Re: Lyx mailing list: problem with fancyhdr

[Stefan Zorn]

Hi all,

 Additionally I have a small question which I could not find in the
 forum: Occasionally (4 lines in 100 pages) a line overwrites the right
 margin. It seems that, this are lines with very long words. How can I
 manual force a line break in this case?

Use InsertFormattingHyphenation Point to insert a soft hyphen (as

Problem solved thank you very much Richard!


 Hi all,

 I have a problem wih the fancyhdr package. I use lyx version 1.6.5.
 In order to add the title of the chapter in the top line and the
 pagenumber at the bottom of the page (both for even numbered pages in
 the right corner and for odd numbered pages in the left corner), I
 used the header:

 \usepackage{fancyhdr}

 \pagestyle{fancy}

 \fancyhead{}  % clear all header fields
 \fancyhead[LO,RE]{\leftmark}
 \fancyfoot{}  % clear all footer fields
 \fancyfoot[LO,RE]{\thepage}
 \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}

 It works perfectly fine. However, the first page of each chapter is
 unchanged. I want to change the position of this pages to the left or
 right position and no header. To this end I used in the header the
 command:

 \pagestyle{fancyplain}
 \fancyhead{}  % clear all header fields
 \fancyfoot{}  % clear all footer fields
 \fancyfoot[LO,RE]{\thepage}

 If I put this in the header in front of the \pagestyle{fancy}
 commands, the first chapter page looks like the following ones but
 without a line in the top.
 If I put it in the header after the \pagestyle{fancy} commands, the
 first chapter page looks as I intended (no header, the pagenumber
 moved to the left/right corner). However, the other pages got only a
 line in the header without the chaptername.

 What is wrong?

Maybe the question was a bit to complicated, so I try to ask easier:

I use the document class report.
How would you define with the fancyhdr package or in an other way,
that in the first pages of the chapters the pagenumbers are printed
for even numbered pages in the lower right corner and for odd numbered
pages in the lower left corner?

Thank you very much for your help!

Getting RevTeX 4.1 layout to work

[Daniel Joshua Stark]

Dear All,

I'm using LyX 1.6.7 on Mac OS X 10.6.4.  

I've installed the revtex4-1.layout file in /Library/Application 
Support/LyX-1.6/layouts 

I use the 2009 Tex Live distribution of MacTeX and it is up-to-date.  When I 
check in texmf-dist/tex/latex/revtex, revtex4-1.cls is present.  

I've run sudo texhash several times and have reconfigured LyX several times.  
However, whenever I try to select Article (REVTeX 4.1) in Lyx, I get the 
following error:  The document class revtex4-1 could not be loaded. 

I'm at a lost as to why it is not loading.  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

The error message is saying that the layout file could not be loaded. If 
you've downloaded the layout file from the wiki here:

http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Revtex4-1
then the problem is that this is for LyX 2.0, not for LyX 1.6.x. I've 
added a note to that effect to the wiki.


The error messages for this kind of thing will be more informative in 2.0.

How to view outline mode without clicking the table of contents?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I have LyX 1.6.4 on Ubuntu 9.10.

How do I view outline mode without clicking the table of contents? I know it's 
a dumb question with a simple answer, but I've crawled all over the menus and 
done some Googling and can't find it. Could somebody please enlighten me?

The problem with clicking on the table of contents is I have a somewhat long 
book with the contents neither on page 1 nor on the last page, so I have to go 
and find the contents to click them. This happens every time I bring up a new 
LyX session. It would be a lot easier if I knew how to access outline mode 
from the menu system.

Thanks

Thanks Tennessee

I am guessing, now, that the chapter command has been changed by fancychap
and that this has somehow changed the behaviour of the links for the
appendices. I removed it from the preable and that has fixed that problem.

Just now I changed the options of koma-script to listof=toc, and the list of
figures and tables are included in the TOC, but the table of contents itself
is not still... Any ideas?

Thought that might work for me Richard - but doesn't:

Using Debian Squeeze - LyX version 1.6.7 - book (KOMA-Script)

and in the preamble - \hyphenpenalty=1 - \widowpenalty=1000

So I have always done the hyphenating manually in the few instances
where it's not done for me, usually in email headers copied into LyX.

Be well,

The error message is saying that the layout file could not be loaded. If

How to view outline mode without clicking the table of contents?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I have LyX 1.6.4 on Ubuntu 9.10.

How do I view outline mode without clicking the table of contents? I know it's 
a dumb question with a simple answer, but I've crawled all over the menus and 
done some Googling and can't find it. Could somebody please enlighten me?

The problem with clicking on the table of contents is I have a somewhat long 
book with the contents neither on page 1 nor on the last page, so I have to go 
and find the contents to click them. This happens every time I bring up a new 
LyX session. It would be a lot easier if I knew how to access outline mode 
from the menu system.

Thanks

 Hi all

 I am writing my thesis in LyX and I am using koma-script report template.
 I have most things working really well, it is great, but I have two things
 which arent.

 1/ I want to have my TOC, LOT and LOF all to appear in the table of
 contents and to be in the PDF, is this possible.


 Basically, you have to give class options (Document:Settings:Document
 Class:Class Options:Custom) that tell KOMA-Script to include these.

 The options are:
 listof=totoc
 bibliography=totoc or =totocnumbered (to have it numbered in sequence as
 a chapter).

 So in your case you would have:
 listof=totoc,bibliography=totoc

 in the custom options box.

 See the screencast here (2 minutes) for the effect:
 http://screencast.com/t/ODQ3MDc3O

 See section 3.1.5 of the KOMA-Script manual for a full description of these
 TOC options:
 http://www.tex.ac.uk/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf.



 2/ My appendices are in the TOC but when you click them it goes to chapter
 1 for APp A, chapter 2 for APP B etc. This is the case for in text and the
 PDF index.


 This does not happen with my KOMA-Script documents. Maybe it is a problem
 of one of the packages that you are using which redefines some aspects of
 the Chapter command in the case of appendixes. It's hard to tell... Maybe
 someone else has an answer on that one :)

Thanks Tennessee

I am guessing, now, that the chapter command has been changed by fancychap
and that this has somehow changed the behaviour of the links for the
appendices. I removed it from the preable and that has fixed that problem.

Just now I changed the options of koma-script to listof=toc, and the list of
figures and tables are included in the TOC, but the table of contents itself
is not still... Any ideas?

  This looks like a great tool to teach probability and statistics, R,
LaTeX, LyX, and Sweave. That's a lot of value from a single document. Kudos

Re: Lyx mailing list: problem with fancyhdr

[Charlie]

On Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:27:49 + Stefan Zorn
wintige...@googlemail.com shared this with is all on the Lyx users
list:

 Additionally I have a small question which I could not find in the
 forum: Occasionally (4 lines in 100 pages) a line overwrites the
 right margin. It seems that, this are lines with very long words.
 How can I manual force a line break in this case?  

Use InsertFormattingHyphenation Point to insert a soft hyphen (as
WordPerfect used to call it). This will tell TeX that it is OK to
break the line there.  

rh   

Thought that might work for me Richard - but doesn't:

Using Debian Squeeze - LyX version 1.6.7 - book (KOMA-Script)

and in the preamble - \hyphenpenalty=1 - \widowpenalty=1000

So I have always done the hyphenating manually in the few instances
where it's not done for me, usually in email headers copied into LyX.

Be well,
Charlie

I understand what you mean :) To have only a link in the PDF bookmarks, use:

\pdfbookmark[0]{Table of Contents}{toc}

in LaTeX code just before the Table of Contents (basically replacing
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}
{Table of Contents} that I mentionned in the previous reply).

This way, the table of contents appears in the PDF bookmarks, but not in the

How to view outline mode without clicking the table of contents?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I have LyX 1.6.4 on Ubuntu 9.10.

How do I view outline mode without clicking the table of contents? I know it's 
a dumb question with a simple answer, but I've crawled all over the menus and 
done some Googling and can't find it. Could somebody please enlighten me?

The problem with clicking on the table of contents is I have a somewhat long 
book with the contents neither on page 1 nor on the last page, so I have to go 
and find the contents to click them. This happens every time I bring up a new 
LyX session. It would be a lot easier if I knew how to access outline mode 
from the menu system.

Thanks Tennessee

I am guessing, now, that the chapter command has been changed by "fancychap"
and that this has somehow changed the behaviour of the links for the
appendices. I removed it from the preable and that has fixed that problem.

Just now I changed the options of koma-script to listof=toc, and the list of
figures and tables are included in the TOC, but the table of contents itself
is not still... Any ideas?

Cheers,

Alex

OT: Statistics book created with LyX/Sweave

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all
To increase the noise level, G. Jay Kerns recently published an
"Introduction to Probability and Statistics Using R" book [1] that was
generated using LyX with Sweave. The book and the source files are
available to download.

Liviu,

  This looks like a great tool to teach probability and statistics, R,
LaTeX, LyX, and Sweave. That's a lot of value from a single document. Kudos
to Jay.

Thought that might work for me Richard - but doesn't:

Using Debian Squeeze - LyX version 1.6.7 - book (KOMA-Script)

and in the preamble - \hyphenpenalty=1 - \widowpenalty=1000

So I have always done the hyphenating manually in the few instances
where it's not done for me, usually in email headers copied into LyX.

Be well,
Charlie

Yes! Thank you Liviu!

I told you it was a dumb question, but I couldn't find it myself even after an 
hour of looking. I just couldn't accept it wouldn't be in the View menu.

Anyway, thanks, you've made my job a lot easier.

Most welcome. :) I also think Outline would be better off in View.

Hi again

Ok, I see what you mean, that does seem weird. But what about in the pdf
index (see attached screenshot) I would expect that I should be able to move
to the TOC from here, right?

I understand what you mean :) To have only a link in the PDF bookmarks, use:

\pdfbookmark[0]{Table of Contents}{toc}

in LaTeX code just before the Table of Contents (basically replacing
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}
{Table of Contents} that I mentionned in the previous reply).

This way, the table of contents appears in the PDF bookmarks, but not in the
table of contents itself.

Fantastic! Thank you so much. I really like writing in LyX, but some of
these things are hard to discover. Have a good day/night whatever!

Re: moderncv class broken?

[Nathan Tomlin]

Hmm, I got moderncv to work on a computer running windows 7, both lyx
versions 1.6.5 and 1.6.7 work. However, it still doesn't work on two
different machines running windows XP - Lyx versions 1.6.5, 1.6.6.1 and
1.6.7 all give the same error. Miktex is updated on all machines. I
installed Lyx using the alternative windows installer
(altinstaller-complete) on all machines.

I've attached a test lyx file. Anyone else have trouble with this file on
XP?
