Algorithm float on more pages

2009-05-21 Thread Vito De Tullio
Hi all.

I'm using LyX, and I'm stucked in a problem: I'm inserting pseudo-code (with
some math elements inside) in a algorithm float.
When I print / create a pdf the float it's bigger than the page, but it
doesn't automatically "split" itself.

Is there a way to tell the float that it's off the border?

as an alternative to the listings package, I suggest texments_: may be not
as integrate as the listings in LyX, but I prefer a little more "colorful"
approach to the source highlights.

could you please be a little more specific?
I read the entire manual, but I cannot find a section where it's exposed how
to force certain passes.
At the best I found the chapter 8 (external material) but I have not
*external* material... (It's all in one single .lyx file)

the problem is: how can I tell lyx that, using my .module, it will not
generate a .pdf (but 2)?

normally the workflow is (semplifying a lot)
.lyx -> (implicit?) -> .tex -> (pdflatex) -> .pdf
I want
 ,->(pdflatex)-frn.tex->(pdflatex)->-frn.pdf.
.lyx->(different?)->.tex++->.pdf

mmm
I don't know how "clean" this solution is, but I think I find a way...
http://github.com/ZeeD/frontespizio
basically I use the "OutputType" directive (no documentation about, I just
found this in some .layout files) to tell lyx that I'm *not* gonna create a
simple .tex file...
then I tell lyx that, to generate the pdf, I must run the 3 passes... but

1) Can I use a custom OutputType? LyX tells me:

LyX: Unknown output type `frontispiece' [around line 9 of file
~/.lyx/layouts/frontespizio.module current token: 'frontispiece'
context: '']

2) How can I tell lyx to generate the .tex? Now I use an *ugly* command to
convert directly from lyx (with Frontespizio) to pdf:

\format "frontispiece" "" "Frontespizio" "" "" "" "document"
\converter "frontispiece" "pdflatex" "lyx -e pdflatex \"$$i.lyx\" &&
pdflatex \"$$o\" && pdflatex \"$$i-fnt.tex\" && pdflatex \"$$o\"" ""

I think this is resolved, using: ClassOptions Other titlepage End

I did not find any suggestion on the web
does this make sense? can a .module say something like that to lyx?

on http://github.com/ZeeD/frontespizio/ I set up a little git repo to the
file, if anyone can help me.

help me with a layout module, please!

2009-04-05 Thread Vito De Tullio
I'm making a small layout module around the package "frontespizio"
(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/frontespizio/), but
I'm a novice, and I need help.
I need to know if (and how!) is possible to:

1) force the documentclass (book, article) to use the titlepage ambient.
2) tell lyx that, to generate the pdf (via pdflatex), it must do 3 passes
   (pass 0): generate the FILE.tex from FILE.lyx (as all documents, I think)
   (pass 1): pdflatex FILE.tex (as all documents?)
   (pass 2): pdflatex FILE-frn.tex (this file is auto-generated!)
   (pass 3): pdflatex FILE.tex (include the FILE-frn.pdf)
