Re: Character spacing

1999-01-19 Thread Kaare Rasmussen
This is not possible directly in LyX (and often horrible to read, IMNSHO), I suspect so, but this is the publisher that put forth another strange requirement. but the french LaTeX FAQ says that you should look for the packages 'letterspace' and 'trackin'

One half

1998-12-30 Thread Kaare Rasmussen
This is really anoying: According to man latin1 the symbol for one half (½ - or 1/2 if it doesn't show up correcly on your screen) is decimal 189. As I'm using latin1 encoding I try to insert it with \symbol{189} but I only get an upside down exclamation mark. I want the slashed symbol for one

Re: One half

1998-12-30 Thread Kaare Rasmussen
Entering symbols by numbers is not a good idea since TeX does not use latin1 encoding for its output, but its own formats (OT1/T1). No, but you end up being desperate :-) It seems that the command \sfrac from the ltugboat.cls documentclass does what you want: This works very fine. Thanks a

Spacing in itemize

I need to diminish the spacing between the items in an itemize section. I thought that using paragraph layout could help, but I can't insert negative numbers in the spacing field. What can I do? -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from

Re: the famous multiline table cell

In fact I also have these problems - at first I thought that they were too much LaTeX oriented, but my local LaTeX Guru gave up, so I hope for help here. The publisher wants to have the page number in italics in the index. This was easy in the TOC, but the index is another story. I can't find

Some more (I hope last) requirements

1998-09-23 Thread Kaare Rasmussen
Oh boy. My publisher is trying to make me crazy. He's got these requirements to the book: . I chose 2 sides in the document layout because the next chapter will start on a right page. But then - how do I make the last page completely blank if there's no text? As it is now, there's top- and

Raggedright in a section

1998-09-19 Thread Kaare Rasmussen
If I try to left justify a section header, LyX produces this code: \section{\raggedright Text of section that is supposed to spand several lines} But it seems to be incorrect and LaTeX gives this error message: ! Argument of \@sect has an extra }. Is this a known problem? Can I do
