Is it LyX or LaTeX (pdflatex?) that writes the auxiliary files? I 
suspect the latter, in which case I'm pretty sure the answer to your 
question is no. You could create a custom export format and tell LyX to 
invoke a shell script (written by you) that would run whatever LaTeX 
commands were needed and then copy the selected files to the local 
directory (which I believe you can convince LyX to pass as an argument 
to the script). That's complicated enough that you might be better off 
just writing a script that copies the target files to the local 
directory and run it manually after compiling documents.

I thought about doing something similar, but not exactly as you suggested. 
With the totcount package, you register the counters you'll want to keep track 
of with the 
command 
\regtotcounter[auxfile=first.tc]{thm}
It will create the counter thm@totc and set it to zero.  At the end of the run, 
the counter is 
written into first.tc.  I need to inform this file name to the next lecture.
So, inside the InPreamble, I registered all theorem counters.
Two problems resulted:
1. I got a lot of "!Missing number, treated as zero" errors.  
2. If I ignore the errors and finish the processing, the total counters of the 
environs that 
are NOT used in the document are written in first.tc, all set to zero, as 
expected.  
The problem is that the counters that ARE used are again incremented every time 
the file 
is processed until all cross-references are right.
This time, I inserted the \setcounter{defn}{\totvalue{defn}}
command in the *.inc file.

That seems to work.  Thanks for pointing out the command.
So, I inserted 
\regtotcounter[auxfile=\currfilebase.tc]{thm}, etc
in the  appropriate places in the *.inc file.  The command \currfilebase comes 
from the 
currfile package.  It just contains the base file name, without the extension.
And then, if I know that in the next lecture the Definition and Exercise 
environs are used, 
inserting in the InPreamble

\AtBeginDocument{\setcounter{defn}{\totvalue{defn}} 
\setcounter{xca}{\totvalue{xca}} }

does the trick.  The counters are set after all the rest of the preamble is 
processed.

Thank you.

Incidentally, in order to create locally the *.aux and *.tc files needed for 
cross-referencing, 
I have to first export the document to LaTeX and then manually run 
pdflatex --draftmode 

Is there a way to instruct Lyx to write certain auxiliary files into the local 
directory, instead 
of in /tmp/lyx_tmpdirxxx?

Align headings and their outline numbers

[Andreas Plihal]

Hi,

 

as you know, I'm writing a KOMA book. 

 

How can I get all heading text to be left-justified and their associated section numbers right-justified? 

 

For a better understanding, I have enclosed a graphic that illustrates what I mean.

 

Greetings

Andreas

I thought I got it right, but several unexpected problems came up and 
I'd like to have your opinion.



What I want to do is the following: I'm preparing a series of lectures 
that will employ theorem-like environments.


Several lectures are related to the same subject and so I want the 
enumeration of numbered things (equations, figures, theorems, 
examples, definitions, etc) in subsequent lectures to continue from 
the previous ones.



In order to guarantee the correct sequence, I'm loading in the 
preamble the totcount package.  For each counter employed in a given 
lecture, the totcount package  creates a new counter (equation@totc, 
figure@totc, etc), which contains the last value of the counter.


The values of these counters are then written in a specific file (call 
it previous.tc), which can be read in the subsequent lecture.  
Finally, by using


\setcounter{}{}

I can guarantee the desired continuation of the enumeration of things.


For the native LaTeX counters (equation, figure, etc), I've been 
including all the necessary commands in an ERT with the layout InPreamble.


For the native counters, this works all right because the counters are 
defined with the class and class packages, which are read before 
user-specific definitions incuded with the InPreamble layout.



However, for the theorem-like environments, the implementation is more 
involved.  The problems that are coming up are:



1. Say a given environment like theorem is only introduced from the 
second lecture.  In this case, the file previous.tc will not contain 
the last value of the counter thm@totc, because there was no theorem 
in the first lecture.  Hence, I cannot issue a \setcounter{thm}{value>} because in this case the number of the first theorem gets 
increased for each LyX/LaTeX compilation.


This complicates the implementation of the custom theorem-bytpe module 
I've been tinkering with in my previous thread.  Somehow I need to 
introduce instructions to read the previous.tc file and find out if 
the counter thm was previously employed.  Only if there is a last 
value of thm@totc that I can \setvalue the counter.


I'm not sure what will be the best way to implement this.  Several 
posts I've been browsing through suggest the use of TeX natives like 
\newread, \openin \read, etc, and then use some package (like xstring) 
that identifies specific strings in each line read.  Seems too much 
trouble for me.



2. Then I decided to dumb down my approach.  I will only use \setvalue 
for those counters that I know are employed in the previous lecture, 
as I was doing so far with the native LaTeX counters.


The problem now is that with the layout InPreamble, those instructions 
will be written before the ams-theorem module defines the thm 
counters.  That is going to give errors.


It seems that as of now there is no way to choose the ordering of the 
instructions contained in the layout InPreamble inside the document's 
preamble.  This is discussed in this thread:


https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg100172.html 




Therefore, the only solution that I can imagine is to write the 
necessary instructions in the user-defined preamble accessible in


Document Settings -> LaTeX Preamble

This way, I guarantee the correct ordering of the instructions.


Anyway, I just wanted to vent out my frustration that I was not smart 
enough to somehow automatize this process.  This is an admittedly very 
specific problem, and I don't know if you think this can be of 
interest to the larger community.

I've never used the totcount package, so this may be a bit naive. For 
the first issue, can you set the relevant counters (equation@totc) etc. 
to zero with a \setcounter command in the preamble of the first document 
and, if so, will that zero value get written to the file if no 
environments of the type counted appear in the document? That would 
(hopefully) give you a starting value for the next document.


For the second issue, can you wrap your preamble code in 
AtBeginDocument{} and, if so, does that allow ams-theorem to load first 
and your code to execute correctly?
