Re: double dots in chapter numbering Hungarian

[Horváth Andor]

Thanks! I filed the bug, but then realized there was already a ticket
(https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11573) in the subject.

For the time being, a workaround solution, based on the comments to this
ticket, was to start my local layout like this:

---

Counter chapter
LabelString "\\arabic{chapter}"
End

Style Chapter
LabelString "\thechapter."
TocLevel 0
End

---

This solves chapter, section, subsection numbering alike. Thanks a lot!

I think this just got fixed for the next version (which, unfortunately,
is a little ways away). But maybe I'm wrong about that and it was
another language. I believe the extra dot comes from the translation file.

Can you please file a bug about this at lyx.org/trac/? That way we do
not lose track of it.

double dots in chapter numbering Hungarian

[Horváth Andor]

Hello!

I have been using LyX for the past 6 months now, and I love it - but
there is an annoying detail I would love to change. When set to
Hungarian, the chapter counter includes a dot, while the other counters
don't. So "Chapter 1", which should be "1. fejezet" in Hungarian, looks
like "1.. fejezet", and "Section 1.1" is numbered like "1..1".

I tried adding local layout commands, but I haven't managed to remove
that unnecessary extra dot.

Is there a workaround for this issue? Thank you so much for any
ideas/advices!

Re: how to get rid of dots in nomenclature subgroup headings

[Karl Linek]

Hello,

I'm using sections in my nomenclature. It worked well, but suddenly it
didn't work anymore. Studing the wiki ditn't help. Then I read this
letter. The command '\usepackage{ifthen}' in the preamble fixed all My
problems. Therefore one should add this command in the wiki 'Creating
Nomenclature with Sections'.

Nevertheless thank you for your steady work.

how to get rid of dots in nomenclature subgroup headings

[Michael Berger]

Dear Friends of LyX,
in the nomenclature of my document (KOMAScriptarticle) I use in the preamble

\usepackage{ifthen}

\renewcommand{\nomgroup}[1]{%

\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{C}}{\item[\textbf{Symbols}]}{%

\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{D}}{\item[\textbf{Numbers}]}{%

\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{B}}{\item[\textbf{Abbreviations}]}{%

\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{A}}{\item[\textbf{Definitions}]}{}

}% B matches Abbreviations

}% A matches Definitions

}% C matches Symbols

}% D matches Numbers

and in the LyX document \renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{#1\dotfill}

\renewcommand{\nomname}{Nomenclature of Linguistic Terms}

I not only get dots in each entry as desired but also undesired dots 
after the subgroup headings as per screen shot.

How to remove the dots after the subgroup headings?

Thanks and regards

Victor,

What platform are you on? On LyX 2.1.3 you can find it under the Insert >

For example, on my Linux machine it is Left Alt+. [i.e. the full stop

Personally, I would use a "Thin Space" in this case (Insert >

I think in English the convention would be a normal sized space, i.e., 
not end of sentence. I think a protected space will give you that.

Hi Robert.

What you are looking for is described in the documentation of the
"tocloft" package. You need to load the tocloft package of course:

% put this in the Preamble
\usepackage{tocloft}


To make the dots to disappear you would need to put in your preamble (or
before the "toc" in your document as an ERT I think... !?) something
like "\renewcommand{\cftXdotsep}{\cftnodots}" where X is chap (for
chapter), sec (for section) and more

% for example, to switch off the dots for scetion entries
\renewcommand{\cftsecdotsep}{\cftnodots}

The documentation is very useful. You can get it from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/tocloft.html

Hope this helps.
Cheers, Nikos

Yes, your sample is correct in how I would like it.  But, my TOC is two
pages long, so the counter "skips" the second page of the TOC and labels it
as the first page of the LOT(the next section)  So my TOC is on page v and
vi, and the LOT starts at vii, but is being listed as starting at vi.  I
hope I explained it better..



That makes sense, but I can't reproduce it. I added chapters and
sections such that the TOC was two pages long and the numbering was
still correct. Something else must be going on or conflicting. Maybe,
you could send a minimal example.

I don't know the reason, but you can add the Table of Contents, List
of Figures, List of Figures, and BibTeX bibliography to the Table of

\usepackage{tocbibind}

The tocloft package will do everything that you need. Grab the package
documentation and read through it. It took me quite a while to figure
out how to add dotted leaders to chapters or sections. This was a
requirement for my thesis also.

I've attached a simple example of how to add dotted leaders and change
the name of the table of contents. Consult the tocloft documentation
for the other requirements.

Cheers,
Bob Lounsbury

The tocloft package will do everything that you need. Grab the package
documentation and read through it. It took me quite a while to figure
out how to add dotted leaders to chapters or sections. This was a
requirement for my thesis also.

I've attached a simple example of how to add dotted leaders and change
the name of the table of contents. Consult the tocloft documentation
for the other requirements.

TOC font changes, adding dots between heading and page

Re: Mysterious addition of dots after citation

[Bo Peng]

> This is absolutely not our bug.

I did not say this is lyx' fault. I said that lyx is vulnerable to an
existing mail system caveat, and lyx is likely to be the scapegoat. To
the best interest of lyx, I suggest that lyx do something with it.

You and other developers have all the reasons to say 'this is not our
bug' and ignore this problem. But as a lyx user, I will have to be
careful about the encoding of the lyx attachment and check for doubled
dots for every lyx file I receive. Users who are not aware  of this
problem may give up lyx because of this.

> Send you attachments as application/octet-stream and be done with it.

As far as I can tell, my mutt encodes lyx file with 7 bits by default
and my MS/OE/SMTP does the same. I do hope that I am among the extreme
minority who suffer from this problem.

I will CC this email to lyx-users in case that they are not aware of the risk.

Mysterious addition of dots after citation

[Bo Peng]

Dear list,

I have not been able to track down the source of this problem. Some of
my colleagues use different versions of lyx (such as 1.3.5) on
different platforms (linux/windows). If I send my lyx file
(linux/1.3.6-1) to them and let them modify it, the revised version
will have additional dot (from . to ..) after most (maybe all?)
citations (\cite).

Can anyone confirm this problem? Is this a known bug? If not, I will
contact them and see when the dots are added and submit a bug report.

Thanks.
Bo

Removing leading dots in TOC?

[Stefano Franchi]

Can anyone explain how to remove the leading dots in the Table of 
Contents? The section on formatting TOCs in the LaTeX companion (2.3, 
p.51, 2nd ed.) contains a cryptic reference that went totally over my 
head. It suggests to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a suitably large number in a 
\renewcommand, but I can't see how to do that (no doubts because I 
don't understand TOC formatting in general). LaTeX Faqs and archives 
were no more helpful. I am using Koma Script book class.


Thanks in advance,

Stefano

Angus,

  Well! If you ever want to get wrapped around the axel in the minutia of
typography, read the section on ellipses in that chapter. I downloaded the
pdf version to examine right away.

  It turns out that \textellipsis -- in English -- adds an extra space to
the right of the three dots. That space may, or may not, be appropriate. It
all depends on what follows. So the ellipsis package uses \ldots to figure
out how to fit spaces after the three dots, depending on context.

  I think I'm sorry that I asked! :-)

AFAIR they are equivalent (i.e. \ldots or \dots result in \textellipsis in tex

sorry for the silly question, but perhaps someone knows an easy

How do you call the "i" with two dots, and how can I enter in into

I considered my question to be similar to, but not identical to, the

In retrospect it certainly makes no sense to quote the entire original

If you want to have the dots, you can use the koma-script-option 
"pointednumbers", if you don't, use "pointlessnumbers". You can add these 
options in Layout > Document > More Options (I don't exactly know if it's 
called like this, in the german version it's: Layout > Dokument > Weitere 
Optionen). There is an automatism in koma-script using the dots if there are 
Roman Capitals used (as is done in the appendix) and the dots should not be 
used, if the appendix is not used any longer, but -- as the koma-script-guide 
says -- this automatism does not work every time, and for this reason there 
are the two option described above.

Adding an appendix adds trailing dots to section numbers etc.

[Philipp Sasse]

Hi,

this doesn't seem to be listed in the bugs list, so can someone please 
try to reproduce this behaviour:

As soon as I add an appendix to a koma-script book or ams-book, any 
chapter or section numbering is becoming a trailing dot like

  1.  One
  1.1. One one

This is in the TOC and the actual appearance of the chapter/section, but 
not in the headline nor in the LyX window (just in dvi/ps/pdf output).

This seems to be a LyX bug, because the wrong dots sometimes remain 
after removing the appendix.

To reproduce:
-

1. Open a new LyX document, choose document layout "book (koma-script)"
2. Choose "chapter" and write anything as chapter name
3. Write something else, make it a "chapter" as well and choose this as
   the beginning of the appendix
4. Look at the dvi of this: no trailing dots so far!
5. Change anything (like adding a character of the first chapter's
   name), look at the dvi again: here they are!
6. Remove the "begin appendix" mark, look at the dvi: those dots remain.



It looks like LyX does switch something for the appendix (to produce a 
"A. Appendixname" and forgets to put the switch back for ordinary 
chapters.

Any suggestions to get this fixed?

Thanks alot, Philipp.

Agreed. This can be avoided by using \NoAutoSpaceBeforeFDP. This could
be added to lib/language, but I fear that many people will complain
that their existing documents changed.

Re: double dots for french

It works. This is perfect for long texts without "automatic spacing",
such as lyx-code or URLs. It also works for references (just select the
"bibliography" button and change its character's style.*

Thanks for this solution.

double dots for french

[Nicolas SABOURET]

Hi,

In lyx1.2 (and before), when using either french or french-Gutenberg,
Lyx automatically adds a blank space before double dots ":".

1. IMHO, it is not necessary since most french users are used to typing
this blank space before the double dot, especially when no space appear
in the lyx window. By comparison, automatic spaces before and after the
french quotes » and « are OK since they appear in the window (no
temptation of doing it twice).
A solution (IMHO) would be to show this space on the window (just like
was done for quotes).
I understand it might be very complicated to program this feature...

2. This automatic spacing can make funny things. For instance:
blabla
http ://www.myself.org/

-> Is there a way to tell lyx, temporaryly, NOT to put empty spaces. The
solution I used is to enter math-mode before typing :, but it doesn't
look as a clean solution to me.

3. The process is also applied in the bibliography and, for journals, it
is really annoying for the pages numbering. It makes:
M. Myname. My nice title. The Journal's Name, volume :pages-numbers,
year.
e.g.N. Sabouret. LyX is cool. Computer Science, 24: 3-5, 2002

What can I do ?

Thanks in advance,
Nico.

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Alph{chapter}} 

Is your friend.

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\arabic{chapter}.}

you will need to do this for the sections, subsection etc. also.

Will probably do it.
(put it in the preamble)
