Text class not found

[Martin]

I'm getting "Document uses an unknown text class X" when opening an
document.
How do I fix this? I put the file X.layout in /usr/share/lyx/layouts and
also in my ~/.lyx/layouts catalog 
but is something more needed for LyX to find the file?

Condensing spacing in table of contents?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

When taken down to level 4 (subsection), my table of contents is 30 pages 
long, which is too long for a mail order book. The lines appear to be double 
spaced, which I think is overkill. Anyone know how to reduce the spacing 
between lines in the table of contents?

Thanks

Steve

Re: BibTeX style problem

Many thanks again to those who suggested me to use natbib. It works

still must find a perfect style and I think I'll try to adapt

Pybliographic problem

[Guido]

[slightly OT, excuse me]
After re-installing pybliographic, I found some little problems. Checking the 
messages produced both by pybliographer (= command line) and pybliographic 
(GUI) I read this and similar messages:

WARNING: Python C API version mismatch for module _recode:
  This Python has API version 1009, module _recode has version 1010.
WARNING: Python C API version mismatch for module _bibtex:
  This Python has API version 1009, module _bibtex has version 1010.

What should I do? I have python 2.0; I am not familiar with that language.

AW: lyx install on a win 2000 machine

[Steffen Seufert]

Hi Kent,

maybe something is wrong with your miktex-installation, not with lyx.
To find this out export your text to latex-format within lyx.
Then open a command prompt and change currentdir to the doc-dir and
use "texify -p mytext.tex".
If that doesn't work, your miktex/bibtex installation is
corrupt.

1) HTML
This seems like a problem of the latex2html converter (do you use
latex2html ?). Some converters (e.g. tth) will not create PNG if they find
existing PNG.
You can solve the problem with latex2html by using the following ERT for 
each image:

\latex{insert image inset here}
\begin{rawhtml}\end{rawhtml}

Since it is tiresome to do it for each image, you can write a perl script that
takes a latex file, and replaces each \includegraphics{foo.eps} command
by 
 \latex{\includegraphics{foo.eps}}
 \begin{rawhtml}\end{rawhtml}

2) PDF
Lyx doesn't do any image conversion when creating PDF.
Do you use an external script (tex2pdf), or do you use the CVS version of lyx ?

I asked this question 10 days ago, when I was much younger and much more 
innocent. I've spent the last week indexing my 117,000 word book, and can 
tell you any automated solution would IMHO create an index useless to the 
reader. What to include, what to exclude, what to call it, and the desired 
index hierarchy requires judgement calls based not only on words, but on 
subtleties of their context. 

It's a long, hairy process. When I wrote Samba Unleashed, Macmillan had 
people whose job title was "indexer". These people were experts on indexing a 
book. Whole books have been written on the subtleties of good book indexing. 
We're not talking the technology here -- we're talking the organization and 
inclusion.

If you'll be indexing your book, here are some suggestions:

* If you use Mandrake, there's a bug covered later in this email.
* If you can afford to hire an expert indexer, that might be a good idea.
* Make a list of all words in your book, and use that to give you indexing 
ideas.
* Use your table of contents to give you ideas of very important items to be 
indexed.
* Place your list of see's and seealso's directly above the index. Use that 
list to give yourself ideas about inclusion and hierarchy.
* If an indexed word occurs in a heading, you'll probably want to make its 
entire section a range, using |( in the heading and |) at the end of the 
section. Then don't search individual occurrences of that index term within 
the section.
* Before beginning your indexing tasks, read the following documentation:
** Extended.lyx->1.3 Making an Index
** Reference.lyx->3.5.3 index-insert, 3.5.4 index-print, 
** /usr/share/texmf/doc/makeindex/makeindex.dvi
** In the preceding file, especially read section "When, Why, What and How to 
Index". It gives you technology-independent indexing rules of the road.
** You may want to skim the VERY difficult doc 
/usr/share/texmf/doc/makeindex/ind.dvi, but if it confuses you don't.

* If you're using Mandrake, there's an auto-indexing bug. The workaround is 
this shellscript:

rm -f $1.aux
rm -f $1.dvi
rm -f $1.idx
rm -f $1.ilg
rm -f $1.ind
rm -f $1.log
rm -f $1.tex
rm -f $1.toc
lyx --export latex $1.lyx
latex $1.tex
makeindex $1.idx
konqueror $1.ind $1.ilg

If $1.ilg shows no warnings or errors, copy $1.ind into the bottom of your 
document and make it ERT. (Many thanks to Paul Benham for this workaround).

If $1.ilg shows errors, look up the page number and nature of those errors in 
$1.idx, then find the document section(s) for that page in an up-to-date 
postscript file, and then find the document section in the LyX file and fix 
the problem.

Indexing is like working in the salt mines. It's tedious, uncomfortable, 
exhausting and error prone. Perhaps this email will at least prevent you from 
getting stuck on indexing technologies, allowing you more time to get stuck 
on indexing philosophy. :-)

Enumerate and figures: numbering starts at '1' again

[Zarathustra]

Hi,

I want to make a document which consists of  the LaTeX-code 'enumerate'. Some 
'sections' have figures in it (.eps). My problem is, that after insertion of 
a figure, the enumeration begins at '1' again.

Like:

1. bla, bla
2. blablabla
   
1. blabla

Of course, this isn't what I want.
Are there possibillities to avoid this.

Thanks, Zarathustra

So you need more then 12 pt, you should try the 
ext{book,article,letter,report} class, they allow you to define smaller (8 
and 9) or bigger (14 17 and 20) font size but you must install first the 
extsizes package (don't remember how I got it, you should search the ML, 
anyone there know?).

With `pdfscreen' you get a "visual"-friendly version of the document,
where the pages have the same aspect-ratio as the monitor. By zooming
them, the benefit of using it would be lost.

I'm writing a book from which I will derive both a .dvi for

Now I'm facing the fact that the fonts are too small in the pdf

Include in your LyX document in TeX mode

\setcounter{chapter}{n}

before the first chapter of part two. „n“ stands for the number of the 
chapter part two starts with _minus_one_, as chapter counter is 
incremented with each \chapter command in LaTeX. That is at least what

If you do the modules as two LyX docs each module in the end will be a 
seperate LaTeX document. I think this is the best way to achieve it.

Hope this helps.
