Hi All

This all seems to be working now thanks to your help. :-) 


Andrew: The only thing not quite resolved is a new issue, that binary 
file. I can't seem to open or import it. So I can't even change the 
compression setting.

Yes, I see I've sinned again. I created the document in 2.1 beta. I 
imagine you're using 2.0.something. So this time I've saved the document 
in 2.0 format and not bothered to compress it (it only comes to 14 kb). 
Now it should open in LyX 2.0. (But you seem to have got there anyway.)

Hi Andrew

Thanks for that, I have a bit of your solution working...

Firstly your attached file is Binary, and I don't know what to do with it, 
it may lead to the info I need. If it is a link to the minitoc user manual I 
have it.

Next I tried to edit the latex “source”, as described. Because that doesn’t 
seem to be possible in Lyx I used TexWorks,  as found in the MiTeX2.9 
directory. 
However this meant exporting from Lyx to latex plain format. After doing the 
edits and re-importing back into Lyx I found that firstly the links to 
graphics were broken. The loss of graphics is not  a major problem because 
there are only 9 graphics in the whole document.
More of a problem (I think) is that I cannot view what I have done so far, 
(I have not used any option settings just put code in as suggested.) because 
lots of errors come up.
For the graphics there are…
LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in 
C:/stringC:/Users/Mark/Download
For the command lines you said to insert there are…
Undefined control sequence.

Nevertheless I have continued to work in TeXworks to see how far I can get. 
With the Tables of Contents and have got quite far…
 The new mini TOC’s seem to be behaving ok, and respond to depth changes,  
but the initial Table of Contents still lists everything. I have tried a 
number of things including…
\setcounter{minitocdepth}{1}
\dominitoc
\tableofcontents

Or …

\mtcsetdepth{minitoc}{1}
\dominitoc
\tableofcontents

But whatever figure I put in, the initial TOC depth remains unchanged, 
listing everything.
I am probably missing something obvious, or it will be when pointed out :-)

My apologies, I should have mentioned. I saved the file in compressed

An update...

I have now inserted the commands into a Lyx document using the Lyx
environment.
However I am still getting the problem of being unable to control the depth
of the initial Table of contents.



This is controlled in LyX by going to Document  Settings  Numbering  
TOC and adjusting the slider.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for that, I have a bit of your solution working...

Firstly your attached file is Binary, and I don't know what to do with it, 
it may lead to the info I need. If it is a link to the minitoc user manual I 
have it.

Next I tried to edit the latex “source”, as described. Because that doesn’t 
seem to be possible in Lyx I used TexWorks,  as found in the MiTeX2.9 
directory. 
However this meant exporting from Lyx to latex plain format. After doing the 
edits and re-importing back into Lyx I found that firstly the links to 
graphics were broken. The loss of graphics is not  a major problem because 
there are only 9 graphics in the whole document.
More of a problem (I think) is that I cannot view what I have done so far, 
(I have not used any option settings just put code in as suggested.) because 
lots of errors come up.
For the graphics there are…
LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in 
C:/string"C:/Users/Mark/Download
For the command lines you said to insert there are…
Undefined control sequence.

Nevertheless I have continued to work in TeXworks to see how far I can get. 
With the Tables of Contents and have got quite far…
 The new mini TOC’s seem to be behaving ok, and respond to depth changes,  
but the initial Table of Contents still lists everything. I have tried a 
number of things including…
\setcounter{minitocdepth}{1}
\dominitoc
\tableofcontents

Or …

\mtcsetdepth{minitoc}{1}
\dominitoc
\tableofcontents

But whatever figure I put in, the initial TOC depth remains unchanged, 
listing everything.
I am probably missing something obvious, or it will be when pointed out :-)

Best Regards
Mark :-)

Have you managed to produce a pdf version of your document? If you have
then you most likely already have MiKTeX installed on your system. Go to
the Start button,  click on All Programs and scan down the list to
MiKTeX, click on that, then on Maintenance, then on Package Manager.
Scan down the list of packages until you come to minitoc. If it is
already installed there will be a date in the "Installed on" column. If
not, select minitoc and click the + button, upper left of the package
manager window. Assuming you are currently connected to the internet,
the minitoc package will be downloaded and installed for you.

I omitted one item in the recipe for using minitoc in my previous
posting. The sequence is this:

1. Add \usepackage{minitoc} to your document preamble

2. Insert \dominitoc in ERT (or TeX code) *before* your document's table
of contents

3. After each chapter heading insert \minitoc in ERT

That's it. All the rest is tinkering or catering for special
circumstances. The minitoc documentation is large, but only the first
two chapters are relevant to the user.

Andrew



Further to the above, I've attached a summary about using minitoc with
LyX -- changing various settings. I was going to put it on the wiki, but
it's not clear to me exactly where to put it.

Firstly your attached file is Binary, and I don't know what to do with it,
it may lead to the info I need. If it is a link to the minitoc user manual I
have it.

My apologies, I should have mentioned. I saved the file in compressed 
format so as not to burden the list with unnecessary bytes. If you open 
the file in LyX and look on the menu bar under Document, you will see 
Compressed there, with a tick beside it. Click on it to clear the 
compression. Next time you save the document it will be saved in 
uncompressed format. (The save icon may be greyed out. You may have to, 
e.g., tap the space bar then erase the space to enable the icon.)

I don't recall installing La(Tex) in a separate process.

Stephano has replied, but he has not used MikTeX and doesn't use windows. 
Combining that with my near complete ignorance he has quite sensibly 
suggested I try to find out about installing packages with MikTeX.

Having so far managed to produce a pretty impressive document (if only by 
weight) in LyX I am quite keen to keep it up and finish it in LyX if I can.

Have you managed to produce a pdf version of your document? If you have 
then you most likely already have MiKTeX installed on your system. Go to 
the Start button,  click on All Programs and scan down the list to 
MiKTeX, click on that, then on Maintenance, then on Package Manager. 
Scan down the list of packages until you come to minitoc. If it is 
already installed there will be a date in the "Installed on" column. If 
not, select minitoc and click the + button, upper left of the package 
manager window. Assuming you are currently connected to the internet, 
the minitoc package will be downloaded and installed for you.


I omitted one item in the recipe for using minitoc in my previous 
posting. The sequence is this:


1. Add \usepackage{minitoc} to your document preamble

2. Insert \dominitoc in ERT (or TeX code) *before* your document's table 
of contents


3. After each chapter heading insert \minitoc in ERT

That's it. All the rest is tinkering or catering for special 
circumstances. The minitoc documentation is large, but only the first 
two chapters are relevant to the user.

Hi Richard Andrew and Günter

Thanks for your replies.

I found the package to do the job called Minitoc.  Unfortunately being an 
ignorant beginner in this field  I don't know how to Install it  and make 
it work from Latex.

It appears to have no windows type executable or install files in the set I 
have downloaded. Though I guess some of them may be some sort of macro 
runable in Latex based software.

The installation instructions suggest were some files should go, but I 
haven't found were all of them should go yet. Even if they were all located 
it gives no indication as to what to do next. 
 
Is there somewhere on the LyX site which gives some general guide to the 
principles of installing such packages to use from Lyx?  Or am I thinking 
nonsense that won't happen for reasons I don't understand? Is the long 
learning curve of Latex the only way forwards for me?

Best Regards

Mark :-)

Mark,

installation of a Latex package is usually done, nowadays, by invoking the
TeX package manager used by your TeX distribution. But there are several of
those, and we can't help you further unless you tell us more about your
system. Which platform are you on? Linux, Mac, Windows? How did you install
(La)TeX? Detailed instructions on how to install the minitoc package
depends on the answers to those questions.


Cheers,

Stefano

This is a LaTeX issue, first and foremost. It's easy to get only the 
chapters in the TOC initially. (See Document Settings Numbering and 
TOC). It's getting the TOCs for each chapter that is the issue. But I 
believe there are LaTeX packages that will do this. Go to CTAN.org and 
search for them, or try googling. If you can find it, then, at a bare 
minimum, you could do this with ERT, and you can also file an 
enhancement request for native support for the package.

It would make navigation a lot easier for large documents if we had the
the ability to generate a contents of Chapters at the start.

Plus a more detailed contents page at the start of each Chapter.


This is a LaTeX issue, first and foremost. It's easy to get only the
chapters in the TOC initially. (See Document> Settings> Numbering and
TOC). It's getting the TOCs for each chapter that is the issue. But I
believe there are LaTeX packages that will do this. Go to CTAN.org and
search for them, or try googling. If you can find it, then, at a bare
minimum, you could do this with ERT, and you can also file an
enhancement request for native support for the package.

I've used the LaTeX minitoc package successfully with LyX for a large 
book (600 pages). It creates a table of contents for each chapter, 
inserted at the start of the chapter. I restricted the main TOC at the 
start of the book to section level, but each chapter TOC was to 
subsubsection level. Each chapter has \minitoc in ERT after the chapter 
heading, but that's all, so ERT use is minimal. The preamble to the 
master document (each chapter is a child document & has nothing in the 
preamble) has


\usepackage[tight]{minitoc}
\setcounter{minitocdepth}{3}
\setlength{\mtcindent}{24pt}
\renewcommand{\mtcfont}{\small\rm}
\renewcommand{\mtcSfont}{\small\bf}
\renewcommand{\mtcSSSfont}{\footnotesize\it}
\renewcommand{\mtctitle}{}

which shows the kind of tailoring to individual whims that is possible.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I have found a "package" to do the job called Minitoc. Unfortunately 
being an ignorant beginner in this field  I don't know how to "Install 
it " and make it work from Latex.


What OS are you using? There's probably a Package Manager of some sort 
you can use to install the package.


Andrew's instructions on how to use minitoc can be explained in more 
detail once we have the package installed.
