Is my Preamble interfering with compiling my LyX document?

2011-05-27 Thread Daisuke Koya 
Hello,

I am using LyX 1.6.10 on Mac OS 10.6.7.

It took me a year until someone on this forum pointed out that stuff 
accumulated in my preamble was causing subfloats to not work properly. I know 
nothing about LaTeX, and the following code in the preamble was cobbled 
together by random snippets of code I either found on the Internet or shown by 
colleagues.

If it's no trouble for the LaTeX and LyX experts on this forum, could someone 
please tell me which bits of the code below might cause errors in creating 
documents in LyX?

I also recently found out that some of the functionality in the preamble could 
be specified in LyX: Document Settings. Is it better to use the Document 
Settings to specify certain aspects of the LyX document rather than doing this 
in the preamble?

Many thanks for the future help,

Daisuke Koya

Any of them could interfere. I'd suggest you at least document for
yourself what each of these does (LaTeX comments begin with %), and
only include what you know you need for a given document.

 I also recently found out that some of the functionality in the preamble 
 could be specified in LyX: Document Settings. Is it better to use the 
 Document Settings to specify certain aspects of the LyX document rather than 
 doing this in the preamble?

Generally, yes, because LyX will try to handle conflicts for you, and
you do not have to worry about which packages are being loaded in which
order, etc. Now

 \usepackage{calc}
 \usepackage{amsfonts}
 \@ifundefined{definecolor}{\usepackage{color}}{}

I doubt you need to load these.

Hello Richard,

Thank you very much for your detailed help. I will remove the bits of code that 
might give conflicts.

The code in the LaTeX preamble did have comments, but I've removed them in my 
post because some of them contained names of colleagues.

Regarding the fancyhdr package, could you please tell me how this can be 
installed in LyX? I went to what I believe is the web page where this package 
is downloaded, but I couldn't find any installation instructions for LyX.

Again, I appreciate the help,

Dear Daisuke,

This package is installed by Latex, not Lyx. I believe it is on Latex's
basic installation, so you should have it already. Read fancyhdr's manual in
order to know the syntax of the code needed for your document:

http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fancyhdr/fancyhdr.pdf

Any of them could interfere. I'd suggest you at least document for
yourself what each of these does (LaTeX comments begin with "%"), and
only include what you know you need for a given document.

Generally, yes, because LyX will try to handle conflicts for you, and
you do not have to worry about which packages are being loaded in which
order, etc. Now

I doubt you need to load these.

You are better off using the fancyhdr package, I'd think, to do this.

LyX has support for multirow in 2.0.x.

Re: Is my Preamble interfering with compiling my LyX document?

2011-05-27 Thread Daisuke Koya 
Hello Richard,

Thank you very much for your detailed help. I will remove the bits of code that 
might give conflicts.

The code in the LaTeX preamble did have comments, but I've removed them in my 
post because some of them contained names of colleagues.

Regarding the fancyhdr package, could you please tell me how this can be 
installed in LyX? I went to what I believe is the web page where this package 
is downloaded, but I couldn't find any installation instructions for LyX.

Again, I appreciate the help,

Daisuke Koya

Dear Daisuke,

This package is installed by Latex, not Lyx. I believe it is on Latex's
basic installation, so you should have it already. Read fancyhdr's manual in
order to know the syntax of the code needed for your document:

http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fancyhdr/fancyhdr.pdf

Regards.
