\layout Title
Inventory of your LaTeX configuration
\layout Author
Automatically generated by LyX (do not edit).
\layout Date
@chk_date@
\layout Standard
This file describes the different LaTeX add-ons that LyX can handle.
Below you'll find six sections:
\layout Enumerate
Some basic details about your LaTeX installation.
In particular, you should make sure that your version of LaTeX is recent
enough.
\layout Enumerate
Some common fonts that LyX knows about.
This is rather sparse at the moment.
\layout Enumerate
The document classes that should be standard on any LaTeX implementation.
This section is only here for completeness.
\layout Enumerate
Some optional document classes that LyX knows about.
If one of these is marked as missing (the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Found
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
item is no) and you need its functionality, you can grab it at your nearest
CTAN ftp site
\begin_inset Foot

The participating hosts in the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network are:
\layout LyX-Code
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive
\layout LyX-Code
ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive
\layout LyX-Code
ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive
\layout Standard
There are also a zillion mirror sites which are listed at the three primary
sites.
\end_inset
at the location indicated in the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
CTAN
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
item.
Note that only detected document classes can be selected as document layouts
in LyX.
\layout Enumerate
The packages that have been stamped
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
required
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
by the LaTeX maintainers.
These ones should definitely be present, but you may not have some of them
if your LaTeX distribution is a bit old.
\layout Enumerate
Some packages that LyX uses when you try to change the margins of your document.
The detection of these items does not yet affect the options available
inside LyX.
\layout Enumerate
Some common LaTeX packages that you might need with LyX, and you might also
want to add to your LaTeX installation.
The detection of these items does not yet affect the options available
inside LyX.
\layout Standard
Note that most of these packages will be available if you use a modern TeX
distribution such as teTeX.
If you decide to install one of the missing items, you should tell LyX
about it.
After the installation, please use the menu entry
\family sans
\bar under
O
\bar default
ptions\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
R
\bar default
econfigure
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
or, if you want to change the system-wide settings, issue the command
\family typewriter
./configure
\family default
from the LyX system directory (by default
\family typewriter
/usr/local/lib/lyx/
\family default
)
\end_inset
and reload this file to see if the new package was recognized.
If the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Found
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
items read
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
???
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, it means that LyX could not do the inventory of your LaTeX configuration
for some reason.
If you are using teTeX, it might be that the new package you installed
is not found.
This is because you forgot to run the command
\family typewriter
texhash
\family default
, which tells teTeX to update its own configuration.
\layout Section
LaTeX version currently in use
\layout Standard
The LaTeX version that LyX will use is:
\family typewriter
@chk_fmtversion@
\family default
.
Note that, for best results, you should be using at least LaTeX release
\family typewriter
1995/12/01
\family default
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
In case it is not clear to you, this number is the date at which the version
has been released.
\end_inset
.
In fact, earlier versions may work for many things, but will certainly
fail in some cases.
We feel that it is better to stick to a minimal version than try to work
around all the quirks of older ones.

Fonts
\layout Subsection
EC fonts
\layout Description
Found: @chk_ec@
\layout Description
CTAN:

fonts/ec
\layout Description
Notes: LaTeX does not require the use of
\family sans
ec
\family default
fonts, however they are strongly recommended.
The
\family sans
ec
\family default
fonts are available in a more natural range of sizes and allow better hyphenati
on and kerning than the old fonts such as
\family sans
cmr10
\family default
.
If you already have the so-called
\family sans

\family sans

They are used automatically if LyX determines that you have them installed.

available on PostScript<70> printers.
Currently, the support for

Changing the margins of a document is one thing people like to do.
While LaTeX offers built-in options to set the margins of the documents,
some people feel that these margins are too large and want to set them
up differently.
You can use the package
\family sans
geometry
\family default
for this purpose, but note that for the sake of readability, your lines
should not contain more than 60-70 characters.
