Hi Group, I'm currently doing all my Calculus notes in LyX 2, and everything looks great. I am using the Koma-book, and AMS packages. Is there any smart way of generating a list of proofs and a list of definitions in the appendix? Thanks in advance. /~ HJess.
Need a Lyx User familiar with formulas
Hi Lyx Users! I hope I'm not committing a major faux pas by posting this to the board, but I'm desperate. I have a 40 page word doc with many formulas that I need to put into Lyx for a professor. I am actually not familiar enough with Lyx at this time to do it myself. Would anyone be interested in taking it on? If so, please respond with an hourly rate. Thanks!!! Carla
Using listings with beamer class
Hi, all!
I am trying to prepare short presentation using Beamer and Listings LaTeX
packages. If I include LaTeX code snippet (example one from
http://anteru.net/2008/09/15/269/):
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Your title}
\begin{lstlisting}
code
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
into document - it works well, however if the code snippet
\begin{lstlisting}
code
\end{lstlisting}
is included in between start and end frame styles in LyX document - then there
is a lot of errors reported during DVI/PDF generation.
The error is listed below, and the document source is on
https://github.com/jdevelop/java-beginners-presentation
Many thanks in advance!

I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be

you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases
the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the

That is because figures are floats: LaTeX puts them where it wants, with

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floats,_Figures_and_Captions
or something similar.
If you want the graphic exactly where it is in the text, then you need
to load the float package:
\usepackage{float}
and use the "here definitely" option:
\begin{figure}[H]

That tells LaTeX: Put it where it is.

Writing a Word XML document is a pain, but it's not very hard. There's plenty of well documented examples for supporting a wide variety of features. What it lacks is someone who is willing to pick it up and run with it. I might have a student who would be interested, and I could help with portions. Is there anyone from the users list who might be interested in tackling it? I can provide support on the writing of doc and Alex on the parsing of LyX, it sounds like it's a matter of gluing pieces together. As a first pass, I'd recommend supporting paragraph and character styles, tables, images, and footnotes. Once you've got the basics started, it's pretty to add additional features as you go (or at least, that's what I've found). Cheers, Rob

Can one import HTML, with its styles, into MSWord or Libreoffice? If so, then it sounds to me like eLyXer has already accomplished this, without any added work from you, Alex. You've already done the hard part, and Rob's done the other end of the hard part, and it sounds to me like if there's an MSWord HTML import, it's just a matter of a small script that anybody can do, completely separate from yours and Rob's work.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your help, but I'm still not sure how to control the

Is what you want for the heading to be underlined? If so, then you can
just do that directly in LyX.

Hii,
Yes, that is what I want, a horizontal line underneath the chapter title.
Then the solution depends a bit upon which document class you are
using. The generic solution would be to use the titlesec package,
which allows you to redefine how the chapter, etc, headings appear.
There are all kinds of examples in the documentation's
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec/titlesec.pdf
Appendix from which you can choose.
If you're using memoir or one of the koma-script classes, they have
their own ways to modify the appearance of such things. But the
examples in the titlesec documentation will still be useful.

I like the way Algorithm looks, with a heavy rule above the caption. This is
apparantly produced in Algorithm using
\floatstyle{ruled}
Is there some way to achieve the same effect in listings? I know there is
frame=lines
option for listings, which will produce a thin rule above/below code, but I
also
want a heavy rule above caption:
