fancyhdr font size
Is there any way to control this?
I've put '\lhead{\small{foo}}' into the preamble, but I would like the
header font to be smaller. So, is there a command lower than '\small'? I've
tried '\smaller' but LyX doesn't like that. Or another way to accomplish
this.
Thanks,

Re: [announce] LyX150svn from 01-02-2007 for Windows - lyx2lyx solution
- I cannot open the documentation, LyX complains about wrong file
versions that lyx2lyx cannot convert.
The problem is that lyx2lyx doesn't convert the files from format 256 to
format 258. As workaround you can manually change the first line in the
LyX-file source.
(Sometimes everything goes wrong.)
The file "LyX.py" was not updated in my build system for an unknown reason so I shipped an outdated
version. Please replace the one on your LyX 1.5svn system by the attached one.
Sorry again, I was in a hurry today so that I only tested if the installation process works and LyX
starts.

float placement refinements
Hi, I write documents with a lot of figures, so it is not unusual that LyX (latex) have to put more than two figures in one page. (I use tpb in the float placement box). The only figures pages, with two or more figures, are OK for me. But when LyX(latex) puts two figures in a page with text the results are not so good. IMHO, in this case, two figures + text, LyX(latex) put the figures too close, and the caption of the upper one can be confused with a part of the lowest one. Anyway I don't like the result. Is there any way to say to LyX not to put more that one figure in a page with text?. Or alternatively, is there any way to say to LyX to set apart the two figures? Cheers Ramon

Hi,
Excellent suggestion. However, it still has the disadvantage that no bib
references appear if one prints out a single chapter.
I am looking for some way to conditionally embed the bibliography into the
child documents. If used (printed) "stand alone", a child should have a
complete bibliography section. If embedded into the master, the
bibliographies of the children should be ignored.
I have been trying to achieve something like that for a couple of hours,
but failed - probably because of my lacking knowledge of fundamental LaTex
concepts. Here is the idea:
1) Define a variable \master in the preamble of the master document before
including the common preamble:
\def\master
\input{preamble.tex}
2) Define a new \ifnomaster in the common preamble that tests for \master
being defined or not
% common preamble, input'ed into all children and the master
\newif\ifnomaster
\ifx\master\undefined
\nomastertrue
\else
\nomasterfalse
\fi
3) Use ERT boxes to conditionally include the bibliography at the end of
each child:
??ERT[\ifnomaster]
[BibTeX Generated Bibliography]
ERT[\fi]
This fails so far, probably because my \newif and \def are erroneous.
(It is kind of funny: While there are many LaTeX books and online resources
that explain how to do fancy things using the xyz package, I always
struggle when I try to find a good documentation of such basic things.)
Please help :-)

AFAIK you need some extra packages for the first option, but the
second one
is easy. Don't include any bibliography in child documents, only include
one in the master.
If you want to enter a new citation in a child you need to open the child
from the master doc, otherwise LyX will not know which .bib file is used.
To make it easier to insert citatiosn (if you still need to), you can
insert a bibliography within each child document, but place it inside a
*comment*. That way LaTeX won't see it, but LyX will know what
.bib-files to scan for when showing you the available citations.

Re: Culmus Hebrew fonts
After some more reading in forums I found (and understood, or not) the
following:
The babel package contains the font encodings and metrics and definitions
needed to use the Culmus fonts, but not the fonts themselves, which today
are readily availabe for linux and Windows.
Latex CANNOT have font definitions by encodings, it can only have ONE
encoding, and ONE font family at any given time, and you can change them, of
course, but there is no memory for the font used in the encoding. The Hebrew
font families define font substitutions for the English letters using the
cmr fonts, so when you define the hebrew font family, your English will be
in computer modern. It isn't a bad font :).
I think the way to go about it using lyx (and leaving latex's problem as
they are) is to define the \language english and \language hebrew macros to
include a font definition as well, if the default fonts aren't used, but
that is something I don't have the time to begin to learn how to do, and it
may not be the best solution.
Nikud is nice to have, but it isn't needed in every day life unless you
write the Bible or childrens' books or poetry, or quote from such sources.
Lyx already knows how to include vowel points (see Sivan Toledo's page in
tau.ac.il) - I don't know by which packages, but it works, although
sometimes the signs are somewhat misplaced. The Nikud package you mentioned
promises that the vowel points are not misplaced, but I don't know how the
nikud works in lyx, so I don't know what is the cost of replacing or
changing lyx to use this package.
As for the Culmus fonts, they are already incorporated through
ivritex/babel, so using Nikud won't change anything with respect to that.
Can we have a "feature request" regarding font definitions for different
encodings in lyx (and not latex)?

Ho to write my own paragraph layout or how to change "LyX-Code"
Hi List, i'm looking for an code layout (environment) for LyX, wich automaticly inserts line numbers and a "table of contents" for all listings. If it's possible to configure this layout to look a bit like old "endless paper" (one line with white background, one with green) this would be exactly what i'm looking for, but that would be a goody. If there is a tutorial how to write layouts, a RTFM with a link will be enough. I knwo i can use the LaTeX "listing package", but ERT's are not really comfortable. -- Mit freundlichem GrussYours sincerely Roland Schmitz

Re: Culmus Hebrew fonts
Hi!
You should also check out this package: http://nikud.berlios.de/ . It is
mainly for using nikud, but as a side effect it also uses the culmus
fonts. It's also really simple to use --- after the initial setup
(explained on the site), all you need to do is use the culmus package
instead of babel. I've used it a little bit here and there, but not very
much --- I'd be happy to hear how this compares to the solution
described below. Please keep us posted!
It seems to me that perhaps LyX should use this package (or something
similar) by default, since the default ivritex fonts are not great ---
especially when it comes to bold or italics... How would one go about
doing something like that? (not that I have time to do that at the
moment, but maybe someone else could...?)

I actually got it working
I feel I am stating the obvious to the Hebrew users who already KNOW the
answer and didn't have time to respond.
There is a package called "hebfont.sty", written by Boris Lavva, which has
created macros to use all the hebrew fonts (culmus, and the old default
ones) as
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\text..}{\fontfamily{somefontname}\selectfont}
The package was apparently installed in Windows by the culmus.exe pointed to
by the lyx wiki page on setting up Hebrew. I have seen that this package is
a part of ivritex as well.
He lists there all of the following culmus fonts by their names: david,
frank, aharoni, drugulin, yad, ellinia, miriam, nachlieli, as well as the
old fonts which came with previous latex distributions.
These \selectfont commands get cancelled every time a language change is
made from Hebrew to English or math, so they are good for a few words, a
paragraph or so, but I found an explanation how to change the default font
of the entire document and other font related commands here:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rf10/pstex/latexcommands.htm
so
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ellinia} will change all Hebrew in the document to
the culmus font Ellinia (for example).
It isn't exactly what I want since it also changes back the English font to
its default cmr (It was lmodren), so I will actually have to look how to
change only the left to right parts.
There is much more variety in the culmus fonts, and they look better.
Thanks for everyone who replied on and off the group.

No. Your test file does not include the figure. It includes a file named ../../../LyX. If I change that to read TestFig.fig, and if I save TestFig.fig in the same directory as Test.lyx, then it works just fine here. Georg

Copy this file to LyX's \bin folder: http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/LyXWinInstaller/PDFViewWin.exe and rename it to PDFViewWin8.exe 2. Start LyX 3. Open the User's Guide, go there to e.g. section 3 and add a charater By the way, I noticed that when choosing the Introduction instead of the User's Guide, the images were not found. 4. Press the toolbar button for viewing PDF PDFViewWin8.exe crashed at this point. Same if I launch it as a standalone. Adobe reader 8 should then be opened showing your file 5. delete the just added character and press the view PDF button again Adobe reader should not crash and show the beginning of the file. In Adobe reader you can now turn back to the last shown PDF document part using the feature to go to the last view (via the corresponding button or the menu). Does this work as I described it? thanks and regards Uwe Sorry for the bad news, Best regards, Olivier
