window font looks like crumbled cookies
The appearance of my font in LyX looks like crumbled cookes. It is hard to make out an exclamation point. I searched through the LyX archives, and found that your screen font is determined by the Lyxrc file. I also found that I could get font info if I ran 'lyx -dbg font'. I did this, and this is my output: lyx -dbg font Setting debug level to font Debugging `font' (Font handling) Find a free buffer. Using scalable font to get -urw-times-medium-r-normal--13-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 Font 'Roman, Medium, Upright, Normal, Language: English' matched by -urw-times-medium-r-normal--13-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 LyX: X11 color linen allocated for background LyX: X11 color grey40 allocated for bottom area LyX: X11 color black allocated for cursor LyX: X11 color black allocated for text Let me also add that other applications on my linux box look fine. For example, vim and KDE Word both appear fine. Abiword, however, looks just like LyX--it has that crumbled cookie look. How do I add a nice font to my lyxrc file to get the screen font to look readable? Thanks Paul -- *Paul Tremblay * *[EMAIL PROTECTED]*

Because that's the default chosen by LaTeX, not LyX's doing... You could toggle between 'indent, no space between paragraphs' and 'no indention, but some space between paragraphs' using Layout->Document->Separation.

The LyX documentation covers this. Par indentnation is used as a visual
guide to help identify separate paragraphs. For the first paragraph,
there is no need for this, as there is already vertical space.
However, if you want the indentation (some would say this is broken
behaviour), simply do Layout->preamble and type :
\usepackage{indentfirst}

I have tried to do it with OpenOffice/StarOffice, but the quality of the formulas is inadequate, and the program is too buggy and quirky when the document is increasingly complicated. Lyx is my last hope to avoid using Word, which I basically just won't do. I'll get another job before I do that. My company has some LaTeX text class files for making its official reports, I'm hoping I can use those in Lyx. I haven't learned enough yet to try that, I'm just starting to learn Lyx.

The whole story is a little bit long. I frequently work on both my linux
box (with T1) and the department server (without T1). Since the
linux/lyx file could not be compiled on the server so I complained to
our system administrator. He added T1 support to latex recently but
pdflatex still does not work with T1. I am too tired of this and would
like to switch off T1 on both side.
I have reconfigured lyx on the server so I do not know if server/lyx was
using OT1 or not. I might still need to use T1 since some new latex
packages require it.
Thank you very much for your help.

I have written a 480,000 word book in 38 chapters using a master file and a separate file for each chapter. I use "include" (Insert>Include) without any ERT. The only problem I have had is occasional reluctance to generate (or regenerate) the table of contents. One big advantage is that I can easily maintain different master files for different print formats: for example, I currently have master files to generate Letter and A4 page sizes. I keep the master and chapter files in one directory, and use the same directory for PDF, TeX and PS files. The master file and chapter files need to be all the same class (in my case, book) and no preamble in the chapter files. -- L. R. Denham -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

In the preamble:
\newcounter{mypart}
\renewcommand{\themypart}{\arabic{mypart}}
\@addtoreset{section}{mypart}
\newcommand{\mypart}[1]{
\refstepcounter{mypart}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\themypart.\arabic{section}}
{\centering\huge\bfseries #1\par}}
You might need to add some vertical space above/below the title.
If the chapter is not the last chapter, you will need to add
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\thechapter.\arabic{section}}
at the end of the chapter.
2 parts in one chapter
Hi lyxers, I'm using the book-koma-script style and want to format one chapter with aspecial description. All the chapters are based on (section, subsection...) but this one should be different: It should contain 2 parts, each containing sections, subsections... as described below. Each part should have a minitoc and independant numbering of the sections, subsections... Perhaps easy for lyx/latex users but... Hope it is clear enough... exemple: Chapter X "The main title of the chapter" Part 1 (numbering here is not necessary, the title is enough) - "The first part of the work" 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Work done 1.3 Conclusion Part 2 "Second part of the work" 2.1 Introduction 2.2 How should I define each part in order to have this scheme? -- Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics German, the lovers Italian and it's all organised by the Swiss.

large documents, devision into several parts
Hello lyxers,
can anybody give me a hint how best to organize a large document in
lyx?
I will have to write a dissertation and have started to use lyx. In
latex I know it's fine to use
\includeonly{chapx, chapy,chapz}
\include{chapa}
\include{chapb}
\include{chapc}
\include{chapd}
.
.
.
Is there a better fitting way to do a similar thing with lyx?
remark: I've tried \includeonly{} for lyx in tex-code but I get an error
message. If I use the include command from the lyx menue insert and
choose "nicht setzten" (german, maybe it's something like "do not set"
in english) it does not work properly.
I use lyx version 1.1.6fix2.

What surprises me is that, if you have no T1 font support, lyx should
autodetect this and default to OT1.

Well, like you suggested, the promised land was within the borders of latex2html documentation. For the sake of completeness I'll mention the fix. The equation numbers weren't appearing in my .html because I ran the converter on the latex file without first compiling the latex and creating the .aux file. When I compiled the latex first, and then ran the converter, everything turned out beautiful. Thanks, Alex
