Page numbering and empty pages

[Christian Richter]

Hello,
I am writing a document with Lyx 1.4.3 using documentclass: book
(koma-script, double pages).

At the end of the document there is a list of figures, bibliography and glossar.

The problem is that for example the list of figures needs only one
page so that there is an empty page before the bibliography starts,
which I want to remove. How can I do this?
Also there is no page number on the first page of the list of figures.
There is only a page number on the second page, which is empty. How
can I put the page number on the first oage of the list of figures?

I think this problem is related to the style of the chapter, as it is
the same if a new chapter starts (a double page is cleared and there
is no page number on the first page of the new chapter).

Thanks for your help.

Christian

Decrease vertical space between subfigures

[Bernhard Gollas]

Is there a way of decreasing the vertical space between subfigures 
(above and below subfigurecaptions) in a float? I am using LyX 1.4.2.

Re: Headings disappear when using Bembo

[Johannes Knaus]

Hello again,

Well, italics, smallcaps and so on are installed.
I've tried some hacking of the preamble and this works now (the first  
to lines do the trick):


\setkomafont{pagehead}{%
\usekomafont{pagenumber}\itshape}
\usepackage{microtype, fixltx2e, mparhack}
\usepackage[bookmarksnumbered]{hyperref}
%\usepackage[bookmarks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{qtree}
\usepackage{arydshln}
%\usepackage{colortbl}% does not work together with arydshln
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{pifont}
\usepackage{covington}
%\usepackage{mathptmx}% a better Times
\usepackage{bembo}
\usepackage[scaled]{bfrutiger}

The strange thing is: If I put \slshape instead of \itshape in the  
second line, headings disappear. So maybe this was the problem (Does  
scrbook use \slshape for headings?).
But if I change a normal word in the text in Lyx via the Textstyle  
Menu, I can apply slanted to the word and this works nicely with  
Bembo. I have also printed a word with italic applied next to a  
word with slanted and they do not differ. Does Lyx use italics when  
there is no slanted typeface available? An why doesn't Lyx do this  
also for the headings?


Anyway, it works now, thanks to Jürgen for putting me on the right  
track.

Just a guess: are the headings in a shape that is not installed

(e.g. italic)?

 Yes, but if you want that functionality from a native Windows app you

 It works if you use cygwin apps. Native windows apps know nothing about
 named pipes. However, there's a workaround. Windows provides file change
 notifications, so you can tell a native app to use a given file as the
 lyxpipe. Then you monitor such file with a small program, and when the app
 writes to the file you receive a notification. So you simply copy what was
 written to the file to the real lyxpipe using a cygwin program (a bash
 script, for example).
 
 I wrote such watcher utility by modifying the example provided at
 http://www.relisoft.com/win32/watcher.html

There's QFileSystemWatcher.

I have LyX 1.4.4 on a 600Mhz iBook and I can open and view a pdf of a 25

On windows on an athlon64 2800+ here creating a pdf from a 91 page document

There seem to be two issues you're describing. One is the hang when  
opening a large document. Since that occurred only once (as you  
describe it), it's hard to know what the cause is. (I regularly open  
a 240-page document [without any figures] on my macbook, and it takes  
2 seconds.) Part of the issue may stem from your having LyX display  
the graphics; doing this requires that LyX convert the graphics one- 
by-one to a format it is able to display, and this may take a while.


The other issue -- taking a long time view a pdf of your document --  
is not an issue with LyX but rather with LaTeX: LyX hands off  
typesetting tasks to LaTeX, which then runs in the background. My 240- 
page document takes about 23 seconds to typeset (and that's with  
bibliography and index). Documents with graphics will naturally take  
longer, as the graphics may need to be converted into a proper format  
to produce the pdf. From what I can tell, typesetting in LaTeX on Mac  
is generally speedy.


There are some issues with speed on Mac, but these have to do with  
screen redraws when typing or navigating. Most of these have been  
overcome, and you shouldn't notice them with a macbook. (I do notice  
them on a 466 MHz iBook, but even then I wouldn't say it's a real  
problem.)

Re: Bibliography problems

[Julio Rojas]

Thanks. If you mean using apalike (\usepackage{apalike}), with
apacite as the bibliographic style  in a document with plain
article style, LyX shows another list of errors, in pairs like the
following:

Undefined control sequence
\bibitem{Gil-Aluja1987}

You can't use '\relax' after \the
\bibitem{Gil-Aluja1987}

This may be what I'm looking for, but how can I solve these errors?

Yes (if you use headings at least). You have the italic shape installed,
but Bembo (probably) does not feature a slanted shape (or you don't have
it). Your LaTeX Log file probably tells you that some shapes are missing.

 But if I change a normal word in the text in Lyx via the Textstyle

 Bembo. I have also printed a word with italic applied next to a

I think the font metric files fall back to italics if slanted is not
available (I don't have Bembo, but I see this with Minion). I have no idea
why this does not work within headings.

On the other hand: slanted shape is BAD anyway ;-) 
Stick with italics, if possible.

Bennett,

You bring up a point I was planning to ask. I have also noticed a slowness
of screen redraws when typing or navigating on my 600Mhz iBook that was not
noticeable with LyX 1.3.7 but is noticeable with LyX 1.4.4. Specifically
when typing within figure floats and equations.

My question is: Is there a way to speed this up? i.e., turning off instant
preview, etc. or is it finally getting time to upgrade the old iBook.

Not that would explain an extreme slowdown. They're both (currently)

It is the result of significant changes in how LyX 1.4.x works as  
opposed to 1.3.x. The problem is worse when typing in insets -- boxes  
of text that can be opened or closed, like ERT boxes, footnotes, LyX  
notes, etc.


Is there anything that can be done? ... Not really. Smaller window  
sizes may help, but that's not a tradeoff I'm willing to make.


You might try out the beta of LyX-1.5 and let us know how performance  
of that compares and whether it's acceptable. A now somewhat outdated  
universal version can be found here:

Help with fancyhdr

[LB]

Hello

I have more of a latex question but I'm hoping that somebody would know the 
answer.


I'm using Lyx 1.4.3 on Windows XP. The document I'm writing is in Book 
class.


I'm writing a large document with a few chapters, sections and appendices. 
What I would like is to have a chapter name, section name or appendix name 
appear on the top of the page.
For example if the current page is from Chapter 1 Title of chapter 1 then 
on the top of the pages in this chapter I'd like to see 1 Title of chapter 
1. As soon the reader reaches Section 1.1 Title of section 1.1 the header 
would change to 1.1 Title of section 1.1
I'd like appendices to be handled like chapters. BTW to create appendix I 
have in ERT \appendix and then all subsequent chapters become appendices.


I found the following code:

\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%
\markboth{\chaptername
\ \thechapter.\ #1}{}}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\fancyhead[RE]{\textit{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}}
\fancyhead[LO]{\textit{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{ %
\fancyhf{} % remove everything
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % remove lines as well
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}}

which does put the section names in the header but it does not put chapter 
names nor appendix names in the header.  How can I modify this to include 
chapter names in the headers?


Thank you very much
Leo

I have a document written in the book class. I want a white blank page after
the title page. So that the table of contents isn't printed on the back of the

philosofy and I know how to fix it outside lyx. But I think it could be also
done in lyx. I have tried \newpage \cleardoublepage pagebreak..nothing works.

what about using two-sided document? do document -- settings and in

which does put the section names in the header but it does not put
chapter names nor appendix names in the header.  How can I modify this
to include chapter names in the headers?

Thank you very much

 You bring up a point I was planning to ask. I have also noticed a
 slowness
 of screen redraws when typing or navigating on my 600Mhz iBook that
 was not
 noticeable with LyX 1.3.7 but is noticeable with LyX 1.4.4.
 Specifically
 when typing within figure floats and equations.
 
 My question is: Is there a way to speed this up? i.e., turning off
 instant
 preview, etc. or is it finally getting time to upgrade the old iBook.
 
 It is the result of significant changes in how LyX 1.4.x works as
 opposed to 1.3.x. The problem is worse when typing in insets -- boxes
 of text that can be opened or closed, like ERT boxes, footnotes, LyX
 notes, etc.
 
 Is there anything that can be done? ... Not really. Smaller window
 sizes may help, but that's not a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
 
 You might try out the beta of LyX-1.5 and let us know how performance
 of that compares and whether it's acceptable. A now somewhat outdated
 universal version can be found here:
 
 http://edisk.fandm.edu/bennett.helm/LyX/LyX-1.5.0svn-Mac-universal.zip

I actually have 1.5.0beta1 and 1.5.0svn and this slowness is identical to
1.4.4. Interestingly though there is no slowness issue with 1.5.0beta1
under Ubuntu Linux on the same machine.

Not when simply opening the document within LyX, of course. (Perhaps  
that's an explanation for the typesetting slowdown; if so, then it

Bibliography formatting

[Lyx Physicist]

Hello, I am using Lyx 1.4 for Mac and am using BibDesk as a gui frontend
to create a bibtex file for my bibliography(the reason is I just started
using lyx/LaTex and know nothing about Bibtex).  Is there any way to
change the default citation method 
ex:  This is from my book[1]

to having the citation in superscript form?  I would like the 1 (or
whatever number the citation corresponds to) to be a superscript and
then have the numbering of entries in the bibliography be similar
so in the bib it would look like 
1. Me, Book from library, 1999
2. Blah, Blah 

instead of using 
[1] Me, Book from Library

Thanks, 
Charles

Re: Bibliography formatting

[Brian Kidd]

Charles,

This can be changed by adding two lines to your preamble. First, add  
the super option to the natbib package. Make sure to change your  
citation style to numerical under the Bibliography setting otherwise  
LyX will spit out the warning about having conflicting natbib  
definitions. Second, add the renewcommand for biblabel to give the  
number period format. Note that there are a number of other natbib  
options (e.g. comma, sortcompress, etc.) and bib commands (e.g.  
bibfont, bibsep) to play with. I think the natbib manual might have  
some examples. Otherwise you should be able to search on the web for  
some examples.

Page numbering and empty pages

[Christian Richter]

Hello,
I am writing a document with Lyx 1.4.3 using documentclass: book
(koma-script, double pages).

At the end of the document there is a list of figures, bibliography and glossar.

The problem is that for example the list of figures needs only one
page so that there is an empty page before the bibliography starts,
which I want to remove. How can I do this?
Also there is no page number on the first page of the list of figures.
There is only a page number on the second page, which is empty. How
can I put the page number on the first oage of the list of figures?

I think this problem is related to the style of the chapter, as it is
the same if a new chapter starts (a double page is cleared and there
is no page number on the first page of the new chapter).

Thanks for your help.

Christian

Re: Headings disappear when using Bembo

[Johannes Knaus]

Hello again,

Well, italics, smallcaps and so on are installed.
I've tried some hacking of the preamble and this works now (the first  
to lines do the trick):


\setkomafont{pagehead}{%
\usekomafont{pagenumber}\itshape}
\usepackage{microtype, fixltx2e, mparhack}
\usepackage[bookmarksnumbered]{hyperref}
%\usepackage[bookmarks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{qtree}
\usepackage{arydshln}
%\usepackage{colortbl}% does not work together with arydshln
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{pifont}
\usepackage{covington}
%\usepackage{mathptmx}% a better Times
\usepackage{bembo}
\usepackage[scaled]{bfrutiger}

The strange thing is: If I put \slshape instead of \itshape in the  
second line, headings disappear. So maybe this was the problem (Does  
scrbook use \slshape for headings?).
But if I change a normal word in the text in Lyx via the Textstyle  
Menu, I can apply slanted to the word and this works nicely with  
Bembo. I have also printed a word with italic applied next to a  
word with slanted and they do not differ. Does Lyx use italics when  
there is no slanted typeface available? An why doesn't Lyx do this  
also for the headings?


Anyway, it works now, thanks to Jürgen for putting me on the right  
track.


Johannes

There seem to be two issues you're describing. One is the hang when  
opening a large document. Since that occurred only once (as you  
describe it), it's hard to know what the cause is. (I regularly open  
a 240-page document [without any figures] on my macbook, and it takes  
2 seconds.) Part of the issue may stem from your having LyX display  
the graphics; doing this requires that LyX convert the graphics one- 
by-one to a format it is able to display, and this may take a while.


The other issue -- taking a long time view a pdf of your document --  
is not an issue with LyX but rather with LaTeX: LyX hands off  
typesetting tasks to LaTeX, which then runs in the background. My 240- 
page document takes about 23 seconds to typeset (and that's with  
bibliography and index). Documents with graphics will naturally take  
longer, as the graphics may need to be converted into a proper format  
to produce the pdf. From what I can tell, typesetting in LaTeX on Mac  
is generally speedy.


There are some issues with speed on Mac, but these have to do with  
screen redraws when typing or navigating. Most of these have been  
overcome, and you shouldn't notice them with a macbook. (I do notice  
them on a 466 MHz iBook, but even then I wouldn't say it's a real  
problem.)

Thanks. If you mean using apalike (\usepackage{apalike}), with
apacite as the bibliographic style  in a document with plain
article style, LyX shows another list of errors, in pairs like the
following:

Undefined control sequence
\bibitem{Gil-Aluja1987}

You can't use '\relax' after \the
\bibitem{Gil-Aluja1987}

This may be what I'm looking for, but how can I solve these errors?

Re: Headings disappear when using Bembo

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

Johannes Knaus wrote:

 The strange thing is: If I put \slshape instead of \itshape in the

 scrbook use \slshape for headings?).

Yes (if you use headings at least). You have the italic shape installed,
but Bembo (probably) does not feature a slanted shape (or you don't have
it). Your LaTeX Log file probably tells you that some shapes are missing.

 But if I change a normal word in the text in Lyx via the Textstyle  
 Menu, I can apply slanted to the word and this works nicely with  
 Bembo. I have also printed a word with italic applied next to a  
 word with slanted and they do not differ. Does Lyx use italics when  
 there is no slanted typeface available?

I think the font metric files fall back to italics if slanted is not
available (I don't have Bembo, but I see this with Minion). I have no idea
why this does not work within headings.

On the other hand: slanted shape is BAD anyway ;-) 
Stick with italics, if possible.

Sorry, if you want to use apacite as the bibstyle, try \usepackage{apacite}.

 There seem to be two issues you're describing. One is the hang when
 opening a large document. Since that occurred only once (as you
 describe it), it's hard to know what the cause is. (I regularly open
 a 240-page document [without any figures] on my macbook, and it takes
 2 seconds.) Part of the issue may stem from your having LyX display
 the graphics; doing this requires that LyX convert the graphics one-
 by-one to a format it is able to display, and this may take a while.
 
 The other issue -- taking a long time view a pdf of your document --
 is not an issue with LyX but rather with LaTeX: LyX hands off
 typesetting tasks to LaTeX, which then runs in the background. My 240-
 page document takes about 23 seconds to typeset (and that's with
 bibliography and index). Documents with graphics will naturally take
 longer, as the graphics may need to be converted into a proper format
 to produce the pdf. From what I can tell, typesetting in LaTeX on Mac
 is generally speedy.
 
 There are some issues with speed on Mac, but these have to do with
 screen redraws when typing or navigating. Most of these have been
 overcome, and you shouldn't notice them with a macbook. (I do notice
 them on a 466 MHz iBook, but even then I wouldn't say it's a real
 problem.)
 
 Bennett

Bennett,

You bring up a point I was planning to ask. I have also noticed a slowness
of screen redraws when typing or navigating on my 600Mhz iBook that was not
noticeable with LyX 1.3.7 but is noticeable with LyX 1.4.4. Specifically
when typing within figure floats and equations.

My question is: Is there a way to speed this up? i.e., turning off instant
preview, etc. or is it finally getting time to upgrade the old iBook.

Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury

Not that would explain an extreme slowdown. They're both (currently)

It is the result of significant changes in how LyX 1.4.x works as

Help with fancyhdr

[LB]

Hello

I have more of a latex question but I'm hoping that somebody would know the 
answer.


I'm using Lyx 1.4.3 on Windows XP. The document I'm writing is in Book 
class.


I'm writing a large document with a few chapters, sections and appendices. 
What I would like is to have a chapter name, section name or appendix name 
appear on the top of the page.
For example if the current page is from Chapter 1 Title of chapter 1 then 
on the top of the pages in this chapter I'd like to see 1 Title of chapter 
1. As soon the reader reaches Section 1.1 Title of section 1.1 the header 
would change to 1.1 Title of section 1.1
I'd like appendices to be handled like chapters. BTW to create appendix I 
have in ERT \appendix and then all subsequent chapters become appendices.


I found the following code:

\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%
\markboth{\chaptername
\ \thechapter.\ #1}{}}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\fancyhead[RE]{\textit{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}}
\fancyhead[LO]{\textit{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{ %
\fancyhf{} % remove everything
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % remove lines as well
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}}

which does put the section names in the header but it does not put chapter 
names nor appendix names in the header.  How can I modify this to include 
chapter names in the headers?


Thank you very much
Leo

Re: how to insert a blank page

[Ares]

-- Messaggio inoltrato --
From: Lennart [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a document written in the book class. I want a white blank page after
the title page. So that the table of contents isn't printed on the back of the
title page when I print it double sided.  I know it's against the lyx
philosofy and I know how to fix it outside lyx. But I think it could be also
done in lyx. I have tried \newpage \cleardoublepage pagebreak..nothing works.
How do I insert a blank page?


what about using two-sided document? do document -- settings and in
the Page Layout panel check the two-sided document box.

  It works if you use cygwin apps. Native windows apps know nothing about
  named pipes. However, there's a workaround. Windows provides file change
  notifications, so you can tell a native app to use a given file as the
  lyxpipe. Then you monitor such file with a small program, and when the app
  writes to the file you receive a notification. So you simply copy what was
  written to the file to the real lyxpipe using a cygwin program (a bash
  script, for example).
  
  I wrote such watcher utility by modifying the example provided at

 There's QFileSystemWatcher.

That's for Qt 4.2 or higher, I think. I wonder how do they accomplish
that on *nix as, if I remember correctly, select() doesn't work on
plain files. Maybe they use something similar to fam on linux, but

Not when simply opening the document within LyX, of course. (Perhaps  
that's an explanation for the typesetting slowdown; if so, then it  
should happen only once and be much faster on subsequent runs.)

Bibliography formatting

[Lyx Physicist]

Hello, I am using Lyx 1.4 for Mac and am using BibDesk as a gui frontend
to create a bibtex file for my bibliography(the reason is I just started
using lyx/LaTex and know nothing about Bibtex).  Is there any way to
change the default citation method 
ex:  This is from my book[1]

to having the citation in superscript form?  I would like the 1 (or
whatever number the citation corresponds to) to be a superscript and
then have the numbering of entries in the bibliography be similar
so in the bib it would look like 
1. Me, Book from library, 1999
2. Blah, Blah 

instead of using 
[1] Me, Book from Library

Thanks,

Re: Bibliography formatting

[Brian Kidd]

Charles,

This can be changed by adding two lines to your preamble. First, add  
the super option to the natbib package. Make sure to change your  
citation style to numerical under the Bibliography setting otherwise  
LyX will spit out the warning about having conflicting natbib  
definitions. Second, add the renewcommand for biblabel to give the  
number period format. Note that there are a number of other natbib  
options (e.g. comma, sortcompress, etc.) and bib commands (e.g.  
bibfont, bibsep) to play with. I think the natbib manual might have  
some examples. Otherwise you should be able to search on the web for  
some examples.

You need to uncheck Natbib altogether and choose Default (numerical).

Page numbering and empty pages

[Christian Richter]

Hello,
I am writing a document with Lyx 1.4.3 using documentclass: book
(koma-script, double pages).

At the end of the document there is a list of figures, bibliography and glossar.

The problem is that for example the list of figures needs only one
page so that there is an empty page before the bibliography starts,
which I want to remove. How can I do this?
Also there is no page number on the first page of the list of figures.
There is only a page number on the second page, which is empty. How
can I put the page number on the first oage of the list of figures?

I think this problem is related to the style of the chapter, as it is
the same if a new chapter starts (a double page is cleared and there
is no page number on the first page of the new chapter).

Thanks for your help.

Christian

Re: Headings disappear when using Bembo

[Johannes Knaus]

Hello again,

Well, italics, smallcaps and so on are installed.
I've tried some hacking of the preamble and this works now (the first  
to lines do the trick):


\setkomafont{pagehead}{%
\usekomafont{pagenumber}\itshape}
\usepackage{microtype, fixltx2e, mparhack}
\usepackage[bookmarksnumbered]{hyperref}
%\usepackage[bookmarks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{qtree}
\usepackage{arydshln}
%\usepackage{colortbl}% does not work together with arydshln
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{pifont}
\usepackage{covington}
%\usepackage{mathptmx}% a better Times
\usepackage{bembo}
\usepackage[scaled]{bfrutiger}

The strange thing is: If I put \slshape instead of \itshape in the  
second line, headings disappear. So maybe this was the problem (Does  
scrbook use \slshape for headings?).
But if I change a normal word in the text in Lyx via the Textstyle  
Menu, I can apply "slanted" to the word and this works nicely with  
Bembo. I have also printed a word with "italic" applied next to a  
word with "slanted" and they do not differ. Does Lyx use italics when  
there is no slanted typeface available? An why doesn't Lyx do this  
also for the headings?


Anyway, it works now, thanks to Jürgen for putting me on the right  
track.


Johannes

Just a guess: are the headings in a shape that is not installed

(e.g. italic)?

The problem with the APA class is that it is not the one I would like
to use. I would like to use the "plain" class with the "APA"
bibliographic style.

There seem to be two issues you're describing. One is the "hang" when  
opening a large document. Since that occurred only once (as you  
describe it), it's hard to know what the cause is. (I regularly open  
a 240-page document [without any figures] on my macbook, and it takes  
2 seconds.) Part of the issue may stem from your having LyX display  
the graphics; doing this requires that LyX convert the graphics one- 
by-one to a format it is able to display, and this may take a while.


The other issue -- taking a long time view a pdf of your document --  
is not an issue with LyX but rather with LaTeX: LyX hands off  
typesetting tasks to LaTeX, which then runs in the background. My 240- 
page document takes about 23 seconds to typeset (and that's with  
bibliography and index). Documents with graphics will naturally take  
longer, as the graphics may need to be converted into a proper format  
to produce the pdf. From what I can tell, typesetting in LaTeX on Mac  
is generally speedy.


There are some issues with speed on Mac, but these have to do with  
screen redraws when typing or navigating. Most of these have been  
overcome, and you shouldn't notice them with a macbook. (I do notice  
them on a 466 MHz iBook, but even then I wouldn't say it's a real  
problem.)

Re: Bibliography problems

[Julio Rojas]

Thanks. If you mean using apalike (\usepackage{apalike}), with
"apacite" as the bibliographic style  in a document with "plain"
article style, LyX shows another list of errors, in pairs like the
following:

Undefined control sequence
\bibitem{Gil-Aluja1987}

You can't use '\relax' after \the
\bibitem{Gil-Aluja1987}

This may be what I'm looking for, but how can I solve these errors?

Yes (if you use "headings" at least). You have the italic shape installed,
but Bembo (probably) does not feature a slanted shape (or you don't have
it). Your LaTeX Log file probably tells you that some shapes are missing.

I think the font metric files fall back to italics if slanted is not
available (I don't have Bembo, but I see this with Minion). I have no idea
why this does not work within headings.

On the other hand: slanted shape is BAD anyway ;-) 
Stick with italics, if possible.

Bennett,

You bring up a point I was planning to ask. I have also noticed a slowness
of screen redraws when typing or navigating on my 600Mhz iBook that was not
noticeable with LyX 1.3.7 but is noticeable with LyX 1.4.4. Specifically
when typing within figure floats and equations.

My question is: Is there a way to speed this up? i.e., turning off instant
preview, etc. or is it finally getting time to upgrade the old iBook.

Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury

It is the result of significant changes in how LyX 1.4.x works as

Help with fancyhdr

[LB]

Hello

I have more of a latex question but I'm hoping that somebody would know the 
answer.


I'm using Lyx 1.4.3 on Windows XP. The document I'm writing is in Book 
class.


I'm writing a large document with a few chapters, sections and appendices. 
What I would like is to have a chapter name, section name or appendix name 
appear on the top of the page.
For example if the current page is from "Chapter 1 Title of chapter 1" then 
on the top of the pages in this chapter I'd like to see "1 Title of chapter 
1". As soon the reader reaches "Section 1.1 Title of section 1.1" the header 
would change to "1.1 Title of section 1.1"
I'd like appendices to be handled like chapters. BTW to create appendix I 
have in ERT \appendix and then all subsequent chapters become appendices.


I found the following code:

\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%
\markboth{\chaptername
\ \thechapter.\ #1}{}}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\fancyhead[RE]{\textit{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}}
\fancyhead[LO]{\textit{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{ %
\fancyhf{} % remove everything
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % remove lines as well
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}}

which does put the section names in the header but it does not put chapter 
names nor appendix names in the header.  How can I modify this to include 
chapter names in the headers?


Thank you very much
Leo

So you probably want either:*
*\markboth{\chaptername\ \thechapter.\ #1}{\chaptername\
\thechapter.\ #1}}
if you're doing double-sided, or:
\markright{\chaptername\ \thechapter.\ #1}
if you're not.

Re: how to insert a blank page

[Ares]

-- Messaggio inoltrato --
From: Lennart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I have a document written in the book class. I want a white blank page after
the title page. So that the table of contents isn't printed on the back of the
title page when I print it double sided.  I know it's against the lyx
philosofy and I know how to fix it outside lyx. But I think it could be also
done in lyx. I have tried \newpage \cleardoublepage pagebreak..nothing works.
How do I insert a blank page?


what about using two-sided document? do document --> settings and in
the Page Layout panel check the two-sided document box.

That's for Qt 4.2 or higher, I think. I wonder how do they accomplish
that on *nix as, if I remember correctly, select() doesn't work on
plain files. Maybe they use something similar to fam on linux, but
on solaris, for example?

I actually have 1.5.0beta1 and 1.5.0svn and this "slowness" is identical to
1.4.4. Interestingly though there is no "slowness" issue with 1.5.0beta1
under Ubuntu Linux on the same machine.

There seem to be two issues you're describing. One is the "hang" when
opening a large document. Since that occurred only once (as you
describe it), it's hard to know what the cause is.

Not when simply opening the document within LyX, of course. (Perhaps  
that's an explanation for the typesetting slowdown; if so, then it  
should happen only once and be much faster on subsequent runs.)

Bibliography formatting

[Lyx Physicist]

Hello, I am using Lyx 1.4 for Mac and am using BibDesk as a gui frontend
to create a bibtex file for my bibliography(the reason is I just started
using lyx/LaTex and know nothing about Bibtex).  Is there any way to
change the default citation method 
ex:  This is from my book[1]

to having the citation in superscript form?  I would like the "1" (or
whatever number the citation corresponds to) to be a superscript and
then have the numbering of entries in the bibliography be similar
so in the bib it would look like 
1. Me, Book from library, 1999
2. Blah, Blah 

instead of using 
[1] Me, Book from Library

Thanks, 
Charles

Re: Bibliography formatting

[Brian Kidd]

Charles,

This can be changed by adding two lines to your preamble. First, add  
the "super" option to the natbib package. Make sure to change your  
citation style to numerical under the Bibliography setting otherwise  
LyX will spit out the warning about having conflicting natbib  
definitions. Second, add the renewcommand for biblabel to give the  
number period format. Note that there are a number of other natbib  
options (e.g. comma, sort, etc.) and bib commands (e.g.  
bibfont, bibsep) to play with. I think the natbib manual might have  
some examples. Otherwise you should be able to search on the web for  
some examples.

Hi Brian,

The package natbib has already been loaded with options:   [numbers]
There has now been an attempt to load it with options   [super] Adding

So I tried to add that into the options of the documentclass(which is

You need to uncheck "Natbib" altogether and choose "Default (numerical)".
