 The column separator has nothing to do with multitoc. It's set via:
  \setlength\columnseprule{1pt}
 or whatever length you like.

Novice: How to change the headings color of a document

2012-01-19 Thread nomnex
I do not know what package and what command to pass in a document
preamble to change the color of all the headings (Chapter, section,
sub-sec, etc...), from the default black to another color e.g. dark
blue. I do not need to change the color of the header/footer, which
probably request a different package or set of commands.

Google  the list archive did not help much with my level of knowledge.
I got a hint (see below), about changing the document class, but
I don't know how:

The reason, as Jurgen pointed out, is because the chapter headings turn
up in the page headers---not to mention the TOC. So you really don't
want to change its color anyway, not manually. If you want chapter
headings to be colored, you change that in the document class. 

I probably need \usepackage{color} + a command to color all the
document headings.

Thanks

Novice: Text in the middle of the page

2012-01-19 Thread nomnex
My apology for many questions in a row. I am a bit overwhelmed with the
doc.

the default lyx (either article, or report class) document margins --
probably for typographical reason -- do not center the text on the
page. The left margin is larger than the right margin.

What is the best way to have the text in the middle of the page:

a. Can I use the {geometry} package in the preamble, and what is the
command to pass.

b. Else, should I set Document margins manually (there is no
indication of the default L/R margin values).

Thank you.

Google & the list archive did not help much with my level of knowledge.
I got a hint (see below), about changing the document class, but
I don't know how:

"The reason, as Jurgen pointed out, is because the chapter headings turn
up in the page headers---not to mention the TOC. So you really don't
want to change its color anyway, not manually. If you want chapter
headings to be colored, you change that in the document class. "

I probably need \usepackage{color} + a command to color all the
document headings.

Thanks

Novice: TOC in 2 columns

2012-01-19 Thread nomnex
Most of the PDF manuals in the latex doc directory have:
- "Content" title is centered
- 2 column TOC.

How can I do that in LyX?

When I use the package {multicol}
\begin{multicols}{2}
TOC
\end{multicols}

The TOC title "Content" is in the first column and it looks bad.

What's the proper way?

Thanks

I have to \usepackage{multitoc}, but default it outputs a 2 columns
TOC.

Can someone help me with the command to set a "|" vertical bar
separation. I don't understand how to do it, reading the multitoc tex
manual.

The multitoc manual (PDF) displays a vertical separator bar "|" between
the TOC 2 columns. I believe it is the default, but it may (assumption)
conflict with the lyx TOC feature.

\usepackage[toc]{multitoc} in the doc preamble creates a 2 columns TOC,
but there is no column separator.

I have been looking at the file
http://www.tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ms/multitoc.sty

It is above my competence, but I wonder if I have use a
"charactertable" (see below) in the preamble and how. Can
somebody help me? Thank you.

%% \CharacterTable

%%  Equals\= Greater than  \> Question mark \?

Novice: Text in the middle of the page

2012-01-19 Thread nomnex
My apology for many questions in a row. I am a bit overwhelmed with the
doc.

the default lyx (either article, or report class) document margins --
probably for typographical reason -- do not center the text on the
page. The left margin is larger than the right margin.

What is the best way to have the text in the middle of the page:

a. Can I use the {geometry} package in the preamble, and what is the
command to pass.

b. Else, should I set Document margins manually (there is no
indication of the default L/R margin values).

Thank you.

Hello Richard,
I do not understand the command syntax to pass in the
preamble, after reading the titlesec PDF manual PDF. I am a
complete novice.

Could you provide an example or two; let say I want to change my 
document Section headings to a dark blue color. What is the exact
command to pass in the document preamble. 

==
\usepakage{titlesec}
then what?

This fails and generates an error message when I view to DVI

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat*{\section}{\color{blue}}

Another version (found on http://tex.stackexchange.com) fails equally.

\titleformat{\section}
  {\normalfont\sffamily\Large\bfseries\color{blue}}

Thank you Jurgen, I was missing to add the "color" or "xcolor" package.

I would like to keep the default article class settings of the
Chapt/Section/Sub-sec/etc. and only change their color*.

a. Where can I find the font information for the
Chapt/Section/Sub-sec...
b. Could you help with, say, the "Section"
command, so that I have an idea of the complete syntax to pass in the
preamble [size, font, etc.].

Thanks in advance,
nomnex

*in the same way \addtokomafont{sectioning}{\color{blue}} works with
the KOMA-Script.

 The advantage of this approach is that it gives the most recent

Sorry for replying late. I am currently reading the LyX guides,
before to start a LaTex book. LyX is a great piece of software, and I
like it.

I am now aware that my question is not LyX related, but some
Fedora experienced users on the list might want to help with the issue:

I am a Fedora desktop user. The Fedora repository Texlive version is old
(2007), and some parts (modules?) are missing due to license problems,
among which: Japanese input CJK, some fonts, etc.
Installing LyX from the repository install Texlive2007 as one of the
dependencies and everything works out of the box.

I am left with 2 choices:

a. As suggested by José Mato, installing the Fedora testing Texlive2011
version.

b. Installing the Texlive2011 ISO.

Method A would be the easiest, with my level of knowledge. However
reading the Fedora forum, it is not recommended [It is not a statement,
this is what I read, see url below] (I am not positive if the CJK module
(or Ptex ?) - and some Japanese document classes - are include with
this version. CJK is what I need most).

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=262135mode=linear
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive

Method B might be optimal, but I am worry about dependencies
problems. The proper installation itself. And the latex front-end
software settings (I have installed LyX and Texmaker).

I could use some advice.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for replying late. I am currently reading the LyX guides,
before to start a LaTex book. LyX is a great piece of software, and I
like it.

I am now aware that my question is not LyX related, but some
Fedora experienced users on the list might want to help with the issue:

I am a Fedora desktop user. The Fedora repository Texlive version is old
(2007), and some parts (modules?) are missing due to license problems,
among which: Japanese input "CJK", some fonts, etc.
Installing LyX from the repository install Texlive2007 as one of the
dependencies and everything works out of the box.

I am left with 2 choices:

a. As suggested by José Mato, installing the Fedora testing Texlive2011
version.

b. Installing the Texlive2011 ISO.

Method "A" would be the easiest, with my level of knowledge. However
reading the Fedora forum, it is not recommended [It is not a statement,
this is what I read, see url below] (I am not positive if the CJK module
(or Ptex ?) - and some Japanese document classes - are include with
this version. CJK is what I need most).

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=262135=linear
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive

Method "B" might be optimal, but I am worry about dependencies
problems. The proper installation itself. And the latex front-end
software settings (I have installed LyX and Texmaker).

I could use some advice.
Thanks in advance.

I guess I can. I am using Fedroa 15 LXDE, LyX 2.0.2, and the official
outdated Textlive 2007 from the repo. I have tried, and once I remove
the package unsupported by my textlive version (Doc  Settings 
preamble), I can export to pdf/dvi. LyX crashes immediately (LyX
closes). It generates a ABRT (automated bug reporting tool) report.

I am aware the file is in German. I am also a beginner (I installed LyX

Hello, Jürgen. It looks like the problem as been solved. Anyway, for

I preview the file to PDF or DVI.

I am not sure if it is related with the OP and the bug, or simply with
my configuration. I open the file. I remove the module convington,
and the command in the preamble. Then, I preview to pdf/dvi.
