Hello,
I'm writing a dokument with article style. Now I changed the beforesep and

How can I go back to the default settings for the rest of the document?

Split your doc in chapters, test your transparencies each in turn. If a subpart works alone, it will work as a whole. In contrast to LaTeX and the \includeonly facility, LyX offers a simple mechanism for chapter compilation: - define a documnet model - build each part alone with it - define a master document with the same model and include (as LyX) the chapters: LyX will ignore the preambles of the chapters. The only remaining problem is with the cross-references: you may insert them in ERT to remind you to set them in the last integration step. (AFAR, tehre are hints abou this in the doc). As a side remark, it's logical from the point of view of developers to fail to produce output until the document is bug-free: if there is no ERT at all (or preamble declarations, or local .tex inputs), the compilation should run without errors. From the point of view of an user in a hurry to output a document due yesterday, Lyx could allow (as a preference setting) to produce output even in case of errors, to avoid exporting to latex to do so. Howver, it is possible to circumvent the error showstopper by compiling once with success (with a minimum errror-free document), and then only update: the dvi, ps or pdf produced must be updated in spite of errors. -- Jean-Pierre
Re: How to debug a lyx file: where the error is?
What bug fighting strategy do you recomend in this kind of case? Here is what I do. First! I make a backup copy of the .lyx file! Then I take the original .lyx and start deleting pages. I work backwards, deleting most recently added content. Each time I delete something I try to view-dvi to see if it works.I keep doing the delete and view until I find where the bug is. Once I know where the bug is I make another copy of the original file and only delete that last section or page that is now known to be the problem area. Then I again see if I get a good view.If I do, then I'm sure to know where the bug is. Now I go back to the original file again and keep trying to narrow it down further and further. I have found that the most likely spots of trouble are graphics and tables for me. So sometimes the problem narrows down to a particular cell,minipage, margin note, etc. The best thing I have found to do is to frequently view-DVI as you add content.

Fwd: centering figures
i will try the hack with a new file, but i think i will stick to the FormatParagraph Dialog option with my thesis for now :-) varun
Templates
Hi -- I write scientific papers, occasionally including some mathematics (mainly set theory). I've used word-processors from the era of WordStar, under the CP/M operating system in the early 1980's, to Microsoft Word XP and OpenOffice/StarOffice. I function as an elderly (age 72) computer-user-former-typewriter-user, not a hotshot youngster who has computers eating out of his hand. With a bit of coaching from a young friend -- who solved those install/configure problems that would have floored me -- I recently started using LyX 1.3.3 (mostly in the Windows port, on Windows XP operating system). I've never used TeX, have only glanced at LaTeX, and although I desire to abandon MS Windows althogether, so far I've only dabbled in Linux and Lindows/Linspire. I have spent some time reading the LyX Tutorials. I have a text paper on my easel, and a related, longer, more technical one one which will include some set theory (and will go to an Elsevier journal) next in line. So far, I have found no way that works to modify or abandon the article Layout Document formatting available in native LyX. Piecemeal changes, inflicted via the Layout facility, don't persist in successive versions of the paper, and when they revert, they make the layout (viewed in DVI) look grisly. Once I even found the Elsevier template (elsart.lyx) inside LyX, under Templates. But I have not succeeded in making it WORK while I continue creating my document. Please guide me -- how can I obtain effective help with this problem? Yours, Andy Hilgartner C. A.

Hi -- I write scientific papers, occasionally including some mathematics (mainly set theory). I've used word-processors from the era of WordStar, under the CP/M operating system in the early 1980's, to Microsoft Word XP and OpenOffice/StarOffice. I function as an elderly (age 72) computer-user-former-typewriter-user, not a hotshot youngster who has computers eating out of his hand. With a bit of coaching from a young friend -- who solved those install/configure problems that would have floored me -- I recently started using LyX 1.3.3 (mostly in the Windows port, on Windows XP operating system). I've never used TeX, have only glanced at LaTeX, and although I desire to abandon MS Windows althogether, so far I've only dabbled in Linux and Lindows/Linspire. I have spent some time reading the LyX Tutorials. I have a text paper on my easel, and a related, longer, more technical one one which will include some set theory (and will go to an Elsevier journal) next in line. So far, I have found no way that works to modify or abandon the article Layout Document formatting available in native LyX. Piecemeal changes, inflicted via the Layout facility, don't persist in successive versions of the paper, and when they revert, they make the layout (viewed in DVI) look grisly. Once I even found the Elsevier template (elsart.lyx) inside LyX, under Templates. But I have not succeeded in making it WORK while I continue creating my document. Please guide me -- how can I obtain effective help with this problem? Yours, Andy Hilgartner C. A.

titlespace: back to default settings
Hello,
I'm writing a dokument with "article" style. Now I changed the and
the settings with titlesec for chapters 2-6 using the command:
\titlespacing{\subsection}{0pt}{*2}{*0.7}
How can I go back to the default settings for the rest of the document?
Thanks

HI,
like many others before, I would likt to change the () parethesis into
[] in my citation-refereces in the document. On my Suse 9.0-system runs
LYX 1.3.2 using the natbib-package. I tryed to modify natbib.conf, but
there was no effect at all. I tryed add some \renewcommand to the
preamble --nothing. When I tryed the \usepackage{cite} there appered
so many error-messages, that I finally gave up.
Sorry, but I am not a LINUX-pro yet. Also sorry for my english, my
french is much better (and my german too, of course) .
bye, Jakob.

Re: centering figures
Also is there a way i can set this as a rule for all figures.
AFAIK, unfortunately, not.
As a hack, you can redefine the latex command that insets the graphics
to
include a center.
From Herbert Voss' Tips & Tricks, (http://www.texnik.de)
add the following to your preamble
\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\centering
}{%

Split your doc in chapters, test your transparencies each in turn. If a subpart works alone, it will work as a whole. In contrast to LaTeX and the \includeonly facility, LyX offers a simple mechanism for chapter compilation: - define a documnet model - build each part alone with it - define a master document with the same model and include (as LyX) the chapters: LyX will ignore the preambles of the chapters. The only remaining problem is with the cross-references: you may insert them in ERT to remind you to set them in the last integration step. (AFAR, tehre are hints abou this in the doc). As a side remark, it's logical from the point of view of developers to fail to produce output until the document is bug-free: if there is no ERT at all (or preamble declarations, or local .tex inputs), the compilation should run without errors. >From the point of view of an user in a hurry to output a document due yesterday, Lyx could allow (as a preference setting) to produce output even in case of errors, to avoid exporting to latex to do so. Howver, it is possible to circumvent the error showstopper by compiling once with success (with a minimum errror-free document), and then only update: the dvi, ps or pdf produced must be updated in spite of errors. -- Jean-Pierre
Re: How to debug a lyx file: where the error is?
> > What bug fighting strategy do you recomend in this > kind of case? Here is what I do. First! I make a backup copy of the .lyx file! Then I take the original .lyx and start deleting pages. I work backwards, deleting most recently added content. Each time I delete something I try to view->dvi to see if it works.I keep doing the delete and view until I find where the bug is. Once I know where the bug is I make another copy of the original file and only delete that last section or page that is now known to be the problem area. Then I again see if I get a good view.If I do, then I'm sure to know where the bug is. Now I go back to the original file again and keep trying to narrow it down further and further. I have found that the most likely spots of trouble are graphics and tables for me. So sometimes the problem narrows down to a particular cell,minipage, margin note, etc. The best thing I have found to do is to frequently view->DVI as you add content. Then you won't be surprised with errors at the end of the day. Phil __ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Get it on your mobile phone. http://mobile.yahoo.com/maildemo

Eric,
Others more knowledgeable than I need to give you the answer. I don't know
if modifying the font size and weight -- particularly without putting the
text within braces -- has any effect. I've used fancyhdr without the problem
you report.

png to eps conversion problem
Hi all I am having a strange problem with the conversion of PNG figures to EPS. Latex message says there is no converter. I have installed Imagemagick and reconfigured lyx, but it still did not work. I am using the same lyx version (1.3.4) and OS (Mandrake 10.0) in other computer without problems. What might be wrong here?

verbatim in ERT
Hi,
I have embeded the following in an ERT-block.
\begin{verbatim}
zeile1
zeile2
\end{verbatim}
After exporting it ad LaTeX I get the text with an additional newlines.
\begin{verbatim}
zeile1
zeile2
\end{verbatim}
My question is why? And what can I do ?
thanks

I see this all the time in the .lyx file. I ignore it.

Because lyx translates a newline in ERT to two newlines in latex (you know
this already ;-) )
See the attached lyx file for a solution. You have to use "C-Enter" instead
of "Enter" for simple newlines.

Probably in a subdirectory of /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex or /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex, but before doing anything rash, wander over to http://www.tug.org/tds and learn about the TeX directory structure. Then have a look at the UK TeX FAQ, http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html, especially the section on installing new packages (and the importance of running "texhash"). See also the comp.text.tex FAQ: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/tex-faq. Note that many TeX packages have installation routines that do all or most of the work for you.
