Hi all,
For the first time I must maintain a book as an eBook AND a pBook. You can't
really use the same PDF for both...
The pBook must have gutter margins to make up for the binding, so the left and
right margin will be different and switch places between even and odd pages.

Hello LyXers,
a new version of the alternative Windows installer for LyX is available. This version comes with
MiKTeX 2.8 and the latest Python and ImageMagick to be able to install LyX under Windows 7.
Moreover this version brings a new feature: It includes eLyXer, a LyX to HTML converter. Af

Since I've been playing with this for the past few days, I thought I would
offer my findings so far.
SVG can also be used to wrap bitmap images, but I wouldn't recommend it.
For the professional writing book, I've been experimenting with support for
the different formats and trying t
I get great PDF output, that can be scaled to
any size. The only thing I did was to set the encoding
to OT1. If you don't use international characters, that
should enable LaTeX to use vector fonts.

It isn't. As Helge said, it's pretty useful if you need some pixel
graphics with relatively large areas of similar colors like screenshots.
It is relatively small and has lossless compression. For Photos, jpeg is
better but has lossy

It's not. It's bit-mapped, or raster.

Looks like the same problem I had last week (in my case, Kubuntu 9.10 X86_64).

Yes. Roman is set to Palatino, and Sans to [Default]. It makes no
