Best font for printed output

2008-03-08 Thread Laurent Duperval
Hi,

From all the myriads of fonts available for LyX and LaTeX,  which ones are
the best for printed output? I've been using the default, but I find it a
bit thin (or light) so I was wondering if there was a better
recommendation. While I'm at it, what are some of the good roman/sans/type
combinations for printed legibility (not on-screen PDFs).

Unable to launch Lyx 1.5.3 on Vista

Hi,

For some reason, launching Lyx 1.5.3 on Vista fails, completely and utterly. I
get a message window saying the program requested the Runtime to terminate it
for an unknown reason.

It was working fine last week. Heck, it was working fine yesterday. The only
difference between yesterday and today is that I installed AVG Anti-virus on my

Is that the cause? Has anyone ever seen this?

Koma letter: make first page longer

2008-02-08 Thread Laurent Duperval
Hi,

I noticed that the first page of a Koma letter2 is shorter than the rest
of the pages. How can I make it be the same length? The reason I want this
is because I have two lines of text on the second page of a two-page
letter. I want it all on the first page, and it looks like it should fit
correctly.

Thanks,

HTML output without styles

2007-10-15 Thread Laurent Duperval
Hi,

I sometimes need to export to HTML without style sheets. Basically, I only
want the proper tags, no classes, no stylesheets, plain Jane output. Is
this possible?

Right now, I export to HTML then I have to manually delete all style
information. It makes the process longer and more painful than it should
be.

I use HEVEA as an output engine but I'm open to using other engines. As
long as everything is exported in a single HTML file, that's fine by me.

Thanks,

Thanks for this. It really should be added in the User Guide, since it's 
only a couple of lines:


If you want to remove something from a branch, but your cursor at the 
beginning of the branch and press the Backspace key. This will remove 
the surrounding inset for that branch.


Another thing that could use a little explanation is how to insert 
branches correctly when the branch contains a heading. This is what I mean.


I have a document will be printed in two or three different formats. 
Some versions of the document will show different headings/text. So what 
  I did was this:


- I created my text normally
- I Went back and selected the text I wanted, then did Insert  Branch

This cause a branch to be inserted, but the formatting was off. The 
LaTeX code was


\section{}

Which caused a number, with no text, to appear on the page. Not very 
good. After putzing around a bit, I realized that when you insert a 
branch, the format of the paragraph where you do the Insert /must/ be 
standard. Then, you do any extra paragraph formatting inside the inset.


An explanation of this might be useful in the User's Guide also.

I want to create a document that contains different printing options for
certain paragraphs. 

For example, let's say I have a series of questions and answers, I want to
produce three types of output:

1. A question followed by the answer.
2. Only show the questions.
3. Only show the questions but as \sections or \subsections, not sure
which yet.

Is this feasible?

 Certainly, but you may need to edit the LaTeX class file to get it to 
 work. That said, you might just be able to use the remreset package, 
 which you can find (as usual) at ctan.org. Try in the preamble:
 \makeatletter
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 \makeatother
 To get LyX to behave as you want, you'll have to edit the layout files.
 

Hmmm... Ok, once I have all my stuff ready I'll look at that.

Continuous section numbers

2007-09-21 Thread Laurent Duperval
Hi,

I want to create a document where I have multiple chapters, but I want
\section numbers to continue. I.e. something that looks like this:

Chapter 1
1 A Section
2 A Section
3 A Section

Chapter 2
4 A Section
5 A Section
6 A Section
7 A Section

Chapter 4
8 A Section
9 A Section

Is this possible?

Conditional printing and formatting

2007-09-21 Thread Laurent Duperval
Hi,

I want to create a document that contains different printing options for
certain paragraphs. 

For example, let's say I have a series of questions and answers, I want to
produce three types of output:

1. A question followed by the answer.
2. Only show the questions.
3. Only show the questions but as \sections or \subsections, not sure
which yet.

Is this feasible?

 Certainly, but you may need to edit the LaTeX class file to get it to 
 work. That said, you might just be able to use the remreset package, 
 which you can find (as usual) at ctan.org. Try in the preamble:
 \makeatletter
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 \makeatother
 To get LyX to behave as you want, you'll have to edit the layout files.
 

Hmmm... Ok, once I have all my stuff ready I'll look at that.

Thanks!

Does true TTF work in LyX on Linux

2007-09-12 Thread Laurent Duperval
Him,

I am using Ubuntu Feisty. I want to create PDF documents with LyX that use
well-defined (not fuzzy) fonts.

I understand the whole pixmap thing and for printing, they're great.

But in all the PDF files I produce, they look fuzzy. I tried the lmodern
and the ae thing, but they are still fuzzy on screen. I need to produce a
PDF document that does not fuzz up when I zoom to 200% or 300%.

So far, I haven't been able to do that on Linux. Is it possible at all
with LyX? Or do I need to go the OpenOffice route?

Or am I missing something with the explanations on the Wiki? If you have
used them, especially on Linux, and the PDF documents are as clear when
exporting from OpenOffice, please share how you did it.

Viewing two documents simultaneously

2007-09-10 Thread Laurent Duperval
Hi,

I often do translation work and I would like to see documents side by side
or one abofe the other. Other than opening two instances of Lyx, is there
another way to do this?

Multi-paragraph description

2006-10-07 Thread Laurent Duperval
Hello,

Is it possible to create a multi-paragraph description in LyX, the same
way you can do so in LaTex? Something like this:

\begin{description}
\item[Para] This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
   The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.

   This is another paragraph under the Para item.

   \begin{description}
   \item[Sub-Item] This is a description of an item which is within the
  Para item.

   \item[Sub-Item] Another sub-item.
   \end{description}
\item[Short] A short item that's not part of that really long Para item.
\end{description}

Thanks,

HTML export: ALT tag for images uses TeX code

2002-03-18 Thread laurent . duperval

Hi,

I noticed that when exporting my LyX files to HTML, the ALT tag of my
figures consists of the TeX code needed to load the image in the document.
How can I make LyX use the caption of my figure instead?

Thanks,

L

P.S. I vote for the newsgroup with a gateway to the mailing list. One list I
subscribe to (I think it was postgres) was a closed list (unlike LyX) and
had a news gateway. The way it worked was that you could only post to the NG
if you were subscribed. In your mailing list options, you could say that you
only wanted to use NNTP, then you didn't get any email in your box.

 You can define your own keybinding for this if you need it quite often. Or
 you copy the attached gm.bind to your ~/.lyx/bind directory, edit to your
 personal taste and set it in the settings menu as bind-file.  Then,
 Alt-Shift-Return should do the desired action. (The desired
 binding is the last line in gm.bind, you can also just copy this to your
 bind-file.)
 

Thanks I'll try that.
