widows and orphans
I have been trying Herbert Voss's solution for widow and orphan control (http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/layouts/widows.html). I tried the first solution, and I tried the second as an addition to the first, which is what I understood I was supposed to do if the first didn't work. The first solution doesn't seem to have any effect by itself-- I still get one line hanging over, and sometimes the line is just two words long! The second generates an error-- something wrong with the first line. I've made double sure that I don't have typos, though I don't deny there might be an error in there that I missed. Has anybody tried these solutions with success? Is there some other command or package on which these solutions depend, which is not mentioned on the webpage? Part of the problem is that since I don't quite understand how those examples are supposed to work, I can't tweak it. Suggestions anyone?

thoughts on the LyX gui.
Since there has been some discussion of incorporation of Python into LyX, let me say that I think this is something like what I wanted when I posted that strange request some time ago (I don't remember how I put it: I think I talked about having the ability to integrate other applications' guis into the LyX gui). Since that last post, I realized that what I wanted was plugins. For intance, since then I've thought of writing little dialogues to control frequently used packages, which have lots of little options I might want to change from time to time. A prime example is jurabib, which has too many options for me to remember them. I just plain slows me down to have to pull up the documentation and sort through all the little options to find the one's I need. So I guess this is in one sense a 'second' to the discussion of Python, along with a reminder of and clarification of my original post. In addition, I have a few other thoughts to offer. I don't know how customizable menus are in LyX-- I haven't had the time to look into the docs. However, I think it would be quite a nice feature to have one of those little menus to pop up with a click in the application window. That is one thing I -do- like about the behemoth WYSIWYG applications, which I otherwise despise. This menu should be *fully* customizable (as should everything in LyX) And with that, may I add my voice to that of others who, over the years, have made known their appreciation for all the hard work and thought that has gone into making LyX the fabulous application it is.
Re: thoughts on the LyX gui.
Is that what a troll is! I always wondered what people were talking about when they complained about them. Thanks for the heads up on the menus being configurable--probably an obvious thing that I have never had the occasion to need, and therefore to know about. But I perhaps should have omitted that, since it seems to have drawn attention from the real point of the suggestion, which was the additional menu to pop up in the application window. Yes, that is the thing, which I forgot to emphasize: I really like LyX, and I did not intented by any means to say, that I would prefer that _other_ program which has the support for scripts. I do not want, by any means, be one of those trolls, who quarell on support lists, that the program has not all the bells and whistles of the proprietary competitor. Just some thoughts were going around. :-) Matej

Re: Layout things (humaniora)
Have a look at jurabib: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~jberger/ for the footnotes. You will find that it handles citations in footnotes in a relatively flexible way. You can also download the bst file jachicago, which is a modification of achicago.bst made to work with the jurabib.sty file. 4. References to the former: I see that lyx makes square brackets (which I can't seem to procuce on this terminal) around references in text. The Department wants me to refer in footnotes and not in the text, which make these inappropriate (what? how do you spell that?). Same goes in the References in the end:

Re: I get only partial dvi/ps output
I'm using 1.1.6. The document was created in that version.
No figures in the document.
I haven't tried printing it on paper. I tried printing it to file and got the
same stuff, so I figured priting to paper would do the same as printing to file.
The line that ends page four is "...extrinsic denomination of existing in a
place. But this" and then it stops. I don't see anything in the code that could
be a mistake. But then I might just not know enough.
Also, I did try just copying the text into another document, in case something
had gotten corrupted. That didn't work either.

List of fonts in Document popup
I found something in the archives from someone who wanted to know where LyX gets the list of fonts that shows up in the Document popup. The answer was, well, typical of this list ;-) -- namely, 'you don't want more fonts there-- load them by hand from the preamble'. Now, I don't want -every- font in there, but I would like a few more than I have now. So: Where does LyX get that list, and how do I get more fonts into it?

I found something in the archives from someone who wanted to know where LyX gets the list of fonts that shows up in the Document popup. The answer was, well, typical of this list ;-) -- namely, 'you don't want more fonts there-- load them by hand from the preamble'. Now, I don't want -every- font in there, but I would like a few more than I have now. So: Where does LyX get that list, and how do I get more fonts into it?

Re: \vspace in multicols{}
Couple of things: in the paragraph dialogue, you can set vfill above and below,
and you can "keep" it. Try playing around with this.
Also, the multicol package tries to adjust stuff to fill the whole column. If
you specify \raggedcolumns then you can override this behavior and specify your
own pushings around.

Can someone help explain how to put some extra blank vertical

in a 3-column page, I can put \vspace*{10in} or whatever, and
push the subsequent text to the bottom of the first column.
But I can't seem to push it to the top of the second column!
If I add more space, it seems to simply push the text further
down, off the bottom of the page. If I put a \newpage in the
first column, it gives me an entire blank page, starting the
text at the top of the next page.
I can't seem to get the text to flow gracefully between columns

RTF: changing linespacing for a single paragraph
I have two inputted files in my document, I need their contents to be
doublespaced rather than single spaced, which is the document default.
I tried a couple of things, searched around Herbert Voss's site and the LyX
help, but didn't find the answer.
Tried telling LyX not to typeset the file, while setting spacing to double in
the source files. No dice.
Tried using a minipage and \renewcommand\baselineskip{2}. No dice.
Tried the same as above, only without the above.
All the various concoctions I try either do nothing, or they generate tons of
errors. In case the input thing is a problem, I don't have to have to have
it that way. But I would like to. This is kind of a pressing matter, so a quick
fix speedy solution would be appreciated.
Thanks, all!

Section symbol (was misc. bib questions)
I recently asked how I can get a section symbol (that funny doubled-up 's'-looking thing) into a bibtex database. I should have made my question a bit more general than that. Problem is, I just don't know how to get that symbol -anywhere-. The answer to my question was, "Maybe using latin1 input encoding and typing in the symbol ?" My keyboard does not have a key with that symbol on it. No key combination I try produces it. I used a font viewer to try to find the font that includes the symbol. For each font, I typed every key combination. Nothing produced the symbol. I do have encoding in set to Latin1 in LyX. But I can't "just type the symbol" if I don't know what keys to press. Clearly, the answer is supposed to be obvious. Nevertheless, I need a useful answer, or at least a helpful clue.

Re: Lyx and QNX
Isn't it the case that the next version of LyX will have the option to compile with other toolkits, such as GTK? This might solve your problem, but you will have to wait a bit.

Re: Where to download teTeX - 1.07
That file should be on your cd. I am using mdk 7.1, and the file is simply tetex-blahblah.rpm. Do a 'ls *tetex*' to see all the tetex rpms. If for some reason it really isn't on your cd, (and its not on the other cd either) then you can go a couple of places. Lots of ftp sites mirror sunsite: ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/... where you can find the latest mandrake, among lots of other distributions. Otherwise, you can check this site, which I find helpful in a general way: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM

Re: Cleaning up (was multicols and tabbing)
Well... I guess I got it figured out afterall. I figured out the \parbox stuff,
and I figured out that if I produce the document in Legal/Landscape and then
put gv into portrait, I can see the document properly (except that it's
sideways). I got both pages to show up... I am not sure what exactly I did to
fix that. Anyway, here's the example file just for the heck of it. Maybe you
know why I have to put gv into portrait in order to see the whole thing.

Re: Cleaning up (was multicols and tabbing)
Well... I guess I got it figured out afterall. I figured out the \parbox stuff,
and I figured out that if I produce the document in Legal/Landscape and then
put gv into portrait, I can see the document properly (except that it's
sideways). I got both pages to show up... I am not sure what exactly I did to
fix that. Anyway, here's the example file just for the heck of it. Maybe you
know why I have to put gv into portrait in order to see the whole thing.

Cleaning up (was multicols and tabbing)
Works like a charm. Thanks again.
So here is some minor stuff left to address with this project of mine:
First, I still have the problem I had before, with the \fbox and \parbox stuff.
Second, I am printing this on USLegal, with .25in margins all around, and .50in
columnsep (3 cols). It prints out just like I expect it, but the PostScript
output is screwy. (1) Nothing past the second column appears, and (2) though it
is a two pager, only one page shows up (though both of them print). None of
this happens when I make a custom size, increasing the USLegal width by one
inch in Landscape, nor does it happen when I use letter size, in any
orientation, or Legal in portrait orientation. So. The problem is exclusively
with USLegal, landscape orientation. What is the problem?

Your solution worked MUCH better, since mine, though it kept the text within
the column, left the \parbox extended too far to the right (left margin was OK),
leaving only about 1cm of margin between the text and the right-hand column
edge. I had tried using other variables than \columnwidth, such as \linewidth,
but to no avail.
i thought that there must be a better solution, like a lyx one ;-)
here it comes:
save the following attached lyx-styles in ~/.lyx.layouts.
insert in ~./lyx/layouts/stdclass.inc a line
Input myPar.layout
restart lyx and you have the two paragraph-styles myParI and myParII
within lyx. the also attached lyx-file tab.lyx shows the use of these
layouts. it works only when you've installed the myPar-styles correct.

multicols and tabbing
Thanks to Herr Voss for the tabbing example file. And thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I decieded to go with latex tabbing. This introduces a problem which seems to derive from my use of another package, namely the multicols package. My document needs to be trifold, three columns. Hence my use of multicols. However, tabbing seems to ignore the fact that there are more than two columns in the document, so that anything within the tabbing environment, though it starts in the correct column, goes right across the page. So in the printout I get text on top of text. In the ps file text just dissappears past a given column. (This is also why I can't use a table, which I tried the first time.) I would manually insert breaks in the tabbed section, but since I need block-justified text, this (unelegant) solution won't do this time. So what do I do?

I need 'tabs' effect from LyX
I need to make paragraphs appear thusly: Q. XX blah blah blah A. blah blah blah Q. XX blah blah blah A. blah blah blah ... It's something like a dialogue, where each paragraph has some preceeding mark, like in enumerate. So I need an environment the achieves the same effect as what tabs to in other wps. I didn't immediately see that enumerate will allow me to give unique labels to each line, and "dialogue" (part of "frankenstein") doesn't do the trick either (as far as I can tell). So what do I use to get this effect?

Re: Helvetica.sty?
Aside from the good practical advice other people have offered, I would also suggest that you chew their ears a bit. As an aside, I was looking at the website of a local university in one of those "Maybe I should apply for a better-paid job" moods. The application form was a downloadable MS Word document. I hit my Back button. Robin I -ALWAYS- do the chewing out. If someone sends me a .doc I send it back (yes, I reinclude it in MIME, so -they- have to download it over their 33.6 connection too) and ask them to please employ proper computer etiquet in choosing a portable format. (But the problem isn't just with .doc files-- some people don't know that there are other ways to compress files than to make an .exe self extractable-- that really chaps my hide).

Re: spellchecker feature suggestion
I think in case two intended words are (mis)spelled in the same way. In that case, when the spellchecker bypasses you, you don't catch it. But I think that occurrence is rare.

Annother feature would be the option to remove words you added to your dictionary. Because I am sloppy at 3.00 in the morning, I sometimes hit "add to dictionary" on a word that shouldn't be added.

Re: Specifying explicit point sizes
When I was home for break over Christmas, I was forced to use MSWord. It was precisely the way it handled font sizes that had me all frustrated. - Part of the beauty and new paradigm (WYSIWYM) of LyX is precisely that it - does not bother the user with exact type sizes etc. Just went through - reformatting a cv using LyX. In 15 minutes I had a beautifully formatted cv - using the class "article" without setting a single font size. I started using lyx with version 0.10 or so while in college (second time around). Once I got used to the 'new' way of doing things I found it was _much_ faster to create good looking papers with Lyx than with Word or Wordperfect precisely because I never had to worry about font sizes or paragraph spacing or such. You have no idea how valuable it is to a student to be able to type it in, spell check, a few clicks for formatting, and print it out. Saved me hours of time I could use for studying. Sometimes even left me time for the wife and kids.

spellchecker feature suggestion
When I spell a word wrong, I tend to spell it consistently wrong. A 'correct all' feature in the spellchecker would be nice.
Once more, frankenstein
I need to cite things in a manuscript style. Thus, a work which gets full citation appears in the References section or in a footnote, but needs to be cited in the text with an abbreviation, like this: "(AG 245)". No comma. And I need the following possibility as well: "(AG 245; G 34)". Now, I could jut type out parentheses and put an abbreviation in them. I'll do that if I have to. But a \cite command is more elegant and flexible. I've basically decided I can't do this with frankenstein (which features the achicago sty and bst files among others). What else can I use? I like the way achicago makes my References. Or if I can do it with frankenstein then someone please tell me how.

feature suggestion -- extending LyX interface
This is perhaps a stretch. But a while back I asked if there were plans to support having documents open in multiple panes (I'm excited about this feature!). It occurs to me that perhaps the same feature could be extended to include showing another application in a pane? Something like the docked apps that many WMs support? The reason: I often add bib entries as I write. I often forget the keys. Consequently, I have to keep an editor open along with LyX. But I like LyX to be full-screen. So I have to make a little space, hang the editor barely over the edge of LyX, and switch between. I just gets plain awkward, and it clutters up my desktop! So many bib editors work 'seamlessly' with LyX... providing facility for extending LyX's interface 'seamlessly' makes sense. And I imagine it would be useful for other, non bib-related applications, which I haven't discovered I need yet. Just a thought-- I can guess that it would be complicated to do, and there might not seem to be a great need for it. It simply would be nice, adding to the flexibility of an already superb piece of software!
frankenstein
Hey, in case anyone knows the frankenstein package... I have a question or two. I'm trying to figure out the bibstyle-- 1) @inbook and @incollection have crossreffs to an @book entry. The two entries (@inbook/incollection and @book) both should appear in the References list, seperately, even though the cite referred only to the @in*. They don't-- only the @in* shows up. (I tried \nocite, but that didn't do the trick--maybe I missed something?) 2) A work is edited and translated by the same (long list of) people. achicago duplicates that list each time, when it should do it only once (with a 'ed. and trans. XXX, XXX, ...'). 3) I want the book to appear in the References list by author, but I want to site it by translator/editor (two collections / translations of the same guy's work), as in what happens with a list of abbreviations included at the beginning of a work, or declared in the text "Leibniz, Ariew and Garber (Henceforth, A.G.)" or some such, to be distinguished from "Leibniz, XXX (Henceforth G.)". Looking through the documentation for the Frankenstein package, I see how this might be possible, using incantations from the various packages Frankenstein provides, but I fail to put those incantations together in a way that works.

Re: Desktop icon
Launchers and stuff are handled in several different ways by the several different window managers out there. Both Gnome and KDE provide easy ways to set these up, and you can tell them to use the LyX icon provided. For window manager that don't provide launchers, less elegant solutions include starting LyX automatically when you start the wm, inconified. Again, wm-specific. On Mon, 29 Jan 2001, you wrote: Hi LyX people! Just a little question: I'd like to have a LyX icon on my desktop to quickly launch the program! Doesn't the LyX team have released anyone?

Re: BibTeX problem
Just making sure-- the item you are crossrefing must appear -after- the
crossrefing entry in your database file. Thus: your @book must appear after your
@inbook.
On Fri, 26 Jan 2001, you wrote:
I think I am doing a stupid error in my bibtex files.
I cannot use crossref. Both from within Lyx and from running direct
LaTeX, the "missing" fields are not added -- regardless the style I use.
I followed the instructions given in the standard manuals regarding
order of entries.
Example (partially faked):
@InBook{Ludwig:Musik,
Author = {Ludwig, Friedrich},
Title = {Die geistliche nichtliturgische {M}usik},
Pages = {157-295},
crossref = {Adler:Handbuch},
}
should be crossreferenced to:
@Book{Adler:Handbuch,
Author = {Adler, Guido},
Title = {Handbuch der {M}usikgeschichte},
Publisher = {Keller},
Address= {Berlin},
Note = {2 voll.},
booktitle = {Handbuch der {M}usikgeschichte},
year = 1930,
}
In the output, the booktitle (Handbuch der {M}usikgeschichte) is
missing.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
