Insert preamble code when one of two styles are in use
Suppose I create two styles.
When Style 1 is in use, I want the LyX editor to add to the preamble the
following code:
usepackage{x}
latex code for style 1
When style 2 is in use, I want to add to the preamble the following
code:
usepackage{x}
latex code for style 2
What I do now to achieve this is
Style Style1
LatexType Environment
LatexName style1
Preamble
usepackage{x}
latex code for style 1
EndPreamble
End
and
Style Style2
LatexType Environment
LatexName style2
DependsOn Style1 #
Preamble
latex code for style 2
EndPreamble
End
but this is somewhat inefficient.
I am looking for a way to add the common line-of-code (usepackage{x}) in
this case when whichever style is used.
So if I use only Style2 in my document, the latex code for style
1 is not inserted.
Any idea?

Re: Remove the maketitle command
> you could use the TitleLaTeXName layout tag and set it to a dummy command Nice. Can you point me to where the "command" TitleLatexName is defined? Thanks very much. -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Remove the maketitle command
In a lyx document, after inserting either title, author or date insets,
lyx automatically puts a maketitle command after begin{document}.
I want to have in my document a \title{} and an `\author{}` but I don't
want the `\maketitle`.
Is there any way to tell LyX not put it at all?
(The other way is to do `\renewcommand{\maketitle}{}` but it does not
affect the default behavior of LyX)

Add parameter to the index entry
I want to insert a "people" index into my document so that an index
entry has the
[people]
"parameter" appended to it. Like this:
\index[people]{Dirac, Paul} and \index[people]{Maxwell, James Clerk}
So I want to make some changes to the index entry that is defined in the
stdinsets.inc file.
I tried to insert the following lines in my local layout but it gives me
'\index{peopleDirac, Paul}' instead of '\index[people]{Dirac, Paul}':
InsetLayout Index
LabelString Idx
Decorationclassic
Font
SizeSmall
EndFont
LabelFont
Color indexlabel
SizeSmall
EndFont
LatexParam people #< New
MultiPar false
CustomParsfalse
ForcePlaintrue
ContentAsLabeltrue
PassThruChars @|!
End
Any idea how to achieve it?

Re: LatexParam before Argument
I actually adopted the "add a second argument" approach, but I like the first solution. Thanks very much! -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
LatexParam before Argument
I want to create the following latex code in my Lyx document:
begin{myenv}{}
[arg 1]
code
end{myenv}
So I inserted this into the Local Layout:
Style myenv
LatexType Environment
LatexName myenv
LatexParam "{}"
Argument 1
LabelString "entry 1"
AutoInsert 1
LeftDelim "["
RightDelim "]"
EndArgument
End
But turns out that LyX sweeps the order of "Argument" and "LatexParam",
because what this local layout gives is
begin{myenv}
[arg 1]{}
code
end{myenv}
Any idea how to solve it? Or a different approach to get the code I
want?

Re: Insert an empty line in beamer
Kind of.
Inside a frame, it puts the cursor outside the last \end{frame}
line and suggests me to insert a new frame with a new frame title
etc.
If not inside a frame (which is non sense in beamer) it does
create an empty line.

Insert an empty line in beamer
I want to print the following in my beamer document: " First line Second line " The beamer lyx doc class allows the user to insert empty line in the Standard layout. But even if insert more than 2 empty lines between "First line" and "Second line" in lyx, still there is no any empty line (or more correctly a \par command between them) in the generated latex file. Any idea how to insert a (real) empty line in the editor?

I want to create a shortcut to insert the short thin red line that separates frames when the document class is Beamer. I know how to create shortcuts, I just don't know the name of the "function" that actually inserts this red line. In the lyx file this red line is called "Separator plain".

Syncing skim with LyX
I am using macOS and until now, after compiling the lyx file (to tex and then) to a pdf file, the output was opened by the default pdf viewer (macOS Preview, on my computer). I want to use the pdf viewer "Skim" to open the compiled pdf, with mainly the advantage that there are no page jumps after making changes to the document. What are the steps needed to change this in LyX in order to implement skim as the pdf viewer? The closest thing I came across until now is appendix C in the User manual, section File Handling, and section 3 in the customization manual, "The Preferences dialog". It was a first reading and I haven't grasped everything, but at the moment I am not sure if my answer is covered there at all. Therefore my question is if those are the places to look at all, and if someone can maybe redirect me to a short guide for that?-- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Re: margin figure's label counter
Just tried it. It effectively sets the new Style a counter of its own, indifferent to what is the chapter or section or any other parent counter. That is: Margin figure 1, margin figure 2 in chapter 1, margin figure 3 in chapter 2 etc. --- Original Message --- On Saturday, July 16th, 2022 at 8:47 PM, Jean-Marc Lasgouttes wrote: > Le 16/07/2022 à 21:03, Ehud Behar via lyx-users a écrit : > > > I want to define a new float in my document - margin figure. > > > > I defined a new float using a module file with a Style: > > > > Float > > Type marginfigure > > GuiName MarginFigure > > NumberWithin figure # < > > RefPrefix fig > > more commands etc. > > End > > > > The document class is book, and inside chapter 1, as you can see in the > > attached image, I inserted a regular figure, followed by a margin > > figure.

margin figure's label counter
I want to define a new float in my document - margin figure. I defined a new float using a module file with a Style: Float Type marginfigure GuiName MarginFigure NumberWithin figure # < RefPrefix fig more commands etc. End The document class is book, and inside chapter 1, as you can see in the attached image, I inserted a regular figure, followed by a margin figure. The margin figure counter in the editor is 1.1.1, since it is in chapter one, and it inherited the first number inside the figure counter. I want the margin figure to have the label 1.2 (which logically makes more sense if you treat figure and marginfigure on an equal footing). What amendments should I make to the Style to get it changed the way I want?-- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
