Some formatting questions
Hi all, I'm new to Lyx, and and some questions regarding how the layout looks after conversion to PDF. I realize that a page number is added to the PDF file. How do I remove that? Is there a way to reduce the margins in the PDF file? I'm forced to write some of my expressions on the second line because the left and right margins are too narrow. Lastly, is there a way to increase the font size of the text/symbols in the PDF file? Thank you! Regards, Rayne Shape Yahoo! in your own image.

The solution is to go to to Document --> Settings ... --> Bibliography and then check "Sectioned bibliography". The Content line in the bibliography settings box then becomes active and I can choose to include all references. Thanks for the help! Andrew

I didn't find any examples in the arabi package, but I wrote my own.
Apparently the error occurs when using the babel package:
This compiles fine:
\documentclass[farsi,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8,latin9]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
hello
\end{document}
But if I try to use a command from farsi, such as \alefhamza, I get a
babel error: (even if I don't use babel, which is odd:)
Package babel Error: You haven't loaded the option english yet.
If I add
\usepackage{babel}
I get
LaTeX Error: Encoding scheme `LAE' unknown.
But apparently the solution is to modify the options for fontenc and
babel as follows:
\usepackage[LFE,LAE,OT1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[farsi,english]{babel}
So LyX should generate these instead of the default
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
Nevertheless, LaTeX does give some warnings:
"LaTeX Font Warning: Encoding `LFE' has changed to `OT1' for symbol font.

Primary: american
Secondary: farsi
Default language: English
Things seem to go awry when the language is switched, regardless of
whether keyboard maps are on or off.
Here's the recipe:
1. Open new document
2. type some text, including punctuation symbols
3. Set language to Farsi (Edit->Test Style->Customize->Language set to Farsi)
4. Type some text.
5. Set language to English or American (Edit->Test
Style->Customize->Language set to English)
6. Type text. Punctuation symbols are now wrong.

Okay, it would help me - I want to line-up the heading of the poem with the left edge of text (when a poem is left justified.) Is there a better way to layout poetry? This slash renewcommand business is tedious. \d snippet.lyx Description: application/lyx

Re: Help with part name indentation in TOC
D.Zorig wrote: Please help me with TOC. I have 2 rows of Part name (ctrl+enter). But in pdf output 2nd row of part name is not indented to align with first row. Multiple row Chapter names are indented and aligned just fine. How can I have multiple row part name indented and aligned in TOC. In DVI output multiple row part and chapter name are shown in one row in TOC. First, why do you have two rows in the part name? This is the kind of thing one usually leaves to LaTeX, rather than customizing it with Ctrl+Enter. So I'm not surprised the display in the TOC isn't as you wanted it to be. So, that said, to get it to align as you want, you'll have to edit the document class (or, possibly, use a different one). What document class are you using? Richard

I am on Kubuntu Dapper, using Lyx 1.5.1 (I installed it from a .deb).
I am using the memoir class because I am laying out poetry and I have
managed to get it more-or-less the way I want it from the memman.pdf
document. (Perhaps there's a better way to layout poems, but that's
another thread.)
At the moment, I want to prevent the very first page (title page) of
the book from having a page number -- at all.
At the top of the first page, do: Insert>ERT, and then type
"\thispagestyle{empty}". This is the LaTeX command for an "empty" page
style---no header, no footer.

Uncheck "Use language's default encoding" and select "utf8" (not "UTF8" or "utf8x") in the encoding checkbox. If you could find out which character/symbol in your document causes this, we could try and implement support in LyX. (or just send me the document in private, if this is OK with you). Jürgen

Hi, I'm using LyX 1.5.1. When I try to view my document in PDF(pdflatex), a dialog box opens saying that changing the document encoding to utf8 could help.
