hollywood template.
Thanks to Herb V. I have the hollywood template working now. I increased the right margin to one inch, to meet the standards I have read. Hollywood (the place) is very fussy about format. I still have one major problem with the hollywood class. The header has a rule! That is verboten in Hollywood. I tried uncommenting some lines in the hollywood.cls file but that gave me errors. I am a long time TeXer but LaTeX is not my best friend. So I don't know what to do to kill the rule. Any suggestions? -- John Culleton -> Please visit http://ccpl.carr.org/~john/
LyX tables
I am trying to generate lyx documents as standard letters from an application. Can anyone explain to me the arrays of numbers in the .lyx file that appear with the \LyXTable statement. e.g. 3 5 0 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 8 1 0 "" "" 8 1 0 "" "" 8 1 0 "" "" 8 1 0 "" "" 8 1 1 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" This last line repeated 15 times. The 3 and 5 seem to be the no of rows and cols (respectively), Followed, I presume by 3 sets of properties for the rows, then 5 set of properties for the columns. Where can I find a detailed explanation? John O'Gorman Auckland NZ _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Re: bullets AND French language
Well, a possibility is to use a patched french package.
1. Set the document to the default langage,
2. Put \usepackage{french2} in the latex preamble,
3. The french2.sty, taken from the frenchb.ldf file could be such as the
attached file.
It is not clean at all, but it seems to work. The problem is if you want
to use a spellchecker on your document.
I've tried the Herbert proposal: layout->document->bullets, but with the
french langage it doesn't seem to work. Maybe I don't do the right
thing...

URLs for html?
When I turn a lyx-generated .tex file into an html file using latex2html, the URL's don't come out right. Is there some better tool for turning latex files, or preferably .lyx files, into html files with properly formed urls? Lance Simmons
bullets AND French language
Hello, I am writing a grammar book in which I have used "itemize" extensively to highlight examples. The document (meta)language is French so items are shown with a "-" (minus) sign. I know this is the correct way to display items according to French typographical conventions, yet I would like something fancier, if possible. Is there any way to force items to appear with bullets instead? (I suspect that, in the true WYSIWYM spirit, I shouldn't have used "itemize" if I did not really mean itemize. However, my LaTeX skills amount to about zero, so I could not figure out how to define a customised environment). Thanks in advance, Lorint
How to find text classes
OK I have a fresh install and compile of lyx 1.1.15fix1 on my Slack 7 Linux system. For most templates other than letter I get a message like: unknown textclass hollywood [around line four of /usr/local/share/lyx/templates/hollywood.lyx] Now I have tried moving hollywood.cls to the same directory under texmf where letter.cls is found but that doesn't help. I tried ./configure but that didn't help either. 1. How do I set up the necessary paths? 2. is a textclass the same as a foo.cls file? -- John Culleton -> Please visit http://ccpl.carr.org/~john/

I strongly agree, however I recommend reading about BibTeX database format even when using a GUI just to understand what is happening as the concept is very different from "normal" textprocessing systems (far better) Besides Chapters about BibTeX in any good LaTeX book I recommend the files btxdoc.txt und btxdoc.bib that come with BibTeX and should be part of every complete TeX installation.

Call for feature
Hello, All. I finally moved from lyx-1.1.4 to lyx-1.1.5fix1 and liked it very much. Especially I liked the possibility to create multilingual documents. But this feature is not full without possibility to change inputencoding as well. Is it possible to include such feature in upcoming version ? For 1.1.5 i can suggest the patch to add this feature and also to provide the possibility to add more encoding and languages than precompiled in LyX. A.K.

Are you sure that you have both the libraries *and* the header files installed? In suse, they are normally split into two packages, e.g. xforms-0.88.1-162 and xformsd-0.88.1-162. The first one are the libraries, needed to run precompiled dynamically linked binaries, the latter the header files needed to compile something yorself.
