'll try to explain my ideas about the argument. What I was trying to propose would not use LaTeX to typeset general layouts. The envisioned GUI would help the user to define layouts that can be used in latex. As we all know, Latex provides a lot of commands to do this (you can define the size of a page, just to keep it simple), if it wasn't the case, then latex would just stand for a language, that enables you to write macros, and then input a text, which exits somewhere, basically unchanged. Not only it provides these commands, but it has classes that extend these commands, and others that include a number of classes. Backend may have been a wrong use of terminology of mine, so let's clear this point too. If you design a layout using for example the layouts package and then view it, you basically write a latex file, compile it with latex and view it with xdvi or dvips-gv. From another point of view, you are _just_ writing a layout which can be viewed by translating the human readeable commands _with latex_. After doing the layout (preamble to a file, .sty file or whatever) you can input the text (call the style and so on), and finally compile the document which you defined _by its content and its layout_. So you do not jump out of latex (and LyX of course, but with the restriction that lyx does not explicitly encourage the user to do it this way). And this is the point where comes in sight the typographer-designer. This may be a very stupid question, but does the typographer (I will use the term typographer to denote a person who is interested in the look of the document [a book, for example] at least as the author is in its content) really have to learn the latex terminology just to output a typographically beautiful (or not beautiful, but self-designed) book, or may there be a way to avoid this. **From some point of view LyX itself has been made to ease people's job!** Why not doing a further step on this path? May be with a program (or a menu item), that knows some classes of a (la)tex distro (maybe hard-wired) or can extend itself, or knows memoir.cls and so on and containing (maybe documented) options for those classes may do the job, by being controlled by the user trough a GUI (or form etc.). After using the GUI, you can always modify the layout by hand, if you want, but you _have something _designed_. The point is using existing classes, but easying their use. Giovanni

I can see that a WYSIWYG way of doing it might be, but layouts are very much a part of the LaTeX approach and something that let you edit layouts based more on specification basis might fit in - e.g. you can define your own paragraph environments with their own vskips, margins and whatever using a pretty interactive thing instead of devising special runes. The main disadvantage is that sorts of tweaks that users usually want to do (e.g. putting in their own centre-top fancy header) may be so wide-ranging that a structured GUI approach may not cover most of them. Clear, I think I totally aggree with you.

Its one of those things that for day to day you can just say (1,0) and

Are you shure that you are not inserting the figure into the caption? I.e., press enter after creating the float, so that a new line above the caption will be inserted. Insert the figure there. Jürgen. Thats it - thanks Jürgen. I am sure did not need to do a new line in older lyx incarnations - I just did an insert figure with the cursor lying inside the caption and it worked. The apparent fault was too gross to be missed by developers, so I assumed it would be caught - or that I was missing something obvious. I have just looked again at the UserGuide on figure floats and on captions, and the insertion of this essential new line does not jump out at me.

Hello I have a problem; i'm using SuSe 8.1 which cames with Lyx 1.2.0. I've tried to upgrade to lyx 1.2.1, but was a disaster. I used the comand rpm -ivh --upgrade --nodeps *.rpm and the system crashed totaly. I'm not able to compile the source, because the system says it has not tetex-latex or tetex-xdvi. So i have to live with the 1.2.0 until SuSe decides to make a precompiled useful. But that's Ok. The problem is that when i insert a float (figure or table) lost the caption; it is not inserted. Does anyone can give me a help? Thanks Botelho de Sousa

Custom layout style
Hi.
I'm in the process of defining my own look to my books.
I've currently assembled a typedragon.layout and a typedragon.sty.
The .layout file is a modified book.layout. The .sty file is a modified
lshort.sty from ``The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e''.
The style of the lshort document fascinates me. I doubt I've seen anything
better. If you have or created something superior on your own, please let
me know. Or if you have any neat fonts to spice things up I'd be glad to do
anything for them.
Preamble
\usepackage{typedragon}
EndPreamble
Putting that in the premable only freezes LyX upon PDF preview.
Something must be wrong, and I'm not the girl to figure it out ;)
I'm positive there are tons of conflicts arising out of the settings in
the .sty file that are unnecessary to me. What *is* necessary to me is
visible in http://www.terrabionic.com/books. Sure, they look OK. I want
them to look GOOD ::}
With your help, that is possible. Please consider it?
Thanks! :P
Yours sincerely,

Hi all! On Tuesday 17 December 2002 19:40, Matej Cepl wrote: You are trying to beat dead horse to run. Not that LaTeX would be dead, but it is absolutely not suited for being the backend for typesetting general layouts. That's not what it was prepared for. Ok. let's try to clear some concepts, that may be a bit confused in my mind. But for the reason, that it is the same mind that is writing this very letter, I'll try to explain my ideas about the argument. What I was trying to propose would not use LaTeX to typeset general layouts. The envisioned GUI would help the user to define layouts that can be used in latex. As we all know, Latex provides a lot of commands to do this (you can define the size of a page, just to keep it simple), if it wasn't the case, then latex would just stand for a language, that enables you to write macros, and then input a text, which exits somewhere, basically unchanged. Not only it provides these commands, but it has classes that extend these commands, and others that include a number of classes. Backend may have been a wrong use of terminology of mine, so let's clear this point too. If you design a layout using for example the layouts package and then view it, you basically write a latex file, compile it with latex and view it with xdvi or dvips-gv. From another point of view, you are _just_ writing a layout which can be viewed by translating the human readeable commands _with latex_. After doing the layout (preamble to a file, .sty file or whatever) you can input the text (call the style and so on), and finally compile the document which you defined _by its content and its layout_. So you do not jump out of latex (and LyX of course, but with the restriction that lyx does not explicitly encourage the user to do it this way). And this is the point where comes in sight the typographer-designer. This may be a very stupid question, but does the typographer (I will use the term typographer to denote a person who is interested in the look of the document [a book, for example] at least as the author is in its content) really have to learn the latex terminology just to output a typographically beautiful (or not beautiful, but self-designed) book, or may there be a way to avoid this. **From some point of view LyX itself has been made to ease people's job!** Why not doing a further step on this path? May be with a program (or a menu item), that knows some classes of a (la)tex distro (maybe hard-wired) or can extend itself, or knows memoir.cls and so on and containing (maybe documented) options for those classes may do the job, by being controlled by the user trough a GUI (or form etc.). After using the GUI, you can always modify the layout by hand, if you want, but you _have something _designed_. The point is using existing classes, but easying their use. Giovanni

I can see that a WYSIWYG way of doing it might be, but layouts are very much a part of the LaTeX approach and something that let you edit layouts based more on specification basis might fit in - e.g. you can define your own paragraph environments with their own vskips, margins and whatever using a pretty interactive thing instead of devising special runes. The main disadvantage is that sorts of tweaks that users usually want to do (e.g. putting in their own centre-top fancy header) may be so wide-ranging that a structured GUI approach may not cover most of them. Clear, I think I totally aggree with you.

Its one of those things that for day to day you can just say (1,0) and

Re: 1.2.[12] on rh8: .eps in float problem
Are you shure that you are not inserting the figure into the caption? I.e., press enter after creating the float, so that a new line above the caption will be inserted. Insert the figure there. Jürgen. Thats it - thanks Jürgen. I am sure did not need to do a new line in older lyx incarnations - I just did an insert figure with the cursor lying inside the caption and it worked. The apparent fault was too gross to be missed by developers, so I assumed it would be caught - or that I was missing something obvious. I have just looked again at the UserGuide on figure floats and on captions, and the insertion of this essential new line does not jump out at me. Perhaps if I read the whole thing Anyway, great, thanks.
Lyx 1.2.0
Hello I have a problem; i'm using SuSe 8.1 which cames with Lyx 1.2.0. I've tried to upgrade to lyx 1.2.1, but was a disaster. I used the comand rpm -ivh --upgrade --nodeps *.rpm and the system crashed totaly. I'm not able to compile the source, because the system says it has not tetex-latex or tetex-xdvi. So i have to live with the 1.2.0 until SuSe decides to make a precompiled useful. But that's Ok. The problem is that when i insert a float (figure or table) lost the caption; it is not inserted. Does anyone can give me a help? Thanks Botelho de Sousa

Custom layout & style
Hi.
I'm in the process of defining my own look to my books.
I've currently assembled a typedragon.layout and a typedragon.sty.
The .layout file is a modified book.layout. The .sty file is a modified
lshort.sty from ``The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e''.
The style of the lshort document fascinates me. I doubt I've seen anything
better. If you have or created something superior on your own, please let
me know. Or if you have any neat fonts to spice things up I'd be glad to do
anything for them.
Preamble
\usepackage{typedragon}
EndPreamble
Putting that in the premable only freezes LyX upon PDF preview.
Something must be wrong, and I'm not the girl to figure it out ;)
I'm positive there are tons of conflicts arising out of the settings in
the .sty file that are unnecessary to me. What *is* necessary to me is
visible in http://www.terrabionic.com/books. Sure, they look OK. I want
them to look GOOD ::}
With your help, that is possible. Please consider it?
Thanks! :P
Yours sincerely,
--janine

Not that LaTeX would be > dead, but it is absolutely not suited for being the backend for > typesetting general layouts. That's not what it was prepared for. Ok. let's try to clear some concepts, that may be a bit confused in my mind. But for the reason, that it is the same mind that is writing this very letter, I'll try to explain my ideas about the argument. What I was trying to propose would not use LaTeX to typeset general layouts. The envisioned GUI would help the user to define layouts that can be used in latex. As we all know, Latex provides a lot of commands to do this (you can define the size of a page, just to keep it simple), if it wasn't the case, then latex would just stand for a language, that enables you to write macros, and then input a text, which exits somewhere, basically unchanged. Not only it provides these commands, but it has classes that "extend" these commands, and others that include a number of classes. "Backend" may have been a wrong use of terminology of mine, so let's clear this point too. If you design a layout using for example the layouts package and then view it, you basically write a latex file, compile it with latex and view it with xdvi or dvips->gv. From another point of view, you are _just_ writing a layout which can be viewed by translating the human readeable commands _with latex_. After doing the layout (preamble to a file, .sty file or whatever) you can input the text (call the style and so on), and finally compile the document which you defined _by its content and its layout_. So you do not jump out of latex (and LyX of course, but with the restriction that lyx does not explicitly "encourage" the user to do it this way). And this is the point where comes in sight the typographer-designer. This may be a very stupid question, but does the typographer (I will use the term "typographer" to denote a person who is interested in the look of the document [a book, for example] at least as the author is in its content) really have to learn the latex terminology just to output a typographically beautiful (or not beautiful, but self-designed) book, or may there be a way to avoid this. **From some point of view LyX itself has been made to ease people's job!** Why not doing a further step on this path? May be with a program (or a menu item), that knows some classes of a (la)tex distro (maybe hard-wired) or can extend itself, or knows memoir.cls and so on and containing (maybe documented) options for those classes may do the job, by being controlled by the user trough a GUI (or form etc.). After using the GUI, you can always modify the layout by hand, if you want, but you _have something _designed_. The point is using existing classes, but easying their use. Giovanni

paragraph indenting and penalties
I've some paragraphs I'd like to indent a bit from the left margin. I checked Herbert Voss' tips page and found the following, which makes it seem there's an easy (not-ERT) way of doing this. Unfortunately, the 'more' (or 'extra') button it describes simply doesn't exist. I'm using LyX 1.2.1. http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/paragraph/margins.phtml#par Also, I've some text that's just barely spilling onto a second page. I've read the Tips page on penalties, but can't see which penalty applies to this.

If the property is attached to a paper and will need further
editing of the bibtex database, you can mark it there, e.g. with a
note = {to be published soon}

You may turn the note in boldface, I guess:

\small does works, but the difference from normal size is small, so you

For smaller sizes, you need to use \footnotesize or \scriptsize

We had a code for math shortcuts: typing <= would create \leq etc.
However, this code was not applied (why?), so this feature wouldn't appear

I have tried all (both) positions of the insertion and with/without caption and or label. The same .eps figures generate good .ps when not in a float.

Are you shure that you are not inserting the figure into the caption? I.e., press enter after creating the float, so that a new line above the caption will be inserted. Insert the figure there. Please send a minimal example file, if that does not help. Jürgen.
