Hi,

try inserting "\setlength{\columnsep}{value}" (don't forget the unit in
"value") in the LaTeX preamble (pull down:  "Layout -> LaTeX
Preamble").  This will do what you want.

Happy LyXing!

Hi,

I don't know if you can do this directly from LyX.  But at least you can
export your text as PostScript file (pull down combination: "File ->
Export -> as PostScript"), and then run it through ps2pdf.  This works
fine.

A little hint to keep the file size small:  Select a font different from
"default" at the font selector at "Layout -> Document"!  This also
enhances the look of your pdf document if you magnify it in a pdf
viewer.

Happy LyXing!
Dirk

The newest lyx-1.1.3 RPM's can be found at

ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.3-1.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/tetex-lyx-1.1.3-1.i386.rpm

The source RPM is at:

ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.3-1.src.rpm

To the people that make RPM's for older Redhat or SUSE/other Linux versions:

NOW is the time for all good packagers to come to the aid of their
international community! Package up lyx-1.1.3 from these RPMs and
then upload them to ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/incoming

Release of LyX 1.1.3.

1999-11-30 Thread Lars Gullik Bjønnes


Even if we are still busy doing a lot of code shuffling and cleanup we
have time to release a new version.

New Features:
- the -dbg command line switch is enhanced. f.ex. "-dbg lyxrc"
works now. 
- lightly better handling of dependency tracking for bibtex files.
- new lyxfunc: command-sequence. Makes it possible to run
several lyxfuncs with one command.
- possible to use a more formal regex in file dialogs
- incomplete support for CVS as revision control backend, use
with _extreme_ care.
- it is now possible to redefine the font used in lyxcode
Updates:
- g-brief updated
Bug Fixes:
- output ~ and ^ as \textasciitilde and \textasciicircum
- tth invocation should now be correct

Possibly broken:
- literate support  (no reports in either direction)

Also LyX no longer outputs data and creator into the .lyx files.

Note that the internal code changes have been great, so unwanted bugs
might have sneaked in. No serious bugs have been reported, but use
with care.

LyX 1.1.3 can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.1.3.tar.tgz
(will be moved to stable if few/no serious bugs are reported)
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.3.tar.gz

I am sure that pointers to rpm's for Redhat will be posted soon.

A solution: switch the textclass to 'book' and add the following
commands marked as 'TeX':

\frontmatterat the beginning of the document
\mainmatter after the introduction
\backmatter before the conclusion

Then you can use normal chapters for intro and conclusion.

No.  There is nothing that interoperates with MS math formula.  I have
tried them all.  MS has no interest in interoperating.

Actually, there is a commercial software (very expensive) that could do
it (with formulae). You can download a demo @ http://www.ktalk.com/. I
didn't try it.  It seems to be a word macro. It also performs
tex->Wordpefect conversion.

Yes I know one way - but you will need to go into TEX mode. In tex mode,
use

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{foo}

where foo = the name of your chapter (introduction and conclusion),
obviously!

This will add foo to the table of contents as a chapter. 

Use this in conjunction with the Chapter* style.

Hm, I got mine from the CTAN Archive, allthough "only" a dtx version.
It is Version 2.4, 1997/10/23.
If you don't find it there send me a mail and I'll send the cls and sty

Environment and t.o.c

1999-11-30 Thread Raphael GURLIE


Hi, dear lyxers !!

I am using lyx-1.0.1-2 on a linux based pc.
Like so many of you I am just writing my thesis with lyx.
I chose the report document style, and now I wonder about some little
d=E9tails.

My "manuscript" is divided in several charpter, a general
introduction, and a general conclusion.
If I want the chapter titles to appear in the table of contents, I
have to choose the "Chapter" environment, but then, Introduction
appears as Chapter 1, and if I try the "Chapter*" environment for the
Introduction, then it doesn't appear in the toc.
So, is there a way to get the Introduction and Conclusion indexed in
the toc, not considered as Chapter 1 and N ??

Any Ideas ??
