I don't know if it's a good idea to use this document as a starting 
point. It is full of LaTeX code in the preamble which I wouldn't want to 
touch. You might be better off by just starting a new document.


But to solve your first error, remove this:

\renewcommand{\textcolor}[2]{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{blue}}{{\versal{#2}}}{}% Versalien
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{cyan}}{{\versalomat{#2}}}{}%   Weitere
%\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{magenta}\or\equal{#1}{blue}}{}{#2}% fallthrough
}

From the preamble of that file. You find the preamble from the menu 
Document > Settings... > LaTeX preamble


Good luck,

This is true for many document classes (and you can be quite
sure that the font setting is not changed if there is no mention of
the used font in a packages description).

OTOH, the font is an importont part of how a document should look
and hence it is valid for any documentclass to select a different

Especially the classes for journal submissions use this to select a font

Hi Uwe,

Thanks for the response.  My question doesn't really have much to do with LyX, 
but rather about the defaults selected by particular LaTeX distributions.  I 
asked it on the users list mostly because it's where I know the most people and 
there are multiple TeX experts who hang out here.

I think part of the reason for the misunderstanding is that we think about 
document appearance differently (very, very differently as it turns out) and 
I was operating under a serious misunderstanding.  When you say that document 
classes define how a document should look (please correct me if I'm wrong), 
you appear to be referring to styles (family [roman, sans, typewriter], weight 
[bold, medium, light], italics, small caps, etc.), margins, indentation, 
spacing. but not the typeface itself?  I know that the default typeface for 
LaTeX is CM, and from your comments it sounds as though the default typeface is 
determined at the level of LaTeX distribution and not at the level of document 
class.  Is that right?

 What font you are using for sans serif is your decision.


Here's my background.  I mostly come to LyX from a somewhat traditional 
printing background (I worked in a printer's shop part of my time during 
college and later did a turn as the production editor for a journal), though I 
am hardly an expert on anything.  But in that environment, when someone uses 
the word appearance, they are referring to all of the properties you describe 
in addition to the font.  Perhaps most especially the font.


 Note that the default font depends on the settings of your 
 LaTeX-distribution. It is possible that the default fonts are set to Latin 
 modern or CM super instead of Computer modern. So when you want to have a 
 certain font, you should select one in the LyX document settings.

To find out that document classes don't provide a recommendation for the 
default, which has been chosen to match the spacing and design of a particular 
class, is a little shocking.  It's like learning that a composer had no 
preference of instruments and that a concerto for flute could also be played on 
an oboe, or violin without causing people to raise an eyebrow.

Certainly, you are free to change it, but the default typeface is the default 
typeface.  And I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea that such an 
important decision is apparently left up to the packagers of the LaTeX 
distribution.  (With the assumption that Computer Modern will be right in 
nearly all instances.)

In most publishing houses, that decision is made at the level of design 
template (which would be roughly analogous to document class).  If you told a 
publication designer that there is a default typeface that is right for all 
documents, I think most would look at you like you were crazy.  (That would be 
the response of most I've known, at least.)

 KOMA-script doesn't hardcode things. When you create a KOMA-script document 
 and set in LyX the fonts to default you get usually computer modern for the 
 fonts.

This I was aware of, but I still assumed that all document classes provided a 
recommendation of font, in addition to paper size, margins, spacing and all the 
rest.  After all, they all build on themselves.  A document that has been 
carefully designed to use CM or LM won't necessarily look good when typeset 
with Palatino.  Changing a font is a big modification to the document's design, 
and usually requires that you adjust several others so that things look right.

Because of my previous experience, I just assumed that LaTeX functioned 
according to similar principles.  I knew that CM was the default for LaTeX in 
general, but I had thought that class/package authors also made individual 
design choices based upon the goals of their class.

Are you aware of anyplace where the design conventions are more explicitly 
described?  I checked the LaTeX2e for class and package writers in addition 
to The LaTeX companion, but I haven't been able to find someplace where it is

Sorry for spamming the list, but I am scrambling to compile a table on the 
default formatting for the common LaTeX document classes and I can't seem to 
find a piece of information.  I am hoping that someone on the list may know.

What is the default font used for the KOMA-Script classes?  I need the actual 
name.  When described in the KOMA-Script manual, they are simply referred to as 
serif and sans-serif.  It appears that they are computer modern, but short 
of hacking the PDF to locate the embedded font names, I can't seem to confirm 
it.

Does anyone know definitively or know of reference that says?

Thanks,

Rob

Document classes don't have their own fonts. You can choose a font you want for 
every document class.

Yes, but in the font you selected. You can select the font for sans serif in the LyX document 
settings. The default font is ComputerModern as described in the LyX UserGuide.

Re: Default Fonts in KOMA-Script

Hi Uwe,

Thank you for getting back to me.  I'm sorry if if my inquiry sounds stupid. (I 
will concede that it is mildly dense.)   Even so, I'm trying to track down 
which fonts the different packages use without making any modifications.  I 
know that it is very easy to change the font to an alternative either using a 
package, or if you use xetex, through fontspec.

But, not all of the classes use Computer Modern as the default typeface. (Yes, 
the majority do).  The Tufte classes, for example, make use of 
Palotino/Helvetica/Bera Mono.

For nearly all of the other classes I'm compiling a summary for: standard 
classes, AMS-LaTeX, Memoir, Beamer, Tufte, etc. I have been able to find an 
explicit reference that says, The default typeface is computer modern.

I have not been able to find this reference for KOMA, and it makes me uneasy to 
say it without an host of references to back it up.  Google has been 
essentially worthless for tracking the information down.  This is what prompted 
by original question to the group.

 The default font is ComputerModern as described in the LyX UserGuide.

I appreciate this pointer.  I finally got frustrated and compiled a sample 
document and then hacked it open.  The embedded fonts were cms (computer modern 
sans) and cmr (computer modern roman), just like the standard documents.  This 
evidence, taken with what you've offered, make me comfortable that computer 
modern is indeed the default.

Is there anyone who's had a contrary experience?

Cheers,

Rob

LyX Koma Script LOF numbering width

Hi

I am using Lyx to write my thesis, using Koma Script - report class.

I have just now noticed that the list of figures numbering is not wide
enough (see attached screenshot) when the numbering reaches e.g. 2.2.10. Can
someone give me advice on fixing this?

You can use the InsertShort Title command in your figure captions. The
short title is what appears in the LOF. You could thus exclude the source
from the LOF, saving space.

Indentation of Itemize environments in KOMA-Script

[Tennessee Carmel-Veilleux]

Hello everyone,

I am using the KOMA-Script article class to write a short manual. I have
noticed that the bullet lists (itemize environment) are not indented from
the text body, but that enumerate environments are (see attached screenshots
from the PDF output). I read the KOMA-Script manual and I see no option that
would allow me to set this first-level indentation. Furthermore, on page 98
of the KOMA-Script manual (section 3.6.4: Lists), there is a basic itemize
environment example, where we can clearly see indentation of the first
bullet level from the main text body.

Is there something from another package that could cause this ? I am only
using basic LyX functionality, with Babel (english and frenchb loaded,
english is used).

Thanks in advance for any hints or ideas. I have several bullet lists and
the lack of indentation really looks odd.

formatting cross references in KOMA-Script and a custom float

[Justin Wood]

All,
I've asked a few newbie questions about formatting cross references,
explicitly (thread
herehttp://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/65678)
and within a thread
(herehttp://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/65312)
where Jürgen Spitzmüller helped me define a custom boxfloat inset. After
many (many) hours, I've finally managed to figure out how to do it all,
so... I thought it might be of some small use to report back. A big part of
the problem was me not thinking to say up front that I was using the thesis
template example posted to this list previously, which employs *KOMA-Script
(book)* document class. Another issue which finally let me solve it all was
realising that specifying a different English dialect was breaking the
intended functionality.

My goal was: 1. to get the custom boxfloat cross reference working as for
floats, tables, etc, with the text 'Box' prepended; and 2. change default
behaviour so that section, subsection, subsubsection are all referred to as
'section'.

*Solution*:


   - by default references in this are simply the numbers, and you have to
   do something to them to get the naming we want. Jürgen quite rightly

  works!

formatting cross references in KOMA-Script and a custom float

[Justin Wood]

All,
I've asked a few newbie questions about formatting cross references,
explicitly (thread
herehttp://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/65678)
and within a thread
(herehttp://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/65312)
where Jürgen Spitzmüller helped me define a custom boxfloat inset. After
many (many) hours, I've finally managed to figure out how to do it all,
so... I thought it might be of some small use to report back. A big part of
the problem was me not thinking to say up front that I was using the thesis
template example posted to this list previously, which employs *KOMA-Script
(book)* document class. Another issue which finally let me solve it all was
realising that specifying a different English dialect was breaking the
intended functionality.

My goal was: 1. to get the custom boxfloat cross reference working as for
floats, tables, etc, with the text 'Box' prepended; and 2. change default
behaviour so that section, subsection, subsubsection are all referred to as
'section'.

*Solution*:


   - by default references in this are simply the numbers, and you have to
   do something to them to get the naming we want. Jürgen quite rightly
   suggested the use of

\newrefformat{box}{Box~\negthinspace\ref{#1}}


   - but note that this only works with *Formatted reference* type, as the
  command is specific to \prettyref



   - now the thesis template preamble included these lines to redefine the

Short Titles in book (Koma-script)

[Doris Spori]

Hi

I wrote my thesis in Lyx. Some of my chapter titles are quite long,
so I'd like to use short titles to appear in the page headers. 
If I add the optional short title to a chapter and then only compile the
chapter, it works fine. Also the latex code looks how it should: 
\chapter[Roughness]{Beyond the Lotus Effect: Roughness Influences on Wetting
over a Wide Surface-Energy Range\label{cha:6_BeyondLotusEffect}}

However, when I want to compile the book as a pdf, the following error message
appears:
Use of \...@chapter doesn't match its definition.
Use of \...@chapter doesn't match its definition.
Missing \endcsname inserted.
Extra \endcsname.
Use of \...@chapter doesn't match its definition.

The error message Use of \...@chapter doesn't match its definition. is 
described
as:
 ...nergy Range\label{cha:6_BeyondLotusEffect}}
  
If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always
put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are
made up of letters only. The macro here has not been
followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.

So, I assume it thinks the label is the problem. However, I can remove the short
title again and the book is well compiled, also with the label. 

Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem? I'm grateful for any help on
this.

I'm working on Windows Seven with Lyx version 1.6.7. The document class is book
(KOMA-Script). The language of the user interface in German (which I would
prefer to be in English, but I couldn't figure out how to change it. Doesn't
work under Tools/Settings (Werkzeue/Einstellungen)).

With best regards,
Doris

I think those hints need to be revised. They list this:

\let\oldfoot\footnote

What they forget is this, which is often very necessary because every 
environment has its own end environment:

\let\endoldfoot\endfootnote

Without that, an environment whose end part actually does something will 
either do the wrong thing or fail. It's rare, but I've seen it happen.

Also, the hint above works well if you want the new functionality to come 
before the original, after the original, or both. Where if fails is if you 
want to insert something in the middle of the original.

On solution would be to re-define the \chapter command (\renewcommand)
in LaTeX which hints at what I am going to say next, which is this is
more of a LaTeX issue than a LyX issue - specifically more to do with
how komascript defines the command. There may be an ERT solution
(certainly \clearpage after the chapter will start the text on the
next page), but I haven't worked one out - nor do I have the time
right now.

On solution would be to re-define the \chapter command (\renewcommand)
in LaTeX which hints at what I am going to say next, which is this is
more of a LaTeX issue than a LyX issue - specifically more to do with
how komascript defines the command. There may be an ERT solution
(certainly \clearpage after the chapter will start the text on the
next page), but I haven't worked one out - nor do I have the time
right now.

Installing koma-script

[Eliseu Filho]

Greetings

I've just installed lyx 1.6.5 on a Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (64-bit), 
using 
the alternative installer. The installation itself completed without problems 
and I
have lyx running.

Now I am trying to install the koma-script package, using MiKTeX's package 
manager. After I selecting the package and launching the installation, it 
downloads 
the package but config fails with the message 

Windows API Error 5: Access is denied

I have already changed the permissions of the entire MiKTex directory to Full
Control (in Windows terms) but the problem persists.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You don't need to do that. You only need to:

- log in to your PC as administrator
- open an Internet connection
- reconfigure LyX using the menu Tools-Reconfigure

MiKTeX will then automatically install all package supported by LyX. To 
check if everything went fine, open LyX's Tutorial and view it as PDF 
(pdflatex). If a PDF is created, your installation is complete.



After I selecting the package and launching the installation, it downloads
the package but config fails with the message

Windows API Error 5: Access is denied


This usually appears when you don't have administrator privileges but 
sometimes also appears when the MiKTeX servers have problems.

Re: Koma-script question

[stefano franchi]

For future reference (and thanks to Peter Flynn of the Latex user group),
using absolute instead of relative font sizes plus the selectfont command
solves the problem:

\addtokomafont{caption}{fontsize{8}{10}\selectfont}

It smacks a bit of finger painting, but works well.

Koma-script caption question

[Richard Brown]

I have I'm using Koma script book, and I need to adjust the captions  for my
floats.

I'd like to have them without the prefix 'Figu. 1:' etc, just my caption and
no other text. So I put

 \captionsetup[figure]{labelformat=empty}


in the preamble, following advice found on this list. The Fig. 1 disappeared
fine- but not the colon! So I now have a very ugly and irrelevant : before
my caption text. How can I eliminate this?


TIA


Richard

Re: Koma-script caption question

[stefano franchi]

Richard,
take a look at  the following excerpt (from the Komascript Manual, p. 114):


In KOMA-Script there are different ways to change the formatting of the
caption text. The definition of different font styles was already explained
above. This or the caption delimiter between the label and the label text
itself is specified in the macro \captionformat. In contrast to all other
\...format commands, in this case it does not contain the counter but
only the items which follow it. The original definition is:
\newcommand*{\captionformat}{:\ }
This too can be changed with \renewcommand.
Example: For some inexplicable reasons you want a dash with spaces
before and after instead of a colon followed by a space as label
delimiter. You define:
\renewcommand*{\captionformat}{~--~}
This definition should be put in the preamble of your document.

This seems to indicate
\renewcommand*{captionformat}{}

should do the trick (I haven't tested it though).

S.
