I hadn't looked at it carefully. It is embedded in a test document that will compile under pdflatex. Just compile it, have a look.

As for the one above, the LyX file: just copy it into a plain text editor save it with the .lyx extension and then open it in LyX and view it as a .pdf document if you wish.

Hi Louis,
There are discussions in the archives about this. Two schools of
thought, but mine is to completely "handcraft" the front pages of a
book whether using the Memoir class or the book class (never used Koma).
I'm attaching a template that I have worked on. It's not perfect, but
the intention is that you replace a few variables in the front (like
surname, etc) and it should build you a fairly nice frontmatter.
The "adjustable" \newcommands are all at the top. (you
will need to cut the \documentclass definition from the top for use with
LyX.
As I say, it isn't completely finished, so you will want to check
carefully if you decide to use it.
Again, there are two schools of though on this, and I haven't used a
"pure" LyX approach to building the frontmatter in any recent version
of LyX, so things might have improved.
Cheers,
Alan

Hi fellow lyx users, I have the body of a book formatted beautifully with lyx using the Memoir Class, but I'm having many problems formatting the front matter. The first page is blank (is this normal?), the even numbered folios are missing, and there is one too many pages between the front matter and main body. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UsingMemoirInLyX links to the following two documents that are supposed to help, but for some reason I can't get them to download. And I haven't been able to find them anywhere else. http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0303098/public/lyx/memoir-titlepages.lyx http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0303098/public/lyx/memoir-titlepages.pdf Does anyone know of a different source for these documents? Are there other sample documents or instructions available that show how to format the front matter when using Memoir? Louis

Re: change subject alignment in letter koma-script v.2
Giovanni Bacci a écrit :

Anyway, I'd like to know if it's possible to change subject alignment
in a letter koma-script v.2 class. As an option i can only choose
{before,after}opening and titled/untitled. Both of them came with
a center aligned text. But what i'd like to obtain is a left justified
alignment. I've googled a bit, but without finding any clue.
Any hints?
Default subject (i.e. beforeopening and untitled) is left justified.
Only the title (if selected) is centered. This can be seen on figure

So I don't really understand your request: do you want the title to be
left justified?

Hi list. I've a problem non strictly about lyx, but i hope to get an

Help: Could not find LaTeX command for character '' (code point 0x2028)
I just imported a novel in plain text to LyX on my iMac. It looks fine but when I try to view the PDF it gives this error message: Could not find LaTeX command for character ' ' (code point 0x2028) It says changing the encoding to UTF8 could help, but that's what I already chose. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, Mike
