\begin_layout Chapter
Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This manual is essentially Part II of the
\emph on
User's Guide\SpecialChar endofsentence
\emph default
The reason for separating the two documents is simple: the
\emph on
User's Guide
\emph default
is already quite lengthy, and it contains information on all of the basic
features one needs to know in order to prepare most documents.
However, the \SpecialChar LyX
Team has worked to make \SpecialChar LyX
extensible through various configuration
files and external packages.
That means that if you want to support the Fizzwizzle \SpecialChar LaTeX
package, you can
create a layout file (or module) for it without having to alter \SpecialChar LyX
itself.
We've already had contributions of several new features this way, and some
of them are documented here.
There are also some more `advanced' features, such as how to control the
presentation of bibliographies and how to work with multi-part documents,
that are not covered in the
\emph on
User's Guide
\emph default
and are discussed here.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This manual also documents some special features, like fax support, version
control, and SGML support, which require additional software to work properly.
There is also a chapter on \SpecialChar LyX
's support for HTML.
And lastly, there's a chapter of \SpecialChar LaTeX
tools and tips, things you can use to
spruce up your documents by directly using the powerful features of \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
After all, \SpecialChar LyX
\emph on
is
\emph default
only WYSIWYM and will only ever interface to some, not all, \SpecialChar LaTeX
features.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you haven't read the
\emph on
Introduction
\emph default
yet, you are definitely in the wrong manual.
The
\emph on
Introduction
\emph default
is the first place to go, since it describes the notation and format of
all of the manuals.
You should also be thoroughly familiar with the
\emph on
User's Guide
\emph default
and all of the basic features of \SpecialChar LyX
before attempting to read this one.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Since many of the topics in this manual depend heavily on \SpecialChar LyX
's interaction
with \SpecialChar LaTeX
, this first chapter covers the inner workings of \SpecialChar LyX
and how to direct
\SpecialChar LyX
to generate exactly the \SpecialChar LaTeX
code you want.
It is obviously for more seasoned \SpecialChar LyX
users.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Chapter
\SpecialChar LyX
and \SpecialChar LaTeX
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
How \SpecialChar LyX
Uses \SpecialChar LaTeX
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This chapter is for both \SpecialChar TeX
-nicians and the \SpecialChar LaTeX
-curious.
In it, we'll explain how \SpecialChar LyX
and \SpecialChar LaTeX
work together to produce printable output.
This is the only place in any of the manuals where we assume you know something
about \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
At one time, \SpecialChar LyX
was called a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
WYSIWYM frontend to \SpecialChar LaTeX
,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
but that's no longer true.
There are frontends to \SpecialChar LaTeX
out there.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Some familar ones are \SpecialChar TeX
maker and kile, on Linux, and \SpecialChar TeX
shop, OSX.
There are also the \SpecialChar LaTeX
modes for vi and emacs, of course.
\end_layout
\end_inset
These are basically text editors with the ability to run \SpecialChar LaTeX
and mark any
errors in the file you're editing.
Although \SpecialChar LyX
\emph on
is
\emph default
an editor, and it
\emph on
does
\emph default
run \SpecialChar LaTeX
, and it also indicates errors in the file, it also does much, much
more.
For one thing, you don't need to know \SpecialChar LaTeX
to use \SpecialChar LyX
effectively.
And \SpecialChar LyX
has added its own extensions to \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
Try the following sometime: select
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Export\SpecialChar menuseparator
LaTeX
\end_layout
\end_inset
from the
\begin_inset Flex Noun

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
View\SpecialChar menuseparator
Source
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Pane
\end_layout
\end_inset
), then look at the preamble of the resulting
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
.tex
\end_layout
\end_inset
file.
You'll notice a variety of new macros defined specifically by \SpecialChar LyX
.
These macros are defined automatically, according to the features you use
in the document.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are several commands that automatically invoke \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
They are:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
View
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout

\begin_inset Flex Noun

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
They will only invoke \SpecialChar LaTeX
if the file has changed since the last time \SpecialChar LaTeX
was
run.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When \SpecialChar LyX
runs \SpecialChar LaTeX
on the file you're editing, it performs these steps:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Convert the document to \SpecialChar LaTeX
and save to a file with the extension
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
.tex
\end_layout
\end_inset
in place of
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
.lyx
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Run \SpecialChar LaTeX
on the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
.tex
\end_layout
\end_inset
file (maybe several times), and run any other commands (such as
\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout
bibtex
\end_layout
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
makeindex
\end_layout
\end_inset
) needed to compile the \SpecialChar LaTeX
file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
If there are any errors, show the error log.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

View\SpecialChar menuseparator

then runs a DVI viewer to display the DVI-file.

\end_layout
\end_inset
to convert the DVI file to PostScript.
\end_layout

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
does similar things when viewing, or exporting, other formats.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Translating \SpecialChar LaTeX
files into \SpecialChar LyX
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can import a \SpecialChar LaTeX
file into \SpecialChar LyX
by using the
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
File\SpecialChar menuseparator
Import\SpecialChar menuseparator

\end_layout
\end_inset
command in \SpecialChar LyX
.
This will call a program named
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
tex2lyx
\end_layout
\end_inset
which will create a file
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
foo.lyx
\end_layout
\end_inset
from the file
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
foo.tex
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
\SpecialChar LyX
will then open that file.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
tex2lyx
\end_layout
\end_inset
can also be run from the command line, of course.
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
tex2lyx
\end_layout
\end_inset
will translate most legal \SpecialChar LaTeX
, but not everything.
It will put things it doesn't understand into \SpecialChar TeX
code, so after translating
a file with
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
tex2lyx
\end_layout
\end_inset
, you can look for \SpecialChar TeX
code and hand-edit it until it looks right.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you don't know what \SpecialChar TeX
code is, read the next section.

Inserting \SpecialChar TeX
Code into \SpecialChar LyX
Documents
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Anything you can do in \SpecialChar LaTeX
you can do in \SpecialChar LyX
, for a very simple reason: You can
always insert \SpecialChar TeX
code into any \SpecialChar LyX
document.
\SpecialChar LyX
cannot, and will never be able to, display every possible \SpecialChar LaTeX
construct.
If ever you need to insert \SpecialChar LaTeX
commands into your \SpecialChar LyX
document, you can use the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\SpecialChar TeX
Code
\end_layout
\end_inset
box, which you can insert into your document with
\begin_inset Flex Noun

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
\family sans

\family default

\end_layout
\end_inset
or the keyboard shortcut
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "ert-insert"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Here's an example of inserting \SpecialChar LaTeX
commands in a \SpecialChar LyX
document.
The code looks like this:
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
\backslash
begin{tabular}{ll}
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\backslash
begin{minipage}{5cm}
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
This is an example of a minipage environment.
You
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
can put nearly everything in it, even (non-floating)
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
figures and tables.
\begin_inset Newline newline

\end_layout
\end_inset
\begin_inset VSpace bigskip
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In addition to using \SpecialChar TeX
code, you can also create a separate file containing
some complex \SpecialChar LaTeX
structure and then use
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Child
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Document
\end_layout
\end_inset
to include your file (you should select the type
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Input
\end_layout
\end_inset
).
We recommend that you only do this if you have a
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
.tex
\end_layout
\end_inset
file which you
\emph on
know
\emph default
works already.
Otherwise, you'll have a big job tracking down \SpecialChar LaTeX
errors.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are a few last points to emphasize:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\SpecialChar LyX
\emph on
does not
\emph default
check if your \SpecialChar LaTeX
code is correct.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Beware of reinventing the wheel.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
On that last point, \SpecialChar LyX
does have quite a few features tucked into it, and
more are coming.
Be sure to check the manuals to make sure that \SpecialChar LyX
doesn't have such-and-such
feature before you decide you have to do it by hand.
Moreover, there are numerous \SpecialChar LaTeX
packages out there to do all sorts of things,
from labels to envelopes to fancy multipage tables.
Check out
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "CTAN"
target "http://www.ctan.org/"
literal "false"
\end_inset
for details.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you do need to do some wild and fancy things within your document, be
sure to check out a good \SpecialChar LaTeX
book for assistance.
There are a number of them listed in the bibliography of the
\emph on
User's Guide
\emph default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
\SpecialChar LyX
and the \SpecialChar LaTeX
Preamble
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
About the \SpecialChar LaTeX
Preamble
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you already know \SpecialChar LaTeX
, there is no need to explain here what the preamble
is good for.
If you don't, the following will give you some ideas—we recommend again
that you consult a \SpecialChar LaTeX
book for further information.
In any case, you should read the points below, because they explain what
you can do and what you don't need to do in the \SpecialChar LaTeX
preamble of a \SpecialChar LyX
document.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The \SpecialChar LaTeX
preamble comes at the very beginning of a document,
\emph on
before
\emph default
the text.
It serves to:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Declare the document class.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\SpecialChar LyX
already does this for you.
If you're a seasoned \SpecialChar LaTeX
-nician, and you have a custom document class you
want to use, check out the
\emph on
Customization Manual
\emph default
for information on how to make \SpecialChar LyX
interface to it.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Declare the usage of packages.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\SpecialChar LaTeX
packages provide special commands, which are only available within a document
when the package has been declared in the preamble.
In addition to providing special commands, the inclusion of a package can
change the document.
For example, the package
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
indentfirst
\end_layout
\end_inset
forces all paragraphs to be indented.
There are other packages for labels, envelopes, margins, etc.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Set counters, variables, lengths and widths.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
There are several \SpecialChar LaTeX
counters and variables that
\emph on
must
\emph default
be set globally from within the preamble in order to have the desired effect.
(There are variables that you can set and reset inside the document, too.)
Margins are a good example of something that must be set in the preamble.
Another example is the label format for lists.
You can actually set these just about anywhere, but it's best to do it
just once, inside the preamble.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Declare user defined commands (with
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
newcommand
\end_layout
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
renewcommand
\end_layout
\end_inset
).
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
These are abbreviations for \SpecialChar LaTeX
commands which appear very often inside a document.
Although the preamble is a good place to declare such commands, they
\emph on
can
\emph default
be declared anywhere (before they are used for the first time, of course).
This can be useful if there is a lot of raw \SpecialChar LaTeX
code in your document, which
normally should not be the case.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
adds its own set of definitions to the preamble of the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
.tex
\end_layout
\end_inset
file it produces.
This makes \SpecialChar LaTeX
files generated by \SpecialChar LyX
portable.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Changing the Preamble
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The commands which \SpecialChar LyX
adds to the preamble of a \SpecialChar LaTeX
file are fixed; you can't
change them without patching \SpecialChar LyX
itself.
You can, however, add your own stuff to the preamble by selecting
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\SpecialChar LaTeX
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Preamble
\end_layout
\end_inset
in the
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings
\end_layout
\end_inset
dialog.
\SpecialChar LyX
adds anything in the
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Preamble
\end_layout
\end_inset
dialog to its own built-in preamble.
Before adding your own declarations in the preamble, you should make sure
that \SpecialChar LyX
doesn't already support what you want to do.
(Remember what we said about reinventing the wheel?) Also,
\emph on
make sure your preamble code is correct
\emph default
.
\SpecialChar LyX
doesn't check it for you.
If there is an error, you're likely to get an error like
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Missing
\backslash
begin{document}
\end_layout
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
If you see this error, check your preamble.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Examples
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Here are some examples of what you can add to a preamble, and what they
do.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Example #1: Offsets
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are two variables under \SpecialChar LaTeX
that control page position:
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
hoffset
\end_layout
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
voffset
\end_layout
\end_inset
.

Suppose your left and top margins are always 0.5

Example #2: Labels
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Speaking of labels, suppose you wanted to print out a bunch of address labels.
There's a rather nice package, available at your nearest CTAN archive,
for printing sheets of labels:
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
labels.sty
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
Now, your system may not have this package installed by default.
We leave that up to you to check.
You'll also want to read the documentation for it; we're not going to do
that for you.
Since this is an example, however, we'll give you an example of how you
use this package.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
First, make sure you're using the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
article
\end_layout
\end_inset
document class.
Next, you need to put the following in your preamble:
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
\backslash
usepackage{labels}
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
\backslash
LabelCols=3
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This sets things up for Avery label sheets, stock #5360.
You're now ready to print labels, but you'll need to insert \SpecialChar LaTeX
code, placing
the commands
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_layout
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_inset
around each label text.
This and other special features of
\begin_inset Flex Code

labels.sty
\end_layout

are explained in its documentation.

layout file to support this package directly.
Maybe that someone is you.

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Example #3: Paragraph Indentation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Americans are trained to indent the first line of
\emph on
every
\emph default
paragraph.
As with all of their other weird quirks, most Americans will whine and
moan until they can have their way and indent the first line of all paragraphs.
(Yes, we're joking.
(We are?)
\emph on
Yeah
\emph default
, we are.)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Of course, this behavior isn't standard typography.
In books, you typically only indent the first line of a paragraph
\emph on
if
\emph default
it follows another one.
The idea behind indenting the first line of a paragraph is to distinguish
neighboring paragraphs from one another.
If there is no previous paragraph—for example, if it follows a figure or
is the first paragraph in a section—then there is no need for indentation.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you're a typical American (we're still joking!), though, you don't care
about such esoteric things; you want your indentation! Add this to the
preamble:
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
\backslash
usepackage{indentfirst}
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If your \SpecialChar TeX
distribution isn't braindead, you'll have this package, and all
of your paragraphs will get the indentation the Founding Fathers intended
they should have.

\begin_layout Section
\SpecialChar LyX
and \SpecialChar LaTeX
Errors
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When \SpecialChar LyX
calls \SpecialChar LaTeX
, it tells \SpecialChar LaTeX
to blithely ignore any errors and keep going.
It then uses the logfile from the \SpecialChar LaTeX
run to do a post-mortem.
After analyzing the logfile, \SpecialChar LyX
displays a dialog listing the errors.
Clicking on any one of them will take you to the position in your \SpecialChar LyX
file
where the error occurred.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Well, usually.
Analyzing the logfile is a tough job, and \SpecialChar LyX
doesn't always go to the right
line.
There are also cases where \SpecialChar LaTeX
reports the error on one line, but the actual
error is earlier.
This is not unlike forgetting a closing brace in a program: You'll get
an error, but only later.
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Some folks also like to look at the log file directly: It is available from

\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
If you didn't add anything to the preamble and didn't add any \SpecialChar LaTeX
code to the
document, the first suspect is your \SpecialChar LaTeX
distribution itself.
Check for missing packages and install them.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Okay, so there are no missing packages.
Did you use any of the fine-tuning options in \SpecialChar LyX

any of them, like trying to manually insert lots of

? Did you try to kludge something together with these instead of using the
appropriate paragraph environment?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
All right, you didn't use any of the fine-tuning options, you played by
the rules.
Did you try to pull a fancy maneuver? Did you do something funky inside
a table or an equation, like inserting a graphic into a table cell?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Do you have long sections of text where \SpecialChar LaTeX
cannot find a place to break a
line? By default, \SpecialChar LaTeX
is rather strict about how much extra inter-word spacing
it will add in order to break a line.
Preferably, you should rework the paragraph to avoid the problem.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Did you go overboard with the nesting? \SpecialChar LyX
(currently) doesn't check to make
sure you're in the limits for nesting environments.
If you nested a bunch of environments to the
\begin_inset Formula $17^{\mathrm{th}}$
\end_inset
level, that's the problem.
(The limit in \SpecialChar LaTeX
is five.)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Okay, you didn't get any error messages, but your output looks awful.
If you have a table or figure that's too wide or long for the page, you
need to:
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
rescale the figure so it fits.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
trim down the table so it fits.
\end_layout

If something else is wrong with the output, and you didn't try to pull anything
fancy or kludge the fine-tuning options, we're not sure what's wrong.

\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
[12]

) to refer to a cited work.
However, in many scientific disciplines, other citation styles are in use.
The most common one is the author-year style (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}

g.

\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes eld

If you want to have full control over the formatting or look for advanced

English, you should definitely consider
\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
Unfortunately, Bib\SpecialChar TeX
itself does not allow you to do this.
But with the help of some \SpecialChar LaTeX
packages, Bib\SpecialChar TeX
can be extended to fit your needs.

The advantage of this package (compared to other packages such as
\family typewriter
multibib
\family default
) is that you don't need to define new citation commands.
Instead, you need to prepare different bibliographic databases which include
the entries for the different sections of the bibliography.
For example: If you want to divide your bibliography into the sections
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Sources
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Scientific works
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, you first need to create two bibliographic databases, e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset

\begin_inset Flex Code

Bibliography
\end_layout
\end_inset
the option
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Subdivided bibliography
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
Now you can insert multiple Bib\SpecialChar TeX
bibliographies, one for each section of
your bibliography.
Returning to our example: Insert the Bib\SpecialChar TeX
bibliography
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
sources.bib
\end_layout
\end_inset
and a second one for the database
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
scientific.bib
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
You are free to use the same or different styles for each section.
Additionally, you can choose if the bibliography section should contain
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
all cited references
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
of the specified database(s) (which is the default),
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
all uncited references
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or even
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
all references
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
This might be useful if you would like to separate your bibliography into
three sections:
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Cited sources
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Uncited sources
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Scientific works
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
The titles for the sections can be added as ordinary sections or subsections.
Since
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
bibtopic
\end_layout
\end_inset
removes the bibliography title, you have to manually re-add that, too (as
a chapter* or section*, for instance).

Note that this approach has some limitations.
First, every citation reference has to be inside some
\begin_inset Flex Code

So citations outside a defined unit (e.

g., before the first section if you use

You can also create your own units by entering

\begin_layout Section
Multipart Documents
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
General Operation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When you are working on a large file with many sections, it is often convenient
to break up the document into several files, or perhaps you have something
where a table may change from time to time, but the preceding text does
not.
In these cases, you should seriously consider using multipart documents.
For example, scientific papers often have five major sections: the introduction
, observations, results, discussion, and conclusion.
Each of these could be its own separate \SpecialChar LyX
file, with one
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
master
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
file which contains the title, authors, abstract, references, etc., plus
the five included files.
It is important to note that each of these files is a full \SpecialChar LyX
file which
can be formatted and printed on its own, as well as included in a master
file.
Each of these files must have the same document class, however—don't attempt
to mix book classes with article classes.
You may also include \SpecialChar LaTeX
files; however, these files must not have their own
preamble (i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
everything up to and including the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed

\end_inset
line as well as the
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_layout
\end_inset
line must be deleted) or else errors will be generated when you try to
make a DVI file.

\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX

When you click on this selection a small box is inserted into the file
at the current cursor location.
Clicking on the box raises a dialog which allows you to select the file
to be included, and the method of its inclusion.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The file selection box should by now be obvious.
The three inclusion methods are
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
include
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
input
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
verbatim
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
The difference between
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
include
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
input
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is really only meaningful to \SpecialChar LaTeX
perts, but the practical difference is that
files that are
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
included
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
are typeset beginning on a new page, while files that are
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
inputted
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
are typeset starting on the current page.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Generally, the master file is converted into a full \SpecialChar LaTeX
file before typesetting,
while the included files are converted to \SpecialChar LaTeX
files that do not have all the
preamble information.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A
\begin_inset Quotes eld

Copy the bibliography list with all entries to all subdocuments and transform
them to a comment.
This way \SpecialChar LyX
will find the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
.bib
\end_layout
\end_inset
-files and you can easily insert references without making the bibliography
list visible.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As the bibliography list is in a comment, \SpecialChar LaTeX
won't use it and the references
will look like this: [?], instead of like this: [1].
One solution is to use the \SpecialChar LaTeX
-package
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
comment
\end_layout
\end_inset
that will only include comments by processing the files separately.
To do this, add in the \SpecialChar LaTeX

The thicknesses of the horizontal rules drawn beneath the header and above
the footer can also be modified.
If you don't want one of the rules, set its thickness to 0.
The header rule has a default thickness of 0.4pt, the footer rule is 0pt.
Use commands

\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
provides 216 bullet shapes that can be accessed from a simple dialog.
Using this dialog you can easily specify what bullet shape to use at each
level of an itemized list.
These settings are document-wide so you won't be able to specify different
sets of bullets for different paragraphs.

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The dialog provides you with a table of bullet shapes.
A column of buttons on the left of the table provides access to the six
different panels of bullet shapes.
The row of buttons across the top is used to select which bullet depth
you are changing.
A text entry under the table shows the currently selected bullet shape's
\SpecialChar LaTeX
equivalent and this can be edited if desired.
If you do modify the text you will also need to specify any needed packages
in the \SpecialChar LaTeX
preamble.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The six panels are divided up by the packages they require.
The following table shows the mappings from button name to \SpecialChar LaTeX
package.

\begin_layout Chapter
\SpecialChar LyX
and the World Wide Web
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
has long supported the export of documents to various web-friendly formats,
such as HTML.
Before verson 2.0, however, HTML export was always accomplished by the use
of external converters.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
For details on the use of external converters with \SpecialChar LyX
, see the
\emph on
Converters
\emph default
section of the Customization manual.
\end_layout
\end_inset
These fall into two large groups: there are converters that use \SpecialChar LaTeX
as an
intermediate format, such as
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
htlatex
\end_layout
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
html2latex
\end_layout
\end_inset
, and
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
plastex
\end_layout
\end_inset
, relying upon \SpecialChar LyX
to produce the \SpecialChar LaTeX
; and there is a converter that works directly
on \SpecialChar LyX
files,
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
e\SpecialChar LyX
er
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
All of these have different advantages and disadvantages.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The \SpecialChar LaTeX
-based converters have the advantage that, in principle, they know everythin
g about the exported document that \SpecialChar LaTeX
does.
Such converters do not care, for example, if a certain block of code was
produced by \SpecialChar LyX
or was Evil Red Text.
These converters know about
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
aux
\end_layout
\end_inset
files, counters, and references, and can often make use of the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
bbl
\end_layout
\end_inset
files generated by Bib\SpecialChar TeX
.
On the other hand, \SpecialChar LaTeX
is a very hard language to parse—it is sometimes said
that only \SpecialChar TeX
itself understands \SpecialChar TeX
—and \SpecialChar LaTeX
-based converters will often choke on
what seem to be quite simple constructs; complex ones can throw them completely
, and as of this writing, for example, the
\emph on
Embedded Objects
\emph default
manual will not export with
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
htlatex
\end_layout
\end_inset
, though the others will.
The other issue concerns how math is handled.
These converters typically convert the formulae into little pictures that
are then linked from the HTML document.
Since these are actually generated by \SpecialChar LaTeX
, they are accurate.
But they do not scale well, and just getting them to look as if they are
actually meant to be in your document—so that the font sizes seem to be
roughly the same—can be a challenge.

In particular, the formulae it produces scale perfectly, since it renders
math using a combination of HTML and CSS rather than converting the formulae
to images.
But even moderately complex formula are rendered less well than with
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
; this reflects the limitations of HTML.

\end_layout

More importantly (as of version 1.1.1, at least),
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
e\SpecialChar LyX
er
\end_layout
\end_inset
has limited support for math macros and no support for user-defined paragraph
or character styles.
These limitations make
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
e\SpecialChar LyX
er
\end_layout
\end_inset
unsuitable for many of the documents \SpecialChar LyX
users produce.
In principle, of course, these problems could be solved, but the \SpecialChar LyX
developers
have decided to follow a different path and have made \SpecialChar LyX
itself capable of
writing XHTML, just as it is capable of writing \SpecialChar LaTeX
, DocBook, and plaintext.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As of this writing, XHTML output remains under development and should probably

See also the list of XHTML bugs on

literal "false"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\end_inset
Still, the developers have chosen this approach because it has several
potential advantages over the other two.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
These advantages are primarily due to the fact that the XHTML output routines,
since they are part of \SpecialChar LyX
, know everything \SpecialChar LyX
knows about the document being
exported.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Another advantage is that, since these routines are internal to \SpecialChar LyX
, they are
immune to changes in \SpecialChar LyX
's file format, or to changes in the semantics of
existing insets.
\end_layout
\end_inset
So they know about the table of contents (as displayed in the outline),
about the counters associated with different paragraph styles, and about
user-defined styles.
The XHTML output routines know what \SpecialChar LyX
knows about internationalization,
too, so they will output
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Chapter 1
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\lang ngerman
Kapitel
\lang english
1
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, depending upon the language in effect at the time.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Quite generally, the output routines know what \SpecialChar LyX
knows about document layout,
that is, about how the document is to be rendered on screen.
We use this information when we output the document as XHTML.
In particular, \SpecialChar LyX
\emph on
automatically
\emph default
generates CSS style information corresponding to the layout information
it uses to render the document on screen: if section headings are supposed
to be sans-serif and bold as seen in \SpecialChar LyX
, then (by default) they will be sans-seri
f and bold when viewed in a web browser, too.
And this is true not just for pre-defined styles, like Section, but for
any style, including user-defined styles.
Indeed, the XHTML output routines make no distinction between user-defined
paragraph and character styles and \SpecialChar LyX
's own pre-defined styles: in each case,
everything \SpecialChar LyX
knows about the styles is contained in the layout files.
And much the same is true as regards pre-defined textual insets, such as
footnotes, and various custom insets.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The result is that XHTML output can be customized and extended in exactly
the same way \SpecialChar LaTeX
output can be customized and extended: through layout files
and modules.
See chapter five of the
\emph on
Customization
\emph default
manual for the details.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The remainder of this chapter contains more detailed information on XHTML
output, its limitations, and ways to work around those limitations.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Math Output in XHTML
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
offers four choices for how math is rendered.
These have various advantages and disadvantages:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
MathML
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
MathML is a dialect of XML designed specifically for mathematics on the
web, and it typically renders very well in browsers that support it.
The disadvantage is that not all browsers support MathML, and support is
not complete even in the Gecko-based browsers, such as Firefox.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
If \SpecialChar LyX
is unable to render a formula as MathML—for example, if the formula
uses the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
xymatrix
\end_layout
\end_inset
package or ERT—then it will instead output the formula as an image.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
HTML
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
As mentioned above,
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
elyxer
\end_layout
\end_inset
outputs math as HTML, styled by CSS.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\SpecialChar LyX
has borrowed some of the CSS for its HTML output from
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
elyxer
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\end_inset
For simple formulae, this can work quite well, though with more complicated
formulae it tends to break down.
Still, this method has the advantage that it is very widely supported and
so it may be appropriate for documents that contain only a little, fairly
simple math.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
If Lyx is unable to render a formula as HTML—for example, if the formula
uses the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
xymatrix
\end_layout
\end_inset
package or ERT—then it will instead output the formula as an image.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Images
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
Like
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
htlatex
\end_layout
\end_inset
, \SpecialChar LyX
will output formulae as images, the very same images, in fact, that are
used for instant preview.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Instant preview does
\emph on
not
\emph default
have to be on for images to be output, however.
\end_layout
\end_inset
The advantage to this method is that the images are simply generated by
\SpecialChar LaTeX
, so they are very accurate.
The disadvantage, as mentioned earlier, is that these are bitmapped images,
so they do not scale terribly well, and one cannot copy them, etc.
(As of this writing, there are also problems about equation numbering.
See
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "bug 6894"
target "http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6894"
literal "false"
\end_inset
.)
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
The size of the images can be controlled by setting the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

For those who want to know, this controls the resolution of the image in
dots per inch and is based upon a default of 75 dpi.
\end_layout
\end_inset
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
If \SpecialChar LyX
for some reason fails to create an image for a formula (e.g., if a required
\SpecialChar LaTeX
package is not installed), then it will fall back to outputing the raw
\SpecialChar LaTeX
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\SpecialChar LaTeX
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
Finally, \SpecialChar LyX
will happily output math as \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
As well as being the output of last resort, this method can be used with
such tools as
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "jsMath"
target "http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/"
literal "false"
\end_inset
, which uses JavaScript to render \SpecialChar LaTeX
embedded in HTML documents.
\SpecialChar LyX
wraps the \SpecialChar LaTeX
in either a
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
span
\end_layout
\end_inset
(for inline formulas) or
\begin_inset Flex Code

\end_inset
(for displayed formulas) with
\begin_inset Flex Code

By default, \SpecialChar LyX
outputs MathML.
This is a document-wide setting, therefore.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Eventually, \SpecialChar LyX
will offer the user the option to select an alternate output
method for a particular inset, say, one that isn't being rendered very
well by MathML.
\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Plain Layout
That said, since \SpecialChar LyX
falls back to images if the inset contains ERT, then one
can force output as an image by putting some harmless ERT into the math,
for example:
\begin_inset Formula $a=b\relax$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Bibliography and Citations
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
XHTML output fully supports bibliographies and citations.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Citation labels are generated by the same machinery that generates \SpecialChar LyX
's on-screen
labels, so the labels will look in the output much as they do in \SpecialChar LyX
, though
better.
If you are using numerical citations, then \SpecialChar LyX
will output numerical labels,
such as [1] or [17], rather than simply showing the citation key in square
brackets, as it does on-screen.
If you are using author-year citations, then \SpecialChar LyX
will add lowercase letters
to the years, just as Bib\SpecialChar TeX
does, if it finds more than one citation for
a given author-year combination.
The labels will be printed with the bibliography entries.
Note that there is, at present, no way to customize the appearance of the
labels, for example, to choose between square brackets and parentheses.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Bibliography output is handled by the same machinery that handles the presentati
on of reference information in the citation dialog, so you will see in the
XHTML output pretty much what you would see if you were to look at a given
entry in the citation dialog.
The formatting can be customized in your layout file or, preferably, in
a module.
See the
\emph on
Customization
\emph default
manual for the details.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The main defect at present is that cross-referenced information is printed
with every entry with which it is associated.
So you can see things like this:

\begin_layout Standard
There is no support at present for sectioned bibliographies.
If you have multiple bibliographies, then \SpecialChar LyX

\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Indexes
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
will happily export indexes as XHTML, but with certain limitations at the
moment.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Index export will be most reliable when you do not attempt to use the fancy
constructs that are described in the section on indexes in the
\emph on
User's Guide
\emph default
.
\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Plain Layout
The main issue here is that \SpecialChar LyX
itself does not really handle these.
It just lets you enter what you would have to enter in raw \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
\end_layout
\end_inset
We'll describe how they are handled using the subsection headings from
that section.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Grouping Index Entries (aka, sub-entries): \SpecialChar LyX
makes an effort to support these,
but the entries must be separated by
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
!
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, that is, there must be spaces around the exclamation point.
This is because it is otherwise too difficult to check for escaped exclamation
points, ones in math, and so forth.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Page Ranges: There is no support at all for page ranges, since these make
no sense with XHMTL.
Instead, you will just get two index entries, one at either end.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Cross-referencing: There is no support for cross-referencing.
If \SpecialChar LyX
finds an entry containing the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
|see\SpecialChar ldots
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
construct, it is just dropped, and the rest is treated as an ordinary index
entry.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Index Entry Order: \SpecialChar LyX
does support attempts to fix the sorting order.
It will take what is before the first `@' it finds and use that for sorting,
taking what follows the first `@' to be the actual entry.
At present, \SpecialChar LyX
does not check for escaped `@', so do not try to index email
addresses.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Index Entry Layout: You can format entries by using the text style dialog,
or by using any other method available within \SpecialChar LyX
itself.
There is no support for constructs like:
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
entry|textbf
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
Indeed, if \SpecialChar LyX
finds a pipe symbol, `|', in an entry, it will delete it and
everything that follows it.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Multiple Indexes: There is no support for multiple indexes.
Rather, all index entries will be printed as one large index.
To avoid our printing several versions of the index, we print only the
main index, so make sure you have one.

\begin_layout Chapter
The \SpecialChar LyX
Server
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The `\SpecialChar LyX
server' allows other programs to talk to \SpecialChar LyX
, invoke \SpecialChar LyX
commands, and retrieve
information about the \SpecialChar LyX
internal state.
This is only intended for advanced users, but they should find it useful.
It is by writing to the \SpecialChar LyX
server, for example, that bibliography managers,
such as JabRef, are able to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
push
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
citations to \SpecialChar LyX
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Starting the \SpecialChar LyX
Server
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The \SpecialChar LyX
server works through the use of a pair of named pipes.
These are usually located in
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
UserDir
\end_layout
\end_inset
, (except on Windows, where
\emph on
local
\emph default
named pipes are special objects located in
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
\backslash
.
\backslash
pipe
\end_layout
\end_inset
) and have the names
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
lyxpipe.in
\end_layout
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
lyxpipe.out
\end_layout
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
External programs write into
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
lyxpipe.in
\end_layout
\end_inset
and read back data from
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
lyxpipe.out
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
The stem of the pipe names can be defined in the
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Preferences
\end_layout
\end_inset
dialog, for example
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
"/home/myhome/lyxpipe"
\end_layout
\end_inset
, or
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
"
\backslash
\backslash
.
\backslash
pipe
\backslash
lyxpipe"
\end_layout
\end_inset
on Windows (where any working path instead of lyxpipe can be used, for
example
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
"
\backslash
\backslash
.
\backslash
pipe
\backslash
my
\backslash
lyx
\backslash
pipe"
\end_layout
\end_inset
would also work).
You
\emph on
must
\emph default
configure this manually in order for the server to start.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
will add the '
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
.in
\end_layout
\end_inset
' and '
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
.out
\end_layout
\end_inset
' to create the pipes.
If one of the pipes already exists, \SpecialChar LyX
will assume that another \SpecialChar LyX
process
is already running and will not start the server.
On POSIX (Unix like) systems, if for some other reason, an unused
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
stale
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
pipe is left in existence when \SpecialChar LyX
closes, then \SpecialChar LyX
will try to delete it.
If this fails for some reason, you will need to delete the pipes manually
and then restart \SpecialChar LyX
.
On Windows, pipes are deleted by the OS on program termination or crash,
so
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
stale
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
pipes should not be possible.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To have several \SpecialChar LyX
processes with servers at the same time, you have to use
different configurations, perhaps by using separate user directories, each
with its own
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
preferences
\end_layout
\end_inset
file, for each process.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you are developing a client program, you might find it useful to enable
debugging information from the \SpecialChar LyX
server.
Do this by starting \SpecialChar LyX
as
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
lyx -dbg lyxserver
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can find a complete example client written in C++ in the source distribution
as
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
development/lyxserver/server_monitor.cpp
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Another useful tool is the command-line based client found in
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
src/client/lyxclient
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Normal communication
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To issue a \SpecialChar LyX
call, the client writes a line of ASCII text into the input
pipe.
This line has the following format:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quote
LYXCMD:
\emph on
clientname
\emph default
:
\emph on
function
\emph default
:
\emph on
argument
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
clientname is a name that the client can choose arbitrarily.
Its only use is that \SpecialChar LyX
will echo it if it sends an answer—so a client can
dispatch results from different requesters.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
function is the function you want \SpecialChar LyX
to perform.
It is the same as the commands you'd use in the minibuffer.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
argument is an optional argument which is meaningful only to some functions
(for instance, the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
self-insert
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
LFUN will insert the argument as text at the cursor position).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The answer from \SpecialChar LyX
will arrive in the output pipe and be of the form
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quote
INFO:
\emph on
clientname
\emph default
:
\emph on
function
\emph default
:
\emph on
data
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
where
\emph on
clientname
\emph default
and
\emph on
function
\emph default
are just echoed from the command request, while
\emph on
data
\emph default
is more or less useful information filled according to how the command
execution worked out.
Some commands, such as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
font-state
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, will return information about the internal state of \SpecialChar LyX
, while other will
return an empty data-response.
This means that the command execution went fine.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In case of errors, the response from \SpecialChar LyX
will have this form
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quote
ERROR:
\emph on
clientname
\emph default
:
\emph on
function
\emph default
:
\emph on
error message
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
where the
\emph on
error message
\emph default
should contain an explanation of why the command failed.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Examples:
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
echo "LYXCMD:test:beginning-of-buffer:" >~/.lyxpipe.in
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
echo "LYXCMD:test:get-xy:" >~/.lyxpipe.in

\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
echo $a
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
AppleScript (Mac OS X)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Since \SpecialChar LyX
2.1, \SpecialChar LyX
supports basic interactions with AppleScript for normal communicatio
n through the command run.
This command takes a direct argument (the
\series bold
function
\series default
to perform) and an optional argument.
It either returns the output of the function or triggers an error with
the error message and code.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Example:
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
tell application "\SpecialChar LyX
"
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
try
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
-- Stores the current file name into f
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
set f to (run "server-get-filename" with argument "")
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
on error the error_message number the error_number
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
display dialog "Error: " & the error_number & ".
" ¬
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
& the error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
end try
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
end tell
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Notification
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
can notify clients of events going on asynchronously.
Currently it will only do this if the user binds a key sequence with the
function
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
notify
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
The format of the string \SpecialChar LyX
sends is as follows:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quote
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
NOTIFY:
\end_layout
\end_inset
\emph on
key-sequence
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
where
\emph on
key-sequence
\emph default
is the printed representation of the key sequence that was actually typed
by the user.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This mechanism can be used to extend \SpecialChar LyX
's command set and implement macros.
Bind some key sequence to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
notify
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
Then start a client that listens on the output pipe, dispatches the command
according to the sequence, and starts a function that may use \SpecialChar LyX
calls and
\SpecialChar LyX
requests to issue a command or a series of commands to \SpecialChar LyX
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
The simple \SpecialChar LyX
Server Protocol
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
implements a simple protocol that can be used for session management.
All messages are of the form
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quote
LYXSRV:
\emph on
clientname
\emph default
:
\emph on
protocol message
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
where
\emph on
protocol message
\emph default
can be
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
hello
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
bye
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
If
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
hello
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is received from a client, \SpecialChar LyX
will report back to inform the client that
it's listening to it's messages, while
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
bye
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
sent from \SpecialChar LyX
will inform clients that \SpecialChar LyX
is closing.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Reverse DVI/PDF search
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Some DVI/PDF viewers
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
The following viewers offer the reverse PDF search feature: Okular on KDE/Linux,
Qpdfview on Unix, Skim on Mac OSX and SumatraPDF on Windows.
\end_layout
\end_inset
provide
\emph on
reverse search
\emph default
facility (also called
\emph on
inverse search
\emph default
).
This means that you can tell \SpecialChar LyX
to put the cursor to a specific line in the
document by clicking at the respective position in the DVI/PDF output.
To achieve this, the viewer must be able to communicate with \SpecialChar LyX
.
This is done via the \SpecialChar LyX
server either by using the named pipe (
\emph on
lyxpipe
\emph default
), or the UNIX domain socket (
\emph on
lyxsocket
\emph default
) that \SpecialChar LyX
creates in its temporary directory (this is the way the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
lyxclient
\end_layout
\end_inset
program communicates with \SpecialChar LyX
).
In some cases, you need a helper script that mediates between the viewer
and \SpecialChar LyX
, in others, the viewer can communicate with \SpecialChar LyX
directly.
This depends on the selected viewer and on your operating system.
The same applies to the way viewers need to be configured and the way the
reverse search is actually performed.
In what follows, we will thus describe how to setup reverse search for
specific viewers.
Before we turn to this, though, we will explain what needs to be done generally
to enable reverse search in the DVI/PDF output.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Automatic setup
\begin_inset CommandInset label

\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In most cases \SpecialChar LyX

in the menu
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
.
In such a case \SpecialChar LyX
will automatically insert the necessary Sync\SpecialChar TeX

PDF) or load the srcltx package (for DVI) respectively.
This option can be easily reached also on
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
View/Update

\begin_layout Standard
Note that the method
\begin_inset Flex Code

enables gzip compression.
If your viewer does not support it, you should instead use
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
synctex=-1
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Please also note that including the

srcltx
\end_layout
\end_inset
package or
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
sometimes has an undesired impact on the typesetting.
Thus, you should switch output synchronization off for the final typesetting
if you use the

Manual setup
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LaTeX
provides several different methods for reverse search.
Some are built-in in the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
latex/pdflatex
\end_layout
\end_inset
program, some are provided by external packages.
Your choice depends on whether your \SpecialChar LaTeX
distribution already provides a given
method (the built-in methods are rather new) and whether your viewer can
cope with it.
The available methods are described in the following.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection*
Built-in DVI-search via src-specials (DVI only)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This method provides the DVI file with the necessary information for reverse
search.
It is available in \SpecialChar LaTeX
since quite some time (any somewhat recent \SpecialChar LaTeX
distribution
should include it), and it works reliably.
To enable it, change the
\begin_inset Flex Noun

\end_layout
\end_inset
.
If this doesn't work, check if your \SpecialChar TeX
engine needs different options (the
syntax might differ in some distributions).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection*
External Packages (PDFSync and scrltx)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The packages
\emph on
pdfsync
\emph default
and
\emph on
scrltx
\emph default
provide reverse search facility for PDF output (via pdflatex) and DVI output,
respectively.
In order to enable it, load the packages in the \SpecialChar LyX
preamble:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
usepackage{pdfsync}
\end_layout
\end_inset
for reverse PDF search,
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
usepackage[active]{srcltx}
\end_layout
\end_inset
for reverse DVI search.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you want to be able to perform both DVI and PDF reverse searches, you
can also insert in the preamble the following lines
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
\backslash
usepackage{ifpdf}
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\backslash
ifpdf
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\backslash
usepackage{pdfsync}
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\backslash
else
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\backslash
usepackage[active]{srcltx}
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\backslash
fi
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This way, you can preview the file as either DVI or PDF (pdflatex) and the
right package will be used.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note that PDFSync might affect the output layout of your document.
It is therefore advised to disable PDFsync for final documents.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection*
Built-in reverse search via Sync\SpecialChar TeX
(DVI and PDF)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Recent versions of
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
(pdf)latex
\end_layout
\end_inset
have built-in support for both PDF and DVI reverse search.
This so-called
\emph on
Sync\SpecialChar TeX
\emph default
facility is basically the result of the integration of the PDFSync package
to the pdftex program and its merge with the
\emph on
scr-specials
\emph default
approach.
You need at least \SpecialChar TeX
Live 2008 or a recent Mik\SpecialChar TeX
distribution in order to use
it.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
For some reason, Mik\SpecialChar TeX
does not understand/obey the command \SpecialChar LyX
inserts into
the preamble when you check the "Enable Forward/Reverse Search" button
in the toolbar and does not generate the necessary info.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Plain Layout
The generation of the required info can be forced by changing the converter

Forward search
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Forward search is, as the name implies, in a sense the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
opposite
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
of reverse search.
It allows you to let the viewer jump to a given position from within \SpecialChar LyX
.
If forward search is set up (as described in what follows), you can put
the cursor anywhere in your \SpecialChar LyX
document, and hit
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Navigate\SpecialChar menuseparator
Forward search
\end_layout
\end_inset
(or select
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Forward search
\end_layout
\end_inset
in the context menu via right mouse click), and then the viewer will jump
to that position as well.
This implies, of course, that your viewer supports this function.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To make forward search possible, you first need to provide the generated
output PDF/DVI file with additional information about the \SpecialChar TeX
sources.
This can be done via the methods described in the section
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:rev-search"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Additionally, you need to configure \SpecialChar LyX

.
We provide a range of tested configurations for some viewers, which you
can select from the drop down list.
If none of these configurations suits you, you have to find out and enter
a suitable configuration yourself.
The definition syntax uses the following placeholders:

While many of the widespread PDF viewers (most notably Adobe Reader) do
not support forward search at all, some other viewers e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
evince and xpdf allow at least to reload the document and jump to a specific
page of the file, so you can at least navigate
\begin_inset Quotes eld

near
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
This latter functionality is provided by an external call of synctex (see
the predefined example configurations).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Forward search works both with DVI and PDF output.
\SpecialChar LyX
simply checks which preview format you have used before (i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}

e., which format is already there in the temporary directory) and chooses
the appropriate configuration for the respective format.

Please note that the publisher of the journal was changed from Springer
to EDP Sciences starting January 1, 2001.
That change involved also some slight changes to the style files, namely
the removal of the thesaurus command.
The \SpecialChar LyX
class aa supports the newest version of these style files, V 5.01.
If you have an older version installed, please upgrade.
For compatibility, the old (version 4) layout has been kept as

The header block
\end_layout

First thing to enter is the header information.
It consists of seven entries, of which some are optional.

\begin_layout Itemize
\family sans
Date
\family default

Suggested format is
\family typewriter
Received: <date>; Accepted <date>
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There is no need to issue the
\family typewriter
\backslash
maketitle
\family default
command, this is done automatically by \SpecialChar LyX
when the header is finished.
Although the order of the single header entries doesn't matter it is advised
to keep the above sequence, just to get the best optics and meets the layout
of the real document.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you want to place footnotes in the header block, e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
to state your present address, just use the standard footnote via the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Footnote.
\family default
\SpecialChar LyX
will automagically use the term
\family typewriter
\backslash
thanks{}
\family default
in that case.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In addition to these topics, the macros use three additional \SpecialChar LaTeX
commands that
have no counterpart in \SpecialChar LyX
:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\family typewriter

and
\family default
to separate different names for more than one author and institute, respectivel
y.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\family typewriter
\backslash
inst{<nr>}
\family default
to mark corresponding author/institute pairs.
The institutes are numbered sequentially as they appear in the
\family sans

\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\family typewriter

The abstract should immediately follow the header block.
With version 5 the abstract environment was changed to a command, and there
is now a resctriction to only one paragraph.
In addition, it should contain an entry with the keywords.
This is not yet implemented for \SpecialChar LyX

AAS\SpecialChar TeX
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
by

Mike Ressler
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
AAS\SpecialChar TeX
is a set of macros produced by the American Astronomical Society to
facilitate electronic manuscript submission to the three journals they
publish: the Astrophysical Journal (including the Letters and Supplement),
the Astronomical Journal, and the Publications of the Astronomical Society
of the Pacific.
\SpecialChar LyX
has proven to be an excellent tool for generating these documents, especially
given its equation, citation, and figure handling capabilities.
\SpecialChar LyX
requires version 5.0 (or higher) of these macros; preferably 5.2, which
is the version described here, or higher.
Versions prior to 5.0 are intended for use with \SpecialChar LaTeX
2.09 and are fundamentally
incompatible with \SpecialChar LyX
.
The AAS\SpecialChar TeX
package may be downloaded from the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
Web site

\begin_layout Standard

\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A complete user guide is contained in that package and you should familiarize
yourself with it thoroughly before embarking on writing a paper in \SpecialChar LyX
.
\SpecialChar LyX
will not reduce the need to figure out all the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
commands, it will only
reduce the drudgery of typing everything in.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the final exported \SpecialChar LaTeX
document conforms
completely to the requirements of the journal to which you are submitting
your paper.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Starting a New Paper
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
I strongly suggest that you start with the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
template file.
Click on
\family sans
File\SpecialChar menuseparator
New from
\family default
\family sans
Template
\family default
, enter the new file name, then choose the
\family typewriter
aastex.lyx
\family default
template.
This will show the most common fields found in a manuscript.
Simply overwrite the existing text (including the brackets,
\family typewriter
<>
\family default
) with the correct information.
Many of the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
commands and environments can be implemented directly in
\SpecialChar LyX
, but some cannot: most noticeably
\family typewriter
\backslash
altaffilmark
\family default
and
\family typewriter
\backslash
altaffiltext
\family default
, which should stick out like a sore thumb if you actually just opened the
template file.
For commands such as these, the \SpecialChar LaTeX
code must be entered directly and marked
as such.
Such commands are referred to as \SpecialChar TeX
code, or Evil Red Text.
I tried to minimize the amount of \SpecialChar TeX
code needed in an AAS\SpecialChar TeX
document, but
there is still a bit more required than any of us would like.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection

When the paper is finished to your satisfaction and previews/prints correctly,
there are a few

Comments On Specific Commands

\begin_layout Standard
I will not describe the detailed usage of the individual AAS\SpecialChar TeX
commands: the
AAS\SpecialChar TeX
User Guide (

FAQs, Tips, Tricks, and Other Ruminations
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Getting \SpecialChar LyX
and AAS\SpecialChar TeX
to cooperate
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
It can be a bit tricky to get \SpecialChar LyX
to recognize a new layout and document class.
When all else fails, do this:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Make certain that \SpecialChar LaTeX
can find AAS\SpecialChar TeX
.
Copy sample.tex (and perhaps table.tex) from the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
distribution into a
directory completely unrelated to \SpecialChar LaTeX
or AAS\SpecialChar TeX
and run \SpecialChar LaTeX
on
\family typewriter
sample.tex
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Make certain that
\family typewriter
aastex.layout
\family default
appears in \SpecialChar LyX
's
\family typewriter
layouts
\family default
folder
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Rerun
\family sans
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Reconfigure
\family default
in \SpecialChar LyX
, then restart \SpecialChar LyX
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Open a regular new file, not from a template.
Does AAS\SpecialChar TeX
appear in the class list in
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings
\family default
?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you get a warning from an existing AAS\SpecialChar TeX
document about not being able
to find the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
layout or a message about
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
You should not mix title layouts with normal ones
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, things haven't been installed correctly.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
\SpecialChar LaTeX
error processing a table
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
, by default, attempts to center the table caption/title.
This seems to produce a bad interaction in AAS\SpecialChar TeX
so you should click somewhere
in the caption/title, then select
\family sans
Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator
Paragraph
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Settings
\family default
, then set the
\family sans
Alignment
\family default
to
\family sans
Block
\family default
.
This took care of it for me.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
References
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A couple of things: 1) I have noticed some funny spacing in the reference
entries in the text.
When you enter the bibliography item data, make sure their is
\emph on
no
\emph default
space between the last author and the parenthesis setting off the year;
\emph on
e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
\emph default
type
\family typewriter
Ressler(1992)
\family default
, not
\family typewriter
Ressler (1992)
\family default
.
2) Entering the references at all is not obvious.
The easiest thing is to start typing your first reference at the end of
the document, then mark it as type
\family sans
References
\family default
.
That will put a small gray box in front of what you just typed.
Click on the box to fill in the rest of the information.
For new references, go to the end of an existing reference and press return.
That will create a new line with its own box, etc.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Including EPS files
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Even though AAS\SpecialChar TeX
provides its own figure commands (
\family typewriter
\backslash
plotone
\family default
, for example), I much prefer \SpecialChar LaTeX
's standard figure commands (with the default
graphicx).
You can insert the
\family typewriter
\backslash
plotone
\family default
, etc.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
commands as \SpecialChar TeX
code into a Figure Float box if you desire, but I never have
much luck getting the layout right.
With the standard graphics, \SpecialChar LyX
will insert a
\family typewriter
\backslash
usepackage{graphicx}
\family default
command into the \SpecialChar LaTeX
preamble and handle the figures in the standard \SpecialChar LaTeX2e
way,
interspersing the figures in the text.
I believe ApJ accepts figures exactly this way now; AJ might still use
the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
stack everything at the end
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
technique.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Things I could have done, but didn't
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are a few
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
pretty
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
things I could have implemented, but chose not to.
For instance, I saw no point in double-spacing the text in the \SpecialChar LyX
window,
even though it is double-spaced in the paper manuscript.
Also, I chose not to make separate layouts for the preprint and preprint2
styles.
Since I assume you will spend most of your time in the plain manuscript
mode anyway, I decided not to chew up more disk space with this.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Final Caveat
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Your mileage may vary.
I've now had papers published by both ApJ and AJ that have had 98% of the
effort done in \SpecialChar LyX
; the last 2% was the \SpecialChar LaTeX
post-processing and a few cleanups.
I have had no trouble with the submission process, and I'm sure the journals
were never aware that there might be a difference.
So, go forth and publish!

\noindent
The AMS \SpecialChar LaTeX
layouts are set up to conform to suggested styles for mathematical
papers to be submitted to American Mathematical Society publications.
The layouts are not tailored to a specific journal, but easily can be.
You should refer to the AMS documentation for specific instructions for
each journal (usually it will entail only changing a single line in the
\SpecialChar TeX
output).
That documentation is available on the Web at
\begin_inset Flex URL
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
http://www.ams.org
\end_layout
\end_inset
or by ftp at
\begin_inset Flex URL
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/amslatex/
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
These layouts are appropriate, and useful, for any mathematical writing.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are two basic AMS \SpecialChar LaTeX
layouts:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
amsart: The standard AMS article format.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
amsbook: the standard AMS book (really, monograph) format.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The layouts themselves contain only the minimum necessary to use the AMS
classes.
They do not, in particular, contain any of the `theorem' environments used
for setting theorems, lemmas, and the like.
These are contained, instead, in the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Theorems (AMS)
\end_layout
\end_inset
module, which is loaded by default when you select one of the AMS classes.
(It can also be used with other classes and can be removed, if you would
rather use something else.) Less commonly used environments are in the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Theorems (AMS-Extended)
\end_layout
\end_inset
module, which must be loaded manually.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default, theorems and the like are numbered consecutively throughout
the document, but this may be modified by loading the module
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Theorems (Order by Section)
\end_layout
\end_inset
or, if you are using
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
book (AMS)
\end_layout
\end_inset
, the module
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Theorems (Order by Chapter)
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
These will number the results as
\begin_inset Formula $n.m$
\end_inset
, where the first number refers to the section (or chapter) and the second
refers to the total number of results so far in that section (or chapter).
Many environments are also available unnumbered.
These are indicated by an asterisk at the end.
If you happen to want
\emph on
only
\emph default
unnumbered results, the module
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Theorems (Starred)
\end_layout
\end_inset
provides that option.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note that these modules do not
\emph on
have
\emph default
to be used with the AMS classes.
It is perfectly possible to use the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Theorems (AMS)
\end_layout
\end_inset
module, and the others mentioned, with other classes, such as
\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset

\begin_inset Flex Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
, and so forth.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
What these layouts provide
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There is a long list of included environments provided by these layouts.
In AMS-\SpecialChar LaTeX
, there is, in fact, an opportunity to define an unlimited variety
of `theorem' environments.
However, the AMS recommends the environments that are available in \SpecialChar LyX
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

\begin_layout Standard
The following environments are provided by both the

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Theorems
\end_layout
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Theorems (AMS)
\end_layout
\end_inset
modules, in the latter case in both starred (unnumbered) and unstarred
(numbered) versions.
These same environments are provided only in the starred versions by the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Theorems (Starred)
\end_layout
\end_inset
module:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Theorem
This is typically used for the statements of major results.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Corollary*
This is used for statements which follow fairly directly from previous statement
s.
Again, these can be major results.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Lemma
These are smaller results needed to prove other statements.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Proposition
These are less major results which (hopefully) add to the general theory
being discussed.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Conjecture
These are statements provided without justification, which the author does
not know how to prove, but which seem to be true (to the author, at least).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Definition*
Guess what this is for.
The font is different for this environment than for the previous ones.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Example*
Used for examples illustrating proven results.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Problem
It's not really known what this is for.
You should figure it out.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Exercise*
Write a description for this one.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Remark
This environment is also a type of theorem, usually a lesser sort of observation.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Claim*
Often used in the course of giving a proof of a larger result.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Case
Generally, these are used to break up long arguments, using specific instances
of some condition.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Case
The numbering scheme for cases is on its own, not together with other numbered
statements.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Proof
At the end of this environment, a QED symbol (usually a square, but it can
vary with different styles) is placed.
If you want to have other environments within this one—for example, Case
environments—and have the QED symbol appear only after them, then the other
environments need to be nested within the proof environment.
See the section
\emph on
Nesting Environments
\emph default
of the
\emph on
User's Guide
\emph default
for information on nesting.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
And these environments are provided by
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Theorems (AMS-Extended)
\end_layout
\end_inset
:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Criterion*
A required condition.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Algorithm*
A general procedure to be used.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Axiom*
This is a property or statement taken as true within the system being discussed.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Condition*
Sometimes used to state a condition assumed within the present context of
discussion.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Note*
Similar to a Remark.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Notation*
Used for the explanation of, yes, notation.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Summary
Do we really need to tell you?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Acknowledgement*
Acknowledgement.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Conclusion*
Sometimes used at the end of a long train of argument.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Fact
Used in a way similar to Proposition, though perhaps lower on the scale.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In addition, the AMS classes automatically provide the AMS \SpecialChar LaTeX
and AMS fonts
packages.
They need to be available on your system in order to use these environments.

If your machine doesn't have the

\family default
class, which isn't quite as good as
\family sans

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The

\begin_layout Subsection
Getting Started
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Obviously, to use this document class, you need to select
\family sans
FoilTeX
\family default
from the
\family sans
Class
\family default
entry in the
\family sans

\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Layout

There are some settings in the
\family sans

\end_inset
Layout
\family default
dialog that you should know about that are specific to this class:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Don't change the options

\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
The default font size is 20
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}

\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Foil\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
supports A4 and Letter paper sizes as well as a special size for working
with 35
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
mm slides.
It doesn't support A5, B5, legal or executive paper sizes.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Don't bother changing the
\family sans
Float Placement
\family default
settings because they are ignored anyway.
All floats appear where they are defined in the text.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
The
\family sans
Pagestyle
\family default
setting behaves a bit differently for this class.
\family sans
Foil\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
provides extensive footer and header capabilities including a user-defined
logo.
See section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:foilfoot"
\end_inset
for more details.
The title page is treated differently to all other pages in the document
and is
\emph on
always
\emph default
unnumbered and
\emph on
always
\emph default
has the logo centered at the bottom of the page (if one is defined).
The possible page style choices and what they do are as follows:
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMM
\family sans
\series bold
empty
\family default
\series default
The final output contains no page numbers, or other headers or footers
(except footnotes of course).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMM
\family sans

The final output contains page numbers centered at the bottom of the page.
No other headings or footers (other than footnotes).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMM
\series bold
foilheadings
\series default
Page numbers in lower right corner.
Additional headers and footers are also shown.
This is also the default.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMM
\series bold
fancy
\series default
Gives you access to the
\family sans

\family default
package although its use with
\family sans

Extra Options
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The following options may be used in the extra class options in the

\family default
dialog.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMx
\series bold

\series default
This sets up the page layout for 7.33
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
in by 11
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
in paper, which is about the same aspect ratio as a 35
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
mm slide, making it a bit easier to work with this medium.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMx
\series bold

\series default
Places a rule across the page below the header on every page except the
title page.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling

\series bold
footrule
\series default
Places a rule across the page above the footer on every page except the
title page.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMx
\series bold
dvips
\series default
This is automatically set each time you create a new
\family sans

\family default
to use the dvips driver to rotate those pages that are set as landscape
foils.
\end_layout

Simply changes the page dimensions to those of a landscape page but doesn't
do any rotation.
Thus if you use this option you need to use an external program to rotate
each page or feed your paper through your printer as landscape.
Note that this option effectively reverses the roles of the

\begin_layout Subsection
Building a Set of Foils
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This section will give a simple introduction to using the different environments
to build a set of foils.
If you want to see an example set of foils, take a look at the
\family typewriter
Foils.lyx
\family default
file you find in \SpecialChar LyX
's
\family typewriter
examples
\family default
folder.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Give It a Title Page
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Unlike other classes that provide
\family sans
Title
\family default
,
\family sans
Author
\family default
,
\family sans
Date
\family default
and
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
environments,
\family sans
foils
\family default
creates the title on a page of its own.
If you leave out the
\family sans
Date
\family default
environment \SpecialChar LaTeX
will substitute the current date (every time you regenerate
the output).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Start a New Foil
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As I mentioned earlier, there are four ways of starting a new foil.
For portrait foils you should use
\family sans
Foilhead
\family default
or
\family sans
ShortFoilhead.
\family default
The difference between these two environments is the amount of space between
the title of the foil (the foilhead) and the body of the foil.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Landscape foils are generated using the
\family sans
Rotatefoilhead
\family default
and
\family sans
ShortRotatefoilhead
\family default
environments.
Again the only difference is the spacing between foilhead and body.
Both of the short versions have 0.5
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
inches less separation between the foilhead and the body.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
One problem with the support for landscape foils is the requirement that
you have to use the
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
driver to generate the PostScript output otherwise the foils won't be rotated.
It is possible to get landscape foils even if you haven't got the
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
driver provided you can feed your foils sideways through your printer ;-)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Theorems, Lemmas, Proofs and more
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Due to a small bug in \SpecialChar LyX
you can't have two of the same type of these environments
directly following each other.
They must be separated by something.
If you try, you will just be extending the previous environment as if you
had merged the two environments together.
So, how do you get around this problem? The simplest option is to insert
some text between the two environments or add a
\family sans
\SpecialChar LaTeX
\family default
environment between the two with just a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
%
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in it.
This will force \SpecialChar LyX
to produce two separate environments and hence the correct
\SpecialChar LaTeX
output.
An example is provided in the example file included with the \SpecialChar LyX
distribution.
Remember, this problem only occurs if you are trying to place two of the
same type of theorem-like environments one directly after the other.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Lists
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You get all the commonly supported list styles found in other classes as
well as two new ones.
I'll only describe the new ones here.
If you want to find out more about the other list environments check out
the
\emph on
User's Guide.
\emph default
If you intend to use itemized lists you might also want to read about the
\family sans

dialog described above in section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:bullet"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The two new list styles,
\family sans
TickList
\family default
and
\family sans
CrossList
\family default
, are designed to make it easier for you to create lists of do's and don'ts
or right and wrong by providing dedicated environments that use a tick
or a cross as the label of the list.
These lists are in fact dedicated variants of the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment.
They do however require that you have the
\family typewriter
psnfss
\family default
packages installed.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Figures and Tables
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\family sans
Foil\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
redefines the floating tables and figures so that they appear exactly where
they are in the text rather than pushing them to the top of the page or
to some user specified location.
In fact if you change the float placement settings they are simply ignored.

The first is meant to allow you to include a graphic logo on your foils

Lengths

All lengths are adjusted using the

\family default
\emph on
lengthname
\family typewriter
\emph default
}{
\family default
\emph on
newlength
\family typewriter
\emph default
}
\family default
command.
Where
\emph on
lengthname
\emph default
should be replaced by the name given to the length you want to change and
\emph on
newlength
\emph default
is the length value.
All lengths should be specified in units of length such as inches (
\family typewriter
in
\family default
), millimeters (
\family typewriter
mm
\family default
) or points (
\family typewriter
pt
\family default
) or relative to some document or font-based length such as
\family typewriter
\backslash
textwidth
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
It's possible to change the spacing between a foilhead and the body of the
foil by adjusting the length specified by
\family typewriter
\backslash
foilheadskip
\family default
.
For example, to make
\emph on
all
\emph default
foilheads 0.5
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
in closer to their bodies put the following in the preamble:
\family typewriter
\backslash
setlength{
\backslash
foilheadskip}{-0.5in}
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The spacings around floats can be adjusted by setting these lengths:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM
\family typewriter
\backslash
abovefloatskip
\family default
Separation between the text and the top of the float
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM
\family typewriter
\backslash
abovecaptionskip
\family default
Separation between the float and the caption
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM
\family typewriter
\backslash
belowcaptionskip
\family default
Separation between the caption and the following text
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM
\family typewriter
\backslash
captionwidth
\family default
You can make the captions narrower than the surrounding text by adjusting
this length.
Best done relative to
\family typewriter
\backslash
textwidth
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are also several title page related lengths that you may find useful
if you have a long title or several authors:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM
\family typewriter
\backslash
abovetitleskip
\family default
Separation from headers to
\family sans

\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM
\family typewriter
\backslash

\family default
between
\family sans

\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM
\family typewriter

between multiple
\family sans

\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM
\family typewriter

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The last length related command affects all the list environments.
If you place
\family typewriter
\backslash
zerolistvertdimens
\family default
\emph on
inside
\emph default
a list environment then all the vertical spacing between the list items
is removed.
Note that this is a command not a length so it doesn't require
\family typewriter
\backslash
setlength
\family default
like the stuff mentioned above.

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The
\family typewriter

LogoOn
\family default
and
\family typewriter

\family default
commands control whether the logo in the
\family sans
MyLogo
\family default
definition appear on a given page.
If you put
\family typewriter
\backslash
LogoOff
\family default
in the preamble then none of the foils will have the logo on them.
If you don't want the logo on a particular page place the
\family typewriter
\backslash
LogoOff
\family default
directly after the foilhead of that page and the
\family typewriter
\backslash
LogoOn
\family default
directly after the next foilhead.

If you decide to use the

dialog you should probably add
\family typewriter
\backslash

to your preamble so headers and footers on landscape pages are correctly
placed when rotated.
This is due to some clashes between the page layouts provided by the

package and the
\family sans
foils
\family default
class.

The ijmpc and the ijmpd packages use the
\family typewriter
tbl
\family default
command to implement table captions.
As a result, a table created by \SpecialChar LyX
is printed correctly, but its caption
is ignored.
However, you can use some \SpecialChar TeX
code to overcome this problem, so that captions
are printed as expected.
To do so, create a float table as usual, remove the caption, and replace
it with the \SpecialChar TeX
code
\family typewriter
\backslash
tbl{
\emph on
your table caption
\emph default
}{
\family default
(sic); you must also the \SpecialChar TeX
code
\family typewriter
}
\family default
immediately after the tabular material.
Study the example table included in the template files to see how this
trick is implemented.
Alternatively, If you need table captions, you should implement the whole
table float in a
\family typewriter
.tex
\family default
file, then include this file to the \SpecialChar LyX
document (
\family sans

It could be seen as a matter of inconsequence, that the types
\family sans
Letter
\family default
and
\family sans
Opening
\family default
described above are not such input types as well.
Because of the special meaning of those types, however, I have implemented
them as ordinary paragraph types with a one letter mark in the left margin.
Moreover, it would affect my feeling of symmetry, if the
\family sans
Opening
\family default
type and the
\family sans
Closing
\family default
type had such a serious different appearance.
\end_layout
\end_inset
The types must be used ahead of the corresponding

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
An implementation of these types in a WYSIWYG fashion does not seem to make
sense, because the real appearance of the produced letter does not only
depend on the usage of the particular type, but also on other factors.
For example, a signature entered in the
\family sans
Signature
\family default
type will in the standard behavior appear in the produced letter only,
when in the same letter also a
\family sans
Closing
\family default
type is used.
The entered value of the
\family sans
Telephone
\family default
type will in the standard behavior not appear in the produced letter at
all.
The possibility to design the letter`s heading freely is already indicated
in a footnote above.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The input types can also be used as empty paragraphs.
This makes sense e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
for the
\family sans
Signature
\family default
type.
If the
\family sans
Signature
\family default
type is not used at all, in the standard behavior the value of the
\family sans
Name
\family default
type is used as signature, whereas if an empty
\family sans
Signature
\family default
type is used, no signature value is defined.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By using the input types it is possible to write a letter template, containing
filled input types with your personal dates (name, address, etc.) and empty
input types for other dates you want to enter.

The chapter number of a

A

Memoir
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By

\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Overview
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Memoir is a very powerful and constantly evolving class.
It has been designed with regard to fictional and non-fictional literature.
Its aim is to let the user have maximum control over the typesetting of
his document.
Memoir is based on the standard book class, but it can also emulate the
article class (see below).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Peter Wilson, the developer of Memoir, is known as the author of lots of
useful packages in the \SpecialChar LaTeX
world.
Most of them have been merged with Memoir.
Therefore, it is much easier to layout the table of contents, appendices,
chapter designs and such.
\SpecialChar LyX
, though, does not support all of these goodies natively.
Some of them might be added to forthcoming releases
\begin_inset Foot

\end_layout

.
\end_layout
\end_inset
, lots will probably never be supported, due to the limitations of \SpecialChar LyX
's framework.
Of course you can still use all features with the help of some native \SpecialChar LaTeX
commands (\SpecialChar TeX

In this section, we can only list those features that are natively supported
by \SpecialChar LyX

description on good typesetting and a superb example for good typesetting
itself.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Basic features and restrictions
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Memoir supports basically all features of the standard book classes.
There are, however, some differences, as follows:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Font
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
sizes: Memoir has a broader range of font sizes: 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Page
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
style: The fancy page style is not supported, due to a command clash between
Memoir and the fancyhdr package (they both define a command with the same
name, which confuses \SpecialChar LaTeX
).
Instead, Memoir comes with a number of its own page styles (see
\family sans
Layout\SpecialChar menuseparator
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Page
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Style
\family default
).
If you want to use these for the chapter pages, you have to use the command
\family typewriter
\backslash
chapterstyle
\family default
in the main text or in preamble (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
chapterstyle{companion}
\family default
).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Sectioning: Sectionings (chapter, section, subsection etc.) come with an
optional argument in the standard classes.
With this, you can specify an alternative version of the title for the
table of contents and the headers (for instance, if the title is too long).
In \SpecialChar LyX
, you can do this via
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Short
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Title
\family default
at the beginning of a chapter/section.
Memoir features a second optional argument and thus separates the table
of contents from the header.
You can define three variants of a title with this: one for the main text,
one for the table of contents, and one for the headers.
Simply insert two optional arguments if you need this feature, the first
one containing the short title for the Table of Contents, the second one
containing an alternative short title for the headers.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
TOC/LOT/LOF: In the standard classes (and in many other classes), the table
of contents, the list of figures and the list of table start a new page
automatically.
Memoir does not follow this route.
You have to insert a page break yourself, if you want to have one.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Titlepage: For some unknown reason, Memoir uses pagination on the title
page (in the standard classes, title pages are
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
empty
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
).
If you want an empty title page, type
\family typewriter
\backslash
aliaspagestyle{title}{empty}
\family default
in the preamble.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Article: With the class option
\emph on
article
\emph default
(to be inserted in
\family sans
Layout\SpecialChar menuseparator
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Extra
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Options
\family default
), you can emulate article style.
That is, counters (footnotes, figures, tables etc.) will not be reset on
new chapters, chapters don't start a new page (but are—in contrary to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
real
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
article classes—still allowed), parts, though, use their own page, as in
book.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Oldfontcommands: By default, Memoir does not allow the use of the deprecated
font commands, which have been used in the old \SpecialChar LaTeX
version 2.09 (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
rm
\family default
,
\family typewriter
\backslash
it
\family default
).
It produces an error and stops \SpecialChar LaTeX
whenever such a command appears.
The class option
\emph on
oldfontcommands
\emph default
reallows the commands and spits out warnings instead (which does at least
not stop \SpecialChar LaTeX
).
Since a lot of packages and particularly Bib\SpecialChar TeX
style files are still using
those commands, we have decided to use this option by default.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Extra features
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
We will only describe the features supported by \SpecialChar LyX
(which is not much currently).

for details.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Abstract: You may wonder why an abstract is an extra feature.
Well, it is in book class.
Usually books don't have abstracts.
Memoir, however, has.
You can use it wherever and how often you like.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Chapterprecis: You may know this older typesetting style: The contents of
a chapter are summarized below the title and also in the table of contents
(e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
\emph on
Our hero arrives in Troia; he loses some friends; he finds others
\emph default
).
Chapterprecis does exactly this.
It is therefore only sensible below a chapter.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Epigraph: An epigraph is a smart slogan or motto at the beginning of a chapter.
The epigraph environment provides an elegant way of typesetting such a
motto.
The motto itself (text) and its author (source) are divided by a short
line.
Unfortunately, we have to fool \SpecialChar LyX
a bit here again, since the environment
needs two arguments (text and source).
In this case, we have to use curly brackets (in \SpecialChar TeX
mode) between the two
arguments:
\emph on
<smart slogan>
\emph default
\family typewriter
}{
\family default
\emph on
<author of the slogan>.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Poemtitle: Memoir has lots of possibilities to typeset poetry (up to very
complex figurative poems).
\SpecialChar LyX
can only support a few of them.
One is poemtitle, which is a centered title for poems, which will also
be added to the table of contents (verse is the standard environment for
poems.
Memoir has some enhanced versions of verse, but you need to use \SpecialChar TeX
code,
because they have to be nested inside regular verse environments, which
is not possible with \SpecialChar LyX
).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Poemtitle*: Same as poemtitle, but it adds no entry to the table of contents.

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX

However, v3.1 is basically obsolete, as it works with \SpecialChar LaTeX
2.09.
That means that it doesn't interact very well with \SpecialChar LyX
, which requires \SpecialChar LaTeX2e
, although
it has been kludged to work.
Since Rev\SpecialChar TeX

with the

\begin_layout Subsection
Installation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
All you need to do is install Rev\SpecialChar TeX

file.
The package can be found at The Rev\SpecialChar TeX
4 Web Site
\begin_inset Flex URL
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
http://publish.aps.org/revtex4/
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
Install it somewhere that \SpecialChar LaTeX
can see it.
Test it by trying to \SpecialChar LaTeX
a short Rev\SpecialChar TeX
4 document in some random directory (i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
not the directory where you installed the class file.) Then, if you reconfigure
\SpecialChar LyX
, it will find the class file and let you use the Rev\SpecialChar TeX
4 textclass.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Probably the easiest way to get started is either to import a Rev\SpecialChar TeX
4 document
using
\family typewriter
tex2lyx
\family default
, or to use the
\family sans

Note that (at least as of Rev\SpecialChar TeX

Important Notes

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In Rev\SpecialChar TeX
, the
\family typewriter
\backslash
thanks
\family default
command goes
\emph on
outside
\emph default
the
\family typewriter
\backslash
author
\family default
command.
The \SpecialChar LyX
equivalent is that there is a separate Thanks layout.
Do
\emph on
not
\emph default
write footnotes in the
\family sans

See the Rev\SpecialChar TeX

Also, the
\family sans
Author
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Email
\family default

\family sans
Author
\begin_inset space ~

\emph default
the
\family sans
Author

If you put the
\family sans
Thanks
\family default

\family sans
Address
\family default
, the \SpecialChar LaTeX

\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Drawbacks
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The main problem with this layout is that you can't use the optional arguments
to layouts like Email and Title.
(The problem is not unique to this layout; you can't use optional arguments
to the Section layouts either.) This means that after you export that file
to \SpecialChar LaTeX
(which you'll need to do eventually to send it in to APS), you'll need
to edit the \SpecialChar LaTeX
file with a text editor to add the optional arguments to set,
e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
the running title for the page headers.
Lacking these layouts makes the
\family typewriter
\backslash
altaffiliation
\family default
(and the equivalent
\family typewriter
\backslash
altaddress
\family default
) useless, so the corresponding layouts don't exist, and will have to be
added by hand.

\begin_layout Standard
This section describes how to use \SpecialChar LyX
to make slides for overhead projectors.
There are two document classes that can do this: the default slides class
and the
\family sans
Foil\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
slides class.
This section documents the former.

This class is the \SpecialChar LaTeX2e

Every \SpecialChar LaTeX2e

\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
from now on], so you're bound to have it.
As I noted earlier, there are other classes, such as
\family sans
foils
\family default
, which also produce slides for overhead projectors and do a better job
at it.
However, there are some things which
\family sans
slides
\family default
can do which the others can't, such as generate overlays.

Obviously, to use this document class, you need to select
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
slides (default)
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
from the class list in the
\family sans

There are some other special things you should know about this class:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize

class, anyways.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
The option
\family sans
Page
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
style
\family default
behaves a bit differently for this class.
The possible choices and what they do are as follows:
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Description
\family sans

\family default
The final output contains page numbers in the lower right corner.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
\family sans

\family default
Like
\family sans

\family default
, but also prints out any time markers you've put in.
This is the default.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
\family sans
empty
\family default
The final output contains no page numbers, time markers, or alignment markers.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
The
\family sans
slides
\family default
class has an extra option:
\family typewriter

\family default
.
To use it, put
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
clock
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the extra class options.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
Using this options allows you to add time markers to
\family sans

\begin_layout Standard
You can also use the template file
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
slides.lyx
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
to automatically set up a document to use the
\family sans

\family sans

New
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
from
\begin_inset space ~

The template file also contains some examples of the special paragraph
environments used by this class.
I'll describe those next.

Paragraph Environments

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Supported Environments
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The first thing you'll notice when you start up a new
\family sans
slides
\family default
document is the font size and type: it's the equivalent of the size
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
Largest
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the
\family sans
Sans
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

\family default
font.
This is also what's used in the output.
Think of this as a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
visual cue
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
to remind you that this is a slide.
Your final slides will use a larger font; ergo, you'll have less space.
Of course, the larger default screen font isn't WYSIWYG, only a reminder.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The next thing that becomes obvious is the changes to the paragraph environment
pull-down box [at the far-left end of the toolbar].
Most of the paragraph environments you're used to seeing are missing.
There are also five new ones.
That's because the
\family sans
slides
\family default
class itself only supports certain paragraph environments:

\begin_layout Standard
All of the other standard environments, including the section-heading environmen
ts, aren't used in the
\family sans
slides
\family default
class.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
On the other hand, you'll notice the following new environments:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\family sans
Slide
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\family sans
Overlay
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\family sans

\begin_layout Itemize
\family sans

\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize

\begin_layout Standard
These five are kind of quirky, due to a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
feature
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in \SpecialChar LyX
.
You see, \SpecialChar LyX
doesn't permit you to nest any other paragraph environment into
an empty environment.
Now, that's fine and dandy, but it means that you wouldn't be able to start
a slide with anything except plain text.
To deal with this, I've performed a little
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\SpecialChar LaTeX
magic.

Quirks of the New Environments
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "sec:slideQuirk"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
All five of the new paragraph environments are somewhat quirky due to inherent
limitiations in the current version of \SpecialChar LyX
.
As I just mentioned, \SpecialChar LyX
forbids environments that begin with another environment.
To get around this, the
\family sans
Slide
\family default
environment isn't a paragraph environment as described in the
\emph on
User's Guide
\emph default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You should consider
\family sans
Slide
\family default
,
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
, and
\family sans
Note
\family default
to be
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
pseudo-environments.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
They look like a section heading or a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
Caption
\family default
,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
but really begin a [and, if necessary, end the previous] paragraph environment.
Likewise, treat
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
and
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
pseudo-commands.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
These two perform some action.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A common feature of all five environments,
\family sans
Slide
\family default
,
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
,
\family sans
Note
\family default
,
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
and
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
, is a rather long-ish label.
The text following this label — ordinarily the contents of the paragraph
environment — is utterly irrelevant for
\family sans
Slide
\family default
,
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
,
\family sans
Note
\family default
,
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
and
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
.
\SpecialChar LyX
completely ignores it.
In fact, you can leave these five environments completely empty.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
While you don't
\emph on
have
\emph default
to put any text after the rather long-ish label, you might want to.
This could be a short description of the contents of the
\family sans
Slide
\family default
, for example.
In that case, enter your descriptive comment and hit
\family sans
Return
\family default
as you normally would.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If, on the other hand, you don't want to enter any descriptive text, you'll
hit another \SpecialChar LyX
quirk.
\SpecialChar LyX
, like nature, abhors a vacuum, and will not let you start a new paragraph
environment until you put something in the old one.
So, do this:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Start entering the text that will
\emph on
follow
\emph default
the new
\family sans
Slide
\family default
,
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
,
\family sans
Note
\family default
,
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
or
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Now move to the beginning of that paragraph.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Next, hit
\family sans
Return
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Finally, change this new, empty paragraph to a
\family sans
Slide
\family default
,
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
,
\family sans
Note
\family default
,
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
or
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Some future version of \SpecialChar LyX
will, hopefully, resolve this quirkiness\SpecialChar ldots

Using the
\family sans
Slide
\family default
Environment
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you're expecting this section to teach you how to actually make a presentatio
n, you'll be sorely disappointed.
Naturally, I'll describe all of the ways the
\family sans
slides
\family default
class can assist you in preparing the materials for a presentation.
Filling in the contents, however, is up to you.
[Then again, that
\emph on
is
\emph default
the \SpecialChar LyX
philosophy.]
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Choosing the
\family sans
Slide
\family default
environment [in the manner described in section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:slideQuirk"
\end_inset
] tells \SpecialChar LyX
to begin a new slide [duh].
The label for this environment/
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
pseudo-command
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is an
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
ASCII line,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in cool blue, followed by the label,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
NewSlide:
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
Any text or paragraph environments that follow this one go on the new slide.
It's that simple.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Slides are probably the only time you'll need to forcibly end pages in \SpecialChar LyX
(this can be specified in the
\family sans
Paragraph Layout
\family default
dialog).
In fact, you'll want to, once you finish entering the contents of one slide.
If you've entered more text than can physically fit on a slide, the extra
overflows onto a new slide.
I don't recommend doing this, however, since the overflow slide won't have
any page number on it.
Furthermore, it may interfere with any
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
you've made to accompany the oversized
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
and
\family sans
Note
\family default
environments work the same way as the
\family sans
Slide
\family default
environment.
They both create an
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
ASCII line
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
followed by a label [
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
NewOverlay:
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
NewNote:
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, respectively].
The color is a stunning magenta instead of blue, and the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
ASCII line
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
will look different, in style and in length.
The label fonts of all three also differ from one another.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As with a
\family sans
Slide
\family default
, if the contents of a
\family sans
Note
\family default
or
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
exceed the physical size of a slide or sheet of paper, the extra will overflow
onto a new sheet.
Again, you should avoid this.
It defeats the whole purpose of
\family sans
Note
\family default
s and
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
s.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Using
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
with
\family sans
Slide
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The idea behind an
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
is a slide that sits atop another slide.
Perhaps you wish to discuss a figure on the main
\family sans
Slide
\family default
before displaying the text associated with it.
One way to accomplish this is tape a flap of dark paper over the part of
the
\family sans
Slide
\family default
you want to display later.
This method fails, however, if you wish to overlap one graph with another,
for example.
You would then have to fumble while speaking to align the two separate,
overlapping
\family sans
Slide
\family default
s to align the two graphs.
The use of an
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
environment in both cases makes life much easier.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Each
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
receives the page number of its
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
parent
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
\family sans
Slide
\family default
, appended by
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter

\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
-c
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, etc.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
appended to the page number of the parent
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
\end_layout
\end_inset
Clearly, you want the contents of both the
\family sans
Slide
\family default
and the
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
to each fit on a single physical slide! You should probably consider an
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
part of
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
a
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
Indeed, the \SpecialChar LyX
\family sans
slides
\family default
class provides a visual cue for this: the label at the start of an
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
is shorter than that at the start of a
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
Lastly, when you generate printable output, you'll find alignment markers
in all four corners of both the
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
page and its parent
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
These will assist you in lining up the two physical slides.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The major problem in overlaying two slides is aligning the contents of the
two transparencies.
How much space should you leave for that graph on the second slide? Worse
still, what if you want a graph and a sentence on second slide, but there
is text on the main transparency that goes in between them? You could try
and insert vertical space of the right size.
The better way is to use
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
and
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As their names imply,
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
and
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
are two command-like paragraph environments that make all subsequent text
invisible and visible, respectively.
Note from section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:slideQuirk"
\end_inset
that you don't place anything
\emph on
into
\emph default
these two environments, however.
When you create an
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
, it inserts a centered, sky-blue label into the page reading
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
<Invisible Text Follows>
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
For paragraphs following this label, the parts of the
\family sans
Slide
\family default
[or
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
; it doesn't matter which] where they would be contain instead blank space.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
, the corresponding centered label is
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
<Visible Text Follows>
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in blazing green.
Paragraphs following this label behave normally.
Note that the beginning of a new
\family sans
Slide
\family default
,
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
, or
\family sans
Note
\family default
automatically shuts off an
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
.
It's therefore not necessary to use
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
at the end of a
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By now, it should be obvious how to create overlay transparencies using
the proper combination of
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
and
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
on a
\family sans
Slide
\family default
and
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate

\family sans

\family default
, including everything that will appear on it, whether on the main slide
or on the

\family default

\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Before each figure or paragraph that will appear only on the
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
, insert an
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
environment.
If necessary, insert a
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
environment after the
\family sans

\family default
-only text.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate

\begin_layout Enumerate

\family sans

\family default

\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Within the
\family sans

\family default
, change all of the
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
lines to
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
and vice-versa.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
That's it.
You've just made an
\family sans

\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There's one problem with the way I've designed the \SpecialChar LyX
\family sans
slides
\family default
class: you can't make text in the middle of a paragraph invisible, nor
make text in the middle of an invisible paragraph visible again.
To accomplish this feat, you'll need to use some inlined \SpecialChar LaTeX
codes.

\family sans
Slide
\family default
and
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
, you'll probably want to break up long
\family sans
Note
\family default
s so that they fit on a single sheet of paper.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The purpose of a
\family sans
Note
\family default
is obvious: it contains anything additional you might want to say about
a
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
It could also be used as a sheet of reminders for a particular
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
In the case of the latter, you might want to make use of time markers.
Currently, the \SpecialChar LyX
\family sans
slides
\family default
class has no
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
native
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
support for time markers, a
\noun on
Sli\SpecialChar TeX
\noun default
feature.
So, you'll have to resort to using the \SpecialChar LaTeX
codes.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To use time markers, you'll need to specify the extra class option
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
clock
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
[see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:slidesetup"
\end_inset
].
This option turns on timing marks, which will appear in the lower-left-hand
corner of every
\family sans
Note
\family default
you generate.
To set what appears in the time marker, you use the \SpecialChar LaTeX
commands
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
settime{}
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
addtime{}
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
The arguments of both commands are time measured in seconds.
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
settime{}
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
sets the time marker to a given time.
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
addtime{}
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
increments the time marker by the specified amount.
Using time markers and
\family sans
Note
\family default
s in this fashion, you can remind yourself how much time to spend on a particula
r
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There's one last feature to describe.
Clearly, you'd like to print out all of your
\family sans
Slide
\family default
s and
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
s on transparencies while printing all of your
\family sans
Note
\family default
s on plain paper.
However, a
\family sans
Note
\family default
\emph on
must
\emph default
follow the
\family sans
Slide
\family default
with which it is associated.
What's a person to do?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Luckily, there are two \SpecialChar LaTeX
commands that allow you to select what to print
out.
Both must be placed into the preamble of your document.
The command
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
onlyslides{
\backslash
slides}
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
will cause the output to contain only the
\family sans
Slide
\family default
s and
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
s.
Correspondingly, the command
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
onlynotes{
\backslash
notes}
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
prevents the output of anything but
\family sans
Note
\family default
s.
I'd advise placing both commands in the preamble and initially comment
both out.
You can then preview your entire presentation as you write.
When you're done writing, you can then uncomment one of the two to select
what you want to print.
I like to uncomment
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
onlyslides{
\backslash
slides}
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, print to a file with
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter

\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in its name, comment it back out, then uncomment
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
onlynotes{
\backslash

\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and print to a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
*-notes.ps
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
file.
I can then send either file to a printer, loading transparencies or plain
paper as appropriate.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can also provide other arguments to the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

and
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\end_layout
\end_inset
in frustration because some constructs in \SpecialChar LaTeX
are sometimes non-intuitive,
and easy to forget.
The program runs over your \SpecialChar LaTeX
file, checks the integrity of the file, and
flags some common errors.
In other technical words, it is
\family typewriter
lint
\family default
for \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Well, what is a syntax checker doing in \SpecialChar LyX
which is supposed to produce correct
\SpecialChar LaTeX
anyways? The answer is simple: Just as
\family typewriter
Lint
\family default
not only checks the
\emph on
syntax
\emph default
of C programs, but also does
\emph on
semantic
\emph default
checks for type-errors,
\family sans
Chk\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
catches some common
\emph on
typographic
\emph default
errors, in addition to the syntactical ones.
Specifically,
\family sans
Chk\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
is capable of detecting several common errors, such as
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Ellipsis detection:
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
Use \SpecialChar ldots
instead of ...
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
No space in front of/after parenthesis:
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
( wrong spacing )
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Enforcement of normal space after common abbreviations:
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
is too wide spacing.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Enforcement of end-of-sentence space when the last sentence ends with a
capital letter:
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
This is a TEST.
And this is wrong spacing.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Space in front of labels and similar commands:
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
The label should stick right up to the text to avoid falling to a wrong
page.

If you have bad luck, the text will break right between the referenced text

and more \SpecialChar ldots
It is an invaluable tool when you are
\begin_inset Quotes eld

finishing up

How to use it
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you have the program installed, usage is as simple as choosing
\family sans
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Check
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
TeX
\family default
.
This will make \SpecialChar LyX
generate a \SpecialChar LaTeX
file of your document, start
\family sans
Chk\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
to check it, and then make \SpecialChar LyX
insert
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
error boxes
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
with the warnings from
\family sans
Chk\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
, if there were any.
The warnings will be placed close to the point of the mistake, and you
can quickly find them by using the
\family sans
Navigate\SpecialChar menuseparator
Error
\family default
menu item, or the shortcut key
\family sans
C-g
\family default
from the default
\family typewriter
cua
\family default
bind file.
Open the error boxes by clicking on them with the mouse, or use the shortcut
key
\family sans
C-i
\family default
from
\family typewriter
cua
\family default
bindings, or the corresponding
\family sans
C-o
\family default
for the alternate
\family typewriter
emacs
\family default
bind file.
Read the warning and correct the mistake, if it is a mistake.
If you have trouble understanding what the warning is about, you can safely
ignore it.
Remember that there is a hidden layer between the document on screen and
the technical details in invoking
\family sans
Chk\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
, and this gap can make some warnings seem arcane or just plain silly.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This document is an excellent testing bed for the feature, and it should
provide quite a few warnings for you to fiddle with.
Since computers are only so smart, expect most of the warnings to be false
alarms, though.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
How to fine tune it
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Sometimes, you'll find that
\family sans
Chk\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
makes more noise than suits your mood.
Then you can choose not to use it, wait until your mood changes, or try
to customize
\family sans
Chk\SpecialChar TeX
\family default
to get better along with you.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Although

\emph default
very configurable and extensible, you should not expect to solve all problems
with
\family sans

\family default
in \SpecialChar LyX
this way.
Since \SpecialChar LyX
has to generate a somewhat special \SpecialChar LaTeX

, or the global

See below to learn what warnings can be enabled and disabled on the command

Export your document as a raw \SpecialChar LaTeX
file using
\family sans
File\SpecialChar menuseparator
Export\SpecialChar menuseparator

and run
\family typewriter

\family default
manually on that.
Invoked in this way, it can be a hassle to find the corresponding place
in the document inside \SpecialChar LyX
, but with a little patience, you should be able
to do it.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Here follows the warning messages that can be enabled and disabled in
\family sans
Preferences
\family default
.
Use
\family typewriter
-n#

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Notice that you should only use the options that enable and disable warnings,

Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
supports some of the most basic RCS/CVS/SVN/GIT commands.
If you need something a bit more sophisticated you will have to do that
manually in a terminal.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Also note that CVS support is not as good as subversion support so we advise
using SVN instead.
A good place to start learning Subversion is SVN Book

.
In the case of RCS you should read
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
rcsintro
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(a man file, read it with
\family typewriter
man rcsintro
\family default
).
This file describes all the basic features of RCS.
You should especially notice the comment about a RCS directory, and the
notion of a master RCS file (the file ending in
\family typewriter
,v
\family default
).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Before you begin to use the version control features in \SpecialChar LyX
, you should be
familiar with RCS/CVS/SVN/GIT usage.
The implementation in \SpecialChar LyX
assumes a recent version of the GNU RCS or CVS/SVN
package — no guarantees are made for older versions.
Most of the log messages are not currently displayed after operations —
you can check them in the Messages pane if unsure.
Regular users of version control will appreciate VC toolbar, which can
be enabled via

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For introducing your own external commands consult vc-command in the manual
of \SpecialChar LyX
functions.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
It is strongly recommended to store documents in uncompressed format if
using version control (uncheck
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Compressed
\family default
if it is checked): Uncompressed LyX documents are text files and therefore
for merging two different versions by version control systems.
Compressed LyX documents are binary files, which cannot be merged by version
control systems.

RCS commands in \SpecialChar LyX

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This command registers your document with RCS (unless you are under the
directory managed by CVS)\SpecialChar endofsentence
You are asked interactively to supply an initial
description of the document.
The document is now set in Read-Only mode and you have to

Check In Changes
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When you are finished editing a file, you check in your changes.
When you do this, you are asked for a description of the changes.
This is stored in the history log.
The version number is bumped, your changes are applied to the master RCS
file, the document is unlocked and set to Read-Only mode.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
RCS command:
\family typewriter
ci -q -u -m"<description>" <file-name>
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
\family sans
Check Out For Edit
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By doing this you lock the document so that only you can edit it.
This will also make the document Read-Write only for you.
You will usually continue editing for a while and when you are finished
you check in your changes.
The status line is changed to reflect that you have locked the file.

Copy
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This will create a copy of the current document.
Since RCS does not support copy operations natively, the version history
is not preserved, and the copy is added as a new file.
It requires a clean document without any changes since the last checkin.
You are asked for a file name and a description of the copy operation.
After that the copy is created, both locally and in the repository.
If the parent directories of the copied and original document differ, all
relative paths of included files of the copy are adjusted (like in
\family sans
File\SpecialChar menuseparator
Save As
\family default
\SpecialChar ldots
).
Finally, the copy is loaded instead of the original document.

General CVS usage
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you start from scratch with CVS you have to create your repository and
checkout the working copy with external tools.
If you're using a client-server setup you may need to login before doing
the first repository checkout.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If your documents are under revision control and others are using the same
repository problems arise when different changes to the same document at
the same location happen.
Standard CVS repositories don't operate with a file locking mechanism.
This may be surprising, but conflicts only occur if people disagree on
the proper content of the same part of a document.
So, if co-workers are used to communicate regularly, these conflicts occur
rarely.
If they don't communicate they have a fundamental problem anyway.
Nevertheless some people like to work with so called
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
reserved checkouts
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
If they do so the working copy of all files is readonly when checked out
first and the user starts editing after using a special command to make
the working copy writable.
When the changes are checked in the working copy returns to readonly state.
With \SpecialChar LyX
one has to edit the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
.cvsrc
\end_layout
\end_inset
file and add the line
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
cvs -r
\end_layout
\end_inset
to work with reserved checkouts.
The benefit is the possibility to see who is using a writable copy of some
document.
It's not guaranteed only one user makes a copy writable.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
tries to guess if you're using reserved or non-reserved checkouts.
If your working copy is readonly or it is writable and an additional copy
of your document exists in the CVS/Base sub-directory a reserved otherwise
a non-reserved checkout is assumed.
When a reserved checkout is detected you have to use
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Check Out
\end_layout
\end_inset
2013-02-03 16:03:08 +00:00
to make your working copy writable if it's readonly.
After doing so the
\begin_inset Flex Noun

\begin_layout Plain Layout

operation is possible and that makes your working copy readonly again after
transferring your changes to the repository.

\SpecialChar LyX
supports updating the whole tree in which resides the document.
This become especially useful once you cooperate with people which neither

You have to organize the files structure so that all external files are

This will rename the current document including the version history.
It requires a clean document without any changes since the last checkin.
You are asked for a file name and a description of the rename operation.
After that the document is renamed, both locally and in the repository.
If the parent directories of the new and old file names differ, all relative

File Locking
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "subsec:SVN-File-Locking"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The file exchange through various revision control systems brings the problem
of merge conflicts in case two different users try to edit the same (parts
of) document.
When such a conflict happens it needs manual resolving and one reasonable
alternative is to provide some kind of locking mechanism, which guarantees
that only one user is allowed to edit file at the given time.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
SVN has two such mechanisms to provide mutual exclusivity for file access
- locks and automatic setting of write permissions (see sec.
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Automatical-Locking-Property"
\end_inset
) based on
\begin_inset Flex Code

file svn property
\begin_inset Foot
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.advanced.locking.html
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
If this property is detected for a given document \SpecialChar LyX
starts to use SVN locks
for document editing automatically and the whole check-in/out mechanism
switches to the same regimen as for RCS.
This in particular means there are two different modes of file use in \SpecialChar LyX
:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Unlocked state.
The loaded file is in the read-only mode.
For editing on needs to check-out.
\emph on
Check-out
\emph default
consists of updating from the repository and gaining write lock.
If the lock is not possible to obtain, we remain in unlocked state.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Locked state.
The loaded file is in the 'normal' edit mode.
No other user is allowed to edit the file.
\emph on
Check-in
\emph default
consists of commiting changes and releasing write-lock.
If no changes have been made to the document, no commit will be produced
\begin_inset Foot

Don't be puzzled by the fact that you will be asked for commit message anyway.

You can obtain this info via InsetInfo (e.g.

The information will be available only when you have the file stored under
svn managment (i.e.
the

\end_inset
directory is available with your document).
\end_layout

Another—a hacking one—possibility is to use svn keywords
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.props.special.keywords.html
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
In short you set file keywords property (e.g.
\family sans
svn propset svn:keywords 'Rev' file.lyx
\family default
) and then paste keyword \SpecialChar TeX
code
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
This is an easy way how to ensure that \SpecialChar LyX
won't break the line in the middle
of keyword tag.
\end_layout
\end_inset
tag in your document (e.g.
\begin_inset ERT
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
$Rev$
\end_layout
\end_inset
).
This way svn client will automatically substitute revision number (e.g.
\begin_inset ERT
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
$Rev: 59 $
\end_layout
\end_inset
) after each update and commit.
There are more problems with this approach.
Firstly, the '$' character is used in \SpecialChar TeX
world for math equations, so any
occurence of math formula
\begin_inset Formula $Rev$
\end_inset
become
\begin_inset Formula $Rev:59$
\end_inset
in your \SpecialChar LyX
document.
Similarly for other keywords like Id, Date, Author, etc.
Secondly svn output is dependent on your locales, so its very easy that
svn would produce some problematic strings once Date is used.
Thirdly you get the whole 'Rev: 59' string in your document instead of
the plain number.
Until subversion implements user's custom keywords it will be hard to use
this approach reliably or let \SpecialChar LyX
to support it directly.

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Preparation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In addition to installing \SpecialChar LyX
, and having access to a Subversion repository,
the user will need to install the Subversion client program.
A Windows installer for the client program is available from
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "CollabNet"
target "http://www.collab.net/nonav/downloads/subversion/"
literal "false"
\end_inset
.
The user may also want to install
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "TortoiseSVN"
target "http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/"
literal "false"
\end_inset
, which integrates Subversion operations into the context (rightclick) menu
of Windows Explorer.
Operations done outside \SpecialChar LyX
will typically be more convenient using the Explorer
context menu.
Note that TortoiseSVN is not a replacement for the client program, which
is what \SpecialChar LyX
itself will use.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Bringing a document under Subversion control
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Before a \SpecialChar LyX
document can be brought under version control in Subversion, its
parent directory needs to be under version control.
If the document is being added to a project already in the repository,
this is accomplished by checking the project out to the directory where
the new document will be placed.
If the project itself is not yet under version control (for instance, if
this document starts a new project), the directory must be imported into
the repository.
This is done outside \SpecialChar LyX
.
Both import and checkout are easily accomplished from the Explorer context
menu using TortoiseSVN, or alternatively can be done using the command
line client at a DOS prompt.
The procedure for importing the project using TortoiseSVN is described
below, assuming an existing repository and a new project being started
in

If things fail, try to connect via plink without SVN first.

One big difference of GIT and the other supported version control systems
is the distributed nature of GIT: With traditional version control systems
there is one central server which hosts the repository.
Users commit their changes to the server, and get updates made by other
users from it.
With GIT, users commit to a local repository.
The local repository can be synchronized with one or more remote repositories
using the
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
GIT commands.
\SpecialChar LyX
does not interact in any way with remote GIT repositories.
It works exclusively with the local repository in a very similar way as
with a central CVS or SVN repository.
If you use remote GIT repositories you need to do the

Further tuning
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
With the recent addition of the vc-command function \SpecialChar LyX
power users are allowed
to create their own commands for revision control.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As an example you can see how two TortoiseSVN commands could be integrated
directly:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description

\begin_layout Subsection
Version control and Document comparison
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
One of the typical uses of version control is to inspect the changes between
revisions, usually by creating
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
diff
\end_layout
\end_inset
dumps.
While this is useful for plain text files, it is much less useful in the
case of \SpecialChar LyX
files, which have more a complicated structure.
Hence we provide binding to the Document comparison feature.
There are two ways of calling this feature - either by direct call of
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
VC_COMPARE
\end_layout
\end_inset
\SpecialChar LyX
function (for details see \SpecialChar LyX
functions manual) or by icon/menu item
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Compare with older revision...
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
One can either compare two chosen revisions of the document or he can simply
compare the current version of edited text with older revisions (where
'
\begin_inset Flex Noun
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
0
\end_layout
\end_inset
' revisions back means comparison of the edited file with last commited
revision).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This feature is supported for SVN and RCS though due to the more complicated
versioning scheme of RCS there is a constraint when addressing the revisions
in dialog, numbers always point to the last number in RCS revision number,
i.e.
'35' in '1.2.35'.
We don't currently support GIT addressing of revisions, one can just compare
edited document with its revision X steps backs, where X is addressed as
HEAD~X.

From the Literate Programming FAQ:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quotation
Literate programming is the combination of documentation and source together
in a fashion suited for reading by human beings.
In fact, literate programs should be enjoyable reading, even inviting!
(Sorry Bob, I couldn't resist!) In general, literate programs combine source
and documentation in a single file.
Literate programming tools then parse the file to produce either readable
documentation or compilable source.
The WEB style of literate programming was created by D.

Generating the documentation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
At this point you already have a new document file with a proper document

DVI,
\family default
etc.
Just like you would do for a plain document.
No special procedure is required.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Independence from a particular

\end_layout
\begin_layout Paragraph
Generating the code
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When the build menu option is chosen or the corresponding button in the
toolbar is pressed, a \SpecialChar LaTeX
file is generated just like step 1 above.
Next, \SpecialChar LyX
invokes the
\family typewriter
Noweb->Program
\family default
converter.
This converter needs to be defined by the user and is not installed by
default, though the Program format is.
This converter (like any other converter) will have two parts:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
The converter program itself.
This program performs the conversion from the one format to the other (in
this case, from the Noweb format to the Program pseudo-format).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
The error log parser.
This is a program whose sole purpose is to rewrite error messages in a
format that \SpecialChar LyX
understands.
This makes it possible for \SpecialChar LyX
to place error boxes in the right places in
the file buffer.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The first part, the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Converter
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
setting, should be set to
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
build-script $$i
\family default
$$r
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
This basically means that \SpecialChar LyX
will call
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
build-script
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(a program or script) with the name of the Noweb file (normally a file
in the \SpecialChar LyX
temp directory) and the directory path of the original \SpecialChar LyX
file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This is an implementation of
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
build-script
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
that you can place in a directory on your path:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset VSpace defskip
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Newpage pagebreak
\end_inset

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset VSpace defskip
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The next part of the converter setting is the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Flags
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
which is to be set to
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
parselog=$$s/scripts/listerrors
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
This will run any errors that are generated by the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
build-script
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
process through the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
listerrors
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
program.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The build will normally take place in \SpecialChar LyX
's temporary directory, so the files
produced by the conversion will be in that directory.
\SpecialChar LyX
will copy out what it regards as the `main' file, but the
\family typewriter
Noweb->Program
\family default
conversion may produce several files, and so most of these would then be
deleted when \SpecialChar LyX
was closed.
This is why we pass in the NOWEB_OUTPUT_DIR environment variable so that
the build-script chunk can place the generated files in that location.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Paragraph
Build instructions in the document
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The last piece of the integration between \SpecialChar LyX
and noweb is the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
build-script
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
chunk.
Generally, the instructions for building your program should be embedded
in a chunk of its own.
The noweb-specific
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
build-script
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
above uses the notangle command to look for this chunk (called
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
build-script
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
) and runs its contents through
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
sh
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Typically, such a chunk would look something like this:
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
<<build-script>>=
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
#!/bin/sh
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
if [ -z "${NOWEB_SOURCE}" ]
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
then
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code

\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
[...

Debug extensions

There is also a new function implemented in the \SpecialChar LyX
server, the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
server-goto-file-row" function, to be used with ddd/gdb or other debugger.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When debugging code with ddd/gdb, it is possible to invoke a text editor
at the current execution position with a single key stroke.
The default ddd configuration for that is shift-ctrl-V.
It happens that you can define the editor command line invocation in ddd
by accessing the
\family sans
Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator
Preferences\SpecialChar menuseparator
Helpers
\family default
dialog and changing the "Edit Sources" entry.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
I take advantage of the newly created \SpecialChar LyX
server function and this ddd feature,
and set
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset VSpace defskip
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
With this, whenever you are using ddd and find a point in the program that
you want to edit, you just press shift-ctrl-V (in the ddd window), and
ddd will forward this information to \SpecialChar LyX
through the \SpecialChar LyX
server and then the
\SpecialChar LyX
window will show the same file with the cursor at the same position ddd
was pointing to.
No more guessing or long scrolling to locate a point in the program back
from debugging !
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note however that you must enable the \SpecialChar LyX

It was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London was interested, and
the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of the Honourable Ronald
Adair under most unusual and inexplicable circumstances.
The public has already learned those particulars of the crime which came
out in the police investigation, but a good deal was suppressed upon that
occasion, since the case for the prosecution was so overwhelmingly strong
that it was not necessary to bring forward all the facts.
Only now, at the end of nearly ten years, am I allowed to supply those
missing links which make up the whole of that remarkable chain.
The crime was of interest in itself, but that interest was as nothing to
me compared to the inconceivable sequel, which afforded me the greatest
shock and surprise of any event in my adventurous life.
Even now, after this long interval, I find myself thrilling as I think
of it, and feeling once more that sudden flood of joy, amazement, and increduli
ty which utterly submerged my mind.
Let me say to that public, which has shown some interest in those glimpses
which I have occasionally given them of the thoughts and actions of a very
remarkable man, that they are not to blame me if I have not shared my knowledge
with them, for I should have considered it my first duty to do so, had
I not been barred by a positive prohibition from his own lips, which was
only withdrawn upon the third of last month.

It can be imagined that my close intimacy with Sherlock Holmes had interested
me deeply in crime, and that after his disappearance I never failed to
read with care the various problems which came before the public.
And I even attempted, more than once, for my own private satisfaction,
to employ his methods in their solution, though with indifferent success.
There was none, however, which appealed to me like this tragedy of Ronald
Adair.
As I read the evidence at the inquest, which led up to a verdict of willful
murder against some person or persons unknown, I realized more clearly
than I had ever done the loss which the community had sustained by the
death of Sherlock Holmes.
There were points about this strange business which would, I was sure,
have specially appealed to him, and the efforts of the police would have
been supplemented, or more probably anticipated, by the trained observation
and the alert mind of the first criminal agent in Europe.
All day, as I drove upon my round, I turned over the case in my mind and
found no explanation which appeared to me to be adequate.
At the risk of telling a twice-told tale, I will recapitulate the facts
as they were known to the public at the conclusion of the inquest.

The youth moved in the best societyhad, so far as was known, no enemies
and no particular vices.
He had been engaged to Miss Edith Woodley, of Carstairs, but the engagement
had been broken off by mutual consent some months before, and there was
no sign that it had left any very profound feeling behind it.
For the rest {sic} the man's life moved in a narrow and conventional circle,
for his habits were quiet and his nature unemotional.
Yet it was upon this easy-going young aristocrat that death came, in most
strange and unexpected form, between the hours of ten and eleven-twenty
on the night of March 30, 1894.

Ronald Adair was fond of cardsplaying continually, but never for such stakes
as would hurt him.
He was a member of the Baldwin, the Cavendish, and the Bagatelle card clubs.
It was shown that, after dinner on the day of his death, he had played
a rubber of whist at the latter club.
He had also played there in the afternoon.
\size default

The evidence of those who had played with him Mr.
Murray, Sir John Hardy, and Colonel Moranshowed that the game was whist,
and that there was a fairly equal fall of the cards.
Adair might have lost five pounds, but not more.
His fortune was a considerable one, and such a loss could not in any way
affect him.
He had played nearly every day at one club or other, but he was a cautious
player, and usually rose a winner.
It came out in evidence that, in partnership with Colonel Moran, he had
actually won as much as four hundred and twenty pounds in a sitting, some
weeks before, from Godfrey Milner and Lord Balmoral.
So much for his recent history as it came out at the inquest.

On the evening of the crime, he returned from the club exactly at ten.
His mother and sister were out spending the evening with a relation.
The servant deposed that she heard him enter the front room on the second
floor, generally used as his sitting-room.
She had lit a fire there, and as it smoked she had opened the window.
No sound was heard from the room until eleven-twenty, the hour of the return
of Lady Maynooth and her daughter.
Desiring to say good-night, she attempted to enter her son's room.
The door was locked on the inside, and no answer could be got to their
cries and knocking.
Help was obtained, and the door forced.
The unfortunate young man was found lying near the table.
His head had been horribly mutilated by an expanding revolver bullet, but
no weapon of any sort was to be found in the room.

A minute examination of the circumstances served only to make the case more
complex.
In the first place, no reason could be given why the young man should have
fastened the door upon the inside.
There was the possibility that the murderer had done this, and had afterwards
escaped by the window.
The drop was at least twenty feet, however, and a bed of crocuses in full
bloom lay beneath.
Neither the flowers nor the earth showed any sign of having been disturbed,
nor were there any marks upon the narrow strip of grass which separated
the house from the road.
Apparently, therefore, it was the young man himself who had fastened the
door.
But how did he come by his death? No one could have climbed up to the window
without leaving traces.
Suppose a man had fired through the window, he would indeed be a remarkable
shot who could with a revolver inflict so deadly a wound.
Again, Park Lane is a frequented thoroughfare; there is a cab stand within
a hundred yards of the house.
No one had heard a shot.

All day I turned these facts over in my mind, endeavouring to hit upon some
theory which could reconcile them all, and to find that line of least resistanc

I confess that I made little progress.
In the evening I strolled across the Park, and found myself about six o'clock
at the Oxford Street end of Park Lane.
A group of loafers upon the pavements, all staring up at a particular window,
directed me to the house which I had come to see.
A tall, thin man with coloured glasses, whom I strongly suspected of being
a plain-clothes detective, was pointing out some theory of his own, while
the others crowded round to listen to what he said.
I got as near him as I could, but his observations seemed to me to be absurd,
so I withdrew again in some disgust.
As I did so I struck against an elderly, deformed man, who had been behind

427 Park Lane did little to clear up the problem in which I was interested.
The house was separated from the street by a low wall and railing, the
whole not more than five feet high.
It was perfectly easy, therefore, for anyone to get into the garden, but
the window was entirely inaccessible, since there was no water pipe or
anything which could help the most active man to climb it.
More puzzled than ever, I retraced my steps to Kensington.
I had not been in my study five minutes when the maid entered to say that
a person desired to see me.
To my astonishment it was none other than my strange old book collector,
his sharp, wizened face peering out from a frame of white hair, and his
precious volumes, a dozen of them at least, wedged under his right arm.

takes care that the shape will always be preserved, no matter how much

Therefore the paragraph size changes with the amount of contained text.

An exception is the shape
\family sans

.
It cannot be scaled because it must fit the size of a CD/DVD.
Therefore the amount of text that fits into the shape is limited.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
The
\family sans
drop
\family default
shapes and the
\family sans
circle
\family default
shape are fragile, meaning that the calculation of their size can fail,
depending on the amount of text.
You will then get the \SpecialChar LaTeX
error
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Arithmetic overflow
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

In this case one can try to remove or add some text; if nothing works one
has to use another shape.

For shapes with tips you will maybe see that \SpecialChar LaTeX

for text in the tips.
Therefore it is often necessary to add hyphenation points
\family sans

) to the corresponding text parts.

Shapepar paragraphs are either always centered or placed on the page so
that their left border touches the left page margin.
You can therefore not use the paragraph dialog to align such paragraphs.
A solution is to put the paragraph into a minipage or parbox and align
the box.
The problem is hereby to find the right width for the box.
Because if it is too wide and you center the box, the paragraph is not
centered too because it sticks at the left side of the box.
So you might have to play a bit with the width until it fits.
Here are two heart-shaped paragraphs, the first one is not aligned, the
second one is right-aligned:

Custom shapes

\begin_layout Standard
You can define any shape you want.
Doing this manually is a lot of work because every coordinate must be specified.
But there is a way to let the computer calculate the coordinates:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Install the program
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "Jpgfdraw"
target "http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/jpgfdraw"
literal "false"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
In
\family sans
Jpgfdraw
\family default
go to the menu
\family sans
TeX/LaTeX\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Set Normal Size
\family default
and select the font size you are using in your document.
For example this document uses the size 12
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
pt.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Draw a shape.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Use the menu
\family sans
TeX/LaTeX\SpecialChar menuseparator
Shapepar
\family default
to export the shape to coordinates.
In the appearing dialog use either the outline of your shape for the coordinate
s or the path itself.

\begin_layout Standard
The coordinates are written into a \SpecialChar TeX
file.
To use it for your \SpecialChar LyX
document
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Place the cursor before the first character of your paragraph (or into a
new empty one).

A tip:
\series default
to draw complexer shapes in
\family sans
Jpgfdraw
\family default
you can draw the shape in a program of your choice and import the resulting
image to
\family sans
Jpgfdraw
\family default
.
Then you only need to draw a line or spline along the outline of the image.

also provides the two commands
\family sans
shapepar
\family default
and
\family sans

\family default
which can be used to define custom shapes coordinate by coordinate.
