Re: Tufte book layout - title ?
Thankyou Uwe and Rob for your replies.
I feel a bit more at ease to know it is a known problem.
I did the MikTex update as Uwe suggested. Unfortunatly it didn't help.
(I didn't see any Tufte in the download list)
I then download the zip file from code.google tufte-latex-3.5.0.zip -
the files in the zip were the same as the MikTek installation - still no
good.
I then got the latest from the SVN repro (revision 144) copied into the
MikTex directory, and finally success - my windows could compile the
example file to a .pdf Title and all.
My last question, .. Is it OK to copy files into the MikTeK directory
like that, and they wont interfere with subsequent updates I might run
on MikTek in the future, what risks do I run by leaving it this way?.
Thanks for the help

Hi Stephen,
You may need to get the most recent version from the tufte-latex source code
repository. I'm not sure that the MikTeX version has been updated
(http://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/). Also, the issue still persists
when compiling documents with xelatex.
For xelatex users, the problem can be circumvented by using the "nols"
option. But this requires that you manually set up letterspacing and fonts
using \fontspec. It also messes up the all-caps styling of headers and
footers.
The best bet might be to downgrade to the 3.0 version. It also has a couple
of bugs (most obnoxious being screwed up figure numbering), but it is much
less temperamental.
Just my two cents, though.

Hi,
I'm a newbie to Lyx, and was playing with the Tufte book class.
I'm a little confused,
I downloaded Lyx Example File from
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-book#toc1
When I try to create a pdf of the example file, I got an error about the
title (using windows and Lyx 1..6.5) (LaTeX Error: Can be used only in

Your command was ignored.
Type I to replace it with another command,
or to continue without it.
When I download and try to build the pdf using Debian, the build works fine,
and has the title in the resultant pdf.
I am guessing my miktex install is missing some package.
So my question, is how do I work out what package is missing for a lyx
file, so I can install it.
note: my miktex _IS_ setup to install missing packages on the fly.
Any idea why my lyx (on windows) doesn't accept the title as valid ?

Opinions needed regarding separation of content and layout in an essay
Hi all,
I'm writing an essay and want to try writing it in lyx. The level I am
at now is that I've managed to write some simple mathematical equations,
but not much more.
I'm interested in your opinions on whether the following is a good and
feasible way to write my document. What I want to achieve is:
1. I want to separate content from layout "completely".
2. I want to complete the entire content before I work on the design and
even before I find out about the details of some latex functions. (When
all content is completed, I will know exactly what layout the different
sections should have).
I will show what I mean using one simple and one less simple example.
Simple example:
When writing an integral, I want to use a function/macro/similar that I
define on my own, say \Cust_int, which doesn't deal with layout at all.
Say I write the command \Cust_int{A}{B}{f(x)*x}{x}{Label_SimpleFunc},
meaning integral from "A" to "B" of "f(x)*x" with respect to "x",
labeled with "Label_SimpleFunc". At first, \Cust_int should simply
generate \intop_{A}^{B}f(x)*x\text{d}x\label{eq:Label_SimpleFunc}. Not
until I'm done with all the content in the essay, I will work on the
Cust_int function (and other user defined functions) to generate the
layout I need.
Less simple example:
When writing equations, I want to comment the steps. Say I define
Cust_equation and \Cust_CommentedEquality and run it like this:
\begin{Cust_equation}f(x)\Cust_CommentedEquality{Usage of the definition
of ...}g(x)*h(x)\Cust_CommentedEquality{Since ...}i(x)\end{Cust_equation}. At
first, this could just generate the equation without the comments. When I'm
done with all the content in the essay, I want to make the output look like in
the attached image. (I do not know how that latex code would look like, but
that is kind of the point, that I want to start with the content and find out
about the latex commands when the content is done).
In addition to the above specific examples, my idea is to do similarly
with mathematical theorems, mathematical lists of assumptions,
references to other articles etc.
Your opinions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Changing Default Heading Typeface in KOMA-Script Documents
I thought that I had saved instructions for changing the typeface for headings in KOMA-Script documents from san-serif to the default serif font. My search of my e-mail archive does not turn up this command. I also haven't seen an example in the KOMA-Script users guide. A clue on how to specify this in the document's preamble will be appreciated. Thanks, Rich
