Komascript: changing parameters in stdlayouts.inc to vary parskip
I'm using komascript book, which if I understand aright calls stdlayouts.inc to get its basic parameters. In one of the environments, (verse) i want a different vertical space between every line of the poems. I think each poem line is defined as a separate paragraph. So I decided to change parskip in stdlayouts.inc for the verse environmment. I put Style Verse # LaTeX type is first dynamic because of LaTeX implementation. # In LyX this does not make sense. Category MainText LatexType Environment LatexName verse MarginFirst_Dynamic NextNoIndent 1 LeftMargin LabelIndent ParSkip 0.05 TopSep0.7 BottomSep 0.7 ParSep0.3 Align Block AlignPossible Block, Left LabelType No_Label End But nothing happens, nothing at all. The original values I changed from were ParSkip 0.4 ParSep 0.5 Where is my logic wrong?

When the biblatex styles creates some op. cit, ibid., etc. it needs a new latex run ro get the cross-references right. LyX does not understand that. Maybe in the 2.0 version it is fixed, but I don't know. The only workaround is to export your article when finished and run it through latex and bibtex the appropriate number of times to produce a pdf. Cheers, Charles

Re: Koma-script caption question
Richard, take a look at the following excerpt (from the Komascript Manual, p. 114): In KOMA-Script there are different ways to change the formatting of the caption text. The definition of different font styles was already explained above. This or the caption delimiter between the label and the label text itself is specified in the macro \captionformat. In contrast to all other \...format commands, in this case it does not contain the counter but only the items which follow it. The original definition is: \newcommand*{\captionformat}{:\ } This too can be changed with \renewcommand. Example: For some inexplicable reasons you want a dash with spaces before and after instead of a colon followed by a space as label delimiter. You define: \renewcommand*{\captionformat}{~--~} This definition should be put in the preamble of your document. This seems to indicate \renewcommand*{captionformat}{} should do the trick (I haven't tested it though). S.

Change indent of section number in toc
Hello, I am writing a text using article. Now I would like to increase the indent in the section and subsection- lines in the toc. I'm talking about the indent before the actual section-number. (The reason is, that I have 3 different parts, with sections from 1 to 5, I use setcounter to set the sectioncounter to 0 at the beginning of each part.) I downloaded the tocloft-package, but I cannot figure out, how to change the indent just for the sections and subsections... BTW I use Lyx 1.34 on Suse Linux (please don't ask me to upgrade, I do this for good reasons, I allready discussed here)
Koma-script caption question
I have I'm using Koma script book, and I need to adjust the captions for my floats. I'd like to have them without the prefix 'Figu. 1:' etc, just my caption and no other text. So I put \captionsetup[figure]{labelformat=empty} in the preamble, following advice found on this list. The Fig. 1 disappeared fine- but not the colon! So I now have a very ugly and irrelevant : before my caption text. How can I eliminate this? TIA Richard
Koma-script question
I thought I would ask a Komascript question, as there seems to be several expert users on this forum. I'd like to have captions in table and figures in a smaller font size *and* with a correspondingly smaller leading space. I know I can change the font size with \addtokomafont{caption}{\smaller} in the preamble, but this command does not touch the leading space. If, for instance, the main document is 12pt one-half space, I end up with ugly looking and space-eating widely spaced captions. Does anyone know how to solve the problem? I could not find the answer in the Koma-script manual.

Re: making \citep the default natbib citation style?
I've done some more reading of natbib itself (the included pdf) -- it's pretty clear that if natbib is set to *author-year* style, then the standard \cite command behaves as \citet; if set to *numerical *style, \cite behaves as \citep. You can see this in LyX when using natbib under Document -> Settings -> Bibliography: Citation style. If Natbib is chosen and set to author-year, the LyX source code shows citations as \citet; if you change that setting to numerical, the source code updates them to \citep. So I take this to mean that LyX is using \cite, err, 'internally', and the source output reflects the implementation in the natbib package. Is it possible to control this in LyX somehow; to tell LyX to issue \citep explicitly and never use \cite? Can a natbib .cfg or .sty file change the behaviour? (Maybe this is all really a question for the natbib community?) I feel like I must be missing something obvious.

Language selection in Lyx 1.6.x
Dear all, I have the problem that some of my paragraphs seem to be marked as a different language (I guess it's some British/U.S. English issue), resulting in these annoying blue underlines. I know that I can set the document language in document -> settings, but that won't solve the issues of multiple. The lyx support webpages states that one should use Edit -> Text Style -> Language. However, the option Language doesn't exist under Edit -> Text Style in Lyx 1.6.5. I tried to find such language options in some other menus but went nuts trying. I could just ignore the blue underlines but seeing them makes me so agressive ... Thanks for any help! Jan
