RE: [nooby q] 'linked' text flow
Hi Rich and group I'm getting the idea that its not going to happen this for me. However, as you suggest I'll state what I had in mind JIC. In the late '80s and early '90's I did a lot of work in, pagestream on the Atari ST, and then pagemaker. What I would do is edit 'stories' using styles (which I now know is analog to class in lyx), then 'place' them on the page, often breaking the story up and interleaving it 'zine style with other stories etc. So now I know that lyx has no pretentions when it comes to 'pagelayout', however its strict use of 'classes' means that it's a model editor for articles/stories etc. I'm hoping I can then 'import' these lyx or latex files into another pagelayout tool, which will understand and respect the lxy template/class system. I'm guessing the answer is no, however will be interested to hear otherwise. If not no worries, I'll just continue my journey into lyx,latex,tex and a less urgent rate Thx Glenn -Original Message- From: Rich Shepard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 20 February 2005 9:38 AM To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Subject: RE: [nooby q] 'linked' text flow On Sun, 20 Feb 2005, Glenn Davy wrote: > Does anyone know of a page layout tools that an utilise content created > with Lyx/LaTex and 'lay' it out in a manner described?

From the above I think you really want a page layout program (i.e., Scribus) for your product and output, but you don't want to write in that environment. You have two options: 1) write in LyX then use File->Export->ASCII or B) use a plain text editor (emacs, vim, joe, ...) and skip the intervening step. I assume that page layout programs accept plain text as input. Perhaps you can explain what you want to accomplish. Then we can offer more focused sugestions. HTH, Rich -- Dr. Richard B.

RE: [nooby q] 'linked' text flow
Thanks Rich - Makes perfect sense - can I take the question one step further - does anyone know of a page layout tools that an utilise content created with Lyx/LaTex and 'lay' it out in a manner described? Lyx seems like a great way to author content.

Glenn, The short answer is, "no". LyX/LaTeX is not a page layout tool. It is designed for written documents that are primarily textual, not graphic. You mention Scribus and Framemaker, but you don't mention OpenOffice.org's Writer or (gak!) winWord. Why? Because the page layout applications (Scribus and Framemaker) are intended for a different purpose than is a word processor. To understand the difference, open a book and a magazine and compare the page layouts side-by-side. From your messages it appears to me that you want a page layout application where you spend your time designing the page and moving frames, graphics and pretty text all around. That's not the purpose of LyX/LaTeX. The latter is designed for those who focus on content and let the underlying TeX control the typesetting so it looks good on paper. Mathematical equations, figures and tables are the usual additions to text. The focus of the writer is on content, not appearance. Rich -- Dr. Richard B.

[nooby q] 'linked' text flow
Hi again - just a newbie trying to wear out his welcome. In programs like pagemaker, or scribus its possible to place boxes at (often indiscriminant) places throught a document, and have a 'story' flow through them. I imagine given the 'structured' nature of lyx that this isn't possible? Correct? Is it however possible to use some LaTeX tricks to achieve this? Perhaps use LaTex to 'flow' a Lyx 'article' through some equivalent? Another possible solution? At this point I'm not asking for a detailed solution (unless you've just got to much time on your hands), rather just to know If I'm barking up the wrong tree completely, or is it worth investigating further (and if so a possible starting poing ;-) )?
[noob q] Recursive sections?
Hi I'm completely new to lyx, latex and tex (I've successfully avoided them for years - all looked too intimidating). I've done the very easy lyx intro and tutorial. I'm liking lyx (no pun) and tried using it today to do some 'real' work. I'm using using the default set of styles (is styles the correct word) with section, subsection etc - but am running out of nested 'sections'. Docbook SGML in its DTD has two type of 'section' tags the set and also the tag, which allows you in theory to keep nesting tags. I've never pushed it though, to see what the standard style sheets will deal with in practice however. Is there a template or layout readily available for lyx that will provide that type of functionality? Alternatively what are my other options for deeper nesting of subsections? Thanks Glenn
