Section* layouts do not appear in the table of contents, and LaTeX
does not offer a way of specifying an optional caption in these cases.
Therefore there is not much we can do about it.
Bruce My problem is typesetting an old-fashioned book where, for the
Bruce their pains, the authors- translators have chosen to head each
Bruce separate article along the lines of Article XXIV - The old
Bruce system of wars of position and the modern system of marches
Bruce and the Roman numerals run sequentially (regardless of chapter)

You can use normal Section and redefine at LaTeX level how sections
appear. Something like this in the preamble
\usepackage{remreset}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{Article \Roman{section}}

will do what you want with normal Section layout, although it will not
show on screen (in 1.4.0 it will be possible to see the right thing on
screen if you make a (short) layout file).
Certainly solved my problem.

Aspell Troubles with the WinInstaller, 3 May 2006
Hi,
I've just installed Lyx for the first time on this machine, using the
installer from:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
for Lyx 1.4.1
Both before and after installing the Aspell language pack (for English),
Spell-checking is greyed-out in Tools-Preferences-Spellchecker. I've
tried a few of workarounds:
- Adding paths to the Path Prefix (C:\Aspell, C:\Aspell\lib,
C:\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60)
- Changing lyxrc.defaults manually ('\spell_command aspell' and
'\spell_command aspell')
- Uninstalling Aspell and reinstalling from a seperate installer
(AspellData-0.60.4.exe)
and yes, I've been choosing reconfigure after every change and
restarted Lyx.
In any configuration, spell checking works on long documents with
headings etc..., but will not work for short documents (a few sentences
only), sometimes (I haven't figured out what the conditions are) it will
highlight a word but not open the spellchecking window. It always skips
the first misspelled word in the document. Even though the default
language is set to British, it complains about colour, and tries to
put 'z's in words like Realise (Is this a known Aspell issue?). Again
reiterating - it seems to be completely unavailable from the preferences
menu.
I'm a little unsure of the fact that C:/Aspell contains only the
uninstaller executable and the lib directory - shouldn't some other
files belong in there? The Lib directory contains nothing but the
aspell-0.60 directory. Only in C:\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60 do all the
files and dictionary files exist. This is as per all the default
options. I've tried copying and moving the files up and down the
hierarchy, but not necessarily for every combination of the things I've
tried above.
It's driving me absolutely nuts. Anyone have a guess at what might be
wrong?
Thanks,
Peter.

I am not sure if Aspell will work which requires installation in C:\Aspell. Maybe you can install Aspell on a machine where you have admin rights. Then zip the file up and unzip it on your laptop's C:\Aspell without running the Aspell Installer and dictionary. The reconfigure LyX; it might see C:\aspell. I don't think Msys writes to the registry in order to install. You will need to download these other programs separately, and it is better to do this before installing LyX. The alternative, the complete WinLyXInstaller provides the programs so you don't have to download them but you must have admin privileges. So use the url I gave you which is to the official installer. The 1.4.1 official version is a bit problematic. Joost will soon release another version of LyX installer. Maybe that will not require admin rights, the details are not yet available. It is possible to use LyX without Miktex, if you want. Regards, Stephen
Comment in Lyx .4.1 for windows results in space on DVI output
Hallo All I have installed 1.4.1 on my windows box at work. Everything works well. After some searching I found the comment format under INSERTNOTEComment. . This is weird but fine. I have had two problems. 1. It is now necessary to highlight an entire section to be commented. Once I got an error due to this ( a problem with to many }s). 2. My bigger problem is that there is a whitespace footprint (something like an open line ) in the DVI output. Can this be fixed? regards christiaan

LyX versus TeXnicCenter
Hi, I am very pleased that there is finally a version of LyX running under Windows. I have been using the GUI TeXnicCenter in Win2000 over MikTeX. My questions are: 1) can I install both LyX and TeXnicCenter on the same operating system (Win2000), or should I first unistall TeXnicCenter ? Do the 2 GUI's live peacefully together, or not ? 2) My main reason for asking question #1 is that both LyX and TeXnicCenter will be using the underlying MikTeX and, perhaps, they need to configure it differently.

But on page 3 the header flips over the paper side. Adjusting the paragraph title is not the desired solution. Is there a possibility to make LyX split the header, so the second part is below the first headerline? Kind regards, Jeroen I hope you mean that adjusting the paragraph title where it occurs in the text is not desired (but shortening it in the header is acceptable). If so, the trick is to position the cursor at the very beginning of the title, type optional-insert in the minibuffer (which opens an inset labeled 'opt'), then type a short title into the inset. The short title is used in the header. /Paul Thanks Paul, Here's my next question. In my latest book, Twenty Eight Tales of Troubleshooting, the Part title appears in the header of the verso (even) page, and the chapter title appears on the recto (odd) header. Two of my other books have the chapter title on the recto header and the section title on the verso header. Can I use your technique to shorten the header appearance of part and chapter titles too, and if so, would the shortened titles appear in the table of contents? On a similar note, my book Manager's Guide to Technical Troubleshooting uses lines of different thicknesses to give the reader cues about the hierarchy. Sections are preceded by a black block almost as tall (thick) as a capital letter. Subsections are preceded by a thick black line about half the height of a lower case letter. Subsubsections are preceded by a hairline. Paragraphs and subparagraps are just the Book document class defaults. All three lines are the same length -- only the thickness (height) varies. In my opinion it really works out well. If anyone wants to see the LaTeX code, I'll post it.

Peter Bowyer wrote: I've installed the MiKTeX package 'thesis' but it is not showing up in the layouts I can select (LyX 1.3.7). Do I need to do something more to enable it? You need a layout file to let LyX know how to handle the package. But to write a thesis I can recommend memoir and the koma-script classes. Some of my collegues have written their thesises with the class book (koma-script). These classes should be installed on your Windows setup. If not use MiKTeX's package manager to install them; then reconfigure LyX and they should now appear in the list of available classes. regards Uwe

I believe this package is discussed in the /LaTeX Companion/. I think
something close to what you want to do is also done in titlesec.tex,
though, from which the documentation was generated, and I always find
that it's easiest in these cases to work from examples. You might try
something like:
\renewpagestyle{headings}[OPTIONAL]{
\headrule
\sethead{\chaptertitle}{}{\sectiontitle}
\setfoot{}{\usepage}{}
}
I don't know which order you wanted the chapter and section title in, so
you may have to change that. Use \sethead* to have the order switch on
even and odd pages. Where I've put OPTIONAL, you can put any commands
you want to apply to both the header and the footer, e.g., font commands
like: \small\sffamily. If you want to change the font just locally, you
can put that in the \sethead and \setfoot commands, e.g.:
\sethead{\bfseries\chaptertitle}{}{\slshape\sectiontitle}
Since we're renewed the headings page style, that's the one you'll want
to use. Then you will not get this kind of heading on plain pages. If
you want it there, too, renew plain and use that.

On a similar note, my book Manager's Guide to Technical Troubleshooting uses lines of different thicknesses to give the reader cues about the hierarchy. Sections are preceded by a black block almost as tall (thick) as a capital letter. Subsections are preceded by a thick black line about half the height of a lower case letter. Subsubsections are preceded by a hairline. Paragraphs and subparagraps are just the Book document class defaults. All three lines are the same length -- only the thickness (height) varies. In my opinion it really works out well. If anyone wants to see the LaTeX code, I'll post it.

Using documentclass thesis with lyx?
Hi, I've installed the MiKTeX package 'thesis' but it is not showing up in the layouts I can select (LyX 1.3.7). Do I need to do something more to enable it? Thanks, Peter

You need a layout file to let LyX know how to handle the package. But to write a thesis I can recommend memoir and the koma-script classes. Some of my collegues have written their thesises with the class book (koma-script). These classes should be installed on your Windows setup. If not use MiKTeX's package manager to install them; then reconfigure LyX and they should now appear in the list of available classes. regards Uwe

I believe this package is discussed in the /LaTeX Companion/. I think
something close to what you want to do is also done in titlesec.tex,
though, from which the documentation was generated, and I always find
that it's easiest in these cases to work from examples. You might try
something like:
\renewpagestyle{headings}[OPTIONAL]{
\headrule
\sethead{\chaptertitle}{}{\sectiontitle}
\setfoot{}{\usepage}{}
}
I don't know which order you wanted the chapter and section title in, so
you may have to change that. Use \sethead* to have the order switch on
even and odd pages. Where I've put OPTIONAL, you can put any commands
you want to apply to both the header and the footer, e.g., font commands
like: \small\sffamily. If you want to change the font just locally, you
can put that in the \sethead and \setfoot commands, e.g.:
\sethead{\bfseries\chaptertitle}{}{\slshape\sectiontitle}
Since we're renewed the headings page style, that's the one you'll want
to use. Then you will not get this kind of heading on plain pages. If
you want it there, too, renew plain and use that.

Re: Custom enumeration
You may find this response from Jean Marc of assistance.
Check the archive for more detail.
"Section* layouts do not appear in the table of contents, and LaTeX
does not offer a way of specifying an optional caption in these cases.
Therefore there is not much we can do about it.

You can use normal Section and redefine at LaTeX level how sections
appear. Something like this in the preamble
\usepackage{remreset}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{Article \Roman{section}}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
will do what you want with normal Section layout, although it will not
show on screen (in 1.4.0 it will be possible to see the right thing on
screen if you make a (short) layout file)."

Aspell Troubles with the WinInstaller, 3 May 2006
Hi,
I've just installed Lyx for the first time on this machine, using the
installer from:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
for Lyx 1.4.1
Both before and after installing the Aspell language pack (for English),
Spell-checking is greyed-out in Tools->Preferences->Spellchecker. I've
tried a few of workarounds:
- Adding paths to the Path Prefix (C:\Aspell, C:\Aspell\lib,
C:\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60)
- Changing lyxrc.defaults manually ('\spell_command aspell' and
'\spell_command "aspell"')
- Uninstalling Aspell and reinstalling from a seperate installer
(AspellData-0.60.4.exe)
and yes, I've been choosing "reconfigure" after every change and
restarted Lyx.
In any configuration, spell checking works on long documents with
headings etc..., but will not work for short documents (a few sentences
only), sometimes (I haven't figured out what the conditions are) it will
highlight a word but not open the spellchecking window. It always skips
the first misspelled word in the document. Even though the default
language is set to British, it complains about "colour", and tries to
put 'z's in words like "Realise" (Is this a known Aspell issue?). Again
reiterating - it seems to be completely unavailable from the preferences
menu.
I'm a little unsure of the fact that C:/Aspell contains only the
uninstaller executable and the "lib" directory - shouldn't some other
files belong in there? The Lib directory contains nothing but the
"aspell-0.60" directory. Only in C:\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60 do all the
files and dictionary files exist. This is as per all the default
options. I've tried copying and moving the files up and down the
hierarchy, but not necessarily for every combination of the things I've
tried above.
It's driving me absolutely nuts. Anyone have a guess at what might be
wrong?
Thanks,
Peter.

AW: lys installation on Windows Xp
Thanks for your answer! OK, so I will go through the procedure as described by you. Another question: Do I need ghostscript even if I am planning to view the documents in a PDF-viewer.

Install for yourself only not everyone. You will need the earlier ghostscript version 8.14 and the ghostscript viewer that goes with it. They will give some error messages about not writing to the registry or "failed" but they will still work. Use Irfanview instead of ImageMagic for your image converter. I am not sure if Aspell will work which requires installation in C:\Aspell. Maybe you can install Aspell on a machine where you have admin rights. Then zip the file up and unzip it on your laptop's C:\Aspell without running the Aspell Installer and dictionary. The reconfigure LyX; it might see C:\aspell. I don't think Msys writes to the registry in order to install. You will need to download these other programs separately, and it is better to do this before installing LyX. The alternative, the complete WinLyXInstaller provides the programs so you don't have to download them but you must have admin privileges. So use the url I gave you which is to the "official" installer. The 1.4.1 official version is a bit problematic. Joost will soon release another version of LyX installer. Maybe that will not require admin rights, the details are not yet available. It is possible to use LyX without Miktex, if you want. Regards, Stephen
Comment in Lyx .4.1 for windows results in space on DVI output
Hallo All I have installed 1.4.1 on my windows box at work. Everything works well. After some searching I found the comment format under INSERT>NOTE>Comment. . This is weird but fine. I have had two problems. 1. It is now necessary to highlight an entire section to be commented. Once I got an error due to this ( a problem with to many }s). 2. My bigger problem is that there is a whitespace footprint (something like an open line ) in the DVI output. Can this be fixed? regards christiaan

I think ghostscript is required for some conversions so I doubt that you can have a "full" installation without ghostscript. I've never not had ghostscript installed so I can't say for sure.

You will be pleased to know that Bo Peng implemented this already in the development version that will lead to LyX 1.5.0. As a workaround for now you can start LyX with the -geometry option (possibly from a script) so that it starts with a useful size. Georg

This is already done in 1.5svn.

LyX versus TeXnicCenter
Hi, I am very pleased that there is finally a version of LyX running under Windows. I have been using the GUI TeXnicCenter in Win2000 over MikTeX. My questions are: 1) can I install both LyX and TeXnicCenter on the same operating system (Win2000), or should I first unistall TeXnicCenter ? Do the 2 GUI's live peacefully together, or not ? 2) My main reason for asking question #1 is that both LyX and TeXnicCenter will be using the underlying MikTeX and, perhaps, they need to configure it differently.
