TOCLOFT - numwidth - Understanding Documentation
Hi GuysFirst of all I'd like to wish you all a pretty good weekend :-) Secondly, (here it comes...) I'm trying to understanding the TocLoft documentation to use in my College Paper but I'm stuck in the following: How would be the procedure to set the numwidth of a specific entry?!?! I mean, how would I do to change the 2.3 numwidth from the Section(or any other) Entry to another value? Searching on internet and reading the documentation I can figure it out. Do you have any idea?? Regards and Thank you ALL Marcelo
Attached - TOC Help - Page
Guys, as usual I'm counting on you to help me finish my paper using LYX. I'm having a "issue" that I'd like to fix somehow (any workaround would be fine) I'd like to make CAPÍTULO 3 appear in the next Page It is really strange the way it is right now Any idea would be great appreciate, I'm still not familiarized with Latex. I was thinking on just change the MARGINS of that specific page and make it less higher...But I don't think it is possible.. Please..Help me..It is one of the last things that is missing. Regards Marcelo

Re: new info Custom-Bib / Lyx / Bibliography / Customize
Which
square brackets were you wanting to remove, then?
rh
I want to remove these ones:
I got these result if I use the following in the BST I sent:
FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
"\bibitem[" write$
""
"]{" write$
cite$ write$
"}" write$
newline$
""
before.all 'output.state :=
}
If I do just the way you asked me to do:
{ newline$
"\bibitem" write$
""
"{" write$
cite$ write$
"}" write$
newline$
""
before.all 'output.state :=
}
Latex will automatically put again the numbers [1],[2],[3]
Was I able to explain ? (Sorry for my bad English, I'm doing my best...
:-D)

Marcelo

IDEAS of how to remove the *square brackets*???
Why not just take them out? I.e.:
FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
"\bibitem" write$
""
"{" write$
cite$ write$
"}" write$
newline$
""
before.all 'output.state :=
}
or more simply:
FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
"\bibitem{" write$
cite$ write$
"}" write$
newline$
""
before.all 'output.state :=
}
Because if I do this, Lyx / Latex will automatically number the labels..
So I will have [1], [2], [3]
It is the default behavior ...
The following information was taken from
http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-205.html
The \bibitem command generates an entry labeled by label
If the label argument is missing, a number is generated as the label,
using the enumiv counter
<http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-3.html>.
The cite_key is a mnemonic consisting of any sequence of letters,
numbers, and punctuation symbols not containing a comma.
So, just remove the "[" "]" would not work as well.. :-(
Other solutions??
new info Custom-Bib / Lyx / Bibliography / Customize
I was able to do some Workaround, but there is some things and steps
missing.Maybe you can help me
I was able to create the bibliography just with [] (NO INFORMATION
INSIDE the *square brackets*).
I changed the BST file from :
FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
"\bibitem[" write$
label write$
"]{" write$
cite$ write$
"}" write$
newline$
""
before.all 'output.state :=
}
TO:
FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
"\bibitem[" write$
""
"]{" write$
cite$ write$
"}" write$
newline$
""
before.all 'output.state :=
}
IDEAS of how to remove the *square brackets*???
THANK YOU SO MUCH

Guys, Don't ask me why I need to do this but the college that I study is
asking me to do the following modification on my document:
(Check Attached)
They don't wanna any [NUMBER] or [Auther , YEAR], they want it just the
way the MS WORD (BRAZIL) creates bibliography.
I tried to look for custom-bib, or any other thing but I did not succeed.
DO you guys have any other idea??
It is not a problem if I could not use the \CITE, actually I will
include the citations in my document all manually.
I'd like just to make the Bibliography part to work because I have a BIB
file with a LOT of information there.
Thanks and regards,
Marcelo

Keyboard Shortcut Crashed
Guys, I was trying to configure the shortcut key CTRL+I to automatically changes my text to Italic in LYX but when I tried to do it LYX crashed and now seems like it ERASED all the DEFAULT shortcut list that there was configured. Now when I try to use like CTRL + B to bold, the only symbom that appears in the screen is a little square. CTRL+Z do not work anymore to UNDO, in other words..NONE of the shortcuts is working. What do I have to do to restore it to defaults??? Regards Marcelo

Re: [Fwd: FancyBox - Shadowbox - Page Border]
Not at all. Just put an asterisk after \AddToShipoutPicture, i.e., use \AddToShipoutPicture* and only the first produced page will have the border. Regards, and I don't want to bother you, You're welcome. It Worked like a charm...Thanks Again :-) Does the asterisk have a special meaning?! Cause I know that with Part and Subsection the asterisk means that it will or will not be numbered parts or sections. What would be the best way of discovering what the asterisk would do in this specific command? (It is just for information, learn about LATEX and LYX). Marcelo

Charles, I've hear about the custom-bib but I was not able to find how
to do it under Windows, is it possible? ("I have searched on google as

I tried to use a java software called BIB-IT to create my own style too,
but it has a lot of bugs and is not working well.
If I could use the custom-bib would be perfect.
The other option that you told was suppress the natbib option (Under
Document Settings in LYX, and choose Default or JURABIB? That is what

Guys, believe me I did a lot of research regarding this, but until now I was not able to make things works the way I want. I'm developing (at least trying) my thesis, and I can't make things goes the way I want. I need the following style to Bibliography: [Author Name, YEAR] ;. . a example would be: [Reyes & Wiles, 2007] Reyes, A. & Wiles, J. Best Dawn Cybercrime and Digital Forensics Book. Syngress. 2007. I'm from brazil, so I need or the sign & or the word E (the same as and) to separate the names inside []. I tried A LOT of styles, and finally I was able to find one that I thought that meet my needs.it is the ALIKE2 style. When I use it things are PERFECT!.. *BUT HERE IS THE HUGE PROBLEM: *When I create ANY citation in my document, ALL the things inside the [ ] in Bibliography just disappear. If I remove the citation, things back to normal and [Name of Author, YEAR] came back. Example: Without Citation in document: *[Reyes & Wiles, 2007] Reyes, A. & Wiles, J. Best Dawn Cybercrime and Digital Forensics.Book. Syngress. 2007. *With Citation in document: *Reyes, A. & Wiles, J. Best Dawn Cybercrime and Digital Forensics.Book. Syngress. 2007.

Re: TOC - Table of Contents - Location
Hi Vincent, I don't want to bother you, but seems like something is not
working in my environment, maybe you could give me a opinion.
When I use
\renewcommand\contentsname{ANYTHING}
things works fine
but when I use the \CENTER
\renewcommand\contentsname{\center Anything}
Nothing is printed in the screen from this point on
(Lets imagine I put it in the 4th page...so this is not printed (in DVI
or PDF) and none of the pages that forwards it..)
Do you have any Idea of what is going on?!?
The strange is that if I use the \CENTER on a empty Lyx document, things
works just fine and the word get in the Center of screen.
Could you give me your opinion?
Thank you very much
