Re: Document class: Unavaliable: curriculum vitae

2005-12-16 Thread Nicolás

Hi!

Be sure you have first installed the latex class/style file(s), as well 
as the appropriate Lyx's layout. Then run reconfigure in Lyx. If the 
document class is still unavailable (as it happens with my own 
installation of Lyx) you may try the following. Open (with a text 
editor) the textclass.lst file that you can find in the share/lyx 
folder (eventually in resources/lyx) and add a line  like this 
(eventually edit an existing entry):


lyx_layout_filename latex_class_name layout_friendly_name true

Where layout_friendly_name should correspond to the name that 
appears in the second line of the layout file, i.e.


\DeclareLaTeXClass{layout_friendly_name}

arbitrary Section numbers

2005-12-16 Thread Nick Kuzmik
 Among other things I like to use Lyx to  create study guides for my math 
courses.  I use  Section/subsection/subsubsection to organize that info in a 
reasonable  fashion.  I also like to use a TOC as some of these study guides  
can get a tad large, and the TOC speads up the studying.
  
  What I've found awkward is that when a create a study guide for say  chapters 
2.5-4.4, and start using Section and such, Lyx automatically  starts at Section 
1
  
  I've tried using Section* and manually titeling my headings, but they they 
don't appear in the TOC.  
  
  What I'm asking is does anybody know of some ERT that will allow me to  
insert a section heading and dispite being the first section on the  page, have 
that be section 4, and still have it show up in the TOC?

You can use ERT to set the chapter, section, subsection etc. counters to 
anything you want.  The command is \setcounter{x}{n} where x is the name 
of the counter (chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, ...) and n 
is a positive integer.  You put the command in ERT prior to the heading 
where you want it to take effect, and you can do so repeatedly if you 
want the heading numbers to skip around.  Two things to keep in mind:


1.  The counter must be defined.  (For instance, the article class does 
not have a chapter counter.)


2.  The heading environment will increment the corresponding counter, so 
you need to make allowances for that.  Suppose you want the first 
heading to be a subsection numbered 2.5.  You would put the following in 
ERT prior to the subsection environment:


 \setcounter{section}{2}\setcounter{subsection}{4}.

The subsection environment will increment the subsection counter to 5 
(but will not change the section counter).

  In pine they're all ragged right.

  The question does come down to artistic license. Most non-fiction,
technical books are typeset with full justification ... and hyphenation. Many
novels are set ragged right justification. I suspect the latter is considered
less formal and better suited to the fiction market. Assuming Steve's short

it's just me, but I see the unevenness and it's distracting.

Re: What do you guys prefer

2005-12-16 Thread Bruce Pourciau
Every book in my office and every book at my home, fiction and 
nonfiction, has justified text, the only exceptions being some 
children's books, in particular the ones with just a sentence or two on 
each page, which are set ragged right. When the text width is very 
narrow or the font size very large -- if the text is set in columns, 
for example, or on a page of advertising -- then ragged right avoids 
the uneven word spacing and reduces the number of hyphens that 
justified text would produce. All monospaced fonts and some unserifed 
faces look better on the page in ragged right, even at normal text 
widths. In general, though, publishers set texts in justified type, 
except in rare cases.


If you decide to set ragged right, make sure your word processor does 
an honest rag, with a fixed word space and no hyphenation. Some 
programs, if left to their own devices, will vary the word spaces and 
hyphenate even in ragged right. Robert Bringhurst, in The Elements of 
Typographic Style, says this makes the text look like a neatly pinched 
piecrust. This approach combines the worst features of justification 
with the worst features of ragged setting, while eliminating the 
principal virtues of both.

You can use ERT to set the chapter, section, subsection etc. counters to 
anything you want.  The command is \setcounter{x}{n} where x is the name 
of the counter (chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, ...) and n 
is a positive integer.  You put the command in ERT prior to the heading 
where you want it to take effect, and you can do so repeatedly if you 
want the heading numbers to skip around.  Two things to keep in mind:


1.  The counter must be defined.  (For instance, the article class does 
not have a chapter counter.)


2.  The heading environment will increment the corresponding counter, so 
you need to make allowances for that.  Suppose you want the first 
heading to be a subsection numbered 2.5.  You would put the following in 
ERT prior to the subsection environment:


 \setcounter{section}{2}\setcounter{subsection}{4}.

The subsection environment will increment the subsection counter to 5 
(but will not change the section counter).

  In pine they're all ragged right.

  The question does come down to artistic license. Most non-fiction,
technical books are typeset with full justification ... and hyphenation. Many
novels are set ragged right justification. I suspect the latter is considered
less formal and better suited to the fiction market. Assuming Steve's short
stories are fiction, keeping the lines uneven would work well.

  One thing that I've noticed since I started typesetting my writing with
LyX/LaTeX is how many books are printed from processed word submittals. The
variation in word and sentence spacing jumps right off the page at me. I
don't see this in a book that has been typeset with the paragraph as the
calculation unit (rather than the line that word processors use). Perhaps
it's just me, but I see the unevenness and it's distracting.

Re: What do you guys prefer

2005-12-16 Thread Bruce Pourciau
Every book in my office and every book at my home, fiction and 
nonfiction, has justified text, the only exceptions being some 
children's books, in particular the ones with just a sentence or two on 
each page, which are set ragged right. When the text width is very 
narrow or the font size very large -- if the text is set in columns, 
for example, or on a page of advertising -- then ragged right avoids 
the uneven word spacing and reduces the number of hyphens that 
justified text would produce. All monospaced fonts and some unserifed 
faces look better on the page in ragged right, even at normal text 
widths. In general, though, publishers set texts in justified type, 
except in rare cases.


If you decide to set ragged right, make sure your word processor does 
an honest rag, with a fixed word space and no hyphenation. Some 
programs, if left to their own devices, will vary the word spaces and 
hyphenate even in ragged right. Robert Bringhurst, in The Elements of 
Typographic Style, says this makes the text look like a neatly pinched 
piecrust. This approach combines the worst features of justification 
with the worst features of ragged setting, while eliminating the 
principal virtues of both.

Hi!

Be sure you have first installed the latex class/style file(s), as well 
as the appropriate Lyx's layout. Then run "reconfigure" in Lyx. If the 
document class is still unavailable (as it happens with my own 
installation of Lyx) you may try the following. Open (with a text 
editor) the textclass.lst file that you can find in the share/lyx 
folder (eventually in resources/lyx) and add a line  like this 
(eventually edit an existing entry):


"lyx_layout_filename" "latex_class_name" "layout_friendly_name" "true"

Where <> should correspond to the name that 
appears in the second line of the layout file, i.e.


\DeclareLaTeXClass{layout_friendly_name}

  What I've found awkward is that when a create a study guide for say  chapters 2.5-4.4, and start using Section and such, Lyx automatically  starts at Section 1
  
  I've tried using Section* and manually titeling my headings, but they they don't appear in the TOC.  
  
  What I'm asking is does anybody know of some ERT that will allow me to  insert a section heading and dispite being the first section on the  page, have that be section 4, and still have it show up in the TOC?
  
  Am I trying to have my cake and eat it too?


You can use ERT to set the chapter, section, subsection etc. counters to 
anything you want.  The command is \setcounter{x}{n} where x is the name 
of the counter (chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, ...) and n 
is a positive integer.  You put the command in ERT prior to the heading 
where you want it to take effect, and you can do so repeatedly if you 
want the heading numbers to skip around.  Two things to keep in mind:


1.  The counter must be defined.  (For instance, the article class does 
not have a chapter counter.)


2.  The heading environment will increment the corresponding counter, so 
you need to make allowances for that.  Suppose you want the first 
heading to be a subsection numbered 2.5.  You would put the following in 
ERT prior to the subsection environment:


 \setcounter{section}{2}\setcounter{subsection}{4}.

The subsection environment will increment the subsection counter to 5 
(but will not change the section counter).

Hello,

I attach a simple LyX file that does the trick. The general pattern is:

 \setcounter{Some}{Value}

Where Some is the environment you want to change (section, equation ...)

Thanks Geoff, I'll change it right now. Of course it's still solved, 
because you can do subscript the same way as superscript. Thanks 
for pointing this out, or my book would have had a rather

Can you use the current LyX program to write in Japanese? I heard
something about a CJK version but I was wondering if there was any
easy way to change the encoding in the window and turn it into unicode
or something.

I think that justified right creates the appearance of professionalism.
Studies have shown that it is a little easier to read ragged right. 
It is a book of short stories intended for what audience?


I was thinking about of friend of mine who has been a computer
technician for over 15 years. He is very successful because he has
a high mechanical aptitude and a computer is a machine. He can
also fix a furnace or a washing machine. Critical thinking is also an
excellent tool and serves well in other aspects of life. But, I agree with 
and respect the observation of the 30th President, Calvin Coolidge,

and so if you are ever looking for a good quote for a book, I suggest

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will 
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. 
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education 
will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and

It's a matter of personal taste. 

To my eyes, left and right justification looks superb, while ragged
right looks amateurish.

There are exceptions of course. If you have a preponderance of very long
words (unlikely in short stories), then you my end up with excessive and
annoying hyphenation.

  In pine they're all ragged right.

  The question does come down to artistic license. Most non-fiction,
technical books are typeset with full justification ... and hyphenation. Many
novels are set ragged right justification. I suspect the latter is considered
less formal and better suited to the fiction market. Assuming Steve's short
stories are fiction, keeping the lines uneven would work well.

  One thing that I've noticed since I started typesetting my writing with
LyX/LaTeX is how many books are printed from processed word submittals. The
variation in word and sentence spacing jumps right off the page at me. I
don't see this in a book that has been typeset with the paragraph as the
calculation unit (rather than the line that word processors use). Perhaps
it's just me, but I see the unevenness and it's distracting.

Re: What do you guys prefer

2005-12-16 Thread Bruce Pourciau
Every book in my office and every book at my home, fiction and 
nonfiction, has justified text, the only exceptions being some 
children's books, in particular the ones with just a sentence or two on 
each page, which are set ragged right. When the text width is very 
narrow or the font size very large -- if the text is set in columns, 
for example, or on a page of advertising -- then ragged right avoids 
the uneven word spacing and reduces the number of hyphens that 
justified text would produce. All monospaced fonts and some unserifed 
faces look better on the page in ragged right, even at normal text 
widths. In general, though, publishers set texts in justified type, 
except in rare cases.


If you decide to set ragged right, make sure your word processor does 
an "honest rag," with a fixed word space and no hyphenation. Some 
programs, if left to their own devices, will vary the word spaces and 
hyphenate even in ragged right. Robert Bringhurst, in The Elements of 
Typographic Style, says this makes the "text look like a neatly pinched 
piecrust. This approach combines the worst features of justification 
with the worst features of ragged setting, while eliminating the 
principal virtues of both."

Nope, not yet. The Big Plan (TM) for the next development series after LyX
1.4 is released is to use unicode internally. I'd expect that LyX-CJK
would be merged with the official LyX at that point, much as the official
LyX eventually swallowed up (and improved upon) the LyX/Win port.

So, for now, you'll have to use LyX-CJK.

I don't like the spaces that appear in the paragraph import with LyX.
"the  world is  full   of educatedderelicts" I think it may be due to
the line being shorter (not indented) with import by line.
