Paperfontsize

2000-08-31 Thread Philipp Vetter

Hello,

 My question is: how can I change the paperfontsize to 9 pt?
 Lyx only seems to give me the options default, 10,11 or 12 pt.
I am writing a two-column document, for which the smaller font size would
be very useful

[I tried changing /paperfontsize in my Lyx document manually, but that
doesn't work]


Thank you

RE: Followup: Bibliography problems.

2000-08-31 Thread Zailong Bian


Hi...

I actually FIXed it!  I specifyed the key value in each of the bib item.  I
used author's lastname+year as the key and ignore the label(so the
citation appears as number in print).  It is easier when I want to cite it
since the key is more meaningful than number only. 

I just had to go throw my report and change all the citations. But I am
happy with lyx now!

I think there is still a problem: if I change the key value in Bibliography
item, the key value cited in text will not get updated then it appears as
error (?).  Also, it does not detect duplicate key value...

 The bibliography sesms having some problems.

 For example:

 The 7th bib item has key value 8.  And where I refer to it in text, it
 appears as [8] in lyx.  But when I print it, it prints out [7] in the
paper.
 So, it seems that I can get around the problem by always refering to
the key
 value, not the number showing in the grey box at beginning of each bib
item.
 At least it is correct on printed copy. But the problem is:  one
single key
 valye can show up twice in different bib items!  That happened so it
is
 really a problem!

 Anyone has a fix?  Thanks!!

it's a little bit difficult to change the document-font to other

therefore i use my own ext-classes, which have an option for

8-9-14-17-20pt

they are always the same to the other classes, only with
prefix ext:
extarticle, extbook, extreport, extletter

you need package extsizes were this classes are defined. in
~/.lyx/layouts you only have to copy the correspondig layouts
e.g. for article:

article.layout - extarticle.layout
...

now change the second line in extarticle.layout to
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass{extarticle}

insert the three lines:
ClassOptions
  FontSize  8|9|14|17|20
end

and now do a ./configure from ~./lyx or from within lyx a

Bibliography

2000-08-31 Thread Will Fischer

Greetings:

The recent bibliography thread reminded me:  inserting several bibtex
references in a row doesn't do what I'd like:  

(Lyx window)_becomes_  (latex)
blah[cite1][cite2] blah \cite{cite1}\cite{cite2}

The output then looks like this:  blah [1][2]
when it ought to be this: blah [1-2]

How about merging adjacent citations when the LaTex output is
generated, like this:

(Lyx window)   _becomes_  (latex)
blah[cite1][cite2][cite3] blah \cite{cite1,cite2,cite3}

This way bibtex can Do The Right Thing, be it [1-3] or
(key1,key2,key3) or whatever.  Pehaps adjacent \LatexCommand
insets should routinely be merged when the actual LaTex output is
generated -- but the citation-merging would still need to happen. 

As is, (LyX 1.1.5fix1 of Tue Jul 18, 2000) I can put in the several
citation keys in the bibtex pop-up (and it works fine) BUT it makes
adding citations or changing their arrangement more problematic.

Otherwise, I Like Lyx! (Let's make "ILL" buttons!)

The output then looks like this:  blah [1][2]
when it ought to be this: blah [1-2]

How about merging adjacent citations when the LaTex output is
generated, like this:

(Lyx window)   _becomes_  (latex)
blah[cite1][cite2][cite3] blah \cite{cite1,cite2,cite3}

This way bibtex can Do The Right Thing, be it [1-3] or
(key1,key2,key3) or whatever.  Pehaps adjacent \LatexCommand
insets should routinely be merged when the actual LaTex output is
generated -- but the citation-merging would still need to happen. 

As is, (LyX 1.1.5fix1 of Tue Jul 18, 2000) I can put in the several
citation keys in the bibtex pop-up (and it works fine) BUT it makes
adding citations or changing their arrangement more problematic.

Otherwise, I Like Lyx! (Let's make "ILL" buttons!)

How to suppress FoilTeX advertising

2000-08-31 Thread Martijn Brouwer

How can I suppress the annoying 'Typeset by FoilTeX' messages in a FoilTeX
presentation? Even Micro$oft does not play such a trick...

TIA,

Martijn
