RE: unavailable classes

2005-11-19 Thread Andreas Kofod-Hansen
I'm using LyX in Windows with the MikTeX package. I chose to install
everything when I installed MikTeX, but I'm still missing the CV class. How
do I get this class (and the other unavailable classes, and how (and where)
do I install them.

Thanks
Andreas Kofod-Hansen

 I am trying to use the curriculum vitae class in lyx and it is listed

 as unavailable. How to I install it or make it available?

 LyX 1.3.6 comes with the cv example and the cv LyX layout and cv
class.

 On my system, lyx also doesn't see the class:
  +checking for document class cv [cv]... no

 It is available for me at /usr/pkg/share/lyx/tex/cv.cls

 Should the lyx installation put these into a known LaTeX path? Or should
it 
 run mktexlsr?

I fixed the lyx packages for pkgsrc by patching lib/Makefile.in so it 
would not install the $(TEXSUPPORT) files. Then I manually installed 
these files to my tex directory.

Can the lyx configure add an option to choose where they can be installed?

So it can easily be installed to ${PREFIX}/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx/ for 
example.

I didn't look, but I was also told that Debian's lyx package also 
installs these files to its own hierarchy. And Gentoo uses a symlink to 
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx for same. (See 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91108)

Spell checking multiple languages?

2005-11-18 Thread Andreas Kofod-Hansen
Hi

 

I have read that it's possible to spell check a multiple language, but the
statement that it is possible have never been accompanied by a guide on to
how to do it, so this is what I ask now.

 

Regards

Andreas

 

 

P.S. I use Lyx in Windows with Aspell as the spell checker.

 



Abstracts in multiple languages, preface and acknowledgements

2005-11-18 Thread Andreas Kofod-Hansen
Hi

 

I'm writing my masters thesis in lyx, and as I'm writing the thesis in
danish, an abstract in english (as well as one in danish) is required. I
have tried using the latex directive selectlanguage to select first English
(or more correctly, British) and then Danish, and that has worked ok as far
as selecting the language the abstract header is displayed in. However,
the page numbering is ruined as it's reset every when reaching the second
abstract. How do I solve this? Do I simply use unnumbered chapters for the
abstracts, or is there another way around it using the abstract text class.
What about roman numbers before the TOC, is that possible in Lyx, or do I
need to use Latex directives? And. what about the preface and
acknowledgements? I haven't found any way of selecting this in any of
document classes, so how do I get around this?

 

Any help is appreciated

 

Regards

Andreas
