 Hi all,
 What is the best way of building a glossary section in Lyx, the page must

 Thanks in advance for suggestions,
 Artimess

you need in documentsettingsLaTeX preamble
\usepackage{nomencl}

(nomenclature and glossary are synonyms)
go behind the term to be used in the glossary, press alt i and y (or 
alternatively click insert  nomenclature entry) 

this gives you the glossary box with the chosen entry in the upper line 
(Symbol) and room for the description below

Take care not to mark two words and create the box behind it. Though it will 
take both words in the symbol line of the box, the words are taken out of the 
original text. You either have to cut and paste them back again or avoid this 
way. 

This behaviour is different from the indexing, and it would be nice to have it 
working here too. It might have been changed in the Lyx2 trunk already, don't 
know (I am the guy who tried so far unsuccessfully to install it). 

You should also click the ok in the glossary box, even if you have not yet 
finished it (eg because you are checking in the internet the meaning of your 
entry), otherwise the box might be gone and you have to redo it.

Symbol for wrapped lines in LyX-Code

[pierrickuk]

Hi there, 

I am posting this as 2 hours of searching got me nowhere so far.
I am writing some instructions manual to set up some software my company is
distributing.
For this I need to put some linux console commands for which I use the
LyX-code format. Everything is fine unless the line is too long and then get
wrapped. As some of our customer might not know much about linux, I am
afraid they might hit return at the end of the line.
So I am looking for a way to automatically indicate that the line is wrapped
to fit on a page (preferably by some special symbol not used in a
terminal/console).

Maybe there is some LaTeX package that would work, or some trick I am not
aware of... Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction here.

I'll keep on searching and post anything interesting here.

Thanks!

There's no easy way to indicate wrapped lines automatically, so far as I 
know. You could do it manually, using ⏎, which you can insert using 
unicode-insert 0x23ce in the minibuffer.

Hi all, 
I had some problems joining the mailing list, so following Nabble's

Meanwhile, some people provided some nice suggestions and solutions there:

Have a look.

I myself will try on Monday

Irregular point size, line-space in Lyx

[Frederick Noronha]

Could someone tell me please how to change the point size and
line-space in Lyx, to irregular figures?

Say, if I want 12.5 point size on 15 point line space, how do I
achieve that? Many thanks, gracias, shukriya, daanyawaad. FN

Multiple LaTeX classes in a layout

[Marshall Feldman]

Hello,

I'm writing my first LyX layout and running into trouble. When I use the 
following command in the layout file, the document class appears in the 
Document Settings drop-down list:


   #  \DeclareLaTeXClass[letter,graphix]{letter (mine)}

but the letter does not format correctly yet because I need to be using 
my own letter class name, myletter.cls, but haven't gotten that far. 
When I try the following, LyX no longer displays the class as available.


   #  \DeclareLaTeXClass[letter,graphix,calc]{letter (mine)}

What am I doing wrong? Is there an example somewhere of a layout that 
requires multiple LaTeX classes?


Thanks.
