Re: formatting help needed
Hello Richard,
sorry for my long silence - I didn't resolve the issues completely, but I got
over an important hurdle.
I exported my .lyx-file to a .tex-file. This was the only way, I could get in
the \setlength\parindent{0.7cm} option. It was quite hard for me because
the German umlaut didn't get translated properly. I found out that I had to
change the encoding to utf8 to make it work.
I also added:
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
The next point I need to solve is the header issue:
* page number: font size 12
* left pages: chapter title (right-aligned) in small capitals and font size 10
* right pages: subchapter title (left-aligned) in small capitals and font size
10
header not on first page of chapter
At present I get both chapter and subchapter titles in the header so that they
overwrite each other and are unreadable. The page number is in the footer and
should go up to the header.
A second point is the font size (12 and solved ;-) but the line distance
should be 14 points. How do I get that?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Markus

I think this is where you want to use titlesec.
An alternative might be to switch to use the book (koma-script) class.

Hi Lyx experts, I have been using LYX for over decade now. It has always been a fantastic tool, especially for my PhD thesis. Unfortunately I have arrived at a dead end just before publication. My publisher (Franz Steiner Verlag, Stuttgart, Germany) has very percise ideas about the layout of the text and I am unable to adjust to his wishes with LYX. I could not find a suitable template on the Internet. I don't know how to change parts of the layout beyond the text options. That is why I need help in changing the page layout. I use the template book (more font sizes). Things which need to be adapted are: * font in the header, which has to be small capitals instead of capitals and a different font size * header (left pages): the word chapter is printed in all chapters in German (Kapitel which is correct), but in chapter 9 there is chapter in the header (a bug?) * space of indentation at the beginning of paragraphs * headlines of chapters without the word chapter in the headline and different font size If anybody feels able to help, please contact me and I will send you parts of my text and the exact figures so that the changes can be applied to it. If it does not work out well this way, I will have no other choice than to transfer the whole text to M$-word and reformat it there. I'm not an IT specialist, just a poor historian using LYX on Linux. Please help me to prevent that nightmare! Yours, Markus

Richard,
If you open Layout-Document-Text Layout there are radiobox options to
separate paragraphs by indentation or an extra line. I always use the
indentation option as document defaults, that this seems to be what is
desired.
Does one really need to use the \parindent{} length?
