Re: Vertical spacing before and after subsection headings and in TOC
As an add on to the TOC problem, I also need the spacing between
individual sections to be single spaced.the default looks to be
slighly more than single but less than double spaced.
Thanks,

Hi all,

I need to know how to define the vertical spacing before and after a

[defined spacing]
1.2.2 Instrumentation

[text begins]
The code on Herbert's tip page for this does not want to work. Here is
the code for reference:
\makeatletter
\newlength{\mySpaceUnder}

{\mySpaceUnder}%

I changed 'section' to subsection in the above code. But when I try to
view the dvi output, it says the resulting document is empty. If I try
to view it a second time, I receive no error message but the changes
do not take effect. Can someone help me with this?
The second problem I am having is in the TOC. I need the vertical
space after the chapter title to be double instead of single spaced.
For example,
1 Introduction... 1
[change space here to be double instead of single]
1.1 blah.. 2
1.2 blah.. 3
I am using lyx 1.3.3 in the report class.
Any help for these two problems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I've been trying to convert one of my documents over to the ACM
proceedings format (acm_proc_article-sp.cls). I successfully created a
acm_proc_article-sp.layout file with minimal content:
--
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[acm_proc_article-sp]{article (ACM)}
Input article.layout
Columns 2
Preamble
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
EndPreamble
--
Then, I use LyX to indicate that the document is of type "article (ACM)"
and change the citation format to follow acm format. When, I try to view
the postscript, I get errors for every citation that I just don't understand:
--
Use of [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't match its definition.
... sometimes the medium is not enough \cite{
josephNacuConvergence}.
If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always
put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are
made up of letters only. The macro here has not been
followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.

What does it mean? The second and the third line are my document in TeX.
It seems that it doesn't understand \cite{}? How can I fix this?

Re: Table-float footnote and float placement
Nirmal Govind wrote: Hi.. I have a footnote within a table in a float. I used the method specified on Herbert's tips page to include the footnote within the table. I have the placement of the table float set to default placement. However, with this setting, the footnote appears on the page that preceeds the table (and the table appears at the top of the page that follows the footnote)... the problem goes away if I change the float's placement to "here definitely".. is this a LaTeX shortcoming or is there some way to get the default placement setting to work with the footnote showing up on the correct page? in general it is senseless to have footnotes in _floating_ environments. Nevertheless you can try, if the footnote is set on the same page. It is better to use a minipage inside the float and using the footnote command inside this minipage. Then you do not have any problem. If you use the H-option (a bad option for typesetting), then you do not have a floating environment and the footnote appears on the same page. Herbert

The rest get no page number at all. That's strange. If you are using a Latex-generated titlepage (by using title, author,.. paragraph styles) the first page has the pagestyle "empty" whilst the other pages have the pagestyle selected in the document preferences, i.e. plain or headings.

I assumed that this did \appendix. This is what inspired my original question. Are \appendix and \backmatter synonyms? No. The style menu lets you set a "start appendix here" marker in lyx 1.3 This changes the chapter style depending on what document class you use. It may change the chapter enumeration from: chapter 1 chapter 2 ... into appendix A appendix B ... The chapter layout probably don't change much, buth they're called appendixes from thereon. Doing \backmatter (only available as ERT) changes the chapter style further. The numbering disappear and the layout of the opening page is different. The backmatter comes after appendixes and usually contains only special things like bibliography, list of figures, and index. You usually don't want the index to be "chapter 19 - index" Helge Hafting

The field url = "http://www.isaac.cs.berkeley.edu/isaac/wep-faq.html";,
is understood by the natbib styles, AFAIR, and the date sould be written
with the corresponding fields:
year = "2003".
month = "oct, 10".
(it's not a recommended practice to fill in fields with different kinds of
information, think about field-indexing possibilities - in this case,
it's pity that the day is not a recognised field by most of the styles)
Besides, the author field should read
author = "Nikita Borisov and Ian Goldberg and David Wagner",
and the title field
title = "Security Of The {WEP} Algorithm",
if you don't want usual styles to fold WEP to lowercase (the T of The and
tha A of Algorithm will be folded because an article is only a part
of a book, so that the main words should not be capitalized - in english
bibliographic reference style of course).

Using natbib or jurabib a "native" url field is supported. Better use
the most recent release of the url package.

There is an forum for technical writers called techwr-l. It's primarly an e-mail list, but can also be read from/posted to from the web (and it exports to Usenet). It has a large membership and very useful discussion. It deals with all kinds of issues that technical writers face, from indexing to terminology to translation. There's frequently discussion of the tools technical writers on Windows use like Word, RoboHelp, and Framemaker (I've certainly learned some scary bugs they have). There's also a few of us Linux users on the list piping up occasionally, and there's been a bit of discussion lately on replacing Office with OpenOffice.org. Though there's not much discussion on Linux tools (beacuse they tend to have their own dedicated lists, like this one), we're not at all unwelcome. There are two caveats about the list. First, it's fairly high-traffic; I get between one and five dozen e-mails from it every day, and this is an issue for some poor mail clients. Second, because it's posted to the web and usenet, spammers and Windows viruses will get whatever address you post to the list with. I'm currently getting about ten Windows viruses a day (at 154k each, ack) and a a similar number of daily spams to the address I've only used for the list.
