I do not know about the seminar stuff. This is certainly a useful
class, but do you feel it is clean enough to go in (meaning we'll
have to maintain it later)?
Guenter I am not sure either, maybe once the KeepEmpty bug is
Guenter solved... OTOH, I had some privat discussion with one user of
Guenter seminar.layout that showed that some issues might have to be
Guenter solved first -- better to have it in the contributed stuff
Guenter area right now.
I did some advertising in the LaTeXConfig file, though. (Meaning:
incorporate my diff only, if you also propagate the seminar.layout to the
contribs section... :-)
The koma-script-with-roman-headings looks like an ad-hoc thing to
me. I do not know whether I want it in.
Guenter Well, maybe it could be done better. Also, if we take it in,
Guenter we should have koma-script-with-roman-headings for all, book,
Guenter report and article.
Yes.
I'd volunteer to make the koma-script-with-roman-headings for book and
report as well if there is interest (and I have also a
koma-script-with-small-roman-headings, BTW
:-).
So, dear users: would you like to see a layout for koma script with roman
headings as part of the LyX distro?

Box at the end of a remark
Dear users,
I want to put a qed-box at the end of all my remarks. I am using ams-book
The best way seems to be to redefine the theorem-style remark to include the
\qed command which puts a box at the right place.
For an environment I would use:
\newenvironment{myremark}{\begin{remark}}{\qed\end{remark}}
But I can not find out how to do this for a theorem environment.
Second, I want lyx to use myremark instead of remark, when I select remark in
lyx
What should I do to make lyx do this?
Thanks,

WYSIWYM and line spacing
Hi,
just a question to developers: is it possible to switch off
displaying linespacing in LyX? I have to write a paper
double-spaced, but double-spacing is so awfull for authoring
a text. After all, I do not mean anything by double-spacing, so
why is it displayed in WYSIWYM editor at all?
Of course, I could cheat LyX to work as I would like it by
putting
\usepackage{setspace} \doublespacing
into preamble (which is, what I currently do), but why should be
linespacing be driven by the LaTeX setting in the first place?
Happy LyXing everybody!

Unofficial Styles contribution?
Just a suggestion; in the discussion about layout files, it was mentioned that one particular layout (komascript with roman titles) was a little specialised, and the lyx developers were concerned with maintaining it in the future. Would it be possible to set up a web or ftp site where people could contribute layout files, on the understanding that they aren't an official part of lyx? I guess the idea is something in the way of CTAN, but for lyx layout files. Layout files that are of a certain standard, and general utility, could then be included in the official distribution.

Make a copy of the layout file you are using (eg. report.layout) in
your ~/.lyx/layouts/ directory and edit that to modify the remark
environment.
You'll probably just end up writing something like the below since you
just need to alter part of an existing definition that is included

I do not know about the seminar stuff. This is certainly a useful
class, but do you feel it is clean enough to go in (meaning we'll
have to maintain it later)?
Guenter I am not sure either, maybe once the KeepEmpty bug is
Guenter solved... OTOH, I had some privat discussion with one user of
Guenter seminar.layout that showed that some issues might have to be
Guenter solved first -- better to have it in the contributed stuff
Guenter area right now.
I did some advertising in the LaTeXConfig file, though. (Meaning:
incorporate my diff only, if you also propagate the seminar.layout to the
contribs section... :-)
The koma-script-with-roman-headings looks like an ad-hoc thing to
me. I do not know whether I want it in.
Guenter Well, maybe it could be done better. Also, if we take it in,
Guenter we should have koma-script-with-roman-headings for all, book,
Guenter report and article.
Yes.
I'd volunteer to make the koma-script-with-roman-headings for book and
report as well if there is interest (and I have also a
koma-script-with-small-roman-headings, BTW
:-).
So, dear users: would you like to see a layout for koma script with roman
headings as part of the LyX distro?

Box at the end of a remark
Dear users,
I want to put a qed-box at the end of all my remarks. I am using ams-book
The best way seems to be to redefine the theorem-style remark to include the
\qed command which puts a box at the right place.
For an environment I would use:
\newenvironment{myremark}{\begin{remark}}{\qed\end{remark}}
But I can not find out how to do this for a theorem environment.
Second, I want lyx to use myremark instead of remark, when I select remark in
lyx
What should I do to make lyx do this?
Thanks,

WYSIWYM and line spacing
Hi,
just a question to developers: is it possible to switch off
displaying linespacing in LyX? I have to write a paper
double-spaced, but double-spacing is so awfull for authoring
a text. After all, I do not mean anything by double-spacing, so
why is it displayed in WYSIWYM editor at all?
Of course, I could cheat LyX to work as I would like it by
putting
\usepackage{setspace} \doublespacing
into preamble (which is, what I currently do), but why should be
linespacing be driven by the LaTeX setting in the first place?
Happy LyXing everybody!

Unofficial Styles contribution?
Just a suggestion; in the discussion about layout files, it was mentioned that one particular layout (komascript with roman titles) was a little specialised, and the lyx developers were concerned with maintaining it in the future. Would it be possible to set up a web or ftp site where people could contribute layout files, on the understanding that they aren't an official part of lyx? I guess the idea is something in the way of CTAN, but for lyx layout files. Layout files that are of a certain standard, and general utility, could then be included in the official distribution.

Make a copy of the layout file you are using (eg. report.layout) in
your ~/.lyx/layouts/ directory and edit that to modify the remark
environment.
You'll probably just end up writing something like the below since you
just need to alter part of an existing definition that is included

capacity exeeded
This may be a more TeX related question but perhaps someone already has encountered this problem and knows a solution. I'm finishing my phd-thesis right know. I work with the rather old lyx 1.1.5 fix2 and everything works fine. Problem know is that when I'm using komascript-book and pslatex as font-type I result in an error: TeX capacity exeeded, sorry [pool size=71451]. "name of one of my graphicfigures" & If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlargen me. Anybody seen this before? The LaTeX output says in one line: 71451 string characters out of 71451 I don't know what to do about it. The whole thing works with regular book-class and pslatex. Is there a wizard somewhere to help me?

I did some advertising in the LaTeXConfig file, though. (Meaning:

I'd volunteer to make the koma-script-with-roman-headings for book and
report as well if there is interest (and I have also a
koma-script-with-small-roman-headings, BTW
:-).
So, dear users: would you like to see a layout for koma script with roman
headings as part of the LyX distro?

Poster with LyX?
Dear LyXers, I have to make presentation on a conference that consists of an article and a poster (120x90 cm). The article is already done -- of course with LyX. For efficiency, I'd like to reuse stuff from the article for my poster. I thought about exporting parts to eps and scaling and arranging nicely with some tool like tgif or the like. Does anybody have some experience with this kind of task? Some more ideas how to do it, which programs to use (under Linux)? Maybe there is a Howto somewhere on the net?

Box at the end of a remark
Dear users,
I want to put a qed-box at the end of all my remarks. I am using ams-book
The best way seems to be to redefine the theorem-style remark to include the
\qed command which puts a box at the right place.
For an environment I would use:
\newenvironment{myremark}{\begin{remark}}{\qed\end{remark}}
But I can not find out how to do this for a theorem environment.
Second, I want lyx to use myremark instead of remark, when I select remark in
lyx
What should I do to make lyx do this?
Thanks,
Bas

The problem is usually not in real exceeding of TeX capacity (usual distributions are able to work with huge documents without problems), but in some endless loop you have created for LaTeX or missing right brace, which causes LaTeX to read as parametr of a command whole rest of the document.

Use prosper package. You can just apply prosper style to your current lyx file and modify it. Please refer to previous articles about how to install and run prosper under lyx.

Mandrake 8.0 doesn't play nicely with LyX 1.1.6, but so far I've had good results after installing 1.2 CVS. Mandrake 8.1 has no problems with either version. Robin

WYSIWYM and line spacing
Hi,
just a question to developers: is it possible to switch off
displaying linespacing in LyX? I have to write a paper
double-spaced, but double-spacing is so awfull for authoring
a text. After all, I do not mean anything by double-spacing, so
why is it displayed in WYSIWYM editor at all?
Of course, I could cheat LyX to work as I would like it by
putting
\usepackage{setspace} \doublespacing
into preamble (which is, what I currently do), but why should be
linespacing be driven by the LaTeX setting in the first place?
Happy LyXing everybody!

Sorry - I should have mentioned that 1.2 was compiled from source, which might be what makes the difference. You might be able to get the same results by compiling 1.1.6, but I've not tried that.
