beginning of a chapter

1999-05-04 Thread Achim Maldener

Hi,
is there an easy way to tell LyX always to start new chapters on odd
pages (that means to insert blank pages if necessary)? I'm using the
documentclass "report" for my thesis.
TIA

Not really. I already selected 'two sides' and everything is fine (page

Have a look at book.layout. You will find out that it mainly includes
stdclass.inc. Now, stdclass.inc mainly includes a bunch of other .inc
files which define sections, lists and others.

If you want to create your own class, you can create a layout file
which includes the common .inc files and then defines styles of its
own. Another example of that is the ams layouts (although these also
redefine some of the existing layouts).

A5 book with Lyx

1999-05-04 Thread Sasa Janiska

Hello!

I'm very happy using Lyx in producing one A5 book, but I have one
problem.

I'd like to print 2 A5 pages on one A4 paper for easier proof reading
and later for final preparation.

When I use psbook | file.ps psnup -2  tmp.ps, I'm getting too small
letters because of scaling.
However, when I use -s1 option with psnup, the upper part of the page
is cut off.

Does anyone has any suggestion how to solve this?
Sincerely,
Sasa
