Removing superfluous labels

2015-07-19 Thread Victor Porton
As a result of refactoring a draft of my book, I now have some theorems
with SEVERAL labels (labels follow after other labels immediately,
without text or space between).

To make things worse, I sometimes refer to the same theorem by
different labels in the text below the theorem.

Is there an easy way to remove/rename superfluous labels without
breaking document referential structure (that is a theorem should have
maximum one label)?

Multiple CopyStyle in Style

2015-06-07 Thread Victor Porton
Does it work / make sense to put multiple CopyStyle in Style (in LyX
layouts)?

I want my style Wide_Enum to have features of both Enumerate and my
other style Wide_List. Is this possible?

A long description list label

2015-06-07 Thread Victor Porton
I have a description list with a long label:

(1) ↔ (2) ↔ (3) ↔ (4) ↔ (5) ↔ (6)

If I replace numeric labels with references, it becomes yet wider and
may not fit on screen.

What to do? I need references, not just numeric labels.

I could type the labels in ERT, but can I add an ERT inside a
description list?

Raster font in amsbook

2015-06-05 Thread Victor Porton
I have just noticed that the text font for my amsbook PDF file (created
with PDFLaTeX) is raster rather than vector font :-(

Why? What I did wrongly?

BTW, the math font is vector.

Creating a new description environment

2015-05-19 Thread Victor Porton
I need to create a new environment which could work exactly as
Description with one change: It should use another LaTeX environment
(not "description"), when exporting.

Can it be done?

2015-03-20 Thread Victor Porton
What is "Preview" in "Insert" menu?

I haven't found "preview" in the docs.

Also: What is ERT?
