Nomenclature

[Aline Gautrein]

Hey Lyx-fans,

I included a nomenclature within my work. In general, Lyx includes this
list in a one column environment. I found the command

\begin{multicols}{2}
Nomenclature
\end{multicols}

to create the a two column environement. However, the second column on the
first page starts at the top of the page, instead of under the title
Nomenclature.

I found the solution of editing the package nomencl and work around with
ERT. If I do this, do I also have to re-enter all nomenclature entries by
hand? That would cause a lt of work. Is there another solution for this
problem?

Thanks a lot and greetings!

You have to redefine the \thenomenclature. Put this in Document  Settings
 Preamble:

\usepackage{multicol}

\@ifundefined{chapter}

{\def\wilh@nomsection{section}}

{\def\wilh@nomsection{chapter}}


\def\thenomenclature{%

\begin{multicols}{2}[%

\csname\wilh@nomsection\endcsname*{\nomname}

\if@intoc\addcontentsline{toc}{\wilh@nomsection}{\nomname}\fi

\nompreamble]

\list{}{%

\labelwidth\nom@tempdim

\leftmargin\labelwidth

\advance\leftmargin\labelsep

\itemsep\nomitemsep

\let\makelabel\nomlabel}%

}

\def\endthenomenclature{%

\endlist

\end{multicols}

Re: Wrong connections in contents

[Christian Ridderström]

I think I know what he means... the PDF has navigation links, i.e. the
table of content links that you see on the left side. But when you click on
link corresponding to 'Nomenclature' in the PDF, you're shown the
'Abstract' section which is just before. To me it sounds like some kind of
bug..

Aline, would it be possible for you to create a small example, i.e. a
reduced LyX-file that demonstrates this example and then make that
available?

 Is there a way to get Lyx to display an error message when it cannot

Here is the way to do it:
1. In Lyx (my version is 2.1.3 on Windows 7), select View|Messages Pane

2. make a small change in your file so the document will be re-processed

3. Click on View (the two eyes icon) or ctrl-R
You will see many messages appear.

4. Scroll down to the line containing

5. The lines immediately after that will contain the messages from bibtex

Re: item list

Sorry, I'm not really a latex expert. However, I would do the following.
Make a small latex document that uses the enumitem package,
and check if latex can compile it. If it cannot, it means that latex
cannot find the .sty file, and latex need to be reconfigured.
Worst case, it should work to put enumitem.sty in your local
directory, but it should not be necessary.

Hello,

Is enumitem compatible with beamer?
I downloaded the file:

Hi Patrick,

Could you please use more descriptive subject lines? This one could
have been incompatibility of enumitem with overlays? or spacing of
the itemized lists in beamer.

As for the issue, try the following:

1. go to the first item in your itemize list and put the cursor at the
beginning of the line (so it will be after the dot that marks the
item).
2. In ERT, insert \setlength\itemsep{\fill}

Does that do what you want?

Re: Incompatibility with overlays specifications.

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Setting 
\setlength\itemindent{-5pt}
on the first item works only of the next items!
In addition, using Overlays specifications cancels the setting!

 You can also use the enumitem package, which is supported by lyx.
 

Re: item list

[Anders Host-Madsen]

Sorry, I'm not really a latex expert. However, I would do the following.
Make a small latex document that uses the enumitem package,
and check if latex can compile it. If it cannot, it means that latex
cannot find the .sty file, and latex need to be reconfigured.
Worst case, it should work to put enumitem.sty in your local
directory, but it should not be necessary.

Re: item list

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Is enumitem compatible with beamer?
I downloaded the file:
 enumitem-example.lyx
It work fine. However, when I select the beamer document class,
I get:
Layout `Enumerate-Resume' was not found.

Incompatibility

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

It seems that the package enumitem is not compatible with overlays 
specifications.
(Beamer)
I am trying to get control on the spacing of the itemized lists.

Any idea?

Hi Patrick,

Could you please use more descriptive subject lines? This one could
have been incompatibility of enumitem with overlays? or spacing of
the itemized lists in beamer.

As for the issue, try the following:

1. go to the first item in your itemize list and put the cursor at the
beginning of the line (so it will be after the dot that marks the
item).
2. In ERT, insert \setlength\itemsep{\fill}

Does that do what you want?

Scott

Re: Incompatibility with overlays specifications.

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Setting 
\setlength\itemindent{-5pt}
on the first item works only of the next items!
In addition, using Overlays specifications cancels the setting!

Re: Wrong connections in contents

[Christian Ridderström]

I think I know what he means... the PDF has navigation links, i.e. the
table of content links that you see on the left side. But when you click on
link corresponding to 'Nomenclature' in the PDF, you're shown the
'Abstract' section which is just before. To me it sounds like some kind of
bug..

Aline, would it be possible for you to create a small example, i.e. a
reduced LyX-file that demonstrates this example and then make that
available?

Nomenclature

[Aline Gautrein]

Hey Lyx-fans,

I included a nomenclature within my work. In general, Lyx includes this
list in a one column environment. I found the command

\begin{multicols}{2}
Nomenclature
\end{multicols}

to create the a two column environement. However, the second column on the
first page starts at the top of the page, instead of under the title
"Nomenclature".

I found the solution of editing the package "nomencl" and work around with
ERT. If I do this, do I also have to re-enter all nomenclature entries by
hand? That would cause a lt of work. Is there another solution for this
problem?

Thanks a lot and greetings!

Here is the way to do it:
1. In Lyx (my version is 2.1.3 on Windows 7), select View|Messages Pane

2. make a small change in your file so the document will be re-processed

3. Click on View (the two eyes icon) or ctrl-R
You will see many messages appear.

Re: item list

[Patrick Dupre]

Thank,

I installed the file enumitem.module in .lyx/layouts as recommanded
and reconfigure:
+checking for package enumitem [enumitem]... yes

Than restart lyx.
Now in modules, I can see:
Customizable Lists (enumitem)
But I cannot select it.
Control the layout of enumerate, itemize, description, and list/labeling with 
an optional argument. See 
http://dante.ctan.org/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/enumitem.pdf
Package(s) required: enumitem.sty.

locate enumitem.sty
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/enumitem/enumitem.sty

I am missing something?
Should I put enumitem.sty inside my own directory?

Hi Patrick,

Could you please use more descriptive subject lines? This one could
have been "incompatibility of enumitem with overlays?" or "spacing of
the itemized lists in beamer".

As for the issue, try the following:

1. go to the first item in your itemize list and put the cursor at the
beginning of the line (so it will be after the dot that marks the
item).
2. In ERT, insert \setlength\itemsep{\fill}

Does that do what you want?

Scott

Re: Incompatibility with overlays specifications.

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Setting 
\setlength\itemindent{-5pt}
on the first item works only of the next items!
In addition, using Overlays specifications cancels the setting!
