Yes! Finally! I had asked a very similar question one or two days
ago. Solution: /etc/lyxrc or ~/.lyx/lyxrc must contain:

\view_dvi_command "gnome-gv $( basename $$FName .dvi ).pdf"
\pdf_mode true

or use 'gv', 'acroread' or 'xpdf' instead of 'gnome-gv'. None of them
is ideal. The gv's can watch the file so that you can use LyX's
"update dvi", but don't have continous scrolling. The pdf's can scroll
documents continously, but they can't watch a pdf file. If you know
better, please tell me so!

Enjoy, and Gruesse von Bonn nach Bonn,

try in tex (red) for example

\addtolength{\parskip}{-0.2cm}

changing to your old parskip with

\addtolength{\parskip}{+0.2cm}

hope this helps

lyx unrelated: wp for console

2000-11-10 Thread Ronald Florence

Auctex with emacs would work on a console or serial terminal, although
Auctex is much better with X-windows where you can use xdvi and/or
ghostview previewers, and better still with Xemacs.

I wrote several books with Auctex and emacs before switching to LyX.

lyx unrelated: wp for console

2000-11-10 Thread Christopher

I'm setting a friend up on Linux... he really needs to steer clear of X with
this system he's got. He's command line inclined anyway, so I thought I'd ask
whether any of you know of a good wp program to run in the console. At minimum,
it would need to handle footnotes.

The reason I don't just put him on with TeX is he's not really excited about
having to learn new stuff at present. He gets frustrated and bored with complex
stuff, he just wants to write papers in a microsoft-free environment.

Any suggestions?



endnotes

2000-11-10 Thread Ronald Florence

I'm using endnotes.sty with a book-length manuscript, written with
each chapter a file, included into a master.lyx file.  In the lyx
prologue of the master file I have

  \let\footnote=\endnote

and by including something like 

  \newpage
  \begingroup
  \parindent 0pt
  \parskip 2ex
  \def\enotesize{\normalsize}
  \theendnotes
  \endgroup

in TeX mode at the end of the manuscript, I can get a formatted list
of endnotes.  I would prefer to see the endnotes formatted with a
heading for each chapter and the numbering restarted for each chapter.

Has anyone done this, or know how I can do it?  Thanks,

But this is paragraph spacing and not line spacing.

Line spacing uses a multiplier so that is easy to get smaler than he
standard line spacing.

Paragraph spacing is harder and currently I think you have  to put
some latex magic in your preamble (but that will work globally and not
for a singele paragraph)

You can also add some latex code right after your paragrap and mark it
as tex.

\vspace{-3cm}

might work

Available document classes

2000-11-10 Thread Emanuele Olivetti

Hi,
many people in my Linux User Group ask me about other document classes 
than those present in 1.1.5fix2 version of LyX. Is there a list (or, can 
we set up one now) of all document class available?

I'm looking through the user-list mail archive to get some links.

Thanks to everybody,


Emanuele





Viewing PDF file

2000-11-10 Thread Schaefer

Hello everybody,

I am new to this list and have already scanned throug the archives, but have
not found a satisfactory answer yet. 
My Problem: I have managed to setup LyX, so that it produces nice clear PDF
output via PDFLaTeX.
The only left Problem is, that I cannot find a possibility to view the
result directly. 
The PDF File resides in a /tmp/lyx_tmp... directory still.
The Menu command View DVI still assumes a file with a DVI ending (I can
change the viewer to a PDF one, though)
Is there some command in LyX, which I can assign a button to, that shows me
my file?

Any ideas?

Another way which is working is 'export lyx' followed by an explicit pdlatex
run. But that's still time consuming...

Cheers,
André

There's also "dinat.bst" on CTAN. German users might find it useful,
it provides a DIN-conform citation style.
