When I took some single-spaced indented one-line paragraphs and  
centered them, the pdf output showed them double-spaced (or something  
like double-spaced). Why don't they remain single-spaced? Even if I  
select these centered paragraphs and choose single-space in the

Export  LaTeX produces this code:

It's not double spacing, it's interparpagraph spacing...
Either you enter a line break betwen lines to remain in the same paragraph

you redifine the interparagraph spacing.

Abstract Page Numbering and Separate Chapter Numbering

[Chris Share]

Hi,

I'm a PhD student and I'd like to use LyX for my thesis. I'm new to LyX 
(although I have written one research paper in LaTeX using 
TeXnicCenter). I've read the Introduction, Tutorial and part of the 
User's Guide.


I have two questions:

1. My document consists of a main file and separate files for each 
chapter. All files are reports. I realise that in a report class an 
abstract appears without a page number. How can I force a page number to 
appear on the abstract page/s?


2. Each chapter title is in Chapter format however because they're 
separate, each one is labelled Chapter 1. Although this doesn't affect 
the final document, I'd like to change it so that it matches the actual 
chapter number. How can I do this?


Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Chris

I think you're right about centering automatically adding a small amount 
of vertical space, but what Bruce encountered (and I can confirm) is a 
change in LyX behavior.  In LyX 1.4.2, the LyX-LaTeX conversion inserts 
a \par inside each centering environment, which LyX 1.3.7 does not.  My 
vote would be that 1.3.7's behavior was correct.

1.3.7 and 1.4.2 layouts are alike here, I don't know why this \par (blank line)

(but a LaTeX guru must know :-)

Take a look at the letter template: you will see that flushed environments

have the same displayed paragraph property as center, quote, tabbing,...)
are structured with linebreaks.

Re: mwcls documentation help

[Bob Lounsbury]

Hello,

It's not that I really have a preference as to the document class, but I
am being constrained by the regulations of a Thesis layout from the
University and I'm trying to use the document class that requires the
least amount of modification. Currently I am using the memoir class but
have still encountered a couple of formatting issues that I haven't been
able to figure out even with the 300+ page documentation for it.

I've also been experimenting with book (koma-script),
report(koma-script), and a couple of others. However, it seems that each
class has some formatting issue that I have to try and resolve and it is
becoming extremely tedious to try and read the documentation for each
class and try to modify them to my needs.

For the most part, the formatting has come down to the toc. I need
dotted leaders for all entries including chapters, toc, lof, lot, bib,
appendix, and chapter* sections or chapter sections that are not
numbered by using the \frontmatter command. Also the Appendix format in
the toc needs to be Appendix A. title . . . . . . \thepage. This is
where the mwcls has given me almost all of these formatting requirements
except the page number needs to be in the right header on every page in
the document and the toc needs to be included in the toc. Without
documentation I haven't been able to figure out how to get the page
number there. I just need to know how to change the chapter page style
to get the page number displayed in the right header using the default
myheadings pagestyle like you can in the memoir and koma-script classes.
Also, the tocbibind package doesn't seem to be compatible with this
document class to include the toc in the toc.

I have had a lot of success with the memoir class. This is actually my
preferred document class right now for my thesis. Using the
\chaptersyle{article} has given me almost everything I need. All that is
left is to have dotted leaders for chapters in the toc and to figure out
how to change the Appendix style. I need the appendix style to be
Appendix A 'title' . . . \thepage in the toc and Appendix A 'title' on
the appendix page. I've been through most of the memoir documentation
and there seems to be some way of changing the Appendix name by
\appendixname but it hasn't worked for me. I am still pretty new to all
of this so I may be missing some important step.

Any help or additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury

Abstract Page Numbering and Separate Chapter Numbering

[Chris Share]

Hi,

I'm a PhD student and I'd like to use LyX for my thesis. I'm new to LyX 
(although I have written one research paper in LaTeX using 
TeXnicCenter). I've read the Introduction, Tutorial and part of the 
User's Guide.


I have two questions:

1. My document consists of a main file and separate files for each 
chapter. All files are reports. I realise that in a report class an 
abstract appears without a page number. How can I force a page number to 
appear on the abstract page/s?


2. Each chapter title is in Chapter format however because they're 
separate, each one is labelled Chapter 1. Although this doesn't affect 
the final document, I'd like to change it so that it matches the actual 
chapter number. How can I do this?


Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Chris

But why would the inter-paragraph spacing change when the paragraphs  
are centered? Before centering, there was no extra line between the  
one-line paragraphs.


You're right, center is a so-called displayed-paragraph environment (which 
adds
space above and below at each occurrence), so this is one situation where you 
need to use line breaks
to format one single centered paragraph.
So you type in the single lines separated by C-enter, then you center the 
paragraph.

Sorry for the misleading answer.



I think you're right about centering automatically adding a small amount 
of vertical space, but what Bruce encountered (and I can confirm) is a 
change in LyX behavior.  In LyX 1.4.2, the LyX-LaTeX conversion inserts 
a \par inside each centering environment, which LyX 1.3.7 does not.  My 
vote would be that 1.3.7's behavior was correct.

Re: mwcls documentation help

[Bob Lounsbury]

Hello,

It's not that I really have a preference as to the document class, but I
am being constrained by the regulations of a Thesis layout from the
University and I'm trying to use the document class that requires the
least amount of modification. Currently I am using the memoir class but
have still encountered a couple of formatting issues that I haven't been
able to figure out even with the 300+ page documentation for it.

I've also been experimenting with book (koma-script),
report(koma-script), and a couple of others. However, it seems that each
class has some formatting issue that I have to try and resolve and it is
becoming extremely tedious to try and read the documentation for each
class and try to modify them to my needs.

For the most part, the formatting has come down to the toc. I need
dotted leaders for all entries including chapters, toc, lof, lot, bib,
appendix, and chapter* sections or chapter sections that are not
numbered by using the \frontmatter command. Also the Appendix format in
the toc needs to be Appendix A. title . . . . . . \thepage. This is
where the mwcls has given me almost all of these formatting requirements
except the page number needs to be in the right header on every page in
the document and the toc needs to be included in the toc. Without
documentation I haven't been able to figure out how to get the page
number there. I just need to know how to change the chapter page style
to get the page number displayed in the right header using the default
myheadings pagestyle like you can in the memoir and koma-script classes.
Also, the tocbibind package doesn't seem to be compatible with this
document class to include the toc in the toc.

I have had a lot of success with the memoir class. This is actually my
preferred document class right now for my thesis. Using the
\chaptersyle{article} has given me almost everything I need. All that is
left is to have dotted leaders for chapters in the toc and to figure out
how to change the Appendix style. I need the appendix style to be
Appendix A 'title' . . . \thepage in the toc and Appendix A 'title' on
the appendix page. I've been through most of the memoir documentation
and there seems to be some way of changing the Appendix name by
\appendixname but it hasn't worked for me. I am still pretty new to all
of this so I may be missing some important step.

Any help or additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury

It's not double spacing, it's interparpagraph spacing...
Either you enter a line break betwen lines to remain in the same paragraph 
(C-enter), or
you redifine the interparagraph spacing.

It is weird -- I tried to find out what is the status of support of de_CH in
LaTeX, but it seems to be pretty nonexistent (be aware, that I don't speak
German at all, so I know nearly nothing about this subtleties). Neither in
$TEXMF/tex/generic/babel/ nor in /usr/share/lyx/languages I found anything
mentioned about swiss. Try to ask here

The best language seems to me to be NGerman, but why aspell makes troubles I
don't know -- /usr/share/lyx/languages clearly indicates that the language
should be de_DE and if you have correctly installed aspell-de than its
dictionary should be present. What do you get when running

ls /usr/lib/aspell/swiss* /usr/lib/aspell/de*

?

For the most part, the formatting has come down to the toc. I need
dotted leaders for all entries including chapters, toc, lof, lot, bib,
appendix, and chapter* sections or chapter sections that are not
numbered by using the \frontmatter command. Also the Appendix format in
the toc needs to be Appendix A. title . . . . . . \thepage. This is
where the mwcls has given me almost all of these formatting requirements
except the page number needs to be in the right header on every page in
the document and the toc needs to be included in the toc. Without
documentation I haven't been able to figure out how to get the page
number there. I just need to know how to change the chapter page style
to get the page number displayed in the right header using the default
myheadings pagestyle like you can in the memoir and koma-script classes.
Also, the tocbibind package doesn't seem to be compatible with this
document class to include the toc in the toc.

I have had a lot of success with the memoir class. This is actually my
preferred document class right now for my thesis. Using the
\chaptersyle{article} has given me almost everything I need. All that is
left is to have dotted leaders for chapters in the toc and to figure out
how to change the Appendix style. I need the appendix style to be
Appendix A 'title' . . . \thepage in the toc and Appendix A 'title' on
the appendix page. I've been through most of the memoir documentation
and there seems to be some way of changing the Appendix name by
\appendixname but it hasn't worked for me. I am still pretty new to all
of this so I may be missing some important step.

Any help or additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury

Maybe there's some secret formula for doing this, but I'm not sure it's
possible, at least not without a lot more customizing of .layout files
then you want to do.

Try ERT: \pagestyle{plain}.


I tried what you suggested however the page number still doesn't appear.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

2. Each chapter title is in Chapter format however because they're
separate, each one is labelled "Chapter 1". Although this doesn't
affect the final document, I'd like to change it so that it matches
the actual chapter number. How can I do this?

Package inputenc Error

[Paul Schwartz]

LyX 1.4.1
I am probably making a mistake which I don't understand:

In a document I input the following:
part*
section*
tex\setcounter{footnote}{0}
T  X  T with some footnotes and index inputs
New page
section* with the following title N°1 b, (p.6).

Then when I try to display with PDF_(pdflatex), I got the following error 
window
--
upper part:
Package inputenc Error: keyboard character is undefined

lower part:
You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText or \DeclareInputMath 
before using this key

-

If I remove the section* after New page then there is no problem

Any Clue!

Thanks

Paul
