Could you send us a .log file produced by LaTeX when running on a

Re: About hyphenation

2000-12-27 Thread Emanuele Olivetti

I think it's the usual problem... :-)

The problem is LaTeX, not LyX.

Follow these steps:
Become root and run 'texconfig'
Go in the hyphenation-latex menu
Texconfig let you edit a configuration file : uncomment the line about spanish
language (I don't remember now, it's something like removing '#', but it's 
quite clear anyway).
Exit and save from the editor and from texconfig. After a long (automatic)
rebuilding you'll have full support of your language.
Start LyX (maybe it's better to reconfigure?).

That's all.

Hope this helps.

Emanuele

P.S.: WARNING: if you don't know how to use VI you'll find some problem, 
because usually it's the standard editor for texconfig. Read something 
about VI first. Again, don't try to modify the configuration file outside 
texconfig evironnement: latex won't know the changes... if you don't have 
a long rebuilding at the end of texconfig, you have canged nothing.

P.S.II : If my answer is correct (I hope), maybe it's better to put it in 
the FAQ... I found this question MANY MANY times.  ;-)



Diacritical and cropmarks

2000-12-27 Thread Dr. Antonio Botelho de Sousa

One more time i need your help. I'm writing a book on medical statistics, and 
my print bureau wants me to send the files in PDF format, with crop marks.
How can i insert crop marks in the post-script output of a Lyx file?
Other question:
How can i insert diacritical marks, like y-hat or x with a little bar over, 
like the sample mean?
Thank for your help.

You can use the crop package. This is the description from CTAN:

Support for cropmarks.
A package providing corner marks for camera alignment as well as for
trimming paper stacks, and additional page information on every page if
required. Most
macros are easily adaptable to personal preferences.

Look at:

CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/supported/crop/
