 any suggestion? I'm I going in the right way? Should I

enumeration style in lyx

2006-08-11 Thread Ingo Klöcker
Hi,

is there a way to customize the enumeration style that's used by LyX for 
displaying enumerations? Note, that I'm not talking about the 
enumeration styles used in the produced document. I know how to change 
those. FWIW, I'm still using LyX 1.3.5.

I'd prefer a way to do this via layout files because based on the 
enumerate or paralist packages I've created several styles for 
enumerations with different LatexParam, e.g. Enumeration_a_b_c with 
LatexParam a) to get a), b), c) like enums and Enumeration_i_ii_iii 
with LatexParam (i) to get (i), (ii), (iii) like enums. The only 
problem is that I didn't find a way to make LyX display the 
enumerations like they will appear in the produced document. Using 
Counter_EnumII or Counter_EnumIII instead of Counter_EnumI as LabelType 
didn't work because then LyX didn't display any labels at all.

Alternatively, I could live for now with changing the default labels LyX 
uses for enums, i.e. I'd change the default label for depth 1 
from (1) to a) and the default label for depth 2 from (a) 
to (i).

  They really should put the horizontal scroll bar into the GUI.

 Lyx is not designed to have an horizontal scroll bar because the text
 is supposed to just flow over the side to the next line. Also,
 usually, if the formula flows over the side it usually means that it
 will flow over the side of the page in the printout.

Unless LyX is used by a visually impaired person who needs a very large

Moreover, usage of math macros LyX doesn't know or usage of descriptive

I'm not trying to side-track this discussion, but there's a bit of
 an issue I've had with XFig itself (before I incorporate its figures
 into LyX, which works fabulously). I can start XFig so that all NEW
 text has the special flag and LaTeX fonts. However, if I want to
 edit a file in XFig which has been created elsewhere (I often produce
 plots in .eps format in, say, Mathematica, then use pstoedit to turn
 it into XFig format), the fonts, of course, don't have these special
 flags. I have written a Mathematica program to correctly set these
 flags in the XFig files, but one has to have Mathematica!. So my
 question is:

  Is there a simple program to set these things (special flag,
 LaTeX fonts, perhaps some nice feature like
 scale-fonts-to-60%-of-original-size)? Is there some switch in
 pstoedit that I'm missing? Or is there a simple regex way from bash?
 I'll eventually get another way figured out; it's not a pressing
 concern.

The XFig format is a pretty simple text format. I've once written a 
small script (in Perl I think) which scales an image without changing 
the font size. (XFig does also change the font size when one scales an 
image.) It shouldn't be hard to write a script which does what you 
want. I've attached my script to give you a starting point.

 pstoedit that I'm missing? Or is there a simple regex way from bash?
 I'll eventually get another way figured out; it's not a pressing

The XFig format is a pretty simple text format. I've once written a 
small script (in Perl I think) which scales an image without changing 
the font size. (XFig does also change the font size when one scales an 
image.) It shouldn't be hard to write a script which does what you 
want. I've attached my script to give you a starting point.

Even if a single lyx file is not too heavy loading the document will 
still be proportional to the file size.

So what is the typical use-case for the LyX Manual? That someone wants

to read about a specific subject, say including graphics?

In my experience the latter is the way more common use-case. I've read

In any case, I'm pretty sure we can discuss this to death. Some people

the second approach is feasible for anyone.

And as always there's the option to do both. Provide the LyX manual as 
one huge single file and additionally split up into several files. I'd 
put the multiple-files version into the release and put the URL of the 
single file version near the start of the multiple-files version.

And BTW, Martin, since you want to read the documentation in LyX in

 Hello everybody,

 I have the following problem: when I use AMS article from the layout

 that it
 precedes these headings by the word english or german written in

 depending on the language I choose in the layout menu.

Same here with LyX 1.3.5 and SUSE Linux 9.3.

 Exporting the

 Just an observation which may help spotting the error: the bug
 appears in the
 Suse Linux version of an older LyX and it appears in exactly the same
 form
 on the above mentioned version for Mac OS X which -- I think --
 points to a defect
 in the LyX amsart file.

I highly doubt this because the bug also occurs if one runs the exported 
tex file through latex. I suspect babel to be the culprit. It doesn't 
seem to be compatible with amsart. If you remove the english from 
\documentclass and add it to \usepackage[english]{babel} then exactly 
the same problem occurs, but if you remove \usepackage{babel} then the 
problem disappears.

 Does anybody know how to correct this stupid bug which completely

Anyway, after I had created this layout file I wrote my thesis purely

to do worry about other things than the actual contents for a 
relatively small amount of time.

 I looked all over Lyx and can't find this.

Well, I've translated it from my German LyX back to English, but it's 
actually Layout-Character. Under size you have several options.

If you want to have direct control over the font and don't want to write 
your own class/style file then you could use something like the 
following (to be inserted as ERT, i.e. TeX code) which I've used to 
print some text in really huge letters on a poster:

\fontsize{42mm}{50mm}
\usefont{T1}{pag}{b}{n}

This sets the font size to 42 mm with 50 mm line spacing. The second 
line changes the font. The general format is \usefont{fontencoding}
{fontfamily}{fontseries}{fontshape}.

If you only want to change the size then the following might work:

\fontsize{42mm}{50mm}
\selectfont

Of course, you should make sure that a scalable font is use, e.g. a 
PostScript font. Otherwise you might not get the expected result.

FWIW, this information comes from The LaTeX Companion. IMO this book in 
combination with some introduction to LaTeX is necessary to be able to 
make best use of LyX. At least, I consult it quite often. I guess most 
information can also be found on the net. So YMMV.

You can increase the font size in several steps. Look at 
Format-Character.

 I'm not really impressed too much by lyx. I feel restricted as to
 what forms and fashions I can use to create documents. I have read a
 lot of documentation on lyx over the past several days and what I
 gather is you are quite restricted, unless that is, if you want to do
 math and such things as that.

I think you are completely missing the point what LyX and LaTeX is all 
about. Just like with HTML in combination with CSS, LyX/LaTeX is mainly 
concerned with the contents. Unless you are a typographer you shouldn't 
have to worry about layouting a document. LyX/LaTeX will take care of 
this if you choose the right document class.

If you want to do fancy stuff and want to have full control over the 
layout than you either have to use a lot of LaTeX code in LyX (via ERT) 
or you should use a word processor (like OpenOffice.org or MS Word) 
which doesn't help you with layouting but forces you to do all the 
layouting yourself (with the result of a much inferior layout to what 
LyX/LaTeX would create).

 I think really I should just stick with Openoffice for writing. It is
 much simpler to use for actual writing and producing forms. Except,
 like I said, unless you want to do math formulae.

Maybe for your special use case you are right. But in general you are 
completely mistaken. LyX/LaTeX can be used to typeset any kinds of 
documents. For example I write all my letters with LyX, because I never 
have to worry about correct spacing or placement of address, date, etc. 
LaTeX places everything at the correct spot (in my case following the 
German norm for letters).

Sharing layout files

2006-05-29 Thread Ingo Klöcker
Hi,

since on one hand people are all the time asking for layouts for 
thisthat and on the other hand there are surely a lot of people who 
have already written their own layout files I'm wondering how we could 
share those layout files.

Should we simply add our layout files to the LyX wiki 
(http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts)? If yes, then why are there 
almost no layout files available? (I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's 
toes by asking this question.) Is there a policy for adding layout 
files (e.g. only layout files which don't require homebrewn style or 
class files) which many homebrewn layout files probably don't comply 
with?

Anyway, I'm just asking because the layout file(s) I've used for my 
thesis might be of general interest because they are for scrbook + 
ntheorem + enumerate. I've already sent them to the list a few days ago 
(at least I think I've sent them to the list) but it's probably easier 
for others to get them from the Wiki then from the list archive.

You have to choose Tools-Reconfigure _after_ creating the dummy

I can't answer your question, but the koma package contains an 
alternative to fancy headers which will most likely work much better in 
connection with koma article.

Simply ask Google to add a "Reply-to-List" functionality. If they deny 
your wish then you'll either have to rethink your decision or you'll
