I'm not sure I understand what you want here. But the vertical space may
be getting lost because it is not being marked protected. Not sure.

 P.S: I'm attaching my LyX file called thesis_kenedy, so you can take a

It'd be better to post a small example file.

In any event, if this is something you want every section title to do,

Hi there,

thesis is too near...
Anyway, I could not believe that classicthesis do not have the possibility
to use emph style with capital letters in chapter titles, or headers... And
it's very strange the no one lamented the same problem...
I will find a way, or at least leave it as it is, without capitals.

What about modifying the titles style with caps style? If I use the caps
style in the titles maybe the emph style is compiled in a correct way...

And, one more... for Philipp, where can I find the option pdfspacing?

 Thankyou in advance
 Kenedy

Kenedy, you REALLY need to read this:

http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Starting with the obvious, .rar files are a proprietary format not 
everybody has software for. In an effort to help you, the other day I 
tried to get software to open your last .rar file, but after my first 
attempt failed, well, I just didn't have time to go further. If you 
need to archive sample files at all, why not use .zip or .tar.gz or 
.tgz? Actually, Windows people might not have software for .tgz or 
.tar.gz, but EVERYONE has software to open .zip, which is standard and 
just about universally available. Why not use that?

Next, if you look at Raymond's essay, you'll see he recommends that 
when you submit something for others, you whittle it down to the 
smallest example that still displays the problem. When I (partially) 
opened your last .rar, I saw that it contained several files (I think 
four), and one was a graphical file. This current one appears to have 
three graphics. Unless you have proven that the graphics are part of 
the problem, which is doubtful in spacing of sections, why not submit 
just the LyX file with just one section. Also, by whittling something 
down to its essentials, you often discover the answer to your 
question.

Another part of Raymond's essay you might want to look at is the part 
that deals with RTFM. On two occasions you rapid-fired man questions to 
the list, and my impression was that once the replies to your first 
couple questions had been answered, you could have RTFM'ed a lot of 
the additional information and gotten an answer.

I don't think Raymond even covers this, but when somebody gives you an 
answer, you should at least look into it. The answer to most of the 
questions you've asked is just what one reply already said to you: Use 
a layout file. That's certainly how I've approached spacing sections in 
the past. I just looked up lyx layout files in Google (without the 
quotes), and the #4 and #5 hits were on using the thesis template. A 
couple hours researching that stuff and you could have asked less 
questions more incisively.

Hey, I'm not against asking questions. I answer quite a few myself, 
and when I came on this list 11 years ago I asked a lot. But even back 
then, I tried hard to research the obvious before asking, try out 
every answer, submit only the most simplified example files, and submit 
them in a format everyone could easily read (and that would probably 
be no archiving at all).

To me, the bottom line to remember when submitting any question is 
that the people answering it are doing it for free, they're usually 
very busy, and don't have much time for each email, so make it as easy 
as possible for them to answer.

 Hello guys...
 
 I Ineed to have my sections centered and in the middle
 of the page, I'm trying to insert a vertical space of 8cm but it's
 not working :(
 Why, what can I do in this case?
 
 P.S: I'm attaching my LyX file called thesis_kenedy, so you can
 take a look and edit it if you want...
 
 
 Thankyou in advance
 Kenedy

Kenedy, you REALLY need to read this:

http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Starting with the obvious, .rar files are a proprietary format not 
everybody has software for. In an effort to help you, the other day I 
tried to get software to open your last .rar file, but after my first 
attempt failed, well, I just didn't have time to go further. If you 
need to archive sample files at all, why not use .zip or .tar.gz or 
.tgz? Actually, Windows people might not have software for .tgz or 
.tar.gz, but EVERYONE has software to open .zip, which is standard and 
just about universally available. Why not use that?

Next, if you look at Raymond's essay, you'll see he recommends that 
when you submit something for others, you whittle it down to the 
smallest example that still displays the problem. When I (partially) 
opened your last .rar, I saw that it contained several files (I think 
four), and one was a graphical file. This current one appears to have 
three graphics. Unless you have proven that the graphics are part of 
the problem, which is doubtful in spacing of sections, why not submit 
just the LyX file with just one section. Also, by whittling something 
down to its essentials, you often discover the answer to your 
question.

Another part of Raymond's essay you might want to look at is the part 
that deals with RTFM. On two occasions you rapid-fired man questions to 
the list, and my impression was that once the replies to your first 
couple questions had been answered, you could have RTFM'ed a lot of 
the additional information and gotten an answer.

I don't think Raymond even covers this, but when somebody gives you an 
answer, you should at least look into it. The answer to most of the 
questions you've asked is just what one reply already said to you: Use 
a layout file. That's certainly how I've approached spacing sections in 
the past. I just looked up lyx layout files in Google (without the 
quotes), and the #4 and #5 hits were on using the thesis template. A 
couple hours researching that stuff and you could have asked less 
questions more incisively.

Hey, I'm not against asking questions. I answer quite a few myself, 
and when I came on this list 11 years ago I asked a lot. But even back 
then, I tried hard to research the obvious before asking, try out 
every answer, submit only the most simplified example files, and submit 
them in a format everyone could easily read (and that would probably 
be no archiving at all).

To me, the bottom line to remember when submitting any question is 
that the people answering it are doing it for free, they're usually 
very busy, and don't have much time for each email, so make it as easy 
as possible for them to answer.

Gian,

I am sorry,  I missunderstood your question. You ment the running title, I 
though the chapter heading.
Have you considered to use Koma-script as your document class? It offers a 
scrpage-2 package which is superior to fancyheaders and allows all kinds of 
special settings in the headers, footers etc. It is described in Markus 
Kohm Jens-Uwe Morawski's book KomaScript in chapter 4, unfortunately in 
German. I would suggest, if you do not get an advise on this list, to ask 
latex experts in TeX groups such as the Dante group in Germany 

or TeX user group TUG
supp...@tug.org 
or 
Gruppo Utilizzatori Italiani di TeX

Colorful boxes for mathematical formulas

Dear All,

Is there some way of boxing mathematical formulas with a red box? I
have tried with \fbox, but getting only black boxes.

Thanks in advance,

I'm not sure I understand what you want here. But the vertical space may
be getting lost because it is not being marked "protected". Not sure.

It'd be better to post a small example file.

In any event, if this is something you want every section title to do,
then you are better off using the titlesec package to modify the section
headings once and for all.

Hi there,

Wolfgang, I will try to ask in such groups, despite the deadline for my
thesis is too near...
Anyway, I could not believe that classicthesis do not have the possibility
to use emph style with capital letters in chapter titles, or headers... And
it's very strange the no one lamented the same problem...
I will find a way, or at least leave it as it is, without capitals.

What about modifying the titles style with caps style? If I use the caps
style in the titles maybe the emph style is compiled in a correct way...

And, one more... for Philipp, where can I find the option pdfspacing?

Thank you all for you precious assistance!
Gian
