space between paragraphs

2002-10-23 Thread J.Lauffenburger
A little but enoying presentation problem:

I used the H parameter to specifiy the position of the floatting figures
in my document. Lyx places the figures as I demand it but does not move
the text around it, so I've got some pages with a lot of space between
paragraphs because de figure is to big to appear in this given page. I
looked at the floatingfigure package but it seems that I should
redefine each figure of my document (a big work...). Is that right and
how is it possible to avoid that?

As I remember, you can use \raggedbottom in your Preamble so that paragraphs 
have constant space between them, but you might have a huge space at the 
bottom.

It did EXACTLY what you told it to do. [H] means put it right 
between these two characters, damn it! and it did exactly that.
If you want it to fill in the blank space, you have to let it 
float! Try using [htp]. That means put it right between these 
two characters, if you can. Otherwise, put it at the top of 
the next page, or on a separate page if it is too large. 
That sounds more like what you meant.

You can use sed/perl to do the conversion.
Another option is to add latex commands that will redefine
all floats to be floatingfigure:

\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]

Qt?

2002-10-23 Thread Chris Carlen
Hi:

I know this is a development question, but I'm a user, so I don't want 
to subscribe there and bug them too much.

I just wonder if there is any known considerations going on about using 
Qt in Lyx.  I wonder if this might be a good long-term move?

It would be nice to have consistent user interfaces for all Linux 
programs.  At least Lyx is beyond the old primitive X programs, like 
xdvi, with its goofy scrollbars and all that.

Ok, just a pondering.  Now back to the Lyx tutorial...

Good day!

The font button on the toolbar applies the font changes that were selected in
the dialog. So for the first time, you need to open the dialog and select
typewriter font and press apply, and afterwards you just need to press the

Aaargh! xforms was fine in its time, when all UNIX interfaces were 
pretty ugly and a lot of us were still using B/W monitors, but that time 
has passed.  We have Qt, GTK and XUL now, and changing from one of those 
to xforms is like travelling from a pretty village to an industrial 
estate.  The only thing to be said in favour of using LyX with xforms is 
 the feeling you get when you do the xdvi preview - that something so 
ugly could produce something so beautiful.

It did EXACTLY what you told it to do. [H] means put it right 
between these two characters, damn it! and it did exactly that.
If you want it to fill in the blank space, you have to let it 
float! Try using [htp]. That means put it right between these 
two characters, if you can. Otherwise, put it at the top of 
the next page, or on a separate page if it is too large. 
That sounds more like what you meant.

You can use sed/perl to do the conversion.

all floats to be floatingfigure:

Qt?

2002-10-23 Thread Chris Carlen
Hi:

I know this is a development question, but I'm a user, so I don't want 
to subscribe there and bug them too much.

I just wonder if there is any known considerations going on about using 
Qt in Lyx.  I wonder if this might be a good long-term move?

It would be nice to have consistent user interfaces for all Linux 
programs.  At least Lyx is beyond the old primitive X programs, like 
xdvi, with its goofy scrollbars and all that.

Ok, just a pondering.  Now back to the Lyx tutorial...

Good day!

The font button on the toolbar applies the font changes that were selected in

Aaargh! xforms was fine in its time, when all UNIX interfaces were

has passed.  We have Qt, GTK and XUL now, and changing from one of those 
to xforms is like travelling from a pretty village to an industrial

 the feeling you get when you do the xdvi preview - that something so 
ugly could produce something so beautiful.

As I remember, you can use \raggedbottom in your Preamble so that paragraphs 
have constant space between them, but you might have a huge space at the 
bottom.

It did EXACTLY what you told it to do. [H] means "put it right 
between these two characters, damn it!" and it did exactly that.
If you want it to fill in the blank space, you have to let it 
float! Try using [htp]. That means "put it right between these 
two characters, if you can. Otherwise, put it at the top of 
the next page, or on a separate page if it is too large." 
That sounds more like what you meant.

You can use sed/perl to do the conversion.
Another option is to add latex commands that will redefine
all floats to be floatingfigure:

\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]

Aliases:  www.lyx.org

Also, is there anything after the final slash (index.html, index.php)? 
Sometimes I've seen sites where the bare URL doesn't work (no default), but a 
specified one does.

Thanks for the help!

Edit the file llncs.layout.
Go to the Bibliography style, and change 
  LatexName lyxbibliography
to
  LatexName thebibliography

You can also delete the lines
  Preamble
\newcommand{\lyxbibliography}{\thebibliography{References}%
\renewcommand{\bibitem}[3][!]{\@bibitem{##1}{##2}{##3}}}
  EndPreamble

You need do view->DVI for file1, before viewing file2.



Qt?

2002-10-23 Thread Chris Carlen
Hi:

I know this is a development question, but I'm a user, so I don't want 
to subscribe there and bug them too much.

I just wonder if there is any known considerations going on about using 
Qt in Lyx.  I wonder if this might be a good long-term move?

It would be nice to have consistent user interfaces for all Linux 
programs.  At least Lyx is beyond the old primitive X programs, like 
xdvi, with its goofy scrollbars and all that.

Ok, just a pondering.  Now back to the Lyx tutorial...

Good day!

The font button on the toolbar applies the font changes that were selected in
the dialog. So for the first time, you need to open the dialog and select
typewriter font and press apply, and afterwards you just need to press the
toolbar button.

indentation of subsection

2002-10-23 Thread Remzi Seker
Hi,
I need to have my subsections flushed to the left. I have the following 
definition:

\newlength{\mySpaceUnder}
\newlength{\mySpaceOver}
\setlength{\mySpaceUnder}{0.5ex}  % 4cm as an example ;-)
\setlength{\mySpaceOver}{5ex}   % 3cm as an example

\renewcommand\subsection{\@startsection {subsection}{1}{\z@}%
   {\mySpaceOver}%
   {\mySpaceUnder}%
   {\normalfont\small\mdseries\textit}}

How can I get it flushed to the left? (no indentation in the subsec title)

Thanks

enumerate

2002-10-23 Thread Remzi Seker
Hi
(as you can tell, I am very active now, grad. school gavemy dissertation
back and there are bunch of requested changes!)

How can I have the enumerate environment have the number (the first line)
indented but not the rest? The number must end with a ) as well. For
example:

 1) this is blah blah...
and the text is continuing...
 2) this is the second item
the second item is continuting...
second item still goes on.

Thanks

Yes. Everybody should move to xforms.



Aaargh! xforms was fine in its time, when all UNIX interfaces were 
pretty ugly and a lot of us were still using B/W monitors, but that time 
has passed.  We have Qt, GTK and XUL now, and changing from one of those 
to xforms is like travelling from a pretty village to an industrial 
estate.  The only thing to be said in favour of using LyX with xforms is 
 the feeling you get when you do the xdvi preview - that something so 
ugly could produce something so beautiful.

Anyone interested in a script to create list of keybindings

I'd certainly like a copy.  You might also want to forward this to the
