Creating a new module : some questions and suggestion for the documentation

2011-10-31 Thread Murat Yildizoglu 
I continue not to have the optional short title in the contextual menu with
my environments in the module.

Moreover, for the \sage;{} command that can be used, I am trying to explore
the insets avenue, trying to get inspired by the FixMe module.

I have inserted the following element in my module file:

InsetLayout sagecommand
LyXType   custom
 LabelString   Sage
LatexType command
LatexName sage
 Decorationclassic
Font
  Color   magenta
  Family  Typewriter
EndFont
MultiPar  false
 OptionalArgs  0
End

But I cannot see this sagecommand inset in the Insert / Custom insets menu,
even if I can see there the ones created by the FixMe module in another
empty test file I have created, in which I have added the FixMe module.
What am I doing wrong here again?

I am really lost with this module affair, I have checked the Lyx Docs, the
tutorials by Rob Oakes and Steve Litt. But, the documentation does not
really explain the articulation of different elements of definition, what
they are supposed to do in Lyx and what they do in the exported LateX file.
I am trying to advance through trial and error, but this takes a lot of
time...

It would be nice to have some examples for the must common Latex constructs
in the documentation I think:

- a simple environment (like \begin{myenvironment}  \end{myEnvironment}
)
- an environment that accepts optional arguments
(like  \begin{myenvironment}[myOption]  \end{myEnvironment} )
- a simple inline command (like \myCommand{} )
- an inline command that accepts options (like  \myCommand[myOption]{} )
- a simple list environment
- a list environment that accepts options.
- a simple float
- a float with options.

That (+ other things that I probably forget now) would cover the basic
needs for easily building new modules.
Also a more complete explanation of the role of different options in
relation with Lyx Nad Latex would be very welcome.

These are suggestions from a person who tries to write his first module. I
am somewhat knowledgeable in Latex, maybe less in Lyx, even if I have been
using it for some years.

-- Previous message --


Now, I have been able to test it, but when I right-click in the paragraph
marked as sageplot, I do not get this option in the contextual-menu. What
do I need to give as specification during the definition of this command
style to get this option from LyX?

Current definition in the module is:

Style sageplot
 LatexType Command
 LatexName sageplot
OptionalArgs  1
 FreeSpacing   1
 PassThru  1
Spellcheck   0
 TextFont
   Color   latex
  Family  Typewriter
 EndFont
End

I would have thought that OptionalArgs 1 would suffice.

 Right click on the line containing the paragraph style, choose Insert
 short title and watch what happens in View-View Source.
 Unfortunatelly, no other way of doing this for now.

Re: Creating a new module : some questions and suggestion for the documentation

2011-10-31 Thread PhilipPirrip 
If someone from the documentation list is reading this, I'd kindly ask 
not to refer to the description of the options already mentioned, it 
adds to the confusion. I think it's better to repeat rather than force 
user to jump up and down.

Try this one, first in Local layout of Document settings. And please 
read the Customization manual more carefully.


Also, try to study some standard insets, like
stdcharstyles.inc   stdsections.inc  stdfloats.inc
stdinsets.inc stdlayouts.inc

Hi Philip,

The inset problem has been solved (see my previous mail, sorry for filling
your mailboxes). The inline \sage command works nicely now, using
Flex:sagecommand in the declaration of the InsetLayout

Remains the problem with the option of \sageplot command, through the
contextual menu + Short name (which I do not get in the contextual menu).

Also, some updating is maybe necessary for the doc, since the actual format
number is indicated as 21 instead of 35. SO, I do not know if some other
elements have changed between the version of docs and the version of Lyx.
