Very old, because I read it on the internet years ago as the way to do
it.
So still use it in the Latex preamble of on some document templates.
Works for me. There may be a better way of course? I just don't know it.

Re: Forced line-break does not work in tables

RE: Hyphenating a hyphenated word at a line break
Sorry for arriving late to this party. Here are a few things I've noticed.
**Type of dash**
In LaTeX, and therefore also in LyX, there are two types of en dash (and
also two types of em dash). In LaTeX the first is entered by -- and the
second is entered with \textendash. In LyX the first is entered with -- and
the second is entered by putting the unicode en dash in (in my reply to Rich
I listed three ways to do this, and Jerry's Mac technique is doing the same
thing). It's not quite clear to me which is the "correct" way to do this. --
is older, and \textendash was introduced so that it can work with more fonts
(or something like that).
But as Jerry has noticed, they also have different line breaking properties.
It sounds like the ability of -- to create a line break was just a side
effect of its implementation rather than intended. Maybe it was suppressed
from \textendash because it's so easy to turn back on when needed (see next
point).
**Changing the breaking behaviour**
Allow \textendash to break: in the position you want to allow a break
(almost certainly after the dash) insert a zero width space. In LaTeX this
is \hspace{0cm}, and in LyX use insert->formatting->horizontal space, then
choose custom and put in zero. This is the same philosophy as Unicode, where
you'd put in a zero-width space to allow a line break.
Stop -- allowing a line break: I'm not sure whether this is a "correct"
solution, but putting it in an \mbox seems to work (as in:
"Heine\mbox{--}Borel theorem"). Unfortunately LyX doesn't support mboxes, so
you'd need to enter it in ERT.
**Which type of line break is correct?**
I know of three ways of using an en dash in English:
1. The original purpose is for numeric ranges in text: "see pp. 40-87".
2. For hyphenating words when they are proper nouns of equal importance: so
in "Heine-Borel theorem" but not in "mean-value theorem".
3. In place of em dashes for parenthetical remarks, with spaces on either
side. This is not traditional but has become fashionable in recent decades.
It seems to me that you do not want breaking for the first usage and you do
for the second (and you'll always get it for the third because of the
spaces), so neither type of dash is better in general. Since \textendash
works with more fonts (so it's said), this seems to me to be the best thing
to output.

It's easy to prove something is possible - just say how to do it - but proving something is impossible is notoriously difficult! I suspect one of these three options will let you do the same thing on Linux as Jerry was doing on the Mac: 1. Maybe there is some way to input unicode characters directly. For example, on Windows you can type Alt+0150 to get an en dash. 2. There is probably some equivalent of the Windows character map on Linux. You could search in that for en dash or em dash and copy and paste the result to LyX. 3. Within LyX there is the insert->special character dialogue. Under the "general punctuation" section you will find several dashes (which could really do with labelling). The fifth one (which says "code point: 2013" when you hover over it) is an en dash, and the one after is an em dash. Jim

I started it with a muddle-headed premise--that the n-dash is appropriately used in places such as crosstalk-cancelled; it is not. A hyphen should be used there. I've known this since grammar school and for some reason a bit in my brain flipped (bit rot's a bitch) a couple months ago and I started doing it wrong. So the best thing would be to ignore this whole thread. However... LyX, apparently like LaTeX and I suppose TeX, denotes the hyphen as an actual hyphen -, the n-dash as two hyphens --, and the m-dash as three hyphens ---. When entered this way in LyX, line breaking, if necessary, happens as expected, after the hyphen or dash. However... Something curious happens on my computer which is a Macintosh. I don't know if it happens on other computers but it would be interesting to know. (Hint.) Specifically, on Macs the n-dash is entered with Option-hyphen and the m-dash with Shift-Option-hyphen; this has been the case since 1984 and my fingers know it well. The LyX documentation says that the - -- --- method should be used. (It does not say _not_ to do the Mac-like thing.) Being contrary (and a newish LyX user) I tried the traditional Mac way, and it works--the desired character is displayed on the LyX window and also is rendered correctly in printed output. So that is the habit I continued for working in LyX. Therein lies my problem. Even though the traditional Mac entry method displays correctly on-screen and in-print, the n- and m-dash so entered DO NOT ALLOW LINE BREAKS. And that's why I wrote. Is this worth a request ticket--to make these alternate entry methods compatible with LyX? Jerry Some remedial reading for me: http://www.dashhyphen.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash

Yes, the n-dash should stand alone, but LaTeX is doing what you are asking: You told it that it was OK to hyphenate there, so it has. What you want is the \linebreak command instead. LyX does not have native support for this, so you have to use ERT. Note that you can use an optional argument with \linebreak, as well, from 0 to 4, which mean: you can break here; you really must break here. So you could try: \linebreak[1] in ERT to start. The advantage of using the optional argument is that, if you move some text around, LaTeX still has a chance of getting the linebreaking right, whereas if you insist the line be broken there, then things could go very ugly.

I use memoir for everything regardless of the pieces' lengths and it's actually easier for me to deal with a consistent set of environments without having to stop and think about whether I am using a book-like or an article-like class. I think of headings as "level 0," "level 1," etcetera, and I am happy to leave the proper formatting to a customized class that I can switch at will. Admittedly, this is not a standard Latex workflow, but it works for me.

How to remove line break in chapter headings layout?
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 MarginStatic 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 TopSep4 BottomSep 0.8 ParSep0.8 Align Block OptionalArgs 1 Font Series Bold SizeHuge 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?

Re: List with line break after the item label

I found this:
http://texblog.net/latex-beginners-guide/examples/chapter-4
The last image that shows how lists work gave me this silly idea of
inserting an horizontal space after the label, and apparently it worked.
I knew to Latex and Lyx, so I don't know if using horizontal spaces this

I wish I could make Lyx display it the same way, but it is good enough for

List with line break after the item label
Hello, I'm made a new list layout based on the lyxlist layout, but I'd like to insert a line break after the item label to move the text to the next line. Something like this: ItemLabel Text goes here after indent. I checked several layouts but couldn't figure out how to do it. Cheers, Fabio.

In LyX, you cannot set a line-break in "normal" or "variable width" cells easily. Instead, you should give the collumn with the "problematic" cell a fixed width (with the table config dialogue or right-click context menu). Then, the cells in this column will exhibit automatic line breaking (and also accept manual line breaks). Günter

In preamble:
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
\usepackage{lscape} If you want to turn the page on PDF too
\usepackage{pdflscape} And on page before your float ERT: \begin{landscape} and
after your float \end{landscape}
Does this help?

My suggestion is to allow "dissolution" of a math inset similar to other insets (note, float, minipages and other boxes, etc.): if you place the cursor at the first position in the inset and press Backspace, the inset is replaced by its content. For a math-inset, the content would be the LaTeX source. Then you could toggle between source and math-inset quite easily. Of course, an editable LaTeX source view would be the more generic and long awaited solution - but far more hard to implement. Günter

This is weird. Type exactly that into LyX, as normal text (for some

normal text; add the code for the extra space, and then highlight and
hit Ctrl-M. Not ideal but it works.

Yes, I've already tried copy/paste or manual back and forth between
plain text and ctrl-m. As you've discovered, once it's there, it's

LyX doesn't natively support every TeX construct, so there will always
be things like this.
Is there a way to edit the lyx source directly while in LyX? I know I
can do it separately.
It would be quite nice if LyX offered a feature to edit, say, the
source of a highlighted portion of text/math. That way, for any such
unsupported features like \\[10pt], I could just select text, edit lyx
source, a separate window/panel appears with the source, do my edits
there e.g. add \\[10pt], press done to go back to normal LyX view. I
know it looks like it defeats the purpose of LyX but would allow quick
workarounds of any troublesome situations.
What do others think?
For the math case, this actually wouldn't be that hard.
I noticed that in my lyx documents, the lyx source is the same as the
latex source for the math parts. It would be great to have a source
panel editor available at hand, especially for maths which are the most
problematic in my case.
Thanks for replying.

looked like the eqnarray-environment-boxes and it didn't work fine:
It should look similar to this:

such that g(x)=y and h(y)=z}
But at the moment (with Strg+Enter) it looks like
f(x)={z\in Z:there is an y\in Y and functions g,h\in
F
such that g(x)=y and h(y)=z}
Does anybody know how to do this.
Thanks!

Weird space after Justified line break.
Hello, I use report-koma class with LyX 1.6.4 Some of my quotations are just the prolonging phrase I began in mine words. To make an example, this is what a guy called "a very elegant way of quoting". For longer quotations in a separate quotation enviroment, I would like to do the same but if the last line of standard enviroment text is not justified, it will become definitely not elegant. That's the reason I tried to use "Justified line break" at the end of last line of standard environment, which sometimes works well (sometimes it simple doesn't work at all, leaving a single word in the last line) but always - and this is today's issue - add an unwanted additional space between the 2 environments. In the LaTeX preview it doesn't show any additional space, so maybe it is a LaTeX issue. Is there a manner to regain this extra space (maybe insert a negative space?) One more question: how can I anyway reduce space between standard and quotation enviroments? (there's too much space, sometimes) And how to have the Justified LB always work without leaving single words or even single hyphenated pieces of word in the very last line? Thanks all!

C-Enter is working as usual for me (LyX 1.6.0-1, Win XP).
In the shortcuts menu, try searching on Ctrl+Return. In the CUA
binding, at least, it's bound to newline-insert newline. Are you maybe
using a customized binding file? You might also try opening the
minibuffer (Alt-x) and, with the cursor in a math inset, type
newline-insert newline in the minibuffer and hit return. It should add
a new line to the math formula.

C-Enter works in ordinary text for me, but in a math formula it shifts the
whole formula down one line rather than breaking the line (I am using
1.6 on linux by the way). (As a workaround that might be of use, add
this to your document preamble: "\newcommand{\bb}{\\}" and then
use \bb to break your math formulas - this does seem to have some
weird formatting side effects under some conditions however.)
I don't reproduce this. For me, C-Enter in a math inset breaks the line
at the cursor location and shifts anything right of the cursor down. So
if the cursosr is at the end of the formula in a single-line math inset,
or at the end of a row in a multiline formula, an empty line is inserted
below the cursor but anything left of the cursor stays put.

2.

LyX still display it, because LyX don't try to understand what you put inside an ERT box. In this case, a comment character that invalidates the rest of that line.

Furthermore, LyX does only know about the margin definition, if it is set in the Format>Document dialog. In many (most?) cases, the textwidth is set by the class or a package. The same holds for the length of the line, which depends on the chosen font. All this is handled by LaTeX, so LyX would need to parse for "overfull hbox" warnings. IMHO, the problem could only be solved by a LaTeX package. If I got it right, the listings package has a (rudimentary) support for line wrapping.

I experience 2 Problems with that: * Indentation (done with TAB's) is ignored * Lyx (or LateX?) does not line break the code. If a line is longer than a sheet of paper, it's just cut off. I beg for help. Wolfgang
line break
Hi,
I am trying to insert a line break in the middle of a line in
"typewriter" font. If I use insert->special character->line break I get
the following in latex
\texttt{Voice1: 71,74,72,71,69,71,}~\\
\texttt{72,74,72,71,69,67}
However what I want is
\texttt{Voice1: 71,74,72,71,69,71,\\72,74,72,71,69,67}
The first one gives a blank line between the two parts and the second
one doesn't.
I can achieve this by simply inserting \\ in ERT but is there a lyx way?
Cheers,
Raphael

I am afraid I have no solution for your problem, but I'd think you'd
have to look in one of the citation related packages.
On my machine I have e.g.
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/cite/chapterbib.sty
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/cite/cite.sty
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/cite/drftcite.sty
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/cite/overcite.sty
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/citesort.sty
Most notably, overcite.sty contains stuff like
4: \renewcommand\citepunct{,} % no space and no breaks at commas
^^^
so I'd expect it to break line otherwise...

Re: missing line break within citations (no joke)
I didn't mean this as a joke, but I have to admit that I could have made myself clearer :-) What I ment was that long citations are not wrapped and that it looks pretty ugly within my paper. I am using the standard citation features of Lyx. Kind regards Olaf Olaf Thiele wrote: Hello everybody, I have the problem that lines are not wrapped within citations. This [Bush and Schwarzenegger 2003, p.34] doesn't look to good. I haved found hints about using a different package in the preamble, but I don't know how to add it. I am using LyX 1.3.2 on Windows.

missing line break within citations
Hello everybody, I have the problem that lines are not wrapped within citations. This [Bush and Schwarzenegger 2003, p.34] doesn't look to good. I haved found hints about using a different package in the preamble, but I don't know how to add it. I am using LyX 1.3.2 on Windows. Kind regards, Olaf (keywords for archive: line break, citations, cite, line wrap)

Re: line break in cv topics
Looks like, er, a job, for either minipages or tables (with lines removed).
