Re: Roman numerals page numbers
Thanks Dekel,
The first way does not work, the second way works, but the problem is
that the first couple of pages (5 to be precise) are numbered using
roman numerals, the last one being v. Then, when Chapter 1 starts, the
numbering reverts to arabic, which is great, but it starts from 6, and I
want it to start from 1. How do I achieve this?

For the book class, write
\frontmatter

\mainmatter
before the 1st chapter.
If you are using a class for which the above doesn't work, use
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}
to change to Roman numbering, and
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}}
to switch to normal numbering.

as a note, using

us international keymap and RedHat
Hello all: I am having strange problems with LyX and Red Hat. For some reason the US international keymap works fine with accented characters, but I cannot get the quotation and apostrophe marks working properly. In RedHat 7.3, I resolved this by having the default keyboard set to us_intl, turning off the Overide X-Windows Dead Keys in LyX, and then manually switching from the US International keymap to the US keymap in KDE everytime that I needed quotation marks. Inconvenient, but it works. The KDE in RH8, however, has the keymap switching function seriously altered, and my only choices are Bengali and Arabic, making my switching deal impossible. Any workaround for this either in LyX or in RH8? I have looked at the keymap items in the LyX documentation, but can't seem to figure it out. Thanks for your help, Jim

comprehensive LyX presentation?
Hi.. does anyone have a comprehensive presentation on LyX that can be used to demonstrate to a group of people the advantages of LyX, bringing out the most important ones (as in ones that increase efficiency over editing Latex directly, and for people new to Latex - a reason to start using Latex)? I'm looking to give a short pitch to a bunch of grad students, some who use Latex pretty extensively (using either direct Latex editing or a front end like Winedit or so) and others who've never used Latex. I looked at the various documents available off the LyX website and something that came very close to this was the doc written by Laura Jackson and Herbert.. but before I work on making a presentation out of this, I'd like to find out if anyone's done this before and if yes, then could you please email me the file? Thanks, nirmal

I've been wondering how to get that particular doc class to work? The LaTeXConfig.lyx doc doesn't mention it and I can't seem to find any reference to it anywhere. I'm not even sure what it is.

Do such things exist as that is one area my lyx installation does not seem to cover?

VTeX
here (http://www.perce.de/LyX/VTeX.pdf) you can see, what is possible with the free VTeX for Linux. It supports in an easy way the PostScript related packages and produces pdf by default. The above demo uses the parshape command and inserts the LyX and smiley with pstricks, which is not possible with pdflatex. The link for VTeX: http://www.micropress-inc.com/linux/ The good news is that VTeX/Lnx is free. Herbert -- http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/

it's easy to use in ERT
\pagenumbering{roman}
at the beginning of the document
and then set to
\pagenumbering{arabic}
in due place.
as a note, using
\pagenumbering{Roman}
you will get capital romans (I, II, III, IV s.a.m.d.)
us international keymap and RedHat
Hello all: I am having strange problems with LyX and Red Hat. For some reason the US international keymap works fine with accented characters, but I cannot get the quotation and apostrophe marks working properly. In RedHat 7.3, I resolved this by having the default keyboard set to us_intl, turning off the "Overide X-Windows Dead Keys" in LyX, and then manually switching from the US International keymap to the US keymap in KDE everytime that I needed quotation marks. Inconvenient, but it works. The KDE in RH8, however, has the keymap switching function seriously altered, and my only choices are Bengali and Arabic, making my switching deal impossible. Any workaround for this either in LyX or in RH8? I have looked at the keymap items in the LyX documentation, but can't seem to figure it out. Thanks for your help, Jim

book layout and bibliography
Another day... another question!! This time, I would like to generate, using the bibliography style from the book-koma-script layout, 1 bibliography but with the items sorted by chapter: Bibliography chapter 1 [MUL85] [POO98].. Chapter 2 How is it possible to write "Chapter 1".. after the main title "Bibliography"? Jean-Philippe

I have a similar problem related scrolling. When I edit a big table, say, more than one window, if I change focus to another window, e.g. to copy some text from emacs, then change focus back to lyx by clicking on either the title bar, the canvas or the scroll bar, the behavior of lyx is unpredictable. Most of the time, lyx will scroll up or down and leave my current input cell out of sight. It is a little bit annoying. -- Bo Peng
enumerate lable.
Hi, I have a small question. Sometimes, I would like to have a list (enumerate) like: 1. a) c) <- how can I do this? d) It is pretty easy in latex. In Scientific Workplace, I can right click the b) and customize but I do not know how to do this in lyx. Thanks. -- Bo Peng

You can't afaik. Add some ERT with \addtocounter It's quite an odd thing to want to do ;) regards john -- "That's just kitten-eating wrong." - Richard Henderson
comprehensive LyX presentation?
Hi.. does anyone have a comprehensive presentation on LyX that can be used to demonstrate to a group of people the advantages of LyX, bringing out the most important ones (as in ones that increase efficiency over editing Latex directly, and for people new to Latex - a reason to start using Latex)? I'm looking to give a short pitch to a bunch of grad students, some who use Latex pretty extensively (using either direct Latex editing or a front end like Winedit or so) and others who've never used Latex. I looked at the various documents available off the LyX website and something that came very close to this was the doc written by Laura Jackson and Herbert.. but before I work on making a presentation out of this, I'd like to find out if anyone's done this before and if yes, then could you please email me the file? Thanks, nirmal
literate-book doc class
I've been wondering how to get that particular doc class to work? The LaTeXConfig.lyx doc doesn't mention it and I can't seem to find any reference to it anywhere. I'm not even sure what it is. I'm actually looking for document classes which could be used to write literary texts (as opposed to the many classes for factual text provided) and even books. Do such things exist as that is one area my lyx installation does not seem to cover? I should have all the most important tetex packages installed (at least the ones in the Debian system). / http://www.fishpool.com/~setok/
A question
I am a Ph.D. student in the University f Western Ontario and recently I have switched to LaTeX as my word processor and I love it so much. While I was searching to learn things about LaTeX I came to your site and it was very interesting for me. I have tried to download the Lyx for Win32 but it failed after downloading large amount of data. I want to know if there is the possibility to put everything needed to install Lyx on a Win32 machine on a CD and send to me. I would like to have everything (XFree86, CGywin, .) needed on one CD. I have MikeTeX installed on my computer. Any help would be appreciated.
