listing package with multicol

[Kulkarni Shantanu]

Hi,
I have to split a program code (done using listing package)in 2 columns. The 
ways I have in mind are,
- make minipage 50% of width
- make a table with 2 colums
- use multicol package

Which of these is preferred? Or any other way that is recommended?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Shantanu

Re: Footnotes, new numbers from each chapter...

Please try the footmisc package. Something like,
\usepackage[perpage]{footmisc}

Remember, it needs at least two passes to do this correctly.

a bit of extra height for a particular page

[Kulkarni Shantanu]

Hi,
I am stuck at this for hours now. I have a 30 page book in Tufte-book
class. On one of the pages, I require a little bit extra height to fit
in a single line. How do I do it?

Thanks.

a5paper for tufte book class

[Kulkarni Shantanu]

Hi,
Tufte book class docs say a5paper is not supported and one has to use the
geometry package. But geometry is already loaded by lyx. How do I pass
options to it later? I did \geometry{a5paper} but that made the
formatting extremly bad (I had already written 20 pages in Tufte default
mode).
If I give "a5paper"  in Documents->Settings->Document Class->Option,
does it trickle down to the geometry package?
The Documents->Settings->Page Layout->Paper Format is also greyed out
with A4.

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure? "AN EXAMPLE OF THE USAGE OF THE
TUFTE - HANDOUT STYLE". This title seems to be upright.
How did the author get that?

I *did* use C-E. No luck - using Lyx 1.6.5 on Ubuntu 10.04. Right now I
am using sfsidenotes option and it seems to be ok ... but ... I don't
like it too much.

I want upright not slanted. Also it gives me error,

|  \title{\emph{Lecture Notes}}
|   
| I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.  For example,
| `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce this error. If you simply

| a runaway argument that might be the root of the problem. But if your
| `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Thanks  a lot in advance and sorry for the late mail, I was out of town
for 10 days.

font they might be using especially for code examples?
The tufte class title and author name is slanted. How to get those upright?

Thanks,

powerdot style gallery

[Kulkarni Shantanu]

Hi,
I didn't find a style gallery for powerdot, so I created one. This was
done with a quick perl script and some vi power. I will improve the page 
when I get some time. Meanwhile, please check,

http://www.shantanukulkarni.org/powerdot/pdgallery.html

Style gallery is a one stop showcase of all the styles and palettes
available in powerdot. This makes it easy to choose required style and
palette. 

Comments welcome.

Thanks,

Re: powerdot font too small

[Kulkarni Shantanu]

Hi,
Instead of dvipdfm (I think because powerdot uses pstricks) do,
Ctrl-Shift-D - makes dvi
Ctrl-Shift-T - makes ps
and then make pdf - I guess Ctrl-V-P.
This might help. I have no access to lyx right now so the above part 
is from memory, nor I am a member of this list presently so sorry 
for breaking the threading, nor am I a guru of tex or lyx.
