2015-08-10 Thread Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا

LyX tends to add spaces after fullstops. It looks a bit excessive
sometimes. How do I reduce/avoid this pls? FN

This is the so called French spacing which is common in some languages. Look 
here how to switch it off globally or for specific languages:

See this link

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_sentence_spacing

for the interesting history of spacing between sentences. One snippet:

With the advent of the typewriter in the late 19th century, French and English
typists adopted approximations of standard spacing practices to fit the
limitations of the typewriter itself. French typists used a single space
between sentences, consistent with the typeset French spacing technique,
whereas English typists used a double space.
• French spacing inserted spaces around most punctuation marks, but
single-spaced after sentences, colons, and semicolons.[3]
• English spacing removed spaces around most punctuation marks, but
double-spaced after sentences, colons, and semicolons.[4]
These approximations were taught and used as the standard typing techniques in
French and English-speaking countries.[5] For example, T. S. Eliot typed rather
than wrote the manuscript for his classic The Waste Land between 1920 and 1922,
and used only English spacing throughout: double-spaced sentences.[6]

Historically, French spacing referred to single-spacing between sentences. In
calling the command that forces this single-spacing \frenchspacing, Knuth was
following this historical terminology.

On this topic, the typographer's bible, The Elements of Typographic Style by
Robert Bringhurst, has this to say:

2.1.4 Use a single word space between sentences.

In the nineteenth century, which was a dark and inflationary age in typography
and type design, many compositors were encouraged to stuff extra space between
sentences. Generations of twentieth-century typists were then taught to do the
same, by hitting the spacebar twice after every period. Your typing as well as
your typesetting will benefit from unlearning this quaint Victorian habit. As
a general rule, no more than a single space is required after a period, a colon
or any other mark of punctuation. Larger spaces (e.g., en spaces) are
themselves punctuation.
The rule is usually altered, however, when setting classical
Latin and Greek, romanized Sanskrit, phonetics or other kinds of texts in which
sentences begin with lowercase letters. In the absences of a capital, a full
en space (M/2) between sentences will generally be welcome.

natbib/authordate extra white space after et al.

2011-10-13 Thread Simon Mushi

Hi,
 I am using Lyx 2.0.0 and have written a paper using natbib and the
authordate3 bib style. All is well, apart from et al. citations in the
body which appear with an extra whitespace before the comma and date,
i.e  (Ahrens et al. , 2000)

 How do I get rid of this space before the comma? I have tried going
in the authordate3.bst , but can't find any spurious spaces. Anyone
else having this problem?

Thanks in advance!

So you get it with authordate3 but not with any other style? If so, then

Richard,
  Coincidentally, this happens with all the authordate family of
styles, i.e. 1,2,3 and 4. Do you observe the same behaviour on your
system? Using the APA style gives Ahrens et al., 2000, which is
_correct_, but I prefered authordate3's presentation of the bib
itself.

Line 268 of authordate3.bst has the following entry

{ , {\em et~al.\}\relax * }

 no spurious spaces here...anywhere else to look?

There certainly is an extra space on that line when I open

backslash and the space that come after et~al.

Weird space after Justified line break.

2009-10-27 Thread Piero

Hello,

I use report-koma class with LyX 1.6.4
Some of my quotations are just the prolonging phrase I began in mine words.
To make an example, this is what a guy called a very elegant way of quoting.
 For longer quotations in a separate quotation enviroment,
 I would like to do the same
 but if the last line of standard enviroment text is not 
justified, it will become definitely not elegant.
That's the reason I tried to use Justified line break
at the end of last line of standard environment,
 which sometimes works well (sometimes it simple doesn't 
work at all, leaving a single word in the last line)
but always - and this is today's issue -
add an unwanted additional space between the 2 environments.
In the LaTeX preview it doesn't show any additional space,
 so maybe it is a LaTeX issue.
Is there a manner to regain this extra space (maybe insert a negative space?)
One more question: how can I anyway reduce space
 between standard and quotation 
enviroments? (there's too much space, sometimes)
And how to have the Justified LB always work without
 leaving single words or even 
single hyphenated pieces of word in the very last line?

Thanks all!

TOC spaces with alnumsec / no new page after chapter(part) / space after and before captions / one and half spacing (word)

2009-10-01 Thread Axel

Hello guys,

I've stated using lyx about two months ago, and mostly try to help myself
via internet and Koma-Script documentation, but I'm still a beginner and
lack some understanding with latex. This is a long email with a lot of
information for 4 problems. Please tell me if it would be wiser to split it
up in four emails.

For my momentary homework I'stuck with a couple of problems I can't find a
satisfying solution. I hope you can help me on these. There are some fixed
layout rules for German law homeworks, I'll need to stick to them, even
though they screw up the layout.

I use document-class: report (koma-script). The version is the repository
installed somewhat older version of koma for Ubuntu.

Problem 1:
I use the package alnumsec to change the caption numbering the way I need
it. This increases the space in the the space between number and title in
the table of contents, how can I undo this (the annex picture should clarify
my problem).

Preamble:

\usepackage{alnumsec}

\surroundarabic[(][)]{}{.}

\otherseparators{6}

\alnumsecstyle{LRnldg}

Problem 2:
As I need a lot of sections for a law homework, I need to use chapter and if
possible part as additional sections. I have a maximum space of 25 pages, so
space is limited. How can I stop chapter and part from starting a new page.

Problem 3:
Out of the same reason as Problem 2 I want to limit space before and after
all captions to the normal space between lines. My goal is font size 12,
bold, OneHalf space between lines for all captions (From part to
subparagraph).
I use smallheading as a documentclass - option upto now, but it still
takes too much space. I've tried renewcommand for the space before and after
chapter, but I'd like to understand how I can tell lyx to reduce spaces to
the OneHalf line spacing in the normal text:

\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace{-1.0cm}}

\renewcommand*{\chapterheadendvskip}{\vspace{0.5cm}}

Problem 4:
As it is required I need the OneHhalf space between all lines Open Office
and word use. Now if I use font size 12 Times Roman and OneHalf line
spacing in lyx, and Times New Roman and OneHalf line spacing in Open
Office I get different line spaces if the document is exported as a pdf. I
tried using setspace, but it didn't change to the required space:

\usepackage{setspace}

\onehalfspacing

TOC spaces with alnumsec / no new page after chapter(part) / space after and before captions / one and half spacing (word)

2009-10-01 Thread Axel

Hello guys,

I've stated using lyx about two months ago, and mostly try to help myself
via internet and Koma-Script documentation, but I'm still a beginner and
lack some understanding with latex. This is a long email with a lot of
information for 4 problems. Please tell me if it would be wiser to split it
up in four emails.

For my momentary homework I'stuck with a couple of problems I can't find a
satisfying solution. I hope you can help me on these. There are some fixed
layout rules for German law homeworks, I'll need to stick to them, even
though they screw up the layout.

I use document-class: report (koma-script). The version is the repository
installed somewhat older version of koma for Ubuntu.

Problem 1:
I use the package alnumsec to change the caption numbering the way I need
it. This increases the space in the the space between number and title in
the table of contents, how can I undo this (the annex picture should clarify
my problem).

Preamble:

\usepackage{alnumsec}

\surroundarabic[(][)]{}{.}

\otherseparators{6}

\alnumsecstyle{LRnldg}

Problem 2:
As I need a lot of sections for a law homework, I need to use chapter and if
possible part as additional sections. I have a maximum space of 25 pages, so
space is limited. How can I stop chapter and part from starting a new page.

Problem 3:
Out of the same reason as Problem 2 I want to limit space before and after
all captions to the normal space between lines. My goal is font size 12,
bold, OneHalf space between lines for all captions (From part to
subparagraph).
I use smallheading as a documentclass - option upto now, but it still
takes too much space. I've tried renewcommand for the space before and after
chapter, but I'd like to understand how I can tell lyx to reduce spaces to
the OneHalf line spacing in the normal text:

\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace{-1.0cm}}

\renewcommand*{\chapterheadendvskip}{\vspace{0.5cm}}

Problem 4:
As it is required I need the OneHhalf space between all lines Open Office
and word use. Now if I use font size 12 Times Roman and OneHalf line
spacing in lyx, and Times New Roman and OneHalf line spacing in Open
Office I get different line spaces if the document is exported as a pdf. I
tried using setspace, but it didn't change to the required space:

\usepackage{setspace}

\onehalfspacing

Is this a known problem? Otherwise I'll just set the line spacing to an
individual distance, after visual judgement.

An extra space after hyperlinks in PDF

2009-05-25 Thread Dan Phan

I use hyperref to generate clickable links in PDFs file, but I got extra
spaces after many, but not all, of my links. That means an end of sentence
period or comma may end up in another line, which is very ugly.
Is this a Latex or LyX problem? How do I resolve it?

Thanks

 1. Put the vspace at the end of the paragraph containing
 the math, rather than in the beginning of the next paragraph.
this just adds space before the math

 you'll have to add a paragraph spacing distance to the
 negative distance to make up for the extra paragraph.
this sounds like a good idea, thanks

Insert-vertical space seems to work for me. At least when
I overdo the distance by using -2cm. Line spacing in text
paragraphs is consistent, and the distance between math
and text decrease.

Things to try:
1. Put the vspace at the end of the paragraph containing
   the math, rather than in the beginning of the next paragraph.
2. If that don't help, try adding a paragraph after the math
   that contains the vspace command and nothing else.  Perhaps
   you'll have to add a paragraph spacing distance to the
   negative distance to make up for the extra paragraph.

I took a look in Herbert Voss's excellent Mathmode guide 
(ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/info/math/voss/mathmode/Mathmode.pdf). 
I think you can do this by changing \abovedisplayskip and 
\belowdisplayskip, which govern space above/below a displayed equation 
that would otherwise overlap the previous/next line, and 
\abovedisplayshortskip and \belowdisplayshortskip, which do the same 
when the last/next line is short and would not overlap the equation text.


I'm not positive, but I believe you need to make the changes in ERT in 
the body of the document.  I tried them in the preamble and they had no 
effect, but they worked as expected in the document body.  For instance 
(in ERT):


\abovedisplayskip=2pt
\belowdisplayskip=2pt
\abovedisplayshortskip=2pt
\belowdisplayshortskip=2pt

Note that these changes remain in effect until you reset them.
