Re: 6.3 Short titles
Class is (for the time being as I know you advised otherwise) . I have noted to experiment with memoir :-) On Tue, 2005-06-14 at 12:38 +0200, Jean-Marc Lasgouttes wrote: > > "Bruce" == Bruce Ernest Weller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Bruce> For neatness' sake I note that the scrip below (now corrected > Bruce> in line with J-Marc's direction) over-writes the "Article XXI" > Bruce> over (under?) text of the text in the table of > Bruce> contents. > > I guess it is a limitation of the class you use.

Re: 6.3 Short titles
For neatness' sake I note that the scrip below (now corrected in line
with J-Marc's direction) over-writes the "Article XXI" over (under?)
text of the text in the table of contents.
Not a problem.
I rather like the look of my solution which was to put a hard return
before the text. Crude, perhaps, but workable and the header
text does reflect this with a space.
Again, thanks for the support.

Re: 6.3 Short titles
Ahh right! There are none so blind as they who will not look (carefully)! Corrected and it works beautifully Changed the Article to ARTICLE (for the same period flavour as the original) as a little test and learned what that bit of the code does. A step forward. I have memoir and will update the text for the changes you have shown me and then experiment as you suggest. Then to chase up the links. Lots to look forward to ---thank you, J-Marc.

Writing on the list is always better (I readded it) because:
1/ people actually learn from what we write
2/ maybe someone else will step up to help me :)

So blind that you forgot a \ before "thesection" on the second line :)

mwbk is a document class that is supposed to be tailored for books
written in Polish. I doubt this is what you want to do. If you want a
high quality and customizable class, I suggest to look up memoir. It
has a great manual that first explains how to typeset a book and
second how to use memoir commands.
Note that some memoir commands are not (yet) supported transparently
by LyX.

I think the fix I pointed above will be sufficient to get you started.
If you want to read about LaTeX, the TeXbook is definitely not the
first book to read. You could maybe try the not so short introduction
to LaTeX
http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf
or the memoir class documentation
