Module which ENCLOSES text in brackets

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I created myself a TODO module, which adds text in green to the text
(below). it works nicely,, but I would like to have brackests arount the
TODO: and the text, i.e., at the moment I get:

(TODO:) I still heve to do this

I want:

(TODO: I still have to do this)

How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Rainer

The ~ is a protected space, and the test which is entered in the TODO field,
is added AFTER the LatexName is executed.

Well, it's three in fact: first two windows open and close quickly, then 
one opens and stays for quite a while. That's probably the one most 
people complain about. this one opens also if you use lyxLauncher.exe or 
lyx.exe.


If you change the lyx.bat start command with /MIN and/or /B, the 2 
first windows will actually stay longer (IOW don't do that ;-) ).


Note that it's unclear to me why such a minor cosmetic problem who lead 
to prefer one installer over the other. Uwe's installer has the 
advantage of being out sometimes up to 1 week before the other one. 
That's quite a significant bonus if you are waiting for the new version 
because you have a nasty problem (crash, etc.).

PS: I also remember that there is a message about installing PyWin or 
something with a similar name to avoid the console. Could that be a 
difference between installers ?

How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX? These are truetype fonts 
metrically identical to Microsoft's main fonts:

Liberation Mono - Courier New
Liberation Sans - Arial
Liberation Serif - Times New Roman

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts)

Thanks

I save it in  ~/.lyx/scripts/ but it is not executed.

Do I have to set it somewhere to execute the script? Do I have to set the
copier to execute this script somwehere under FileFormats?

Or are the scripts in ~/.lyx/scripts automatically executed?

Yes, you have to set the copier under Converters, for whichever 
converter you want to use it with. Note that you will want to use the 
variables mentioned in Customization 3.2 to get the arguments you need.


By the way, I think you will also need to do the actual copying of the 
file from the temporary directory to the destination directory yourself. 
If you use a special copier, then LyX does not do it for you.

Re: How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX?

[Rob Oakes]

Hi Steve, 

I think that you have one of two options.  The first, of course is to
install the fonts onto your system in the normal way and then use XeTeX
to compile the document.  If you choose this route, you can assign the
font through the use of the \setfont macros: \setmainfont{font name},
\setsansfont{font name}, \setmonofont{font name}

If using LyX 1.6.5, you will need to set up XeLaTeX to work with LyX.
There is information on how to do this on the wiki.  If using LyX SVN,
it already has support built-in.  Just go to Document Settings - Output
and enable Use XeTeX.

Additional information about XeLaTex and font support is available at:

http://existentialtype.net/2008/07/12/fonts-in-latex-part-one-xelatex/

The alternative is to see if someone has created a font definition file.
You can also create your own.  Additional information about the process
is available from the excellent blog, Existential Type:

http://existentialtype.net/2008/07/12/fonts-in-latex-part-two-pdftex-and-opentype/

I personally prefer to go the XeLaTeX route.  Since moving over to LyX
SVN, I use it to compile more or less everything.  While there are some
packages it doesn't support (like microtype), I find that it does a good
job with just about everything.  I've even been able to use some of the
more exotic modules (like Sweave) and classes (like Tufte) without
problems.  For an example output, see:

http://www.oak-tree.us/stuff/LyX/Sweave-Opportunity.pdf

(Aside: In the example above, using xetex allowed me to use the same
typefaces that Tufte uses -- Bembo and Gil Sans -- without creating a
font definition file for them -- which ranks right alongside major oral
surgery on my priority list.)

Cheers,

Rob Oakes

First, I install the au.cl class in Miktex.  The class is installed

So take the amsar.layout  (the au.class is a derived of the amsart.cl).
I change the \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (AMS)}  by  
\DeclareLaTeXClass[au]{AlgUniversalis (AU)}.

I record a new layout called alguniv.layout
In LyX   run Reconfigure, closed and open Lyx. Open a new document.
So, I go  Document =  Settings -  Document Class  and when I select 
the new class is not available.



Do you see your layout there at all? Or is it marked unavailable?


If you don't see it at all, then where did you put your new layout 
file? You might try saving it as au.layout, and deleting the [au] 
optional argument. This is easier.


If it's marked unavailable, then the problem is that the configure.py 
script is not finding the class for some reason. Try to reconfigure 
again.


Richard





It is marked unavailable, in a computer with Windows 7, and other with 
Windows Vista.


But, in a computer with Windows XP no problem (is the same layout, put 
in the \layouts)

Maybe it's a problem of seven and vista

XeTeX with LyX

[Yago]

Hi to all.

I have XeTeX installed and builded in my MikTex installation but I cannot add a 
new pdf converter in accord with this instructions from the wiki.

Setting up LyX to work with Xetex
This assumes you have Xetex installed. On my texlive installation, it was 
installed automatically. Try running 'xetex' or 'xelatex' to check if its 
there. If not, install it (depends on your LaTeX distribution). 

First of all, you need to add a PDF (xetex) File Format and LyX-Xetex 
conversion: 

Under Tools-Preferences-File handling-File formats, click New and 

[x] check Document Format 
[x] check Vector Graphic Format 
Short Name: pdf4 
Extension: pdf 
Viewer: xdg-open
(Windows users should use pdfview. Alternatively, use any viewer that worked 
for you under File Format PDF (pdflatex).) 

Under Converters (just above the File formats you just clicked on), click 
on add and set 

From format: LaTeX (pdflatex) 
To format: PDF (xelatex) 
Converter: xelatex $$i 
Extra flag: latex 
[x] check Enabled 

There's no problem for me with the first part, but in my Converters window I 
cannot select the option Add that's she's in gray.

I don't get it to work - whatever I try. The copier (cp.lyx) in
~/.lyx/scriots reads:

##
#!/bin/bash
FROM=$1
TO=$2
TODIR=`dirname $TO`

svn info $FROM  $TODIR/svninfo.txt
cp $FROM $TO
###

Now which copier should I define? I want to have it preferably for all
output formats, for View as well as Export. But I would be happy if it works
for pdf (pdflatex).

So I thought, I define the copier for PDF (pdflatex) as:

cp.lyx $$i $$o

First observation: I have to specify the whole path, i.e:

~/.lyx/scripts/cp.lyx $$i $$o

Second: it works only when I use Export - and then this is the final step,
i.e. AFTER the pdf is created (obviously) and the svn info can not be
included in the document.

What I would need, is a way of executing the command svn info
TheLyxFile.lyx  TheTMPDIR/svninfo.txt BEFORE LaTeX is compiling, so that
the file can be included in the final document.

Any tips appreciated,

Rainer

Re: svninfo packages and similar in LyX

[Julien Rioux]

Sure, try to start with the minimal attached file

at the prompt, do:

svn add svn.lyx
svn propset svn:keywords Id svn.lyx
svn commit
svn update

then open the file with lyx and view-dvi (or whatever)

it works here

pkg/42449: pkgsrc-built LyX uses unusable font on Red Hat (fwd)

Anyone recognize this problem in this bug report?

Using wrong fonts for menu and introductory graphic.

Page numbering for subpages

[Dainis Zegners]

Hello to everybody!

I have the following problem to solve in Lyx:

I have a couple of graphics in floats that each fill a whole page. I want that
these pages are inserted as subpages, that is with numberings 40a, 40b, etc.

The reason is that I am writting a thesis with a maximum page limit of 40, but I
am allowed to count pages with graphs only as subpages.

I have already searched the internet for some hours but have not found a
solution yet. I found a latex package called subfigure , but some how this did
not work together with the float environment.

I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance ! 

Dainis

P.S. I am using Lyx 1.6.2 on a Ubuntu 9.0.4 system.

   

change latex export

[Sergio Celani]

Hi

I new user of Lyx.Before I used Scientific Workplace.


I would like to change the way as Lyx export some  latex files.

For example, take the ams article. When Lyx export to latex put

\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}

\newtheorem{cor}[thm]{Corollary}

but I would like
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[section]
\newtheorem{corollary}[theorem]{Corollary}

Where I can change these parameters ?
thanks in advance


Cordially

The easiest way, probably, is to copy the theorems-ams.inc file to your 
local LyX directory (e.g., $HOME/.lyx/layouts/, on Linux) and then make 
the modifications you need in that file. It'll be clear, if you look at 
the file, where to make them. The disadvantage to this method is that 
you're making the change globally. A more flexible way is to create a 
module of your own that will override the existing declarations, and 
then you can use it when you want to do so. Have a look at the 
theorems-sec.module to get a sense for how this is done and at Chapter 5 
of the Customization manual for all the details.

Well, it's three in fact: first two windows open and close quickly, then

lyx.exe.


If you change the lyx.bat start command with /MIN and/or /B, the 2 
first windows will actually stay longer (IOW don't do that ;-) ).


Note that it's unclear to me why such a minor cosmetic problem who lead 
to prefer one installer over the other. Uwe's installer has the 
advantage of being out sometimes up to 1 week before the other one. 
That's quite a significant bonus if you are waiting for the new version

How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX? These are truetype fonts 
metrically identical to Microsoft's main fonts:

Liberation Mono - Courier New
Liberation Sans - Arial
Liberation Serif - Times New Roman

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts)

Thanks

I save it in  ~/.lyx/scripts/ but it is not executed.

Do I have to set it somewhere to execute the script? Do I have to set the

Or are the scripts in ~/.lyx/scripts automatically executed?

Yes, you have to set the copier under Converters, for whichever 
converter you want to use it with. Note that you will want to use the 
variables mentioned in Customization 3.2 to get the arguments you need.


By the way, I think you will also need to do the actual copying of the

If you use a special copier, then LyX does not do it for you.

Re: How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX?

[Rob Oakes]

Hi Steve, 

I think that you have one of two options.  The first, of course is to
install the fonts onto your system in the normal way and then use XeTeX
to compile the document.  If you choose this route, you can assign the
font through the use of the \setfont macros: \setmainfont{font name},
\setsansfont{font name}, \setmonofont{font name}

If using LyX 1.6.5, you will need to set up XeLaTeX to work with LyX.
There is information on how to do this on the wiki.  If using LyX SVN,
it already has support built-in.  Just go to Document Settings - Output
and enable Use XeTeX.

Additional information about XeLaTex and font support is available at:

http://existentialtype.net/2008/07/12/fonts-in-latex-part-one-xelatex/

The alternative is to see if someone has created a font definition file.
You can also create your own.  Additional information about the process
is available from the excellent blog, Existential Type:

http://existentialtype.net/2008/07/12/fonts-in-latex-part-two-pdftex-and-opentype/

I personally prefer to go the XeLaTeX route.  Since moving over to LyX
SVN, I use it to compile more or less everything.  While there are some
packages it doesn't support (like microtype), I find that it does a good
job with just about everything.  I've even been able to use some of the
more exotic modules (like Sweave) and classes (like Tufte) without
problems.  For an example output, see:

http://www.oak-tree.us/stuff/LyX/Sweave-Opportunity.pdf

(Aside: In the example above, using xetex allowed me to use the same
typefaces that Tufte uses -- Bembo and Gil Sans -- without creating a
font definition file for them -- which ranks right alongside major oral
surgery on my priority list.)

Cheers,

Rob Oakes

I assume you have saved this as au.cls? I don't know for sure, but LyX 
may want to see the standard .cls extension.


First, I install the au.cl class in Miktex.  The class is installed 
correctly because I have checked with Texnicenter.

So take the amsar.layout  (the au.class is a derived of the amsart.cl).
I change the \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (AMS)}  by  
\DeclareLaTeXClass[au]{AlgUniversalis (AU)}.

I record a new layout called alguniv.layout
In LyX   run Reconfigure, closed and open Lyx. Open a new document.
So, I go  Document =  Settings -  Document Class  and when I select 
the new class is not available.



Do you see your layout there at all? Or is it marked unavailable?


If you don't see it at all, then where did you put your new layout 
file? You might try saving it as au.layout, and deleting the [au] 
optional argument. This is easier.


If it's marked unavailable, then the problem is that the configure.py 
script is not finding the class for some reason. Try to reconfigure 
again.


Richard





It is marked unavailable, in a computer with Windows 7, and other with 
Windows Vista.


But, in a computer with Windows XP no problem (is the same layout, put 
in the \layouts)

Maybe it's a problem of seven and vista

I change the \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (AMS)}  by  
\DeclareLaTeXClass[au]{AlgUniversalis (AU)}.

I record a new layout called alguniv.layout
In LyX   run Reconfigure, closed and open Lyx. Open a new document.
So, I go  Document =  Settings -  Document Class  and when I 
select the new class is not available.



Do you see your layout there at all? Or is it marked unavailable?


If you don't see it at all, then where did you put your new layout 
file? You might try saving it as au.layout, and deleting the [au] 
optional argument. This is easier.


If it's marked unavailable, then the problem is that the configure.py 
script is not finding the class for some reason. Try to reconfigure 
again.


Richard





It is marked unavailable, in a computer with Windows 7, and other with 
Windows Vista.


But, in a computer with Windows XP no problem (is the same layout, put 
in the \layouts)

Maybe it's a problem of seven and vista.

OK, so the problem is that for some reason LyX isn't finding the 
document class. Try it with as au.layout and no optional argument.

XeTeX with LyX

[Yago]

Hi to all.

I have XeTeX installed and builded in my MikTex installation but I cannot add a 
new pdf converter in accord with this instructions from the wiki.

Setting up LyX to work with Xetex
This assumes you have Xetex installed. On my texlive installation, it was 
installed automatically. Try running 'xetex' or 'xelatex' to check if its 
there. If not, install it (depends on your LaTeX distribution). 

First of all, you need to add a PDF (xetex) File Format and LyX-Xetex 
conversion: 

Under Tools-Preferences-File handling-File formats, click New and 

[x] check Document Format 
[x] check Vector Graphic Format 
Short Name: pdf4 
Extension: pdf 
Viewer: xdg-open
(Windows users should use pdfview. Alternatively, use any viewer that worked 
for you under File Format PDF (pdflatex).) 

Under Converters (just above the File formats you just clicked on), click 
on add and set 

From format: LaTeX (pdflatex) 
To format: PDF (xelatex) 
Converter: xelatex $$i 
Extra flag: latex 
[x] check Enabled 

There's no problem for me with the first part, but in my Converters window I 
cannot select the option Add that's she's in gray.

  Yes, you have to set the copier under Converters, for whichever
 converter


 you want to use it with. Note that you will want to use the variables
 mentioned in Customization 3.2 to get the arguments you need.



 Do I have to set it under Copiers File Formats, or under Converters? I
 thought if I specify it under File Formats - Copier, it should work.



 Sorry, yes, under Formats.


I don't get it to work - whatever I try. The copier (cp.lyx) in
~/.lyx/scriots reads:

##
#!/bin/bash
FROM=$1
TO=$2
TODIR=`dirname $TO`

svn info $FROM  $TODIR/svninfo.txt
cp $FROM $TO
###

Now which copier should I define? I want to have it preferably for all
output formats, for View as well as Export. But I would be happy if it works
for pdf (pdflatex).

So I thought, I define the copier for PDF (pdflatex) as:

cp.lyx $$i $$o

First observation: I have to specify the whole path, i.e:

~/.lyx/scripts/cp.lyx $$i $$o

Second: it works only when I use Export - and then this is the final step,
i.e. AFTER the pdf is created (obviously) and the svn info can not be
included in the document.

What I would need, is a way of executing the command svn info
TheLyxFile.lyx  TheTMPDIR/svninfo.txt BEFORE LaTeX is compiling, so that
the file can be included in the final document.

Any tips appreciated,

Rainer

Page numbering for subpages

[Dainis Zegners]

Hello to everybody!

I have the following problem to solve in Lyx:

I have a couple of graphics in floats that each fill a whole page. I want that
these pages are inserted as subpages, that is with numberings 40a, 40b, etc.

The reason is that I am writting a thesis with a maximum page limit of 40, but I
am allowed to count pages with graphs only as subpages.

I have already searched the internet for some hours but have not found a
solution yet. I found a latex package called subfigure , but some how this did
not work together with the float environment.

I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance ! 

Dainis

P.S. I am using Lyx 1.6.2 on a Ubuntu 9.0.4 system.

   

change latex export

[Sergio Celani]

Hi

I new user of Lyx.Before I used Scientific Workplace.


I would like to change the way as Lyx export some  latex files.

For example, take the ams article. When Lyx export to latex put

\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}

\newtheorem{cor}[thm]{Corollary}

but I would like
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[section]
\newtheorem{corollary}[theorem]{Corollary}

Where I can change these parameters ?
thanks in advance

The easiest way, probably, is to copy the theorems-ams.inc file to your 
local LyX directory (e.g., $HOME/.lyx/layouts/, on Linux) and then make 
the modifications you need in that file. It'll be clear, if you look at 
the file, where to make them. The disadvantage to this method is that 
you're making the change globally. A more flexible way is to create a 
module of your own that will override the existing declarations, and 
then you can use it when you want to do so. Have a look at the 
theorems-sec.module to get a sense for how this is done and at Chapter 5 
of the Customization manual for all the details.

The line:

textcolor{green}{\textbf(TODO):~}\textcolor{green}

I think it should be (move the bracket):

textcolor{green}{\textbf(TODO:~)}\textcolor{green}

Thanks - but this produces:

(TODO:  )I still have to do this

The ~ is a protected space, and the test which is entered in the TODO field,
is added AFTER the LatexName is executed.

Well, it's three in fact: first two windows open and close quickly, then

If you change the lyx.bat start command with "/MIN" and/or "/B", the 2

Note that it's unclear to me why such a minor cosmetic problem who lead

That's quite a significant bonus if you are waiting for the new version

Re: Module which ENCLOSES text in brackets

This has not been tested but try something along the lines of:

  

  

InsetLayout TODO
   LyXType   custom
   LabelString   TODO
   LatexType command
   LatexName
myOwnTodo
  

  



  

 Decorationclassic
   LabelFont

\newcommand{\myOwnTodo}[1]{\textcolor{green}{\textbf{TODO:~}
#1}\textcolor{green}

  

 EndPreamble
End
  

  



i.e. do the following:  
1. Declare your own command in the Preamble section to do exactly what
you need, e.g. \myOwnTodo
2. Make that the LatexName in the layout, i.e. "LatexName myOwnTodo"

Thanks - that's it. It is working. For reference: below find the TODO
module:


#\DeclareLyXModule{TODO}
#DescriptionBegin
#Inserts green TODO note in text
#DescriptionEnd
# Author: Rainer M Krug 

Format 11

InsetLayout TODO
LyXType   custom
LabelString   TODO
LatexType command
LatexName myOwnTodo
Decorationclassic
LabelFont
  Color   green
  SizeLarge
  Series  Bold
EndFont
OptionalArgs  1
MultiPar  false
Preamble
\RequirePackage{xcolor}
\newcommand{\myOwnTodo}[1]{\textcolor{green}{[\textbf{TODO:~} #1
]} }
EndPreamble
End


The advantage: if yiou load the "TODO notes" module from Juergen, it
automatically uses those instead of the in-text-TODO notes!

How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX? These are truetype fonts 
metrically identical to Microsoft's main fonts:

Liberation Mono -> Courier New
Liberation Sans -> Arial
Liberation Serif -> Times New Roman

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts)

Thanks

I save it in  ~/.lyx/scripts/ but it is not executed.

Do I have to set it somewhere to execute the script? Do I have to set the
copier to execute this script somwehere under FileFormats?

Or are the scripts in ~/.lyx/scripts automatically executed?

Yes, you have to set the copier under Converters, for whichever 
converter you want to use it with. Note that you will want to use the 
variables mentioned in Customization 3.2 to get the arguments you need.


By the way, I think you will also need to do the actual copying of the 
file from the temporary directory to the destination directory yourself. 
If you use a special copier, then LyX does not do it for you.

Do I have to set it under Copiers File Formats, or under Converters? I
thought if I specify it under File Formats - Copier, it should work.

Re: How does one use the Liberation fonts in LyX?

[Rob Oakes]

Hi Steve, 

I think that you have one of two options.  The first, of course is to
install the fonts onto your system in the normal way and then use XeTeX
to compile the document.  If you choose this route, you can assign the
font through the use of the \setfont macros: \setmainfont{font name},
\setsansfont{font name}, \setmonofont{font name}

If using LyX 1.6.5, you will need to set up XeLaTeX to work with LyX.
There is information on how to do this on the wiki.  If using LyX SVN,
it already has support built-in.  Just go to Document Settings -> Output
and enable "Use XeTeX".

Additional information about XeLaTex and font support is available at:

http://existentialtype.net/2008/07/12/fonts-in-latex-part-one-xelatex/

The alternative is to see if someone has created a font definition file.
You can also create your own.  Additional information about the process
is available from the excellent blog, Existential Type:

http://existentialtype.net/2008/07/12/fonts-in-latex-part-two-pdftex-and-opentype/

I personally prefer to go the XeLaTeX route.  Since moving over to LyX
SVN, I use it to compile more or less everything.  While there are some
packages it doesn't support (like microtype), I find that it does a good
job with just about everything.  I've even been able to use some of the
more exotic modules (like Sweave) and classes (like Tufte) without
problems.  For an example output, see:

http://www.oak-tree.us/stuff/LyX/Sweave-Opportunity.pdf

(Aside: In the example above, using xetex allowed me to use the same
typefaces that Tufte uses -- Bembo and Gil Sans -- without creating a
font definition file for them -- which ranks right alongside major oral
surgery on my priority list.)

Cheers,

Rob Oakes

Do you see your layout there at all? Or is it marked unavailable?


If you don't see it at all, then where did you put your new layout 
file? You might try saving it as au.layout, and deleting the "[au]" 
optional argument. This is easier.


If it's marked unavailable, then the problem is that the configure.py 
script is not finding the class for some reason. Try to reconfigure 
again.

It is marked unavailable, in a computer with Windows 7, and other with 
Windows Vista.


But, in a computer with Windows XP no problem (is the same layout, put 
in the \layouts)

Maybe it's a problem of seven and vista

XeTeX with LyX

[Yago]

Hi to all.

I have XeTeX installed and builded in my MikTex installation but I cannot add a 
new pdf converter in accord with this instructions from the wiki.

Setting up LyX to work with Xetex
This assumes you have Xetex installed. On my texlive installation, it was 
installed automatically. Try running 'xetex' or 'xelatex' to check if its 
there. If not, install it (depends on your LaTeX distribution). 

First of all, you need to add a PDF (xetex) File Format and LyX->Xetex 
conversion: 

Under Tools->Preferences->File handling->File formats, click "New" and 

[x] check "Document Format" 
[x] check "Vector Graphic Format" 
Short Name: pdf4 
Extension: pdf 
Viewer: xdg-open
(Windows users should use pdfview. Alternatively, use any viewer that worked 
for you under File Format PDF (pdflatex).) 

Under "Converters" (just above the "File formats" you just clicked on), click 
on add and set 

>From format: LaTeX (pdflatex) 
To format: PDF (xelatex) 
Converter: xelatex $$i 
Extra flag: latex 
[x] check "Enabled" 

There's no problem for me with the first part, but in my "Converters" window I 
cannot select the option "Add" that's she's in gray.

I don't get it to work - whatever I try. The copier (cp.lyx) in
~/.lyx/scriots reads:

##
#!/bin/bash
FROM=$1
TO=$2
TODIR=`dirname $TO`

svn info $FROM > $TODIR/svninfo.txt
cp $FROM $TO
###

Now which copier should I define? I want to have it preferably for all
output formats, for View as well as Export. But I would be happy if it works
for pdf (pdflatex).

So I thought, I define the copier for PDF (pdflatex) as:

cp.lyx $$i $$o

First observation: I have to specify the whole path, i.e:

~/.lyx/scripts/cp.lyx $$i $$o

Second: it works only when I use Export - and then this is the final step,
i.e. AFTER the pdf is created (obviously) and the svn info can not be
included in the document.

What I would need, is a way of executing the command "svn info
TheLyxFile.lyx > TheTMPDIR/svninfo.txt" BEFORE LaTeX is compiling, so that
the file can be included in the final document.

Any tips appreciated,

Rainer

Sure, try to start with the minimal attached file

at the prompt, do:

svn add svn.lyx
svn propset svn:keywords "Id" svn.lyx
svn commit
svn update

then open the file with lyx and view->dvi (or whatever)

it works here

Page numbering for subpages

[Dainis Zegners]

Hello to everybody!

I have the following problem to solve in Lyx:

I have a couple of graphics in floats that each fill a whole page. I want that
these pages are inserted as subpages, that is with numberings 40a, 40b, etc.

The reason is that I am writting a thesis with a maximum page limit of 40, but I
am allowed to count pages with graphs only as subpages.

I have already searched the internet for some hours but have not found a
solution yet. I found a latex package called subfigure , but some how this did
not work together with the float environment.

I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance ! 

Dainis

P.S. I am using Lyx 1.6.2 on a Ubuntu 9.0.4 system.

   

change latex export

[Sergio Celani]

Hi

I new user of Lyx.Before I used Scientific Workplace.


I would like to change the way as Lyx export some  latex files.

For example, take the ams article. When Lyx export to latex put

\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}

\newtheorem{cor}[thm]{Corollary}

but I would like
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[section]
\newtheorem{corollary}[theorem]{Corollary}

Where I can change these parameters ?
thanks in advance


Cordially

The easiest way, probably, is to copy the theorems-ams.inc file to your 
local LyX directory (e.g., $HOME/.lyx/layouts/, on Linux) and then make 
the modifications you need in that file. It'll be clear, if you look at 
the file, where to make them. The disadvantage to this method is that 
you're making the change globally. A more flexible way is to create a 
module of your own that will override the existing declarations, and 
then you can use it when you want to do so. Have a look at the 
theorems-sec.module to get a sense for how this is done and at Chapter 5 
of the Customization manual for all the details.

Here as well.

So I have to use svn.update, to get the version with the svn-info included.

Thanks a lot,
