 This is undesirable.

 How can I keep all lines of a paragraph together?

Put the paragraph in a parbox or minipage.  InsertBox, configure with
right-click on the handle (width = columnwidth).

qui utiliser, asymptote, tikz?

[abdelkader belahcene]

Bonjour,

 J ai longtemps utilisé xfig pour obtenir mes schemas, mais je voudrais
quelquechose de plus automatique,
par exemple au lieu de dessiner la courbe sinus manuellement gnuplot le fait
beaucoup mieux et plus vite.

J ai pensé utiliser asymptote ou tikz,  ou peut etre un autre?   Si
quelqu'un a un idee precise sur les avantages de chacun et quand il est
utile d'utiliser l'un ou l'autre.
De plus je voudrais l'utiliser apres a partir de Lyx d'une facon ou d'une
autre.

TOC spaces with alnumsec / no new page after chapter(part) / space after and before captions / one and half spacing (word)

[Axel]

Hello guys,

I've stated using lyx about two months ago, and mostly try to help myself
via internet and Koma-Script documentation, but I'm still a beginner and
lack some understanding with latex. This is a long email with a lot of
information for 4 problems. Please tell me if it would be wiser to split it
up in four emails.

For my momentary homework I'stuck with a couple of problems I can't find a
satisfying solution. I hope you can help me on these. There are some fixed
layout rules for German law homeworks, I'll need to stick to them, even
though they screw up the layout.

I use document-class: report (koma-script). The version is the repository
installed somewhat older version of koma for Ubuntu.

Problem 1:
I use the package alnumsec to change the caption numbering the way I need
it. This increases the space in the the space between number and title in
the table of contents, how can I undo this (the annex picture should clarify
my problem).

Preamble:

\usepackage{alnumsec}

\surroundarabic[(][)]{}{.}

\otherseparators{6}

\alnumsecstyle{LRnldg}

Problem 2:
As I need a lot of sections for a law homework, I need to use chapter and if
possible part as additional sections. I have a maximum space of 25 pages, so
space is limited. How can I stop chapter and part from starting a new page.

Problem 3:
Out of the same reason as Problem 2 I want to limit space before and after
all captions to the normal space between lines. My goal is font size 12,
bold, OneHalf space between lines for all captions (From part to
subparagraph).
I use smallheading as a documentclass - option upto now, but it still
takes too much space. I've tried renewcommand for the space before and after
chapter, but I'd like to understand how I can tell lyx to reduce spaces to
the OneHalf line spacing in the normal text:

\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace{-1.0cm}}

\renewcommand*{\chapterheadendvskip}{\vspace{0.5cm}}

Problem 4:
As it is required I need the OneHhalf space between all lines Open Office
and word use. Now if I use font size 12 Times Roman and OneHalf line
spacing in lyx, and Times New Roman and OneHalf line spacing in Open
Office I get different line spaces if the document is exported as a pdf. I
tried using setspace, but it didn't change to the required space:

\usepackage{setspace}

\onehalfspacing

Is this a known problem? Otherwise I'll just set the line spacing to an
individual distance, after visual judgement.

Sorry for the long mail. I'd be really grateful if someone could help me
out.

Thanks ahead,

Axel

You can find several such examples in the layout files that come with 
LyX. Documentation is in chapter five of the Customization manual. The 
hard part is to figure out what LaTeX you want to generate. You can do 
this by doing it in LyX as Guenter suggested, then using ViewSource to 
see what LaTeX that produces. Then you can define your layout to 
generate that LaTeX. E.g., something like:


Style Member
CopyStyle Standard
LaTeXType Environment
LaTeXName member
Preamble
\newenvironment{member}{...beginning code...}{...ending code...}
EndPreamble
EndStyle

This could be prettied up, but just that much will work.

In particular, if the goal is to have that for all paragraphs (or many
ones), I'd suggest to look at widows/orphans:

This is something that LyX should support natively, IMO.

Why is the heading of the Preface showing List of figures ?

[Miguel Rubio-Roy]

Hi all,
 I've tried to isolate this problem I've found on a large tex file,
but I don't manage to find where the problem is.

 What happens is the heading of the second page of the Preface shows
List of figures, when it should be showing Preface.

BTW, sorry by the slight off-topic of this thread (latex on a lyx list). I'm

Actually, assuming your class provides it, you should probably just use: 
\chaptermark{Your Title}. This calls \markboth or \markright, etc, as 
the case may be, and does whatever formatting is necessary.

Put the paragraph in a parbox or minipage.  InsertBox, configure with
right-click on the handle (width = columnwidth).

   
And if you're doing a lot of these, it'll definitely be worth defining a 
paragraph layout that will do this automatically.

TOC spaces with alnumsec / no new page after chapter(part) / space after and before captions / one and half spacing (word)

[Axel]

Hello guys,

I've stated using lyx about two months ago, and mostly try to help myself
via internet and Koma-Script documentation, but I'm still a beginner and
lack some understanding with latex. This is a long email with a lot of
information for 4 problems. Please tell me if it would be wiser to split it
up in four emails.

For my momentary homework I'stuck with a couple of problems I can't find a
satisfying solution. I hope you can help me on these. There are some fixed
layout rules for German law homeworks, I'll need to stick to them, even
though they screw up the layout.

I use document-class: report (koma-script). The version is the repository
installed somewhat older version of koma for Ubuntu.

Problem 1:
I use the package alnumsec to change the caption numbering the way I need
it. This increases the space in the the space between number and title in
the table of contents, how can I undo this (the annex picture should clarify
my problem).

Preamble:

\usepackage{alnumsec}

\surroundarabic[(][)]{}{.}

\otherseparators{6}

\alnumsecstyle{LRnldg}

Problem 2:
As I need a lot of sections for a law homework, I need to use chapter and if
possible part as additional sections. I have a maximum space of 25 pages, so
space is limited. How can I stop chapter and part from starting a new page.

Problem 3:
Out of the same reason as Problem 2 I want to limit space before and after
all captions to the normal space between lines. My goal is font size 12,
bold, OneHalf space between lines for all captions (From part to
subparagraph).
I use smallheading as a documentclass - option upto now, but it still
takes too much space. I've tried renewcommand for the space before and after
chapter, but I'd like to understand how I can tell lyx to reduce spaces to
the OneHalf line spacing in the normal text:

\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace{-1.0cm}}

\renewcommand*{\chapterheadendvskip}{\vspace{0.5cm}}

Problem 4:
As it is required I need the OneHhalf space between all lines Open Office
and word use. Now if I use font size 12 Times Roman and OneHalf line
spacing in lyx, and Times New Roman and OneHalf line spacing in Open
Office I get different line spaces if the document is exported as a pdf. I
tried using setspace, but it didn't change to the required space:

\usepackage{setspace}

\onehalfspacing

Is this a known problem? Otherwise I'll just set the line spacing to an
individual distance, after visual judgement.

Sorry for the long mail. I'd be really grateful if someone could help me
out.

Thanks ahead,

Axel

You can find several such examples in the layout files that come with 
LyX. Documentation is in chapter five of the Customization manual. The 
hard part is to figure out what LaTeX you want to generate. You can do 
this by doing it in LyX as Guenter suggested, then using ViewSource to 
see what LaTeX that produces. Then you can define your layout to 
generate that LaTeX. E.g., something like:


Style Member
CopyStyle Standard
LaTeXType Environment
LaTeXName member
Preamble
\newenvironment{member}{...beginning code...}{...ending code...}
EndPreamble
EndStyle

This could be prettied up, but just that much will work.

In particular, if the goal is to have that for all paragraphs (or many
ones), I'd suggest to look at widows/orphans:

This is something that LyX should support natively, IMO.

Why is the heading of the Preface showing List of figures ?

[Miguel Rubio-Roy]

Hi all,
 I've tried to isolate this problem I've found on a large tex file,
but I don't manage to find where the problem is.

 What happens is the heading of the second page of the Preface shows
List of figures, when it should be showing Preface.

It's normally used with the myheadings page style, not any special 
package. But it's a standard LaTeX command and can be used any time you 
like.


Actually, assuming your class provides it, you should probably just use: 
\chaptermark{Your Title}. This calls \markboth or \markright, etc, as 
the case may be, and does whatever formatting is necessary.

Sorry, I wrote package instead of page style.

The error message suggests that you have a Euro sign somewhere in your text 
and that LaTeX does not know how to deal with it. However,

Do you happen to use a utf8-encoded bibtex file? If so, look here:

Put the paragraph in a parbox or minipage.  Insert>Box, configure with

And if you're doing a lot of these, it'll definitely be worth defining a

TOC spaces with alnumsec / no new page after chapter(part) / space after and before captions / one and half spacing (word)

[Axel]

Hello guys,

I've stated using lyx about two months ago, and mostly try to help myself
via internet and Koma-Script documentation, but I'm still a beginner and
lack some understanding with latex. This is a long email with a lot of
information for 4 problems. Please tell me if it would be wiser to split it
up in four emails.

For my momentary homework I'stuck with a couple of problems I can't find a
satisfying solution. I hope you can help me on these. There are some fixed
layout rules for German law homeworks, I'll need to stick to them, even
though they screw up the layout.

I use document-class: report (koma-script). The version is the repository
installed somewhat older version of koma for Ubuntu.

Problem 1:
I use the package alnumsec to change the caption numbering the way I need
it. This increases the space in the the space between number and title in
the table of contents, how can I undo this (the annex picture should clarify
my problem).

Preamble:

\usepackage{alnumsec}

\surroundarabic[(][)]{}{.}

\otherseparators{6}

\alnumsecstyle{LRnldg}

Problem 2:
As I need a lot of sections for a law homework, I need to use chapter and if
possible part as additional sections. I have a maximum space of 25 pages, so
space is limited. How can I stop chapter and part from starting a new page.

Problem 3:
Out of the same reason as Problem 2 I want to limit space before and after
all captions to the normal space between lines. My goal is font size 12,
bold, OneHalf space between lines for all captions (From part to
subparagraph).
I use "smallheading" as a documentclass - option upto now, but it still
takes too much space. I've tried renewcommand for the space before and after
chapter, but I'd like to understand how I can tell lyx to reduce spaces to
the OneHalf line spacing in the normal text:

\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace{-1.0cm}}

\renewcommand*{\chapterheadendvskip}{\vspace{0.5cm}}

Problem 4:
As it is required I need the OneHhalf space between all lines Open Office
and word use. Now if I use font size 12 "Times Roman" and "OneHalf" line
spacing in lyx, and "Times New Roman" and "OneHalf" line spacing in Open
Office I get different line spaces if the document is exported as a pdf. I
tried using setspace, but it didn't change to the required space:

\usepackage{setspace}

\onehalfspacing

Is this a known problem? Otherwise I'll just set the line spacing to an
individual distance, after visual judgement.

Sorry for the long mail. I'd be really grateful if someone could help me
out.

Thanks ahead,

Axel

Try deleting the sessions file from ~/.lyx. That may be the issue. You

I chowned the whole of .lyx already, because I had this idea too,

Any other file which could have a permission problem?

If the window size isn't being controlled by LyX, then I'd think it had

You can find several such examples in the layout files that come with 
LyX. Documentation is in chapter five of the Customization manual. The 
hard part is to figure out what LaTeX you want to generate. You can do 
this by doing it in LyX as Guenter suggested, then using View>Source to 
see what LaTeX that produces. Then you can define your layout to 
generate that LaTeX. E.g., something like:


Style Member
CopyStyle Standard
LaTeXType Environment
LaTeXName member
Preamble
\newenvironment{member}{...beginning code...}{...ending code...}
EndPreamble
EndStyle

This could be prettied up, but just that much will work.

In particular, if the goal is to have that for all paragraphs (or many
ones), I'd suggest to look at widows/orphans:

This is something that LyX should support natively, IMO.

Why is the heading of the Preface showing "List of figures" ?

[Miguel Rubio-Roy]

Hi all,
 I've tried to isolate this problem I've found on a large tex file,
but I don't manage to find where the problem is.

 What happens is the heading of the second page of the Preface shows
"List of figures", when it should be showing "Preface".

You can find the pdf file generated on
http://groups.google.com/group/latexusersgroup/web/Thesis2.pdf
and the log file on

I think the reason is that \chapter* does not reset the headings. You'll 
need to do that manually, using something like \markboth.

Hi rh,
  Thanks for you answer. I've read that markboth requires the use of package
myheadings. I would rather prefer not to use any more packages. Isn't there
any other solution?

BTW, sorry by the slight off-topic of this thread (latex on a lyx list). I'm
writing my thesis with LyX, but after finding this problem I've started to
reduce code and go back to latex to try to isolate the problem.

Thanks

It's normally used with the myheadings page style, not any special 
package. But it's a standard LaTeX command and can be used any time you 
like.


Actually, assuming your class provides it, you should probably just use: 
\chaptermark{Your Title}. This calls \markboth or \markright, etc, as 
the case may be, and does whatever formatting is necessary.

Re: Why is the heading of the Preface showing "List of figures" ?

[Miguel Rubio-Roy]

Sorry, I wrote "package" instead of "page style".

Anyway, you're right. I've tried using markboth straightaway, and it works!
I'll also take a look at chaptermark

Thanks a lot!
