Re: ams starred environments

[Russ Woodroofe]

        Dear Jürgen, all,






        To summarize:
== No changes to amsart.layout
== In amsbook.layout, apply patch below (against stock 1.6.2 file)
* fixes comment error (chapter vs section)




        Sincerely,

                                                --Russ

I'm pretty sure that the comment "Chapter is _not_ prepended" should be "Section is _not_ prepended". That makes a lot more sense, as Section isn't prepended, and especially as it comes just before the definition of the Section environment. There was also another small formatting error -- Section numbers are rendered as 1.1 in amsbook (or A.1 in the appendix). I do use AMS article, and one of my papers looked fine in it. I've never used AMS book -- while it's closely related, there may be someone who knows it better. * prepends chapter number to section number in LyX display, more closely matching the latex output I've also attached a LyX file that tries to put AMS book through its paces (with starred and unstarred chapters and an appendix). I found it not quite trivial to figure out everything that needed to be tested, and anyway, it's small.

Attached is a "diff -u" patch fixing a small display bug in the AMS The AMS book layout file seems to have a similar problem, which I

the changes should come after "Input stdstarsections.inc").

This is just a cosmetic change that cannot harm, I think (although I think

The attached patch has some minor modifications to amsbook:

* load stdstarsections.inc before the star section redefinitions

adapted both definitions

And one question. Is this definition (in amsbook) really correct?

# Chapter is _not_ prepended
Style Section
        LabelString          "\arabic{section}"
        LabelStringAppendix  "\arabic{section}"
End

At least here, chapter actually _is_ prepended in the output.

Russ, could you check this please, I do not use AMS myself.
