Bullet selection not respected in french

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi,
I'm working on a document in french where I have to use several levels 
of nested bullet lists.


For every level a different bullet is shown in the settings dialog.

Compiling the french version with pdflatex gives the same '-' at all levels.
Changing the Language of the document to german produces the correct result.

A minimal example is associated.


What can I do?


TIA Hellmut

problem with two languages in a thesis

[Evan Mason]

Hi, I have 8 child documents of an English thesis.  Child/chapter 7 is in
Spanish.  The 8th child is the appendix.  The problem is that in the
appendix lyx continues to use Spanish (Cuadro rather than Table and so on).

I started out setting the language in child 7 to Spanish with Documents >
Settings.  I have now changed it English, highlighted the entire chapter and
set Spanish using Edit > Text style.  I then highlighted the entire appendix
and set it to English in the same way.

But this has not worked.  Can anyone tell where I am going wrong?

Thanks, Evan

I don't know (yet) either :-). Maybe something like... open a new LyX
document, start writing the story of my life, insert a python script in
it and have syntax highlighting (and anything else that python code
needs to be ready for copy-paste-execute) without much work.

Something like that... ?

Anyway, thanks for the replies. I think it's more clear now what the
options are.

  I don't know what you seek that cannot be accommodated by using the
built-in comment syntax. Perhaps you should consider using them both and see

Right. Thanks for confirming my habit to spend time on comments. I'll
try out pylit. If it works sort of out-of-the-box, maybe it's it.

This sounds like "literate programming":

The idea is that you do not document programs (after the fact), but
write documents that contain the programs.

and if you are looking for a simple solution, I recommend PyLit
(http://pylit.berlios.de).

Nikos,

  Let me explain more than I did in the last message. You cannot use LaTeX
to document code directly within the source, regardless of language. Each
language has conventions for embedded comments.

  Python is supposed to be quite self-documenting, but I always use
extensive comments to describe that is being done in each function, and why
I'm doing it that way. It's as much for me as for anyone else. I would not
be surprised to find that 30% of my code is comments.

  Make extensive use of the single- and multi-line comments as I wrote in
the previous message and you'll understand your code months or years from
now.

Nikos,

  Pydocs, in specific circumstances.

  To provide multiline comments use the triple quotation mark method; for
example, """This class takes the foo as input and returns the bar.
except when the situation calls for a different result."""

  For single line comments use the # sign; e.g.,
# Status Bar
self.statusbar = self.CreateStatusBar(1, 0)

thanks for the reply. I have in mind (most of the times) a documentation
to describe/ explain step by step what is done. I am a very beginner

If you use newfangle:

However you may want to consider using the lstset escapeinside option.

Newfangle uses:
   \lstset{escapeinside={=<}{>}}
You could put this in the document preamble directly:

mmh... no, I don't think this is what I'm trying to do. I would like to insert
inside a listing a reference to other parts of the document, a Chapter for

// According to Equation() I can compute...

So that I have a reference to an equation inside the listing.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
  

Yes, I just told you how:
Put this in your document pre-amble

\lstset{escapeinside={=<}{>}}

Then in your listing put:

=<\ref{myref}>

where myref is your reference.

The =<...> behaves like ERT but for listings.

Customizing toolbar

[Lizardo H. C. M. Nunes]

Hi,

I'm trying to customize LyX, but I'm having a hard time with it.


1. First of all, I'm creating a toolbar with the following item:

Item "Insert figure" "command-sequence float-insert figure; up; dialog- 
show-new-inset graphics; "


Is it possible to set an icon for this item? How can I assign an icon  
for a command-sequence item in a toolbar?




2. By default,  I wish the Graphics dialog displaying:

Set width: 90% of the text width
 "Clip to bounding box"

How can I do that? How to find out the syntax of the parameters in a  
given command?




3. By default, I wish the float to be set as:

 Top of page
 Here if possible

How can I set that by default?



4. How can I create a PopMenu in a toolbar?

The toolbar should have three items as follows:

Item "Insert inline formula" "math-mode on"
Item "Insert numbered equation" "command-sequence math-display; math- 
number-toggle;"
Item "Insert multline equation" "command-sequence math-mode on; math- 
mutate eqnarray;"


Is it possible to set an icon for this PopMenu? How can I assign an  
icon for a PopMenu?

In case of copying and pasting the poem text from another source, this is

Sorry, if this is an old hat for you, just in case.

Put the cursor next to the "Input" box.

This sort of error often happens when a document is

Ideally, LyX could avoid this by closing the

right side. The text should be aligned: chapters, sections, etc. should start

Does anyone of you know how to do this?
Thank you very much,

Make sure you have the parallel.sty package installed. It is part of a 
complete texlive install.


In the preamble:
\usepackage{parallel}

In your document:

ERT \begin{Parallel}{5cm}{5cm}\ParallelLText{

Section heading in first language

paragraphs of text in first language

ERT }\ParallelRText{

Section heading in second language

paragraphs of text in second language

ERT }\end{Parallel}

Shared figures/tables outside the Parallel stuff

ERT \begin{Parallel} ...  (your next section)



Obviously, use something that fits your page size
instead of "5cm". If one language generally needs more
room to say the same, then it can have a wider
column.

I only gave this a quick test, but at least it worked
with page breaking. (multicol.sty with manual column breaks
doesn't do this well at all.)

I use MetaUML together with a custom converter. See my recent post for

MetaUML however does not have support for sequence diagrams yet.

If you search in http://www.ctan.org/ you can find some latex extensions 
to do such things, so you could produce separate .latex files which you 
can then insert into your Lyx document.


Or you can use dia to produce the diagram - Lyx can allow you to insert 
a dia diagram, and will convert it for you.


Or (and someone else will have to explain how, or point to the right Lyx 
help page) use another favourite drawing tool and define a convertor for 
lyx; or you can have it export an eps which Lyx can import.
