New feature suggest

1999-02-12 Thread Thomas Stroese

Hi Lyxers!

Thanks for the great release 1.0.0!

I have 2 little suggestions for new features:

Makeindex:  In the dialog box for new index entries could be two
shortcuts and buttons ("bf", "em"), which add a "|textbf" 
bzw. "|textit" in order to generate a bold bzw. emphasized 
pagenumber in the index. 

Fontshape \slshape: Why is there no entry in the Reference Manual and
no command/shurtcut for \slshape? Wasn't it there in an
earlier release? It is nice i.e. in theorem 
environments. Or have I been to stupid to find it?
(It in of course in the layout-charakter menue.)

Another feature I'd like to see is the ability to print just the TOC from
within LyX.

Though, if someone could tell me what I can do with the file.toc I get
from exporting a LyX file, then runnin LaTeX on it, that might get me through.
(I know nothing about (La)Tex :(

Thanks,

You don't need to, it's rather a PostScript problem (or a dvips one).
That's not excatly FROM LyX, but you may currently print to file, and
then print the selected pages from a (good) ps previewer - here
I use ghostview.
You may also "Export to dvi" and then invoke dvips with something like
dvips -f foo -pp3-4 | lp
for file foo.lyx (->foo.dvi) supposing that the toc is on page 3-4.
The same trick allows to print 2 logical pages per physical page with
dvips -f foo -pp3-4 | psnup -2 |lp
if you have the psutils package (very useful for slides, and for page
layout control - with psnup -12 or even psnup -24 :-).

This will be possible from within LyX when the print menu includes page 
selection and postfiltering specification, features which must be in the 
TODO list, I suppose.

The .toc file is an auxiliary not supposed to be used outside LaTeX.

Hi,

Unfortunately, this would really be too particular and some people
would just come and ask why it is not possible to get a slanted page
number...

There is no particular function for slanted because people probably
felt it did not deserve it... It is not difficult to implement but, as
usual, you would have more chances to see this done if you provided
some code :)
