Re: Auto-reload pdf files on Mac?

Greetings. I read something like the following in the Skim documentation, but I can't find where at the moment. It seems that reason you must always specify "auto-(re)load" the first time you update a PDF is so that you don't forget and override a previously compiled version of the document th

Hi Michael, I'm using LyX 2beta3 on OS X 10.6.6 with MacTeX also. I have compiled a document with the tufte class both to DVI and to PDF. This suggests that there is something specifically wrong with your file. It could be your installation, but if you used the full MacTeX, that seems doubt

Peter, When I use a fresh install of LyX 2.0beta, with KOMA-script article and the enumitem module, I cannot reproduce the problem. The lists seem to appear as expected. The label is not indented and flush with the item text. With respect to the problem of indenting, I notice that in your pic

Tim,I'm not sure if it is what you want, but I've attached a LyX module that gives you a "ChangeMargin" inset in the dropdown menu with Chapter, Section, Quote, and other text environments.   You can modify the module file to give you the lengths and labels as needed.  Info on installing modules ca

Greetings all, I am using LyX 2 beta 2, and I have been trying out the use of system fonts with XeTeX and LuaTeX. Whenever I chose the fonts I want, I click apply, and then ok. If I exit the document and then reopen, the sans serif font and the typewriter font are reset to default, and the fo

Steve, All I have available at the moment is LyX 2beta2 for Mac, but in LyX-->preferences--->Output--->General, I have an option "Output line length ___". (the default is 65--close to what you estimated) This seems to do what you want, as I've been able use it to change the plain text output

Re: LyX Memoir endnotes have form of footnotes

Emil, I'm not sure if you're still wanting Helvetica, but what works for me is to open the document settings and go to the Fonts section The first drop-down selection list is where you set the default font family, i.e. the family that LyX should use as the basic family for the whole document

Hi all. I've recently started using LyX, and I've downloaded the 2.0 alpha 6 version used with Mac OS X. I have only one issue so far, and that concerns the use of Unicode, in particular polytonic Greek (entered using the Polytonic Greek keyboard layout supplied by Apple). I'm relatively new
