Should have thought of that. I'm thinking of hacking amsart anyway - I
like the overall look of it, but I really don't need all the

It is possible.
One solution is to define a hacked ams-article layout,
called e.g. amsart2.layout:
- cut here
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[amsart]{article (AMS*)}
Input amsart
Style Chapter
CopyStyle Section
End
Style Section
CopyStyle Subsection
End
-- cut here
place it in ~/.lyx/layouts and select Edit->reconfigure.

different hyphenation
hi, I write documents in portuguese, using portuguese hyphenation style. However, the bibliography I cite using bibtex is written mainly in english, and must also be adequately hyphenated. There is a way to tell latex that references (or, being more general, a whole section or chapter) have a different hyphenation style? Thank you all, Luiz Eleno
section headings - a long shot
I don't suppose this is feasible, but is there any command for LyX or LaTeX that will alter the depth of all section headings; e.g., change Chapter to Section, Section to Subsection etc. (or vice versa)?

RE: Citations showing up as ?
I managed to fix my ? problems but I don't know how. When I ran latex from the command line, I noticed from the latex output that I had a couple of duplicated equation number labels. In lyx, I deleted all equations labels, and then my references started printing correctly. I added the labels back, fixing the duplicates, and the references were still correct. Then I added back the duplicates and, although as far as I know, this is exactly what I started with, the references were =still= correct! So, although my document is somehow fixed, I can't duplicate what broke it. But hopefully this will provide a clue to someone with the same problem.

hello! BibTeX style packages & LyX information request
Hello everybody. I'm using LyX LyX 1.1.6 fix 4 in Gnu/Linux, Debian distr.( I know, is not the last one, but I'm not one of the network administrators). I'm quite new to BibteX file and Style files. Using Bibview I can produce bib-file and import them in Lyx. My problem is that I would like/I need to use styles different from plain, alpha and the others standard. 1) How can I properly install packages downloaded from CTAN? Or at least, Where can I found really effective explanations about it (possibly, short/quick but detailed and mostly accurate)? I have not root privileges. I would like to put all my LyX and TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX personal stuff on my home directory. I have to create something similar to the TDS in texmf in my home? And then which program I have to run for let TeteX know my personal stuff? The style I need is Harvard style with Authors names and year as tags in the main text and without brackets. e.g. ' Yu and Raju (2002)'and not '[Yu and Raju (2002)]'. I would like to use a style, if anyone exsists, avoiding insertion of tex code in LyX. 2) And then for using 1) in LyX ? How can I do or where I have to look/read? I look forward to hear from you Bye Carlo

I am about to a buy a Sharp Zaurus (that nice little PDA featuring an extractable keyboard and with Linux inside...), featuring an ARM and the QTopia GUI (basically QT embedded) which can be replaced with X11 (OpenZaurus project). I am wondering if anyone of you has succeeded porting--and using--lyX on the Zaurus (and, if so, with which GUI). I am *not* interested in the *whole* LaTeX environment ported, but just in the possibility of *editing LyX files the WYSYWIM way*. Any good news? Thanks a lot in advance!

Re: Redhat install: libforms RPM
The xforms-0.88-4 rpm on the LyX ftp site works for me, but libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 was still missing. On rpmfind.net I found a package which contains this version: ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386/libstdc++-2.95.1_2.10.0-3.i386.rpm Unfortunately on RH7.2 this conflicts with other packages (libstdc++-2.96-108.7.2 and compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.16). So the solution was to manually copy the libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so file from the rpm package to /usr/lib, and run ldconfig. I hope this helps. denespal

I'm just finishing one book in LyX and have glossary (although without
equations) in it.
It looks like:
\glossary{term: definition}
All my glossary terms are in one lyx file which is part of the master document.
Please note that I'm using xindy for producing index & glosary since it can
handle foreign languages and make proper sorting order (I use Croatian language
with Sanskrit diacritics).
It's not complicated.
After running LyX (LaTeX) you get *.glo file and then with the script from xindy
package you run: tex2xindy glossfile.ext.
(it produces filw which xindy can handle out of LaTeX glossary file).
Then, xindy -o output.gls glossary.xdy glossfile.ext
which produce LaTeX "gls" (glossary output file) from xindy file.
Run latex one more time and that's it.
Hope it helps.

Re: Including CVS $Log$ tag in LyX doxument
Daniel Clark/Cambridge/IBM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I'd like to have a section of a LyX document be revision history > using the CVS $Log$ tag. The problem is that LyX seems to reformat > the $Log$ entry, which is multiple lines separated by single > linebreaks, into a single ugly line. You can have a look at the rcsinfo package for LaTeX. This works also for cvs files. It's not supported directly by lyx, but it's no problem to use it with ERT. Thomas

"run view pdf, then leave the acrobat window open, modify the text then rerun view pdf" It also does this with the "update pdf" However if you "close" the acrobat window and then rerun view pdf it works fine! Hence I would suggest you close acrobat before attempting to view/update it again. It seems to me to be a problem (maybe it was ment to work like this?) with acrobat and not lyx. Someone should perhaps check this hypothesis on a linux release of lyx 1.2.1 and linux acrobat reader program. Regards Rob ## Dr. Robert Köhler B.Sc. B.Eng.
