But that's not all. Some formatations seem not to go, e. g. the multicolumn package that I uses to insert a full-width two-colomn parbox or minipage with my contact data on the end of an article. But these are not necessary for me. Another transfer problem: In my immediate try, when opening an elder tufte-handout made LyX file, there are stopping errors (the pdf in LyX tmp insufficiently made); but when copying the whole content of one of these files to your new handout-sample.lyx file, it works. This would mean laborious transition work. In case, that you get another idea for that or how to avoid it, let it know, please. If not, then I have to take the time for this work. Tell me, if I shall send you an real file LyX file (of 2, 3 pages), made with the elder handout.cls and .layout … regards, joachim -- MacTeXLive 2008 - TeXShop 2.18-svn - LyX 1.6.4.1 MacBook Pro OSX 10.4.11 Tiger (intel)

Joachim Osnabryg schrieb: Can you please test it out? (To get it work you need to have my tufte-book.layout file is the same folder as the tufte-handout.layout.) Already done. Just to give you a first response: Your new handout layout file works more or less with the original sample-handout.lyx (provided once with Jürgen's old tufte-handout.layout on http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-handout). More or less, because some formatations - as »newthought«, »ALL CAPS«, »FULL CAPITAL LETTERS, and »SmallCaps« {character style (Edit->TextStyle->SmallCaps)} are marked red and partly as "undefined" in the LyX window already and appeare in normal character stile in the produced pdf. This is because the new layout file is incompatible with the old one. One reason is to overcome the problems you noticed with the old version. Another one is to have one basic layout for both tufte document classes. (The handout call is basically the same as the book class with only a few changes.) To make LyX files created with the old layout work, you need to open the LyX file with a text editor and replace - "CharStyle:SmallCaps" with "SmallCaps" - "CharStyle:AllCaps" with AllCaps - "CharStyle:NewThought" with "NewThought" All future versions of the layout file will be compatible with the current layout. Btw. there is of course also an actual example file: http://www.lyx.org/trac/export/31798/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_6_X/lib/examples/tufte-handout.lyx regards Uwe

But: With my self-produced LyX-files on basis of the old tufte-handout.cls and -.layout your new .layout unfortunately does not work yet, but I have to test it further with faked ones, because in the real ones I have some additions in the preamble (and special formatations within the documents) which might be excluded already in the new tufte-handout.cls (and -common.sty) and not because of your new .layout file. The problem is, that I have to exchange everytime the files in LyX1.6/layouts and ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/tufte-latex/ to test it, continuing with my work on my existing LyX files on basis of the old handout cls and layout. But I will try out more. Goutgaun! joachim -- MacTeXLive 2008 - TeXShop 2.18-svn - LyX 1.6.4.1 MacBook Pro OSX 10.4.11 Tiger (intel)
