Re: Margins in the beginning of the chapter
I've written a documment, using the book Koma-Script class. I need to put some specific margins in my document, so I indicated the space in this option for that in my document. But my problem is that when each chapter begins (also in the index), lyx puts the name of this chapter with too muchtop margin, and not the same that I've put and that is in the page where no chapter begins. I need to change this margin, in the index as well as in the beginning of the each chapter in my document. If anyone can help me, I would really be grateful. By the way, I'm from Spain, is there any mailinglist similar to this in Spanish? Thank you. titlesec and titletoc packages allowto customize chapter, sections, index pages. Marcelo
Re: Selective page numbering...
Hi I have a fairly large table that just about fits onto one page. I prefer it to be only one one page and not split it across two pages. The problem is that the page number is displaying over the table and I would prefer it not to do that. Is there any way to get the page number not to overwrite the table or get it not to display for a specific page? in ERT \thispagestyle{empty} Marcelo
Re: underfull/ overfull badboxes
I've often been able to use \begin{sloppy} and \end{sloppy} to make LaTeX less pedantic about where to break a line, and thereby cure both these warnings and the extra space. Read this essential guide to LaTeX2e usage http://mirror.ctan.org/info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.pdf which lists among the most severe mistakes in using LaTeX2e: Section 1.8: Should I use \sloppy? (the answer is: Frankly speaking, the \sloppy switch should not be used at all.) They suggest this preamble code, which works very well for me: \tolerance 1414 \hbadness 1414 \emergencystretch 1.5em \hfuzz 0.3pt \widowpenalty=1 \vfuzz \hfuzz \raggedbottom Jürgen What is the meaning of tolerance and emergencystretch. I need a flexibilty in the page height (really text height) because I have some problems with prematures page break for a few milimeters but I don`t know how to get it. Is tolerance or emergencystretch the way for get it? Marcelo

Re: thin space is wider than regular space

Re: How I can get thin space more narrow?
Marcelo Acuña wrote: How I can redefine thin space for get it more narrow? I want to get a 0.4 * thin space but I don't know how to redefine it.

Re: ugly big blank space
AFAIK there is no out-of-the-box solution (aka some magic option) for this kind of problem that really works. If the space is just enough for an orphan/widow, but to big to be let empty, well what should LaTeX possibly do about it? Space is enough for 3 or more lines. No orphan/widow involved. Only a big blank space. IMHO this is best solved by manual fine-tuning at the very end: - I usually start with altering the size of figures and floats on the pages before the problem page. Make them slightly smaller so that an extra line would fit on the problem page or bigger, so that the empty space no longer looks that empty. - If that doesn't help, I rephrase the text so that an extra line of the otherwise orphan/widow paragraph would fit on the page. - As a last resort, if space is a real problem because I have a page limit, I start to spread negative \vspaces at certain positions. However, doing so can be a real pain. Daniel How can I reduce/enlarge a page?

I mean, under a command prompt, run python -tt /usr/local/share/lyx-1.5.0b3/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -t 221 yourfile.lyx newfile.lyx Bo With this command I can run lyx2lyx but I get several errors and I can´t get a file correctly exported. I get this message: UnicodeEncodeError: latin-1 codec can´t encode character u\u0301 in position 0: ordinal not in range(256) When in the file I deleted the character that produce error and re run lyx2lyx I get a new error with u\u2044 character and so on. When I deleted all character with problem, lyx2lyx export 99% of my file and become crazy: At the end of file lyx2lyx get error with all accented character. When I duplicate paragraph with accented character lyx2lyx get error in second paragraph while first paragraph (with accented character) is accepted. Plus, Lyx 1.5.0 beta 3 became crazy, a shadow of cursor remains in the position that cursor left. And main screen of lyx is not redraw properly. Appears error that only one or two paragraph is showed. When I deleted all accented character at the end of file, lyx2lyx stop run succesfully but when I run lyx 1.4.4 the new file appears corrupt and is truncated. Marcelo __ Preguntá. Respondé. Descubrí.

Re: LyX Outline feature - screenshot short explanation
Is there a stable 1.5.x? Does 1.5.x use the same native format as 1.4.2? Is 1.5.x as reliable and stable as 1.4.2 (meaning it never screws up)? I'm using Mandriva 2007. Anyone know how difficult it would be for me to install 1.5.x in /usr/local/bin without trashing /usr/bin/lyx, which is 1.4.2? It is not well tested, so no guaranteees. I use 1.5 daily for my writing though, and compile a new one about once a week. If I get a bad LyX this way, I just go back to the previous one. (Before installing a new test LyX, just rename the old one to a different name based on timestamp, i.e. lyx15-june12. If you compile yourself, you have the option of using a version prefix. So your tested and true lyx 1.4 will be named lyx, while you can have the experimental 1.5 named lyx15 You then write lyx15 to invoke it. This way, you can start using lyx15 for texts of less importance. You can get familiar with the new features, and find out if 1.5 is sufficiently stable for your use. And of course you can report any faults you find and get them fixed before the release. :-) Helge Hafting For me, lyx 1.5.0 rc1 is very stable for production but have several bugs.

I'm certainly no expert on this, but I'll try to answer (and I'd be happy to hear better explanations from people who know more): As far as I understand, there are a few different levels: there's the tex distribution (tetex, texlive, ...); there are different sets of macros built around tex (latex, context); and finally, there are different tex engines, which provide extensions to official tex (etex, xetex). These different engines are often also aware of the macro packages such as latex (elatex, xelatex). Specifically, xetex is meant to extend tex with true Unicode support, and also provides font handling which allows the usage of TrueType and OpenType fonts. The various distributions provide different combinations of engines and macro sets. For example, texlive provides both latex (which appears to actually be elatex?) and xelatex (and maybe more). LyX works with LaTeX. I have used lyx with tetex in the past, and currently am using it with texlive, and both worked without any problems. But in both cases, it's the *latex* that I've used with LyX I am interested in XeTeX because it promise easy font handling which allows the usage of TrueType and OpenType fonts. Add new fonts for Latex and Lyx is very dificult for me. I don´t understand instrucction for it. For me instruction look like a hot hell. XeTeX work with Lyx?

Re: Howto bold small caps with CM or LM fonts [solved]
Hello everyone, My question is just that: Is it possible to have the text displayed using the _Roman or Sans Serif_ Family and using the *Bold* Series and using the *Small Caps* shape when using the high quality Computer Modern or Latin Modern fonts? And of course, preferably within Lyx.. Some searching on the Internet revealed me that this is a known problem. This is one nice document on the shapes and series contained in the CM and LM fonts [1] (apparently, outdated). I also found this workaround, but it seems quite complex for me [2]. I also found a ConTeXt module, Bold small caps [3], but am quite ignorant how can it be used within Lyx. However, the answer to this problem is the cm-super package [4]. This is a more recent version of the Computer Modern font, that includes a wider selection of fonts. So, you either install it manually or switch from an ancient tex distribution (e.g. tetex) to TexLive-2007 (if you're on Gentoo, first check the Wiki for instructions and then emerge).

I'm working with a long document in multiple files, and I can tell you that most things do work very well: * Labels from any file may be used everywhere * You only need to include the bibliography once, etc. About ortography, I guess one of the points of having multiple files is being able to do this kind of comprobations part by part; I agree with you that word count is a problem, though. Manolo Perhaps a new feature is needed in the words counter. Like two totals, one for the whole project. Marcelo Yahoo! Cocina Encontra las mejores recetas con Yahoo!

question about family fonts
hello, If I choose Times Roman for roman font, what font I must to choose for sans serif font If I want to obtain an aesthetically coherent aspect? The same for Bookman font.

Re: question about family fonts
If I choose Times Roman for roman font, what font I must to choose for sans serif font If I want to obtain an aesthetically coherent aspect? Times is a font designed for newspapers (New York Times). Its glyphs are therefore thinner with less space between them. When you want to write a book, I could therefore not recommend Times as font. I am using two columns in the book, therefore I am interested exactly in that: glyphs thinner with less space between. To get aesthetically coherent aspect for all 3 font types, the best is to use the corresponding Latin Modern font. Yes, but encounter that font is of too thin outlines. I believe that it brings problems at the time of going to the press. The same for Bookman font. regards Uwe Regards Marcelo Yahoo! Cocina Encontra las mejores recetas con Yahoo!

Re: question about family fonts
If I choose Times Roman for roman font, what font I must to choose for sans serif font If I want to obtain an aesthetically coherent aspect? ... There is no definitive answer to this question, as there is no Times Sans. It depends on what you are after. The most used choice is a downscaled Helvetica. Although not necessarily aesthetically pleasing, it will go almost unnoticed (like Times for serif) because this is what people expect. I am using two columns in the book, therefore I am interested exactly in that: glyphs thinner with less space between. OK. The next thing to consider is, whether the sans serif should match or stand out. In the first case, a semi-serif (like Ivona) might be advisable, in the latter a contrasting shape with maybe even different grey value like Avant Gard (or the TeX Gyre variant Adventor). Thanks Guenter, but, lamentably for me, to include fonts to the Lyx is an unattainable art. Marcelo Yahoo! Cocina Encontra las mejores recetas con Yahoo! Cocina. http://ar.mujer.yahoo.com/cocina/
Re: in Koma script book: how to put pages before the title page
Thanks for the reply, Waluyo. I had managed to do this: but I am unable to put more than one line before the title without getting a compile error (No title found). what I can't do, is to put several (in fact 5) pages before my title- which is a requirement I have. Some of these pages are blank, and some contain things like cataloguing, keywords and copyright information that I am required to put there. However- and this is my problem- all must be contained in the page count, and all must come before the title page. I decided to do aside all regarding the pages of the title in a file. This one has in the preamble: \title{} \date{} Of that way I can do what wants. Then, I export this to Latex. In the main file I include that file. Regards Marcelo Yahoo!

Re: question about family fonts
Three simple steps: * Open the document in LyX and set DocumentSettingsFonts to [Default]. * find a font in the font catalogue (http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/) * Copy the Usage line(s) to DocumentSettingsLaTeX preamble This assumes that the font in question is installed in your system. Installing LaTeX fonts might be simple or not, depending on your LaTeX distribution and the particular font. (Ask again, if necessary, giving OS, LaTeX disto and font.) Thanks Günter. I have Debian Lenny with Tex-Live. I chose Libertine. I download the zip file from CTAN and put files in dir tree and run texhash. I put in preamble the Usage lines. I get a blank document with pdflatex. With DVI I get a document without accented letters and several problems. (It shines quite ugly.) Marcelo Yahoo! Cocina Encontra las mejores recetas con Yahoo!

Re: question about family fonts

For TeX font installing under Debian, see: file:/usr/share/doc/tex-common/TeX-on-Debian.html/ch4.html#s-sec-font-installation I hope this helps. Thanks Günter! It work ok! Marcelo Yahoo!

Re: linux-libertine fonts
I have installed the ttf-linux-libertine (4.4.1-4) family of fonts under Debian (using synaptics) texhash and reconfigure of LyX but can't get it under Documentsettingsfontsserif etc what am I missing?

How I can add a new button to the tool bar?
Hello, I need to make many changes in the size of the letters, and also to put bold or normal, in texts in which I must emphasize certain parts.

Re: How I can add a new button to the tool bar?
I need to make many changes in the size of the letters, and also to put bold or normal, in texts in which I must emphasize certain parts. It would help me much to have buttons such as those of emphasized and noum. How I can add them to the tool bar? Toggling bold can be done withe the shortcut Ctrl+B. The toolbar button named Font (with the small arrow below) can be used to apply changes multiple times. It takes the last settings of the text style dialog. So when you e.g. have to make 50 words bold, italic, green, highlight one word and use the text style dialog to apply the changes.l For all further words, highlight them and press the Font button. In case this method is not what you need, you can add toolbar buttons by creating PNG-images (size 24x24 Pixels or smaller). Name the image by the LyX-function it stands for (e.g. font-bold.png). In the text file stdtoolbars.inc add the toolbar button where you like it. Finally reconfigure LyX. Thanks Uwe, Olivier! I could put all the buttons who I need since the system to apply the last style was not to me useful. The unique problem that I could not solve is to have icons adapted for those buttons, since, I don´t know in which directory I must put them and whereupon name so that it takes them to Lyx. Regards.

You only need to replace the existing icons in the LyX installation subfolder lib/images with the ones of Olivier's Zip-package. Then restart LyX and that's it. regards Uwe lib/images, Ok, but, in /home/marcelo or /usr/share? I put buttons for language Spanish and English, this are new icons, What names I must put to them to these icons? Marcelo Yahoo! Cocina Encontra las mejores recetas con Yahoo!

lib/images, Ok, but, in /home/marcelo or /usr/share? In /home/marcelo/.lyx/images (maybe the .lyx is something else). The files there override the ones from /usr/share/lyx/images).

Re: Changing Default Heading Typeface in KOMA-Script Documents
I thought that I had saved instructions for changing the typeface for headings in KOMA-Script documents from san-serif to the default serif font. My search of my e-mail archive does not turn up this command. I also haven't seen an example in the KOMA-Script users guide. A clue on how to specify this in the document's preamble will be appreciated. I did that with titlesec package. Marcelo Yahoo! Cocina Encontra las mejores recetas con Yahoo!

Re: a few chapter*s between TOC and chapter 1 (NOT part of TOC)???
The sequence is the TOC followed by a tex code box containing: \mainmatter \pagenumbering{roman} Then a few short chapter*(s) That are not part of the numbered chapters. And it is not desired for them to be labeled as contents in the output And finally Chapter 1... How can I stop output from inserting the word contents into the the page header of the chapter*{s} without relocating them to before the TOC, nor after chapter 1??? I believe that the unique form to avoid the bug is to redefine the header of the page by means of an ERT after the TOC. Marcelo Yahoo! Cocina Encontra las mejores recetas con Yahoo!
