I use the memoir class for both books and article and I modified the memoir
layout accordingly to create a "memoir-article" layout. I would like LyX to
format chapter headings *on screen* (pdf output is fine) the same way it
formats all other section headings, that is:
"counter" space "chapter title"
instead of the standard formatting for the book class(es):
Chapter "counter"
"chapter title"
In short, I want to:
1. Remove the prefix "Chapter"
2. Remove the newline after the chapter counter.
My problem is that I cannot find a way to achieve 2.
The code for the chapter style in stdsections.inc is:
Style Chapter
Margin Static
Category Section
LabelString "Chapter \thechapter"
LabelStringAppendix "Appendix \thechapter"
LabelType Counter
LabelCounter chapter
TocLevel 0
LatexType Command
LatexName chapter
NeedProtect 1
NextNoIndent 1
ParSkip 0.4
TopSep 4
BottomSep 0.8
ParSep 0.8
Align Block
OptionalArgs 1
Font
Series Bold
Size Huge
EndFont
HTMLTag h1
End
Since reading the customization manual was of no help, I tried copying it
into the local layout field and removing/changing options one by one while
checking their effects. It is obvious that I can remove the "Chapter"
prefix by removing it from the LabelString field, but that still leaves
the newline in place and I get:
Chapter "counter"
"chapter title"
If I comment out the LabelString field altogether, I get back the standard
behavior (prefix/counter/newline/title), interestingly enough. The same
thing happens if, instead of modifying the chapter style, I start from the
section style in stdsections.inc and change the relevant parameters in
LabelCounter and LatexName from "section" to "chapter"
In short, I'm stumped. Perhaps the behavior of the chapter style is
hard-coded somewhere? If not, could someone enlighten me?
Cheers,
Stefano
