Some LyX layout questions
I'm working on a self published book project in LyX. The book is a
compilation of my articles that were previously published on the web.
The book is just about finished, and I've figured out most of the stuff
that I needed to customise, but there are a few fine tuning issues that
I need to sort out. I am using the Komascript book class. I'd be very
grateful for any suggestions that anyone can offer.
I'll include all of the queries in this single post
Chapter header
I'm having difficulties suppressing the headers at the beginning of the
book. The first Chapter is a starred chapter (Introduction) and as a
result, the contents header leaks into it. This means that header for
pages in my introduction says contents. I have tried using
\thispagestyle{empty} in various places but it doesn't seem to surpress
the contents header. Is there a way to assert a starred chapter
heading as the current chapter in the headings? I have used some ERT to
add the introduction to the contents. Another possibility would be to
find a way to suppress the chapter header in the contents. I don't mind
if headings are switched off until the first numbered chapter.
Text on part pages
Is there a way of putting text on part pages? I've seen some references
to doing this but I've not been able to find a solution that can be
applied to LyX. Adding an imported image would be even better.
Margin titles
Is it possible to have margin titles that hang slightly into the outside
margins of the page?
Chapters at top of page
Is it possible to move the chapter titles to to the top of the page? As
it stands, the chapter title starts about two inches from the top of the
page. I suspect that a solution involves the sectsty package but I can't
work out how to do it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Exactly what you will want, I don't know. But try in ERT, on the first
line of the introduction:
\markboth{Introduction}{Introduction}.
Note that you'll have to put font changes into that, too, if you want
them to show up in the output.
By the way, you can let LyX do the font stuff for you. (This trick
should be better known.) Do this:
[ERT: \markboth{]Now Type In LyX[ERT: }{]More Stuff in LyX[ERT: }]
And you can style Now Type In LyX any way you want, using bold,
italic, whatever.
Text on part pages
Is there a way of putting text on part pages? I've seen some
references to doing this but I've not been able to find a solution
that can be applied to LyX. Adding an imported image would be even

Look at the titlesec package. You can do almost anything with it.
Margin titles
Is it possible to have margin titles that hang slightly into the
outside margins of the page?
Yes. You can use fancy headers for this, and you can customize them
endlessly. See section 12 of fancyhdr.dvi.
Chapters at top of page
Is it possible to move the chapter titles to to the top of the page?
As it stands, the chapter title starts about two inches from the top
of the page. I suspect that a solution involves the sectsty package
but I can't work out how to do it.
Yes, this can be done. Probably titlesec would do it, but I'm not sure.
You may have to dig into your LaTeX class and redefine whatever is being
used to create the heading. In book.cls, it is here:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\parindent \z@ \raggedright \normalfont
\ifnum [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\huge\bfseries [EMAIL PROTECTED] \thechapter
\par\nobreak
\vskip 20\p@
\fi
\fi
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\Huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
\vskip 40\p@
}}
If you were using book.cls, you could just copy this into your preamble
and remove the first \vspace line, or change it. (You would need to put
this between \makeatletter and \makeatother commands, as well.)

Layout questions
Hello! I am writing my physics report using LyX. I write the text in word and then I import it into LyX. I like LyX since it is so strict and fixes much problem thanks of that, but it also creates some problem, if you don't know how to do it correctly of course. Since I'm writing a report, the top level branches in the document are chapters. But it shows like Chapter 1, then a new line, the Introduction (say my first chapter is intro). Instead I want it to be 1 Introduction. And a section, 1.1 The first section, etc. How do I fix that? My next question is about the page numbers. At the title page and at the abstract page there is no page numbers. On the content page on the other hand there is, and it is 2. 2? Why? Then the first chapter comes and it has page number 1 as it should. ^^ Why is there a 2 as page number at the content page where there should really be no page number and how do I change/fix it? The first page number should be where chapter 1 starts. My third question is about formatting the text. On the title page, I write the title, the author (which is my name), then I also want to write the name of my university, its location and finally the date of today. All this is going to be on separate rows. I can only find title, author, and date in the scroll down bar, but not the rest. How do I enter those two? As standard text? In that case I also haven't found any way to center the text. I would also like to be able to format the text more. Running text for example, is it even possible to center it? Or to make it bigger or with another font? Can I make custom text styles? How do I choose if the paragraphs are going to be justified or not, or whether a new paragraph is going to be marked by indenting the first line or making an empty line before it? Then I also have a question about the chapter linking in the generated pdf file. Is it possible to make the chapters in the table of content link to the places in the document where the chapters are located? This is not as important though, just a cool feature!

I am afraid you'll need to pass through ERT, that is TeX code. You
might find this example [1] useful.

You have some options: -- Pressing Ctrl-Enter you can write more lines without exits the layout: E.g: Author then Ctrl-Enter University namethen Ctrl-Enter Location -- You can try other layouts, e.g. Editors ; this is available if you choose the report (koma.script) document class.

You might need to do a \renewenvironment{} on the \chapter environment, within
your layout file. Search your book.cls file (mine's
in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/) for chapter, and you'll see definitions
of \chapter, [EMAIL PROTECTED], and \makechapterhead etc. You need to redefine
it not
to print Chapter, which I believe is the command \thechapter, and get rid
of the vertical space skipped.
Remember, you do not change the code
in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/book.cls, you do it with \renewenvironment
and \renewcommand commands within your layout file.
Obviously, if you're not using the book document class, do this for whatever
document class you're using.
And a section, 1.1 The first section, etc. How do I fix
that?
Similar method.
My next question is about the page numbers. At the title page and at the
abstract page there is no page numbers. On the content page on the other
hand there is, and it is 2. 2? Why? Then the first chapter comes and it has
page number 1 as it should. ^^ Why is there a 2 as page number at the
content page where there should really be no page number and how do I
change/fix it? The first page number should be where chapter 1 starts.
See my answer to your next question.
My third question is about formatting the text. On the title page, I write
the title, the author (which is my name), then I also want to write the
name of my university, its location and finally the date of today. All this

paragraphs are going to be justified or not, or whether a new paragraph is
going to be marked by indenting the first line or making an empty line
before it?
It's my fevent belief that the frontmatter of any book should be cobbled
together with custom environments and ERT, because the frontmatter is not
meant to be uniform throughout, it is not meant to be uniform across books,
and it IS meant to be fine tuned to be just how you want it. Trying to
wrangle a document class to do what you want in the frontmatter is extremely
difficult.
If you simply build your frontmatter with ERT and custom environments, getting
it exactly like you want will be easy. Doing this also gives you complete
control over page numbering within the frontmatter.
Then I also have a question about the chapter linking in the generated pdf
file. Is it possible to make the chapters in the table of content link to
the places in the document where the chapters are located? This is not as
important though, just a cool feature! B-)
I think that automatically happens if you do this:

Layout questions
Hello! I am writing my physics report using LyX. I write the text in word and then I import it into LyX. I like LyX since it is so strict and fixes much problem thanks of that, but it also creates some problem, if you don't know how to do it correctly of course. Since I'm writing a report, the top level branches in the document are chapters. But it shows like Chapter 1, then a new line, the Introduction (say my first chapter is intro). Instead I want it to be 1 Introduction. And a section, 1.1 The first section, etc. How do I fix that? My next question is about the page numbers. At the title page and at the abstract page there is no page numbers. On the content page on the other hand there is, and it is 2. 2? Why? Then the first chapter comes and it has page number 1 as it should. ^^ Why is there a 2 as page number at the content page where there should really be no page number and how do I change/fix it? The first page number should be where chapter 1 starts. My third question is about formatting the text. On the title page, I write the title, the author (which is my name), then I also want to write the name of my university, its location and finally the date of today. All this is going to be on separate rows. I can only find title, author, and date in the scroll down bar, but not the rest. How do I enter those two? As standard text? In that case I also haven't found any way to center the text. I would also like to be able to format the text more. Running text for example, is it even possible to center it? Or to make it bigger or with another font? Can I make custom text styles? How do I choose if the paragraphs are going to be justified or not, or whether a new paragraph is going to be marked by indenting the first line or making an empty line before it? Then I also have a question about the chapter linking in the generated pdf file. Is it possible to make the chapters in the table of content link to the places in the document where the chapters are located? This is not as important though, just a cool feature!

Try to use Chapter* (note the asterisk) from the combobox.

I am afraid you'll need to pass through ERT, that is TeX code. You
might find this example [1] useful.

You have some options: -- Pressing Ctrl-Enter you can write more lines without exits the layout: E.g: Author then Ctrl-Enter University namethen Ctrl-Enter Location -- You can try other layouts, e.g. Editors ; this is available if you choose the report (koma.script) document class.

All that is possible. I suggest you have a look at help docs and/or explore the toolbar buttons. All is explained there. Ignacio PD Perhaps it would be easier writing directly on LyX...

Introduction.
You might need to do a \renewenvironment{} on the \chapter environment, within
your layout file. Search your book.cls file (mine's
in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/) for chapter, and you'll see definitions
of \chapter, [EMAIL PROTECTED], and \makechapterhead etc. You need to redefine
it not
to print Chapter, which I believe is the command \thechapter, and get rid
of the vertical space skipped.
Remember, you do not change the code
in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/book.cls, you do it with \renewenvironment
and \renewcommand commands within your layout file.
Obviously, if you're not using the book document class, do this for whatever
document class you're using.
And a section, 1.1 The first section, etc. How do I fix
that?
Similar method.
My next question is about the page numbers. At the title page and at the
abstract page there is no page numbers. On the content page on the other
hand there is, and it is 2. 2? Why? Then the first chapter comes and it has
page number 1 as it should. ^^ Why is there a 2 as page number at the
content page where there should really be no page number and how do I
change/fix it? The first page number should be where chapter 1 starts.
See my answer to your next question.
My third question is about formatting the text. On the title page, I write
the title, the author (which is my name), then I also want to write the
name of my university, its location and finally the date of today. All this

another font? Can I make custom text styles? How do I choose if the
paragraphs are going to be justified or not, or whether a new paragraph is
going to be marked by indenting the first line or making an empty line
before it?
It's my fevent belief that the frontmatter of any book should be cobbled
together with custom environments and ERT, because the frontmatter is not
meant to be uniform throughout, it is not meant to be uniform across books,
and it IS meant to be fine tuned to be just how you want it. Trying to
wrangle a document class to do what you want in the frontmatter is extremely
difficult.
If you simply build your frontmatter with ERT and custom environments, getting
it exactly like you want will be easy. Doing this also gives you complete
control over page numbering within the frontmatter.

All that is possible. I suggest you have a look at help docs and/or explore the toolbar buttons. All is explained there. Ignacio PD Perhaps it would be easier writing directly on LyX...

You might need to do a \renewenvironment{} on the \chapter environment, within
your layout file. Search your book.cls file (mine's
in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/) for chapter, and you'll see definitions
of \chapter, [EMAIL PROTECTED], and \makechapterhead etc. You need to redefine
it not
to print "Chapter", which I believe is the command \thechapter, and get rid
of the vertical space skipped.
Remember, you do not change the code
in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/book.cls, you do it with \renewenvironment
and \renewcommand commands within your layout file.
Obviously, if you're not using the book document class, do this for whatever
document class you're using.

It's my fevent belief that the frontmatter of any book should be cobbled
together with custom environments and ERT, because the frontmatter is not
meant to be uniform throughout, it is not meant to be uniform across books,
and it IS meant to be fine tuned to be just how you want it. Trying to
wrangle a document class to do what you want in the frontmatter is extremely
difficult.
If you simply build your frontmatter with ERT and custom environments, getting
it exactly like you want will be easy. Doing this also gives you complete
control over page numbering within the frontmatter.

I think that automatically happens if you do this:
lyx -e pdf lyxfilename.lyx

Try adding in the LaTeX preamble of your document:
\usepackage[bookmarks]{hyperref}

That works, but you get red and green boxes around the things that are
linked... is it possible to turn those off and have the hyperrefs in
"stealth" mode?

I don't know what stealth mode is.
But you may use this in your preamble to get a PDF with black links and
no borders:

Basic layout questions
Hello list, Here I am, back with my layout beginner questions. Is there a way I can have my appendixes to actually show that they are appendixes besides being numbererd by letters instead of actual numbers? Such as by displaying Appendixes before they start, that is at the end in my document and in the TOC. Thanks, Jé

Packages like titlesec and tocloft should handle this. Jerome Tuncer wrote: Hello list, Here I am, back with my layout beginner questions.

Layout questions
I have some questions on how to create a layout: what I want is a Title page with a Title, author, no date and some other data, I also want to be able to use chapters but without a label saying for example chapter 1. I hope someone knows how to do this. -- Maarten C. Kruithof Faculty of Aplied Physics Delft University of Technology The Netherlands --
