18.12.2009, 22:09 Uhr, I wrote in this thread: For not to remain alone in the Tufte-style field of LyX, I take the liberty to promote and propagate the tufte-latex doc classes here. Hi, to to make sure, that those, who do not follow the thread "Tufte layout?" do not miss the necessary information to run the tufte-latex classes in LyX, I repeat here from my answer there: Weitergeleitete Usenet-Nachricht Von: "Joachim Osnabryg" Betreff: Re: Tufte layout? Here the patched tufte-common.def! Datum: Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:47:48 +0100 Hello LyXers, as promised, here you get the information, how and where to get the tufte-common.def file, patched by the developer for the use with LyX. Call http://tufte-latex.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tufte-common.def in your browser, save it as such (or .txt file and rename it then to tufte-common.def) and put it on the place of the existing, overwriting it. I. e. into your user _home_ "texmf" directory - on my Mac that is: ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/tufte-latex/ Might be that you have to create some of these sub-directories first. Unfortunately I don't know which one and where it is in MiXTeX… I understood that you have already installed the actuel LyX 1.6.5 (of 2009/12/05), so you need not to download the LyX layout files from the LyX website. Don't forget sudo texhash and LyX=>reconfigure, then you should be ready to go with the tufte-latex classes in LyX! Happy LxXing with tufte-latex! joachim --- Weitergeleitete Nachricht --- Betreff: Re: Urgent: patched tufte-common.def - How for all? Datum: Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:17:29 +0100 Hello, Joachim. The patch is in the latest svn (r139). If folks don't want to use svn, they may download the .def file directly from: http://tufte-latex.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tufte-common.def Just overwrite your existing tufte-common.def file with this one and you should be set. I have a couple more bugs I'd like to fix before I push out another release, but I'm hoping to get that done soon. --Kevin -- -- Mac BacicTeX 2009 - TeXShop 2.29 / TeXworks 0.2.3 LyX 1.6.5 - MacBook Pro intel OSX 10.4.11 Tiger

Currently experimenting myself with tufte-handout on LyX to make new templates when seeing your messages, I did the same myself: switched the same file to Book(tufte) => without problem, with the correct result. Being on MacOSX (unknowing about MikTeX and YAP) , unfortunately I can't judge, wether the problem there might be connected with the OS(-version) or "missing a MiKTeX font". So, the only hint from me in the moment is, to check (again), wether the necessary LaTeX packages, named in the tufte sample file(s), are installed (I suppose, yes). So I hope, that the creator of the actual layout files, Uwe Stöhr, can help with your problem. And: what happens, if you create a (minimal) new book (Tufte) file in LyX? BTW, my tufte-latex is the actual 3.5.0 Best wishes, joachim -- Mac BacicTeX 2009 - TeXShop 2.29 / TeXworks 0.2.3 LyX 1.6.5 - MacBook Pro intel OSX 10.4.11 Tiger
Re: pro culture of margin notes
OOPS, I may have spoken too so on. I can get Handout to work okay but for some reason if I switch the same file to Book(tufte), I lose the title in div with an error about "Not all fonts not be loaded" in YAP· The same file seems to work fine in pdf format. The YAP error message seems to imply that I am missing a MiKTeX font. The Doc > Properties message seems to read that MiXATeX could not open some local application. Any suggestions?

Re: pro culture of margin notes
I have been wanting to try the handout version for some time and after upgrading to 1.6.5 this afternoon,it looks like I'm back in business. Thanks for reminding me to check it again since I had not seen anything new for 1.6.4 this morning. Depending on the topic, etc, tufte layouts look very useful.

pro culture of margin notes
Dear LyX-users, With the help of my last talks here and elsewhere I have my LyX and LaTeX installation (see footer) imbedding tufte-latex now spruced up again on Mac. I breathe a sigh of relief… just before the highdays of the turn of sun and year! Thanks to Uwe Stöhr and all contributers! For not to remain alone in the Tufte-style field of LyX, I take the liberty to promote and propagate the tufte-latex doc classes here. Sorry, if it bothers someone, but it's not commercial and I am just a thankful user of it. Since the first LyX layout file for tufte-latex, more than one year ago, was kindly created by the LyX developers (Jürgen Spitzmüller at that time) on my demand, almost all documents which I worked out, were created in tufte-latex with LyX. It isn't me skirted (escaped), that, on the user-side, I am a rather forlorn (unique) or unrivallet with this. Asking myself whyever, the only plausible answer seems me, that many LyXers who might like the designe and - for their works - could well use the possibilities bidden by tufte-latex - especially the broad right margin and extense use of sidenotes (instead of footnotes) -, do not know it. With this, the tufte style resumes an good old tradition of printed books: the marginals, which when reading are much easyer to access by the eyes than footnotes or endnotes. Indeed, I would like to see the culture of marginals requicken (revive) in today's literary world again… and LaTeX and LyX are the only instruments to realize that. So if this has awoken your interest, have a look at the produced sample-pdfs at: http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Layouts/tufte-handout/sample-handout.pdf http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Layouts/tufte-book/tuftebookforwiki.pdf and/or http://tufte-latex.googlecode.com/files/sample-handout-3.5.0.pdf http://tufte-latex.googlecode.com/files/sample-book-3.5.0.pdf Best regards, joachim -- Mac BacicTeX 2009 - TeXShop 2.29 / TeXworks 0.2.3 LyX 1.6.5 - MacBook Pro intel OSX 10.4.11 Tiger
