Re: List with line break after the item label
I couldn't find a way to do it using enumitem either, but googling about it
I found this:
http://texblog.net/latex-beginners-guide/examples/chapter-4
The last image that shows how lists work gave me this silly idea of
inserting an horizontal space after the label, and apparently it worked.
I knew to Latex and Lyx, so I don't know if using horizontal spaces this
way is a bad idea, but I got exactly what I wanted.
I wish I could make Lyx display it the same way, but it is good enough for
me right now.
The shortcut for my list:
\bind "C-S-k C-S-l" "layout FieldList"
And the file fieldlist.inc:
# "FieldList"
Format 35
Style FieldList
Category List
MarginManual
LatexType List_Environment
LatexName fieldlist
NextNoindent 1
LabelSep x
ParSkip 0.4
TopSep0.7
BottomSep 0.7
ParSep0.5
Align Block
AlignPossible Block, Left
LabelType Manual
LabelFont
Family Typewriter
EndFont
LabelString "0"
#define the environment fieldlist
Preamble
\newenvironment{fieldlist}[1]
{\begin{list}{}
{\settowidth{\labelwidth}{#1}
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}
\addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}
\renewcommand{\makelabel}[1]{\texttt{##1}\hspace{1\columnwidth
{\end{list}}
EndPreamble
End
Cheers,
Fabio.

List with line break after the item label
Hello, I'm made a new list layout based on the lyxlist layout, but I'd like to insert a line break after the item label to move the text to the next line. Something like this: ItemLabel Text goes here after indent. I checked several layouts but couldn't figure out how to do it. Cheers, Fabio.
Help with command sequence
Hello, I want to create a shortcut for a minipage with a drop shadw box and line width. After reading the page about command sequences on the wiki ( http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/CommandSequences) I down to this: "command-sequence box-insert Shadowbox" I just need to set the box width, from columnwidth to linewidth, is this possible? Cheers, Fabio.
Add buttons to toolbars?
Hi folks. The company I work for has always used OpenOffice/LibreOffice to write the software documentation. Recently I convinced everyone to switch to TeX with LyX, so I've been working on a layout for us. Now I'd like to add new buttons on the toolbar to perform simple operations, like change the font family of the selected text to typewriter, or insert a listing. I know I can use keyboard shortcuts for pretty much everything, but we have some clickers here and they are not comfortable with this solution. Thanks in advance, Fabio.
Re: Problems using lyxlist with itemize
Nevermind that, I just found out that I can change the label width of a
lyxlist using the paragaph settings.
I still don't know why I couldn't use lyxlist using a block of TeX code,
but this is no longer an issue for me.
Cheers,
Fabio.

Re: Unable to change the page style using Memoir
I tried using the command \pagestyle in the preamble and it didn't work.
Using the page layout in Document > Settings didn't work either.
I even tried removing everything else from the preamble, but it always use
the plain style (header is empty and footer contains only the page number,
which is shown only on the first page of every part or chapter)
Cheers,
Fabio.

Problems using lyxlist with itemize
Hi,
I have a nested itemized list that looks like this (I'm using numbers
instead of the actual text):
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\begin{itemize}
\item 1.1
\item 1.2
\end{itemize}
\item 2
\begin{itemize}
\item 2.1
\item 2.2
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
I decided to replace the first itemized list with lyxlists and it worked
fine when done using the button in the toolbar, but I need to change the
value of the labelwidth, so I used copy/paste to copy the latex source of
the lyxlist generated by LyX into a block of TeX code.
It worked fine the first time, so I moved on and replaced the next nested
itemized list and got these errors:
"Environment lyxlist undefined"
"\begin{itemize} on input line XXX ended by \end{lyxlist}"
I checked the latex source code, but couldn't spot any errors:
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\begin{lyxlist}{labelwidth}
\item [{1.1}]
\item [{1.2}]
\end{lyxlist}
\item 2
\begin{itemize}
\item 2.1
\item 2.2
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
So I reverted my changes to find out what was wrong and noticed that it
only works when the lyxlist is followed by an empty line, which is
automatically removed when the cursor is moved to another line.
Here's what it looks like with the empty line:
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\begin{lyxlist}{labelwidth}
\item [{1.1}]
\item [{1.2}]
\end{lyxlist}
\begin{lyxlist}{00.00.}
\item
\end{lyxlist}
\item 2
\begin{itemize}
\item 2.1
\item 2.2
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
Thanks in advance.
Fabio.
Unable to change the page style using Memoir
Hello,
I'm new to LyX and TeX and while searching for resources about document
styling I came across several tutorials. One of them explained how to use
fancyhdr, which worked perfectly using the book document class.
Later I came across these blog posts:
http://hstuart.dk/2007/05/21/styling-the-chapter/
http://hstuart.dk/2007/06/12/styling-the-page-footer-and-header/
So I started using the document class to "book (Memoir)" to style the
chapters as described in the fist blog spot, but for some reason I can't
style the page header.
Changing the page layout using Document > Settings > Page layout doesn't
work either, it always end up using the "plain" header style.
I tried using fancyhdr again, but it doesn't work. Apparently the memoir
document class already includes an implementation of it or something like
that.
I'm using Windows XP SP3 and LyX 2.0.3.
This is my local layout:
