Optional arguments for a custom InsetLayout?
I was trying to write a really small module for the sidenotes package. I
pretty much copied what jürgen Spitzmüller wrote for the pdfcomment
package (http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Modules/pdfcomment.module)
Now what I realized is, that I can't insert optional arguments (the LyX
way, via insert>short title), even though I specified their availability
in the module. The pdfcomment module also seems to enable optional
arguments, but I can't add any when I try it.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or if this is a bug? The code for
the module is below.
Thanks for your help!

LaTeX's floating algorithm works perfectly for a few floats but will fail for too many floats. The limit of currently unprocessed floats is therefore set to 18. Couldn't this be handled by the package placeins, with the command \FloatBarrier? Placing that command every now and then? Just my first thought...

It allows you to convert final drafts of either format into the other, but it precludes any serious collaboration on shared texts. For the book I mentioned above, my co-editor and I used .doc to write the introduction, then I converted the next to final draft into .lyx format and from that point on all his editing, additions, etcetera were done by him sending me the corrections and me inserting them into the Lyx file.

Don't give article the option titlepage, put "\begin{titlepage}" in

in a new paragraph "\thispagestyle{empty} \end{titlepage}".
Now everything should look like in your first example but without the

now the pagenumber on the titlepage is suppressed by \thispagestyle{empty}.

If you want more control over the design of your titlepage, I suggest to
use \begin{titlepage} and \end{titlepage} (both in ERT). Between those
two, you can fill in the content of your titlepage (as standard text,
formatted by hand) in a way that it suits your needs. Of course this
needs a bit fingerpainting but offers control over the layout. Keep in
mind that you have to keep the "titlepage"-class-option, or you will get
your pagenumber back.

This is an issue with the maketitle command lyx uses to create the

If I get you right, you want two different outputs, number one for
printing with both title and URL and number two as electronic version
with just the clickable title and nothing more.
There is a workaround for that... It's not quite beautiful, but it works.
You have to make a distinction between your two cases "printed" and
"pdf". For that, you can define your own latex-command, say
\myprintversion, by \def\myprintversion{} in Latex-Code.
In front of every hyperlink, you can check whether \myprintversion is
defined or not and use that to decide what output to generate. To stick
with your example, you could write \ifdefined\myprintversion (in
Latex-Code), then add the hyperlink in the way you want it in the
printversion. After that in Latex-Code \else, then add the hyperlink in
the way you want it in the electronic version. To finalize the
if-clause, you need to add the statement \fi in Latex-Code.
Now all you have to do to switch between print-version and electronic
version is to keep the definition of \myprintversion or delete/comment it.
If you need an example-file, I'll send you one.

The solution to your problem depends on the pagestyle you use.
You can set the pagestyle to empty before the place where you insert the
TOC by typing \pagestyle{empty} in an ERT box and reset it to whatever
it was by \pagestyle{your_style} right after the TOC.
If you haven't explicitly specified a pagestyle, replace your_style with
plain, otherwise use your pagestyle. If you want the numbering to be
started at one after your TOC, add \setcounter{page}{1} in ERT.

Re: Caption width in wrapped figures
Ehud Kaplan schrieb: Is there a way to control the width of a caption of a wrapped figure? I think in Latex you can specify this independently of the width of the graphics in the wrppaed figure, but how do I do it in Lyx? The current Lyx leaves too much white space around the figure, because the caption is much wider than the figure. Thanks EK I can't reproduce that. When my figure is smaller than the caption and I adjust the width of the wrapfigure by the LyX-Dialog, the caption is properly split up in several lines of text. Looking into the documentation of wrapfigure (at the end of wrapfig.sty), it says: Parameter "#4" (the second required parameter) is the width of the figure or table. Given the way that \LaTeX\ puts just about everything into boxes with the current line-width, the width parameter will take precedence over whatever natural width the figure has. In particular, the caption is always typeset with the specified width. So I don't think the whitespace around the figure is controled by the length of the caption. I could imagine that the horizontal dimension of your wrapfig-environment is set up too big and your picture is left- or right-aligned, that could mislead to the impression you have about the caption. I hope that gets you any further, regards, Florian

I made a image of the layout I want and uploaded it here http://picpaste.com/layout.png I also made it in ASCII since some people may not wish to follow a link 1 word +---+ |Figure | +---+ ++ 1 word || 4 words || +---+ || | Figure | |Table | +---+ || 4 words || +---+ || | Figure | || +---+ || ++ However, I can't do it. I've read the user's guide and it says that LyX doesn't support wrap floats, to read the documentation of wrapfig. I followed the reference in the guide which was a sty file. I just don't understand what's written in there. I thought I could do it with LaTeX code so I got a book from the library but I still can't. Can someone give me a hand with this? Thanks in advance Carnë Draug I usually do this kind of layout by simply adding a table without visible lines and add the content where I want it. So in your case, I would create a single float environment, add a 2x2 table, merge the upper fields, insert the first figure. Then, I would set the width of the colums to a defined value (because then I am allowed to fill in more than one line of content in a cell). Afterwards, I would insert the table in the lower left cell and the other stuff in the lower right cell. Do you need an example-file? Regards, Florian

Hi Florian,
Thanks for the reply. I want the page number to be clickable *and* bold.
I know how to get it clickable (just use hyperref) and I know how to get
it bold (add |textbf) but it doesn't work simultaneously.

Ah, now I see your problem.
The main issue is, that makeindex allows only one command to specify
what to do with the page number, and hyperref needs this command to set
up the linkage.
As suggested in the hypperref-readme, you can circumvent the problem:
* The encap mechanism of Makeindex allows to use one command only
(see documentation of Makeindex).
If the user sets such a command, hyperref suppresses its
\hyperpage command. With logical markup this situation
can easily be solved:
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\usepackage[hyperindex]{hyperref}
\newcommand*{\main}[1]{\textbf{\hyperpage{#1}}}
...
\index{Some example|main}
So you just need to put the statement
\newcommand*{\main}[1]{\textbf{\hyperpage{#1}}} in your document
preamble and use |main whereever you want a pagenumber in the index to
be bold and clickable.
Regards,
Florian

At the moment, when I use a float figure it typically appears before the

Is there a way to get float figures to appear at or after the point in the

page?
Thanks!
I suggest you try the placeins-package (
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/placeins.html ).
It provides the command \FloatBarrier which helps keeping floats between
defined points.
In case you don't know, you can add \usepackage{placeins} to your
document preamble and insert \FloatBarrier at any point you want in
TeX-Code (crtl+L).

Suggestions?
In the preamble, put:

I don't use beamer, but I recognize the problem with other classes. If
you are already using hyperref with other options, just add
"colorlinks=true" to the list of options.
Unfortunately, this will cause _all_ refs to by colored. This would include
e.g. sections in the table of contents. That doesn't look good either.
You should try \usepackage[colorlinks=false,pdfborder={0 0 0}]{hyperref} .
First Option should eliminate colouring of the links, second one the box

You're right, it isn't a problem of sideways float, only with the \sideways

here's how I reproduce it:
make a new doc: enter a 2x2 table and apply the "rotate table by 90°" option in
the table options, or just a "rotate cell" and try to compile:
The dialog tells me:
"A was supposed to be here."
" \begin{sideways}
I was expecting to see \hbox or \vbox or \copy or \box or

If you can't reproduce the error, tell me please.

Confirmed here, on both 1.6.2 and 1.6.3svn. Everything was fine before
updating the rotating-package by MiKTeX's update wizard, afterwards it
produces the error described above.

Re: Lyx-Command for inserting Tex-Code
I don't know this special case, but what TeX commands do you frequently need? Well, in my case, these are some really specific commands. For example, as a chemist, I want the Substances in my Texts to have a number orderered by appearance, and at the same time I want to define a short name. So I defined my own Substances TeX-Macro's and now can just once define a Substance with a short and a long name. Everywhere else, I use other TeX-Macro's to insert either the long name, the number, or both, just using the short name. I also have to use those numbers created in graphics of drawn structures, so I figured out a way to overlay an existing graphic with textat specified positions, still using the LyX-way to insert graphics. This involves the PGF/TikZ-Package and some ERT, so I decided to bind the ERT involved to a button in my own toolbar. I can imagine others having different but not less used TeX-code they need. regards Uwe Greetings, Florian

Regards Arne You can do this by using the LyX-Function "command-sequence".

James Mansion schrieb: Vincent van Ravesteijn wrote: Where is your backup that is made every 5 minutes ? I don't know - is there one? It was a new document so I hadn't explicitly saved it anywhere yet. I restarted Lyx hoping it would offer to recover but it didn't. If it is saving the work in progress, maybe such an offer could be made more prominently? James I think LyX is always making those backups, and usually, when it detects the backup file being newer than the original, it suggests you to open the backup-file. But when you create a new document, it will temporarily be saved in a directory depending on your platform and installation, until you save it to a specific location. So in your case, there may be a backup of "newfile1.lyx" somewhere around, but I think it could have been overwritten in the meantime. Greetings, Florian

Simply put the following in ERT (LaTeX-Code) before your enumeration starts:
\renewcommand{\theenumii}{\theenumi.\arabic{enumii}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumii}{\theenumii}
Please note that this changes enumeration style for the rest of the

Here's a way to do it:
-Put the statement "\usepackage{enumerate}" in your
document->settings->LaTeX-Preamble (of course without quotation marks)
-At any point you want to start your enumeration do not use enumerate
style, simply add some TeX-Code (Crtl+L): "\begin{enumerate}[Step 1]".
The statement in squared brackets is a prototype for your enumeration
item, for other options google the docs of the enumerate package.
-In front of every item you want to enumerate, add again some TeX-Code:
"\item " (the blank character is needed)
-At the end of your customized enumeration, add in TeX-Code:
"\end{enumerate}"
I don't know if there are simpler ways, but this should work...
