Introduction
\layout Section
What is LyX?
\layout Standard
LyX is a document preparation system.
It is a tool for producing beautiful manuscripts, publishable books, business
letters and proposals, and even poetry.
It is unlike most other
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
word processors
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the sense that it uses the paradigm of a markup language as its core
editing style.
That means that when you type a section header, you mark it as a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Section
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, not
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Bold, 17 pt type, left justified, 5 mm space below
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
LyX takes care of the typesetting for you, so you deal only with concepts,
not the mechanics.
\layout Standard
This philosophy is explained in much greater detail in the
\emph on
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Introduction
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
\emph default
.
If you haven't read it yet, you need to.
Yes, we mean now.
\layout Standard
The
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\emph on
Introduction
\emph default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
describes several things in addition to LyX's philosophy: most importantly,
the format of all of the manuals.
If you don't read it, you'll have a bear of a time navigating this manual.
You might also be better served looking in one of the other manuals instead
of this one.
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\emph on
Introduction
\emph default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
describes that, too.
\layout Section
Getting Started
\layout Subsection
Invoking LyX
\layout Standard
Similar to other Linux [and other brands of Unix] programs, you start LyX
by simply typing
\family typewriter
lyx
\family default
at the command line.
You can, of course, include several command-line options, including file
names.
We're not going to repeat all of the command-line options here, since we've
already done that in the
\family typewriter
man
\family default
page for LyX.
Check there for more info.
\layout Standard
There are one or two things we'd like to comment on:
\layout Standard
Please note that if you include more than one file name on the command line,
LyX will load them all, though it won't display them all simultaneously.
More on that in a bit.
\layout Subsection
How LyX Looks
\layout Standard
Like most applications, LyX has the familiar menu bar across the top of
its window.
Below it is a toolbar with a pulldown box and various buttons.
There is, of course, a vertical scrollbar and a main work area for editing
documents.
Near the bottom of the window is a small window containing a single line
of text.
This is the
\emph on
minibuffer
\emph default
(a term which we've swiped, lock, stock, and barrel, from GNU Emacs), which
really means
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
command buffer
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
Type
\family sans
M-x
\family default
when you need to type a command in the minibuffer.
\layout Standard
Note that there is no horizontal scroll bar.
This is not a bug or an oversight, but intentional.
When you read a book, you expect the end of a line to wrap around to the
next line.
Text overflows onto new pages in a vertical fashion, hence the need for
only a vertical scrollbar.
\layout Standard
There are three cases where you might want a horizontal scrollbar.
The first case is large figures, displayed WYSIWYG\SpecialChar \@.
This, however, is due
to a flaw in the routine that displays graphics on the LyX screen in a
WYSIWYG fashion; it should rescale the graphics to fit in the window, just
as you'd need to rescale graphics to fit on a page.
The second and third cases are tables and equations which are wider than
the LyX window.
You can use the arrow keys to scroll horizontally through the table, but
this doesn't work for equations yet.
\layout Subsection
HELP!
\layout Standard
First, the bad news: the help system is not as thorough or idiot-proof as
in many commercial applications.
Patience.
We're working on it.
\layout Standard
Now the good news: the help system consists of the LyX manuals.
You can read
\emph on
all
\emph default
of the manuals from inside LyX.
Just select the manual you want read from the
\family sans
\bar under
H
\bar default
elp
\family default
menu.
\layout Standard
While we're at it, we'd like to make a comment about the manuals.
They're not idiot-proof, not in the least.
Here's what one of our authors,
\noun on
John Weiss
\noun default
, once said about manuals:
\layout Quotation
I hate manuals.
\layout Quotation
Yes, we've all dealt with the terse, poorly-translated, or cryptic manuals.
They are aggravating.
I find, however, that the overly simplified ones are even more aggravating.
First, they spend about half their time carefully explaining to the user
how to operate a mouse, what a menu is, et cetera, ad nauseum.
Please, if someone doesn't know how to use their own computer, or a GUI,
then they should sit down and learn
\emph on
before
\emph default
they start up a major piece of software.
\layout Quotation
Second, what information they do provide seems to assume that the user is
stupid.
Utter nonsense! Most users, in my experience, are some combination of clueless
and intimidated, not stupid.
Besides, if someone is truly slow on the uptake, they need help that a
manual for a piece of computer software can't give.
\layout Standard
\emph on
Editor's Note: With this in mind, I've instructed all of the other authors
to avoid patronizing you, the reader, and to be more pedagogical than pedantic.
As for those who are too lazy to read and understand the manuals --- well,
as we say here in America, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Basic File Operations
\layout Standard
Under the
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
ile
\family default
menu are the 9 basic operations for any word processor in addition to some
more advanced operations:
\layout Itemize
\family sans
\bar under
N
\bar default
ew
\layout Itemize
\family sans
New\SpecialChar ~
from
\bar under
\SpecialChar ~
T
\bar default
emplate
\layout Itemize
\family sans
\bar under
O
\bar default
pen
\layout Itemize
\family sans
\bar under
C
\bar default
lose
\layout Itemize
\family sans
\bar under
S
\bar default
ave
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Save\SpecialChar ~
\bar under
A
\bar default
s
\layout Itemize
\family sans
\bar under
R
\bar default
evert
\layout Itemize
\family sans
\bar under
P
\bar default
rint
\layout Itemize
\family sans
E
\bar under
x
\bar default
it
\layout Standard
They all do pretty much the same thing as in other word processors, with
a few minor differences.
The
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
ile\SpecialChar \menuseparator
New\SpecialChar ~
from
\bar under
\SpecialChar ~
T
\bar default
emplate
\family default
command not only prompts you for a name for the new file, but also prompts
you for a template to use.
Selecting a template will automatically set certain layout features for
the document, features you would otherwise need to change manually.
They can be of use for certain classes, especially those for writing letters
[see sec.
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:doc-classes}
\end_inset
]
\layout Standard
Note: There is no
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
default file
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or document named
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Untitled
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
scratch.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
Unless you tell LyX to open a file or create a new one, that big, blank
space is just that --- a big, blank space.
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
\bar under
R
\bar default
evert
\family default
command is useful if more people work on the same document at the same
time
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
If you plan to do this, you should check out the Version Control feature
in LyX also.
Read
\emph on
Extended Features
\emph default
\SpecialChar \@.
\end_inset
.
It will simply reload the document from disk.
You can of course also use it if you regret that you changed a document
and want to restore it to the last save.
\layout Standard
The second matter of note concerns the commands
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
ile\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
C
\bar default
lose
\family default
and
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
ile\SpecialChar \menuseparator
E
\bar under
x
\bar default
it
\family default
.
They both feature a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
nag box
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
to save us all from our own stupidity.
That is, if you try to close a file with changes [or exit LyX], you'll
be informed that there are unsaved files.
\layout Subsection
Basic Editing Features
\layout Standard
Like most modern word processors, LyX can perform cut and paste operations
on blocks of text, can move by character, word, or screenful of text, and
can delete whole words as well as individual characters.
The next four sections cover the basic LyX editing features and how to
access them.
We'll start with cut and paste.
\layout Standard
As you might expect, the
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit
\family default
menu has the cut and paste commands, along with various other editing features.
Some of these are special and covered in later sections.
The basic ones are:
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Cut
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Copy
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Paste
\layout Itemize
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
ind\SpecialChar ~
&\SpecialChar ~
Replace\SpecialChar \ldots{}
\layout Standard
The first three are self-explanatory.
One thing to note: whenever you delete a block of text that you've selected,
it's automatically placed in the clipboard.
That is, the
\family sans
Delete
\family default
and
\family sans
Backspace
\family default
keys also functions as the
\family sans
Cut
\family default
command.
Also, if you've selected text, be careful.
If you hit a key, LyX will completely delete the selected text and replace
it with what you just typed.
You'll have to do an
\family sans
\bar under
U
\bar default
ndo
\family default
to get back the lost text.
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
F
\bar default
ind\SpecialChar ~
&\SpecialChar ~
Replace\SpecialChar \ldots{}
\family default
item opens the
\family sans
Find\SpecialChar ~
&\SpecialChar ~
Replace
\family default
dialog.
The text you want to find goes in the
\family sans
Fi
\bar under
n
\bar default
d
\family default
box.
Once you've found a word or expression, LyX selects it.
Hitting the
\family sans
\bar under
R
\bar default
eplace
\family default
button replaces the selected text with the contents of the
\family sans
Replace\SpecialChar ~
\bar under
w
\bar default
ith
\family default
box.
You can click to search again to skip the current word.
\layout Standard
Hit
\family sans
Replace
\bar under
A
\bar default
ll
\family default
to replace all occurrences of the text in the document automatically.
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
Ca
\bar under
s
\bar default
e\SpecialChar ~
sensitive
\family default
toggle button can be used if you want the search to consider the case of
the search word.
If the toggle is set, searching for
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
Match
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
will not match the word
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
match
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
\bar under
M
\bar default
atch\SpecialChar ~
Word
\family default
toggle button can be used to force LyX to only find complete words.
I.e.
searching for
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
match
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
will not match
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
matches
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
matchbox
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, etc.
\layout Subsection
Undo and Redo
\layout Standard
If you make a mistake, you can easily recover from it.
LyX has a large-capacity undo/redo buffer.
Select
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
U
\bar default
ndo
\family default
to undo some mistake.
If you accidently undo too much, use
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
R
\bar default
edo
\family default
to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
undo the undo.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
The undo mechanism is currently limited to 100 steps to minimise memory
overhead.
\layout Standard
Notice that if you revert back all changes to arrive to the document as
it was last saved, the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
changed
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
status of the document is unfortunately not reset.
This is a consequence of the 100 step undo limit, above.
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
\bar under
U
\bar default
ndo
\family default
and
\family sans
\bar under
R
\bar default
edo
\family default
work on almost everything in LyX.
They have some quirks, too.
They won't
\family sans
\bar under
U
\bar default
ndo
\family default
or
\family sans
\bar under
R
\bar default
edo
\family default
text character by character, but by blocks of text.
That can take some getting used to; you'll have to play with
\family sans
\bar under
U
\bar default
ndo
\family default
and
\family sans
\bar under
R
\bar default
edo
\family default
to get a feel for just how much they'll undo/redo, and after time, you'll
hopefully appreciate how it works.
\layout Subsection
Basic Mouse Bindings
\layout Standard
We're not going to go into all of the mouse bindings here.
Some of the other sections of this manual cover specific operations you
can do with the mouse.
Instead, we're going to cover the most basic mouse operations.
\layout Enumerate
Motion
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
Click the
\emph on
left mouse button
\emph default
once anywhere in the edit window.
The cursor moves to the text under the mouse.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Selecting Text
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
Hold down the
\emph on
left mouse button
\emph default
and drag the mouse.
LyX marks the text between the old and new mouse positions.
Use
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Copy
\family default
to create a copy of the text in LyX's buffer.
\layout Itemize
Re-position the cursor and then paste the text back into LyX using
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Paste
\family default
.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Footnotes, Margin Notes, Figure and Table Floats, etc.
\begin_deeper

Also check the appropriate section of this manual for more details.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Tables
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
\emph on
Single click
\emph default
the right mouse button
\emph on
\emph default
to open a dialog that will allow you to manipulate the table.
\end_deeper
\layout Subsection
Basic Key Bindings
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec: key bindings}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Again, we're not going to cover all of the keybindings.
Be aware that there are at least two different primary binding maps: CUA
and Emacs.
I guarantee you will cuss when you press Control-d to delete a character,
and it starts up a DVI previewer instead (or vice versa).
\layout Standard
Some keys, like
\family sans
Page\SpecialChar ~
Up
\family default
,
\family sans
Page\SpecialChar ~
Down
\family default
,
\family sans
Left
\family default
,
\family sans
Right
\family default
,
\family sans
Up
\family default
, and
\family sans
Down
\family default
, do exactly what you expect them to do.
Other keys don't:
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
\family sans
Tab
\family default
There is no such thing as a tab stop in LyX.
If you don't understand this, go read Sections
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:parindentintro}
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:par-environments}
\end_inset
, especially Section\SpecialChar ~
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:parenvlists}
\end_inset
, right now.
Yes, right now.
If you're still confused, look in the
\emph on
Tutorial
\emph default
.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
\family sans
Esc
\family default
This is the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
cancel key.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
It's used, generically, to cancel operations.
Other parts of the manual will go into greater detail about this.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
\family sans
Home
\family default
\SpecialChar ~
and\SpecialChar ~
\family sans
End
\family default
These move the cursor, respectively, to the beginning and end of a line,
unless you are using the Emacs bindings where they jump to the beginning
or end of the file.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
\family sans
Backspace
\family default
\SpecialChar ~
and\SpecialChar ~
\family sans
Delete
\family default
\emph on
If
\emph default
you have your keyboard set up correctly under the X Windows System,
\family sans
Backspace
\family default
works as expected and
\family sans
Delete
\family default
deletes the character under the cursor [if no text is selected].
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
If you haven't set up your keyboard under X, or have no idea what we mean
by that, go read section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:x-win-keys}
\end_inset
immediately.
You'll save yourself a lot of headaches.
\end_deeper
\layout Standard
Then there are the modifier keys:
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
\family sans
Control-
\family default
This has a couple of different uses, depending on which keys it's used
in combination with:
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
With
\family sans
Backspace
\family default
or
\family sans
Delete
\family default
, it deletes an entire word instead of a single character.
\layout Itemize
With
\family sans
Left
\family default
and
\family sans
Right
\family default
, it moves by words instead of characters.
\layout Itemize
With
\family sans
Home
\family default
and
\family sans
End
\family default
, it moves to the beginning and the end of the document, respectively.
\end_deeper
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
\family sans
Shift-
\family default
Use this with any of the motion keys to select the text between the old
and new cursor positions.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
\family sans
Meta-
\family default
This is the Alt key on many keyboards, unless your keyboard has a distinct
Meta key.
Unfortunately, X sometimes has their functionality swapped, so if you have
both keys, you will need to do a little trial and error to find out which
one actually performs the
\family sans
Meta-
\family default
function.
This key does many different things, but it also activates the
\emph on
menu accelerator keys
\emph default
.
If you use this in combination with any of the underlined letters in a
menu or menu item, it selects that menu item.
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
For example, the sequence
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
M-e\SpecialChar ~
a
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
pastes text.
Typing
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
M-f
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
opens the
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
ile
\family default
menu.
\layout Standard
There are also other things bound to the
\family sans
Meta-
\family default
key, but you'll have to check in the
\emph on
Reference
\emph default
\emph on
manual
\emph default
for more info.
\end_deeper
\layout Standard
Hopefully, you'll learn more and more keybindings and short-cut keys as
you use LyX, because most mouse actions will prompt a small message in
the minibuffer which describe the name of the action, you've just triggered,
and any existing keybindings for that action.
The notation for the keybindings is very similar to the notation used in
this documentation, so you should not have any problems understanding it.
However, notice that Shift-modifiers are explicitly mentioned, so
\family sans
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
M-p S-A
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
means
\family sans
Meta-p
\family default
followed by a capital
\family sans
A
\family default
.
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
S-C-S
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd

LyX Setup and Supporting Applications

Introduction
\layout Standard
If you're using LyX on a system someone else has set up for you, then you
can safely skip this chapter.
It describes all of the things you need beyond the LyX binary and files
distributed with it.
\layout Standard
If you're installing LyX on your system,

It does describe all of the things you'll need to use LyX to its fullest.
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
This is basically where we decided to document a bunch of info about running
LyX, including what other programs you'll need to make LyX useful.
\end_inset
\layout Section
Basic LyX Setup
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:setup}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
There are two ways to run LyX.
The first way is to install LyX and all of its support files on your system.
Of course, you need root privileges to do that.
The second way to run LyX doesn't require root access, letting you
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
install
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
LyX somewhere in your own account.
LyX will automatically detect where it is as long as the supporting directories
are put in the correct places.
\layout Standard
There are several features of LyX that can be configured from inside LyX,
without resorting to configuration files.
First, LyX is able to inspect your system to see what programs, LaTeX document
classes and LaTeX packages are available.
It uses this knowledge to give reasonable defaults to several
\family typewriter
preferences
\family sans
\family default
variables.
Although this configuration has already been done when LyX was installed
on your system, you might have some items that you installed locally and
which are not seen by LyX.
To force LyX to re-inspect your system, you should use
\family sans
\bar under
T
\bar default
ools\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
R
\bar default
econfigure
\family default
.
You should then restart LyX to ensure that the changes are taken into account.
As far as LaTeX classes and packages are concerned, you will find information
about what has been found under
\family sans
\bar under
H
\bar default
elp\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
L
\bar default
aTeX\SpecialChar ~
Configuration
\family default
.
\layout Standard
The second set of settings that you might want to change comprises all the
document-level setting that you can change via the
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
S
\bar default
ettings
\family default
dialog.
To do this, open a scrap document, set all these options according to your
taste and save them with the
\family sans
\bar under
S
\bar default
ave\SpecialChar ~
as\SpecialChar ~
Document\SpecialChar ~
Defaults
\family default
button in the
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument
\family default
dialog.
This will create a template named
\family typewriter
default.lyx
\family default
which is automatically loaded by LyX when you open a document without template
such that the settings are automatically set-up as you defined them.
\layout Standard
There are many other user-configurable options that you can feed to LyX.
Upon startup, LyX reads a global options file called
\family typewriter
lyxrc.defaults
\family default
.
It will then attempt to read a file called
\family typewriter
~/.lyx/preferences
\family default
beneath your home directory.

files.
\layout Section
Setting Up the X Keyboard
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:x-win-keys}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
To use LyX properly, you
\emph on
must
\emph default
set X up correctly.
This is especially vital if you're using the international support features
of LyX and want to use non-English keyboard mappings.
Unfortunately, almost nobody bothers to do this, especially those who've
installed Linux on a PC\SpecialChar \@.
Administrators of large systems can be guilty of
this, too, so don't assume that you're safe if you're using a large system.
Any user can instruct X how to use his or her keyboard.
\layout Subsection
xmodmap and xkeycaps
\layout Standard
First of all read the man pages for these two programs.
They are your best friends when you are trying to set up X key mapping
correctly.
If you don't have them, install them.
\layout Subsubsection
xmodmap
\layout Standard
This document contains no information on how to use
\family typewriter
xmodmap
\family default
.
There is a sample
\family typewriter
.Xmodmap
\family default
file in
\emph on
Customization
\emph default
.
To load the new X keyboard mappings, place the command
\family typewriter
xmodmap\SpecialChar ~
.Xmodmap
\family default
somewhere in your startup scripts [e.g.
\family typewriter
.cshrc
\family default
,
\family typewriter
.profile
\family default
,
\family typewriter
.login
\family default
or
\family typewriter
.xinitrc
\family default
are possible].
\layout Subsubsection
xkeycaps
\layout Standard
This program is a dream come true! It brings up a graphical version of your
keyboard, allows you to make modifications, and then spits those modifications
out to the standard output in a form readable by
\family typewriter
xmodmap
\family default
.
It is very useful when you're trying to design a new
\family typewriter
.Xmodmap
\family default
file, though it will require you to do a bit of cut-and-pasting.
\layout Subsection
Modifiers and Mode_switch
\layout Standard
LyX supports three modifiers: Shift [
\family sans
S-
\family default
], Control [
\family sans
C-
\family default
], and Meta [
\family sans
M-
\family default
].
Moreover, if one of the keys of your keyboard is configured as a
\family sans
Compose
\family default
key, then you can use it to enter some characters not available on your
keyboard.
This compose key can be used either as a modifier (like
\family sans
Shift
\family default
or
\family sans
Control
\family default
) or as a prefix key.
Here are some examples of what you can do with a
\family sans
Compose
\family default
key:
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Compose+e+'
\family default
\begin_inset Formula $\rightarrow$
\end_inset
<20>
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Compose+O+R
\family default
\begin_inset Formula $\rightarrow$
\end_inset
<20>
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Compose+1+2
\family default
\begin_inset Formula $\rightarrow$
\end_inset
<20>
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Compose+<+<
\family default
\begin_inset Formula $\rightarrow$
\end_inset
<20>
\layout Standard
This input method is particularly handy when you use accented characters
only from time to time.
It works by default for latin1 characters, but other input methods will
be used if you setup your locale correctly.
\layout Subsection
Helpful Hints and Tips
\layout Standard
First, open up two xterminals.
Use one to edit a new
\family typewriter
.Xmodmap
\family default
file and run
\family typewriter
xkeycaps
\family default
from the other.
Using
\family typewriter
xkeycaps
\family default
, remap your keyboard the way you want it.
There's a button in
\family typewriter
xkeycaps
\family default
to output the new keymap.
Once you hit it,
\family typewriter
xkeycaps
\family default
will spit a bunch of stuff on the xterm you executed it from.
Just copy and paste all of that into your
\family typewriter
.Xmodmap
\family default
file, and you're done.
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
You could also save yourself some typing by executing
\family typewriter
xkeycaps > .Xmodmap
\family default
.
This will create a usable map file.
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Also, there are some things you can do to help you get oriented.
Try executing the command
\family typewriter
xmodmap -v -pm
\family default
.
This will show you all of the currently active modifiers.
Also try
\family typewriter
xmodmap -v -pke | more
\family default
to see which keycode numbers are mapped to which symbolic names.
It will also give you some idea of the syntax of the
\family typewriter
.Xmodmap
\family default
file.
\layout Standard
There's one thing you'll need to check.
Make sure that your
\family sans
Delete
\family default
and
\family sans
BackSpace
\family default
keys are
\emph on
not
\emph default
defined as the same key symbol by X! Note that giving these two keys unique
symbol names will not necessarily alter the behavior of your programs.
Some programs bind
\family sans
Delete
\family default
and
\family sans
BackSpace
\family default
to the same operation.
Emacs is one.
Other programs, however, use
\family sans
Delete
\family default
and
\family sans
BackSpace
\family default
for different operations.
LyX is one of these programs, and if you have
\family sans
Delete
\family default
and
\family sans
BackSpace
\family default
labeled with the same key symbol name, you'll have trouble using LyX.
\layout Section
LaTeX
\layout Standard
If you want to do more with LyX than simply create documents and spit out
\family typewriter
.tex
\family default
files, you'll need LaTeX.
\layout Standard
In case you were wondering, LaTeX is a markup language front end for TeX,
a document preparation system invented in 1984 by Donald Knuth.
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
A note about pronunciation: TeX originated from the Greek letters,
\begin_inset Formula $\tau\epsilon\chi$
\end_inset
, which rhymes with
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
blech.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
That's how you pronounce
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
TeX
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
LaTeX.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
[If you're American, just pronounce the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
X
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
as a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
k
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and you've got it.]
\end_inset
TeX takes a set of commands in an ASCII file and converts it to a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
device-independent
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
format, or Dvi, for short.
The Dvi file can then be sent to printers.
TeX is programmable, and LaTeX is nothing but a [really huge] set of TeX
macros.
LaTeX will typically come as part of a TeX distribution, so all you need
is a TeX package.
\layout Standard
Note that on some old systems you may find that only LaTeX 2.09 is installed
(as opposed to the more current LaTeX2e).
LyX cannot be used with LaTeX 2.09.
\layout Standard
If you're using Linux, LaTeX2e should have come with your distribution.
For other systems, you might need to install LaTeX yourself.You can obtain
a LaTeX distribution (and anything and everything related to TeX and LaTeX)
from a Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) mirror.
A complete list of mirrors may be found at

Dvips and Ghostscript
\layout Subsection
What You Need
\layout Standard
There's one more step you need to take if you want to print your LyX documents.
Obviously, you'll need to make sure your printer is configured [see next
section].
You'll also need to install these programs (or compatibles), if you don't
have them already:
\layout Itemize
\family typewriter
dvips
\layout Itemize
\family typewriter
ghostscript
\layout Itemize
\family typewriter
xdvi
\layout Itemize

\layout Standard
The latter two programs are previewer for files in Dvi and PostScript<70>

\end_inset
format.
If you don't know what a DVI file is, you've probably also never worked
with LaTeX and should read the
\emph on
Tutorial
\emph default
document before proceeding further.
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
converts DVI files into PostScript, which is the format most printers use
nowadays.
For those of you using dot-matrix and inkjet printers, you'll want to filter
the PostScript through
\family typewriter
ghostscript
\family default
, which is capable of creating output for a variety of printers.
The following section on printer setup describes how to do this automatically
every time you print.
For now, we'll concentrate on
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
.
\layout Subsection
Dvips
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:dvipsconfig}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Whether you'll be running LyX on a large system or a Linux box at home,
you should configure
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
.
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
will either
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
print
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
into a file, or send output directly to the printer, depending on how it's
configured.
If it is set up to print to a file, and if no filename is specified, it
will simply turn
\family typewriter
foo.dvi
\family default
into
\family typewriter
foo.ps
\family default
.
Most systems have
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
set up to send output to the default printer.
For LyX, you'll want the flexibility to do both.
\layout Standard
If you are not a mood to configure
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
to adapt its output to your printer, you can safely skip this section.
Be warned however that the output will not match the quality that you could
expect from your printer.
At least, it will print.
\layout Standard
If you are using teTeX (a TeX distribution which is particularly popular
on Linux), you should run the program
\family typewriter
texconfig
\family default
.
To make the name of a new printer recognized by
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
you should then select menu entry
\family sans
Dvips
\family default
, then add.
Enter the required parameters and, before exiting, remember to select the
function
\family sans
Rehash
\family default
.
\layout Standard
Let's turn now to manual configuration: in order to inform
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
how to automagically convert a
\family typewriter
.dvi
\family default
file into a
\family typewriter
.ps
\family default
file adapted to printer
\family typewriter
foo
\family default
, you need to have a config-file,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
config.foo
\family default
,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
lying around somewhere.
Typically, the
\family typewriter
config.*
\family default
files for
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
will be in
\family typewriter
/usr/lib/texmf/dvips
\family default
in most TeX distributions.
Your system will probably be different, of course, so just look under the
main TeX directory for a subdirectory called
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
It'll be there somewhere.
\layout Standard
Typically, there will be at least one config-file:
\family typewriter
config.ps
\family default
.
This file is the default configuration file, which is
\emph on
always
\emph default
read by dvips
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
In particular, this file is not necessarily connected to the existence of
a file named
\family typewriter
ps
\family default
.
\end_inset
.
Read this file and see what options could need to be changed for your particula
r printer.
Then create a file
\family typewriter
config.foo
\family default
containing only the relevant lines.
\layout Standard
There's at least one thing you need to do to the config-file.
There may exist a line that looks like,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
o | lpr
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
[without the quotes, of course\SpecialChar \ldots{}
].
Change it to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
o | lpr -Pfoo
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, so that the output is sent by default to printer
\family typewriter
foo
\family default
.
However, you should probably investigate the entries
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
M
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
D
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, which define respectively the Metafont mode and the resolution of the
printer.
If you do not know what a Metafont mode is, you can see it as a printer
driver: it adapts the design of TeX fonts to ensure that they give the
best possible result on your printer.
Be warned however that, if you define different Metafont modes for different
printers,
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
will generate several copies of your TeX fonts on disk, and these take
valuable space.
\layout Standard
Once you are satisfied that your printers are correctly configured, you
should tell LyX to make use of this configuration.
To do this, you should launch the
\family sans
Preferences
\family default
dialog (
\family sans
\bar under
T
\bar default
ools\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
P
\bar default
references
\family default
) and set the entries
\family sans
Adapt\SpecialChar ~
output
\family default
and
\family sans
Spool\SpecialChar ~
command
\family default
.
\layout Standard
You can use as many configuration files as you like, one for each of your
printers.
The default printer for LyX can be specified from the
\family sans
\bar under
P
\bar default
references
\family default
dialog or with the
\family typewriter
PRINTER
\family default
environment variable.
You can also choose the desired printer from inside LyX, as described in
a later section.
Once you've done all that, you can print to either a PostScript printer
or file from LyX.
\layout Standard
If your printer doesn't understand PostScript<70>, you'll need to use
\family typewriter
ghostscript
\family default
as a filter for your print spooler.
That's covered in numerous HOWTO's and manuals.
We also have a section that covers a little bit of this.
\layout Standard
Some people don't seem to like using the
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
plus
\family typewriter
ghostscript
\family default
combination.
As alternative, you can use a program that converts the DVI file directly
into your printer language.
You can specify this program in the
\family sans
Preferences
\family default
dialog, too.
There is a major disadvantage to this method.
You can't include any PostScript files, such as graphics, in your documents,
since the printer-specific conversion programs don't understand PostScript<70>.
For that reason, the LyX team highly recommends using
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
and
\family typewriter
ghostscript
\family default
for printing.
\layout Subsection
Ghostscript, Xdvi and Ghostview
\layout Standard
\family typewriter
Xdvi
\family default
and
\family typewriter
ghostview
\family default
are viewers.
The former handles
\family typewriter
.dvi
\family default
files, while the later interfaces with
\family typewriter
ghostscript
\family default
to allow you to view PostScript files.
\layout Standard
A quick note on both of these programs.
Both automatically update themselves if the viewed file
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
That means the
\family typewriter
.dvi
\family default
or
\family typewriter
.ps
\family default
file, not the files used to make these.
\end_inset
changes.
You can also force an update.
So, once you've opened one of these two viewers, there's no reason to close
it.
Also, both programs are functionally the same, providing all of the same
features.
\layout Standard
The LyX team recommends using
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
for fine tuning documents.
Why? It's faster; there's one less layer of processing you need to do before
you can view the changes.
Here's an example:
\layout Enumerate
Use
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
to preview a document from LyX, and leave it running.
\layout Enumerate
Make changes to the document using LyX.
\layout Enumerate
To view those changes, just choose
\family sans
\bar under
V
\bar default
iew\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
U
\bar default
pdate\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
D
\bar default
VI
\family default
.
When LaTeX's all done, click on the
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
window, and voil<69>!
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
will update itself.
\layout Standard
Now, this doesn't mean
\family typewriter
ghostview
\family default
is useless.
\family typewriter
ghostview
\family default
is better suited to those occasions where you
\emph on
must
\emph default
view the PostScript version of the document.
For repeated changes that aren't PostScript<70> dependent, you're better off
previewing with
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
.
There is an alternative to
\family typewriter
ghostview
\family default
which sports a much better interface:
\family typewriter
gv
\family default
.
LyX will automatically use it instead of ghostscript if it is available.

Before you do anything else, before you ever start writing a document, you
need to decide what
\emph on
type

Additionally, different documents use different paragraph environments,
and format the title of your document differently.

document class
\emph default
describes a group of properties common to a particular set of documents.
By setting the document class, you automagically select these properties,

If you don't choose a document class, LyX picks one for you by default.
So, it behooves you to change the class of your document.
\layout Standard
Read on for info about the document classes you can choose from LyX, and
how to fine-tune some of their properties.

The Various Document Classes
\layout Subsubsection
Overview
\layout Standard
There are five standard document classes in LyX.
They are:
\layout Description
Article for basic articles
\layout Description
Report for basic reports
\layout Description
Book for writing a book
\layout Description
Letter for US-style letters
\layout Description
Slides is used to make transparencies
\layout Standard
There are also some non-standard classes, which LyX only uses if you have
a LaTeX setup that supports them:
\layout Description
Aapaper Journal articles in the style and format used in Astronomy & Astrophysic
s
\layout Description
Amsart Journal articles in the style and format used by the AMS [American
Mathematical Society].
There are three amsart layouts available.
The standard one uses a typical numbering scheme for theorems,
\emph on
etc.
\emph default
, that prepends the section number to the number of the result.
All result-type statements (propositions, corollaries, and so on) are sequenced
together, but definitions, examples, and the like have their own sequence.
The
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
sequential numbering
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
scheme does not place the section number with each result, but numbers
them throughout the article in a single sequence.
Each type of result gets its own sequence.
There is also a layout that dispenses with numbering of statements altogether.
\layout Description
Amsbook Books in the style and format used by the AMS.
Only the standard numbering scheme is provided, under the assumption that
you would not want to number results consecutively throughout a book, and
that you would need to number results.

\layout Description
Revtex is used to write articles for the publications of the American Physical
Society (APS), American Institute of Physics (AIP), and Optical Society
of America (OSA).
This class is not completely compatible with all LyX features.

You're probably also wondering what

There are several paragraph environment used to create section headings.
Different document classes allow different types of section headings.
Only two use the

Some document classes, such as the three for letters, don't use any section
headings.
In addition to

\family sans

\family default
headings, there are also
\family sans

Whether LyX uses the current chapter or the current section depends on
which is the maximum sectioning level.
\layout Labeling

\family sans
Fancy
\family default
This allows you to create fully customizable headers and footers if you
have the
\family sans

At the moment, support in LyX is limited to this setting.
To use the full power of this package, you have to resort to magic codes
in your preamble.
Check the documentation for the

Sides
\family default
No, LyX can't make your printer print on both sides of a sheet of paper!
However, it can use a different format for odd-numbered pages than even-numbere

This way, if you

do
\emph default
have a printer that duplexes
\begin_inset Foot

for the number of columns.
\begin_deeper

Note that LyX won't show two columns on screen.

\layout Subsection
Important Note:
\layout Standard
If you change a document's class, LyX has to convert
\emph on
everything
\emph default
into the new class.
That includes the paragraph environments.
Some paragraph environments are standard; all of the document classes have
them.
Some classes have special paragraph environments, however.
If this is the case, and you change document classes, LyX sets the missing
paragraph environments to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
and places an error box at the beginning of the paragraph.
Just click on them and you'll get a message dialog that tells you about
the conversion and why it failed.
\layout Section
Paragraph Indentation and Separation
\layout Subsection
Introduction
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:parindentintro}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Before describing all of the various paragraph environments, we'd like to
say a word or two about paragraph indentation.
\layout Standard
Everyone seems to have their own convention for separating paragraphs.
Most Americans indent the first line of a paragraph.
Others don't indent but put extra space between the paragraphs.
LyX uses the same convention you find among typographer.
The
\emph on
first
\emph default
paragraph of a section, or after a figure, an equation, a table, a list,
etc., is
\emph on
not
\emph default

Only a paragraph following another paragraph gets indented.
Some people don't like this convention, but if you want to use indented
paragraphs, you'll have to live with it.
\begin_inset Foot

\layout Standard
There is a way to force LaTeX to indent all paragraphs.
LyX won't show this, of course, but LaTeX
\emph on
will
\emph default
print it that way.
You'll need to get a special package and insert an appropriate command
in the preamble.

\end_inset
\layout Standard
The space between paragraphs, like the line spacing, the space between headings
and text --- in fact, all of the spacings for just about everything are
pre-coded into LyX.
As we said, you don't worry about how much space to add between what.
LyX takes care of that.
In fact, these pre-coded vertical spacings aren't a single number but a
range.
That way, LyX can squish or stretch the space between lines to make sure
figures fit on a page with text, so that sections don't start at the bottom
of a page, and so on.
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
Actually, LaTeX does this when LyX goes to produce a printable file.
\end_inset
However, pre-coded doesn't mean you can't change them.
LyX gives you the ability to globally change
\emph on
all
\emph default
of these pre-coded spacings.
We'll explain more later.
\layout Subsection
Global Indentation Method
\layout Standard
To select the default method of separating paragraphs, select
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
ndent
\family default
or
\family sans
S
\bar under
k
\bar default
ip
\family default
to indent paragraphs or add extra space between paragraphs, respectively.
\layout Subsection
Fine-Tuning
\layout Standard
You can also change the separation method of a single paragraph.
Open the
\family sans
\bar under

\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator

P
\bar default
aragraph\SpecialChar ~
Settings
\family default
dialog and toggle the
\family sans
\bar under
N
\bar default
o Indent
\family default
button to change the state of the current paragraph.
If paragraphs indent by default, this button will be inactive at first.
If paragraphs have no indentation but use extra space for separation, this
button will be completely ignored (you can't indent a single paragraph
by toggling this).
\layout Standard
You should only need to change the indentation method for a single paragraph
if you need to do some fine-tuning.
Typically, you'll select
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
ndent
\family default
or
\family sans
S
\bar under

Paragraph Environments
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:par-environments}

Overview
\layout Standard
The paragraph environments correspond to the various

\emph default
} ...
\backslash
end{
\family default

command sequences in an ordinary LaTeX file.
If you don't know LaTeX, or the concept of a paragraph environment is totally
alien to you, we urge you to read the
\emph on
Tutorial
\emph default
.
The
\emph on
Tutorial
\emph default
also contains many more examples than this section does.
\layout Standard
A paragraph environment is simply a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
container
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
for a paragraph which gives that paragraph certain properties.
This can include a particular style of font, different margins, a numbering
scheme, labels, and so on.
Additionally, you can
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
nest
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
the different environments inside one another, allowing one environment
to inherit some of the properties of another.
The different paragraph environments totally replace the need for messy
tab stops, on the fly margin adjustment, and other hold-overs from the
days of typewriters.
There are several paragraph environments which are specific to a particular
document type.
We'll only be covering the most common ones here.
\layout Standard
To choose a new paragraph environment, use the pull-down box on the left
end of the toolbar.
LyX will change the environment of the
\emph on
entire
\emph default
paragraph in which the cursor sits.
You can also change the environment of an entire group of paragraphs if
you select them before choosing the new environment.
\layout Standard
Note that hitting
\family sans
Return
\family default
will
\emph on
typically
\emph default
create a new paragraph using the
\family sans
Standard
\family default
paragraph environment.
We say
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
typically
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
because this isn't always the case.

LyX keeps the old paragraph environment when you hit
\family sans
Return
\family default
, rather than resetting it to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
.
LyX will still reset the nesting depth, however.
\end_inset
Usually, starting a new paragraph resets both the paragraph environment
and the nesting depth [more on nesting in section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:nest}
\end_inset
].
At the moment, all this is context-specific; you're better off expecting
\family sans
Return
\family default
to reset the paragraph environment and depth.
If you want a new paragraph to keep the current environment and depth,
use
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
instead.
\layout Subsection
Standard
\layout Standard
The default paragraph environment is
\family sans
Standard
\family default
for most classes.
It creates a plain paragraph.
If LyX resets the paragraph environment, this is the one it chooses.
In fact, the paragraph you're reading right now [and most of the ones in
this manual] are in the
\family sans
Standard
\family default
environment.
\layout Standard
You can nest a paragraph using the
\family sans
Standard
\family default
environment in just about anything else, but you can't really nest anything
in a
\family sans
Standard
\family default
environment.
\layout Subsection
Document Titles
\layout Standard
A LaTeX title page has three parts: the title itself, the name[s] of the
author[s] and a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
footnote
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
for thanks or contact information.
For certain types of documents, LaTeX places all of this on a separate
page along with today's date.
For other types of documents, the title
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
page
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
goes at the top of the first page of the document.
\layout Standard
LyX provides an interface to the title page commands through the paragraph
environments
\family sans
Title
\family default
,
\family sans
Author
\family default
, and
\family sans
Date
\family default
.
Here's how you use them:
\layout Itemize
Put the title of your document in the
\family sans
Title
\family default
environment.
\layout Itemize
Put the author name in the
\family sans
Author
\family default
environment.
\layout Itemize
If you want the date to have a certain appearance, want to use a fixed date,
or want other text to appear in place of today's date, put that text in
the
\family sans
Date
\family default
environment.
Note that using this environment is optional.
If you don't provide any, LaTeX will automatically insert today's date.
\layout Standard
Be sure to do this at the top of the document.
You can use footnotes to insert
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
thanks
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or contact information.
\layout Subsection
Headings
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:parenvheadings}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
There are nine paragraph environments for producing section headings.
LyX takes care of the numbering for you.
All you need to do is decide what you're going to call section 3 of chapter
9.
\layout Subsubsection
Numbered Headings
\layout Standard
There are 6 numbered types of section headings.
\begin_inset Note
collapsed false
\layout Standard
Why no mention of Part ?
\end_inset
They are:
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Chapter
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Section
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Subsection
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Subsubsection
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Paragraph
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Subparagraph
\layout Standard
LyX labels each heading with a series of numbers, separated by periods.
The numbers describe where in the document you are.
These headings all subdivide your document into different pieces of text.
For example, suppose you're writing a book.
You group the book into chapters.
LyX does similar grouping:
\layout Itemize
Either
\family sans
Chapter
\family default
or
\family sans
Section
\family default
is the maximum sectioning level.
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Chapter
\family default
s are divided into
\family sans
Section
\family default
s
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Section
\family default
s are divided into
\family sans
Subsection
\family default
s
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Subsection
\family default
s are divided into
\family sans
Subsubsection
\family default

\layout Itemize
\family sans
Subsubsection
\family default
s are divided into
\family sans
Paragraph
\family default
s
\layout Itemize
\family sans
Paragraph
\family default
s are divided into
\family sans
Subparagraph
\family default
s
\layout Standard
\emph on
Note:
\emph default
not all document types use the
\family sans
Chapter
\family default
heading as the maximum sectioning level.
In that case, the
\family sans
Section
\family default
is the top-level heading.
\layout Standard
So, if you use the
\family sans
Subsubsection
\family default
environment to label a new sub-subsection, LyX labels it with its number,
along with the number of the subsection, section, and, if applicable, chapter
that it's in.
For example: the fifth section of the second chapter of this book has the
label
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
2.5
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\layout Subsubsection
Unnumbered Headings
\layout Standard
There are 3 types of unnumbered section headings.
They are:
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Section*
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Subsection*
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Subsubsection*
\layout Standard
The
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
*
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
after each name means that these headings are not numbered.
They work the same as their numbered counterparts.
\layout Subsubsection
Changing the Numbering
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sub:section-depth}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
You can also alter which sectioning levels get numbered and which ones appear
in the Table of Contents.
Now, this doesn't remove any of the levels; that's preset in the document
class.
Certain classes start with
\family sans
Chapter
\family default
and go down to the
\family sans
Subparagraph
\family default
level.
Others start at
\family sans
Section
\family default
.
Similarly, not all document classes number all sectioning levels.
Most don't number
\family sans
Paragraph
\family default
or
\family sans
Subparagraph
\family default
.
This is something you can change.
\layout Standard
Open the
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
S
\bar default
ettings
\family default
dialog.
You should see a counter labelled
\family sans
Section\SpecialChar ~
number\SpecialChar ~
depth
\family default
under the
\family sans
Extra
\family default
tab.
This counter controls how far down in the sectioning hierarchy LyX numbers
a section heading.
Unfortunately, the number you choose with the slider is really goofy, so
here's a table of values and what they do:

LyX has three paragraph environments for writing poetry and quotations.
They are
\family sans
Quote
\family default
,
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
, and
\family sans
Verse
\family default
.
Forget the days of changing linespacing and twiddling with margins.
These three paragraph environments already have those changes built-in.
They all widen the left margin and add a bit of extra space above and below
the text they contain.
They also allow nesting, so you can put a
\family sans
Verse
\family default
in a
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
, as well as in some other paragraph environments.
\layout Standard
There is another feature of these three paragraph environments: they do
\emph on
not
\emph default
reset to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
when you start a new paragraph.
So, you can type in that poem and merrily hit
\family sans
Return
\family default
without worrying about the paragraph environment changing on you.
Of course, that means that, once you're done typing in that poem, you have
to change back to the
\family sans

\family default
environment yourself.

Now that we've described the similarities of these three environments, it's
time for the differences.
\family sans
Quote
\family default
and
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
are identical except for one difference:
\family sans
Quote
\family default
uses extra spacing to separate paragraphs and never indents the first line.
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
\emph on
always
\emph default
indents the first line of a paragraph and uses the same line spacing throughout.
\layout Standard
Here's an example of the
\family sans
Quote
\family default
environment:
\layout Quote
This is in the
\family sans
Quote
\family default
environment.
I can keep writing, extending this line out further and further until it
wraps.
See - no indentation!
\layout Quote
Here's the second paragraph of this quote.
Again, there's no indentation, but there is extra space between me and
the other paragraph.
\layout Standard
That ends that example.
Here's another example, this time in the
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
environment:
\layout Quotation
This is in the
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
environment.
If I keep writing, you'll see the indentation.
If your country uses a writing style that shows off new paragraphs by indenting
the first line, then
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
is the environment for you! Well, you'd use it

you were quoting other text.
\layout Quotation
Here's a new paragraph.
I could ramble on and on, like a politician at election time.
If I did that, though, you'd get bored.
\layout Standard
That was our other example.
As the example notes,
\family sans
Quote
\family default
is for those people who use extra space to separate paragraphs.
They should put quotes in the
\family sans
Quote
\family default
environment.
Those who use indentation to mark a new paragraph should use the
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
paragraph environment for quoted text.
\layout Subsubsection
\family sans
Verse
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:verse}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
\family sans
Verse
\family default
is a paragraph environment for poetry, rhymes, verses, and so on.
Here's an example:
\layout Verse
This is in Verse
\newline
Which I did not rehearse!
\layout Verse
It could be much worse.
This line could be long, very long, oh so long, so very long that it wraps
around.
It looks okay on screen, but in the printed version, the extra lines are
indented a bit more than the first.
Okay, so it's turned to prose and doesn't rhyme anymore.
So sue me.
\layout Verse
To break a line
\newline
And make things look fine
\newline
Use
\family sans
C-Return
\family default
.
\layout Standard
As you can see,
\family sans
Verse
\family default
does not indent both margins.
Each stanza of the verse or poem is in its own paragraph.
To separate the individual lines of a stanza, use the
\family typewriter
break-line
\family default
function,
\family sans
C-Return
\family default
.
\layout Subsection
Lists
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:parenvlists}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
LyX has four different paragraph environments for creating different kinds
of lists.
In the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
and
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environments, LyX labels your list items with bullets or numbers, respectively.
In the
\family sans
Description
\family default
and
\family sans
List
\family default
environments, LyX lets you provide your own label.
We'll present the individual details of each type of list next after describing
some general features of all four of them.
\layout Subsubsection
General Features
\layout Standard
The four paragraph environments for lists differ from the other environments
in several ways.
First, LyX treats each paragraph as a list item.
Hitting
\family sans
Return
\family default
does
\emph on
not
\emph default
reset the environment to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
but keeps the current environment and creates a new list item.
The nesting depth is typically reset, however.
If you want to keep both the current nesting depth and paragraph environment,
you should use
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
to break paragraphs.
\layout Standard
You can nest lists of any type inside one another.
In fact, LyX changes the labels on some list items depending on how its
nested.
If you intend to use any of the list paragraph environments, we suggest
you read all of section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:nest}
\end_inset
.
\layout Subsubsection
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:itemize}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The first type of list we'll describe in detail is the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
paragraph environment.
It has the following properties:
\layout Itemize
Each item has a particular bullet or symbol as its label.
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
LyX uses the same symbol for all of the items in a given nesting level.
\layout Itemize
The symbol appears at the beginning of the first line.
\end_deeper
\layout Itemize
The items can be any length.
LyX automatically offsets the left margin of each item.
The offset is always relative to whatever environment the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
list may be in.
\layout Itemize
If you nest an
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment inside another
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment, the label changes to a new symbol.
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
There are four different symbols for up to a four-fold nesting.
\layout Itemize
LyX always shows the same symbol, an asterisk, on screen.
\layout Itemize
See section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:nest}
\end_inset
for a full explanation of nesting.
\end_deeper
\layout Standard
Of course, that explanation was also an example of an
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
list.
The
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment is best suited for lists where the order doesn't matter.
\layout Standard
We said that different levels use different symbols as their label.
Here's an example of all four possible symbols.
Note that those of you reading this manual online won't see any difference.
\layout Itemize
The label for the first level
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
is a large black dot, or bullet.
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
The label for the second level is a dash.
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
The label for the third is an asterisk.
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
The label for the fourth is a centered dot.
\end_deeper
\layout Itemize
Back out to the third level.
\end_deeper
\layout Itemize
Back to the second level.
\end_deeper
\layout Itemize
Back to the outermost level.
\layout Standard
These are the default labels for an
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
list.
You can customize these labels in the
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
linebreak
\end_inset

\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under

ettings
\family default
dialog in the
\family sans
Bullets
\family default

\layout Standard
Notice how the space between items decreases with increasing depth.
We'll explain nesting and all the tricks you can do with different depths
in section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:nest}
\end_inset
.
Be sure to read it!
\layout Subsubsection
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:enumerate}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment is the tool to use to create numbered lists and outlines.
It has these properties:
\layout Enumerate
Each item has a numeral as its label.
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
The type of numeral depends on the nesting depth.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
LyX automatically counts the items for you and updates the label as appropriate.
\layout Enumerate
Each new
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment resets the counter to one.
\layout Enumerate
Like the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment, the
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment:
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Offsets the items relative to the left margin.
Items can be any length.
\layout Enumerate
Reduces the space between items as the nesting depth increases.
\layout Enumerate
Uses different types of labels depending on the nesting depth.
\layout Enumerate
Allows up to a four-fold nesting.
\end_deeper
\layout Standard
Unlike the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment,
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
\emph on
does
\emph default
show the different labels for each item.
Here is how LyX labels the four different levels in an
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
:
\layout Enumerate
The first level of an
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
uses Arabic numerals followed by a period.
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
The second level uses lower case letters surrounded by parentheses.
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
The third level uses lower-case Roman numerals followed by a period.
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
The fourth level uses capital letters followed by a period.
\layout Enumerate
Again, notice the decrease in the spacing between items as the nesting depth
increases.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Back to the third level
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Back to the second level.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Back to the outermost level.
\layout Standard
Once again, you can customize the type of numbering used in the
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment.
It involves adding commands to the LaTeX preamble (see the
\emph on
Extended Features
\emph default
manual), however.
As stated earlier, such customization only shows up in the printed version,
not on the LyX screen.
\layout Standard
There is more to nesting
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environments than we've stated here.
You
\emph on
really
\emph default
should read section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:nest}
\end_inset
to learn more about nesting.
\layout Subsubsection
\family sans
Description
\family default
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:descrlist}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Unlike the previous two environments, the
\family sans
Description
\family default
list has no fixed label.
Instead, LyX uses the first
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
word
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
of the first line as the label.
Here's an example:
\layout Description
Example: This is an example of the
\family sans
Description
\family default
environment.
\layout Standard
LyX typesets the label in boldface and puts extra space between it and the
rest of the line.
\layout Standard
Now, you're probably wondering what we mean by,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
uses the first 'word'.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
The
\family sans
Space
\family default
key does not add a whitespace character, but separates words from one another.
Inside of a
\family sans
Description
\family default
environment, the
\family sans
Space
\family default
key tells LyX to end the label if we're at the beginning of the first line
of an item.
\layout Standard
However, what if you want or need to use more than one word in the label
of a
\family sans
Description
\family default
environment? Simple: use a
\family sans
Protected Blank
\family default
.
[Use either
\family sans

Example: This one shows how to use a
\family sans
Protected\SpecialChar ~
Blank
\family default
in the label of a
\family sans
Description
\family default
list item.
\layout Description
Usage: You should use the
\family sans
Description
\family default
environment for things like definitions and theorems.
Use it when you need to make one word in particular stand out in the text
that describes it.
It's not a good idea to use a
\family sans
Description
\family default
environment when you have an entire sentence that you want to describe.
You're better off using
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
or
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
and nesting several
\family sans
Standard
\family default
paragraphs into them.
\layout Description
Nesting: You can, of course, nest
\family sans
Description
\family default
environments inside one another, nest them in other types of lists, and
so on.
\layout Standard
Notice that after the first line, LyX indents subsequent lines, offsetting
them from the first line.
\layout Subsubsection
The LyX
\family sans
List
\family default
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:lyxlist}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
List
\family default
environment is a LyX extension to LaTeX.
\layout Standard
Now, if you jumped here without reading sections
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:itemize}
\end_inset
-
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:descrlist}
\end_inset
, you've goofed.
The
\family sans
List
\family default
environment does
\emph on
not
\emph default
create numbered lists.
That's what
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
does, and it's documented in section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:enumerate}
\end_inset
.
\layout Standard
Like the
\family sans
Description
\family default
environment the
\family sans
List
\family default
environment has user-defined labels for each list item.
There are some key differences between this list environment and the other
three:
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMM
item\SpecialChar ~
labels LyX uses the first
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
word
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
of each line as the item label.
The first
\family sans
Space
\family default
after the beginning of the first line of an item marks the end of the label.
If you need to use more than one word in an item label, use a protected
blank as described above.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMM
margins As you can see, LyX uses different margins for the item label and
the body of the item text.
The body of the text has a larger left margin, which is equal to the default
label width plus a little extra space.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMM
label\SpecialChar ~
width LyX uses one of two things for the label width: the actual width
of the label, or the default width, whichever is larger.
If the actual width is larger, then the label
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
extends
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
into the first line.
In other words, the text of the first line isn't aligned with the left
margin of the rest of the item text.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMM
default\SpecialChar ~
width You can very easily set this default width.
It's quite painless, actually.
So, you can easily ensure that the text of all items in a
\family sans
List
\family default
environment have the same left margin.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMM
uses You should use the
\family sans
List
\family default
environment the same way you'd use as
\family sans
Description
\family default
list: when you need one word to stand out from the text that describes
it.
The
\family sans
List
\family default
environment gives you another way to do this, using a different overall
layout.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMM
nesting You can nest
\family sans
List
\family default
environments inside one another, nest them in other types of lists, and
so on.
They work just like the other list paragraph environments.
Read section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:nest}
\end_inset
to learn about nesting.
\layout Standard
As you can see, this is a feature-packed paragraph environment!
\layout Standard
To change the default width of the label, select the items in the list to
change.
You can also simply move the cursor into a
\family sans
List
\family default
item if you want to change only its label width.
Now open the
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
P
\bar default
aragraph\SpecialChar ~
Settings
\family default
dialog and find the
\family sans
Label\SpecialChar ~
width
\family default
text box.
The text in the
\family sans
Label\SpecialChar ~
width
\family default
box determines the default label width.
If you really, really want to, you can use the text of your largest label
here, but you don't need to.
We recommend using the letter
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
M
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
multiple times.
It's the widest character and is a standard unit of width in LaTeX.
The default label width in the example
\family sans
List
\family default
is 6
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
M
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
s wide.
Using
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
M
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
as your unit of width in the
\family sans
Label\SpecialChar ~
Width
\family default
box has one more advantage: you don't need to keep changing the contents
of
\family sans
Label\SpecialChar ~
Width
\family default
every time you alter a label in a
\family sans
List
\family default
environment.
\layout Standard
There's yet another feature of the
\family sans
List
\family default
environment we need to tell you about.
As you can see in the examples, LyX left-justifies the item labels by default.
You can use additional
\family sans
HFills
\family default
to change how LyX justifies the item label.
We'll document
\family sans
HFills
\family default
later in section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:hspace}
\end_inset
.
Here are some examples:
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMM
Left The default for
\family sans
List
\family default
item labels.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMM
\hfill
Right One
\family sans
HFill
\family default
at the beginning of the label right justifies it.
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMM
\hfill
Center
\hfill
One
\family sans
HFill
\family default
at the beginning of the label and one at the end centers it.
\layout Standard
Don't worry if you have no idea what
\family sans
HFill
\family default
s are yet.
Just remember that you can use them to customize the look of the
\family sans
List
\family default
environment.
\layout Standard
That does it for the four paragraph environments for making lists.
Oh - did we mention that you should read about nesting environments in
section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:nest}
\end_inset
if you want to use any of these list environments?
\layout Subsection
Letters
\layout Subsubsection
\family sans
Address
\family default
and
\family sans
Right\SpecialChar ~
Address
\family default
: An Overview
\layout Standard
Although LyX has document classes for letters, we've also created two paragraph
environments called
\family sans
Address
\family default
and
\family sans
Right\SpecialChar ~
Address
\family default
.
To use the letter class, you need to use specific paragraph environments
in a specific order, otherwise LaTeX gags on the document.
In contrast, you can use the
\family sans
Address
\family default
and
\family sans
Right\SpecialChar ~
Address
\family default
paragraph environments anywhere with no problem.
You can even nest them inside other environments, though you can't nest
anything in them.
\layout Standard
Of course, you're not limited to using
\family sans
Address
\family default
and
\family sans
Right\SpecialChar ~
Address
\family default
for letters only.
\family sans
Right\SpecialChar ~
Address
\family default
, in particular, is useful for creating article titles like those used in
some European academic papers.
\layout Subsubsection
Usage
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:adress_usage}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
Address
\family default
environment formats text in the style of an address, which is also used
for the opening and signature in some countries.
Similarly, the
\family sans
Right\SpecialChar ~
Address
\family default
environment formats text in the style of a right-justified address, which
is used for the sender's address and today's date in some countries.
Here's an example of each:
\layout Right Address
Right Address
\newline
WhoAmI
\newline
WhereAmI
\newline
When is it? What is today?
\layout Standard
That was
\family sans
Right\SpecialChar ~
Address
\family default
.
Notice that the lines all have the same left margin, which LyX sets to
fit the largest block of text on a single line.
Here's an example of the
\family sans
Address
\family default
environment:
\layout Address
WhoAreYou
\newline
Where do I send this
\newline
Your post office and country
\layout Standard
As you can see, both
\family sans
Address
\family default
and
\family sans
Right\SpecialChar ~
Address
\family default
add extra space between themselves and the next paragraph.
Speaking of which, if you hit
\family sans
Return
\family default
in either of these environments, LyX resets the nesting depth and sets
the environment to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
.
This makes sense, however, since
\family sans
Return
\family default
is the
\family typewriter
break-paragraph
\family default
function, and the individual lines of an address are not paragraphs.
Thus, you'd use
\family typewriter
break-line
\family default
[
\family sans
C-Return
\family default
or
\family sans

\family default
environment.
\layout Subsection
Academic Writing
\layout Standard
Most academic writing begins with an abstract and ends with a bibliography
or list of references.
LyX contains paragraph environments for both of these.
\layout Subsubsection
\family sans
Abstract
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
environment is used for the abstract of an article.
Technically, you
\emph on
could
\emph default
use this environment anywhere, but you really
\emph on
should
\emph default
only use it at the beginning of the document, after the title.
Also, don't bother trying to nest
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
in anything else or vice versa.
It won't work.
The
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
environment is only useful in the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
article
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
report
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
document classes [as well as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
amsart,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
which is just a specialized version of
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
article
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
].
The
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
book
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
document class ignores the
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
completely, and it's utterly silly to use
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
in the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
letter
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
document class.
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
environment does several things for you.
First, it puts the centered label
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Abstract
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
above the text.
The label and the text of the abstract are separated by some extra vertical
space.
Second, it typesets everything in a smaller font, just as you'd expect.
Lastly, it adds a bit of extra vertical space between the abstract and
the subsequent text.
Well, that's how it will appear on the LyX screen.
If your document is in the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
report
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
class, the abstract actually appears on a separate page in the printed
version of the file.
\layout Standard
Starting a new paragraph by hitting
\family sans
Return
\family default
does
\emph on
not
\emph default
reset the paragraph environment.
The new paragraph will still be in the
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
environment.
So, you will have to change the paragraph environment yourself when you
finish entering the abstract of your document.
\layout Standard
We'd love to give you an example of the
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
environment, but we can't, since this document is in the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
book
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
class.
If you've never heard of an
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
abstract
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
before, you can safely ignore this environment.
\layout Subsubsection
\family sans
Bibliography
\family default
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:bibliography}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
Bibliography
\family default
environment is used to list references.
Technically, you
\emph on
could
\emph default
use this environment anywhere, but you really
\emph on
should
\emph default
only use it at the end of the document.
Also, don't bother trying to nest
\family sans
Bibliography
\family default
in anything else or vice versa.
It won't work.
\layout Standard
When you first open a
\family sans
Bibliography
\family default
environment, LyX add a large vertical space, followed by the heading
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Bibliography
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
References,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
depending on the document class.
The heading is in a large boldface font.
Each paragraph of the
\family sans
Bibliography
\family default
environment is a bibliography entry.
Thus, hitting
\family sans
Return
\family default
does
\emph on
not
\emph default
reset the paragraph environment.
Each new paragraph is still in the
\family sans
Bibliography
\family default
environment.
\layout Standard
At the
\emph on
beginning
\emph default
of the
\emph on
first line
\emph default
of each paragraph, you will see a gray button showing a number.
If you click on it, you will get a dialog in which you can set a
\family sans
key
\family default
and a
\family sans
label
\family default
.
The key is the symbolic name by which you will refer to this bibliography
entry.
For example, suppose your first entry in the bibliography was a book about
LaTeX.
We could choose the key
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
latexguide
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
for that entry.
You can also give a label, which will be displayed in the gray inset box.
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
key
\family default
field isn't useless.
You can refer to your bibliography entries using the
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
C
\bar default
itation\SpecialChar ~
Reference
\family default
command.
Just choose the key inside in the available keys list, then add a reference
by clicking on the left arrow, which will add it to the selected keys list.
Multiple references can be placed by selecting more than one key.

\layout Subsection
Special Purpose
\layout Standard
There are three standard paragraph environments that simply don't fit any
category, as they are very specialized for a particular purpose.
We'll point out the highlights and uses of each.
\layout Subsubsection
\family sans
Caption
\family default
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:captionlayout}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
Caption
\family default
environment is the default paragraph environment for
\family sans
Figure\SpecialChar ~
Floats
\family default
and
\family sans
Table\SpecialChar ~
Floats
\family default
.
On the LyX screen, you'll see either the label
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Figure #:
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Table #:
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, depending on which type of
\family sans
Float
\family default
it's in.
The actual reference number is substituted in this label in the printed
output.
\layout Standard
You can't really nest things into a
\family sans
Caption
\family default
environment or vice versa.
Additionally, hitting
\family sans
Return
\family default
resets the paragraph environment to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
, so a
\family sans
Caption
\family default
can only be a single paragraph.
\layout Standard
You cannot use a
\family sans
Caption
\family default
environment outside of a
\family sans
Figure\SpecialChar ~
Float
\family default
or a
\family sans
Table\SpecialChar ~
Float
\family default
.
See sections
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:figures}
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:tables}
\end_inset
for more information on
\family sans
Figure\SpecialChar ~
Floats
\family default
and
\family sans
Table\SpecialChar ~
Floats
\family default
.
\layout Subsubsection
LyX
\family sans
-Code
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
LyX-Code
\family default
environment is another LyX extension.
It type-sets text in a typewriter-style font.
It also treats the
\family sans
Space
\family default
key as a fixed whitespace;
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
In the
\family sans
LyX-Code
\family default
environment, the
\family sans
Space
\family default
key is treated as a
\family sans
Protected\SpecialChar ~
Blank
\family default
instead of an end-of-word marker.
\end_inset
this is the only case in which you can type multiple whitespaces in LyX.
If you need to insert blank lines, you'll still need to use
\family sans
C-Return
\family default
[the
\family typewriter
break-line
\family default
function].
\family sans
Return
\family default
breaks paragraphs.
Note, however, that
\family sans
Return
\family default
does
\emph on
not
\emph default
reset the paragraph environment.
So, when you finish using the
\family sans
LyX-Code
\family default
environment, you'll need to change the paragraph environment yourself.
Also, you
\emph on
can
\emph default
nest the
\family sans
LyX-Code
\family default
environment inside of others.
\layout Standard
There are a few quirks with this environment:
\layout Itemize
You cannot use
\family sans
C-Return
\family default
at the beginning of a new paragraph [i.e.
you can't follow
\family sans
Return
\family default
with a
\family sans
C-Return
\family default
].
\layout Itemize
You can't follow a
\family sans
C-Return
\family default
with a
\family sans
Space
\family default
.
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
Use a
\family sans
Return
\family default
to begin a new paragraph, then you can use a
\family sans
Space
\family default
.
\layout Itemize
Or: use
\family sans
C-Space
\family default
instead.
\end_deeper
\layout Itemize
You can't have an empty paragraph or an empty line.
You must put at least one
\family sans
Space
\family default
in any line you want blank.
Otherwise, LaTeX generates errors.
\layout Itemize
You cannot get the typewriter double quotes by typing
\family sans
"
\family default
since that will insert
\emph on
real
\emph default
quotes.
You get the typewriter double quotes with
\family sans
C-"
\family default
(or
\family sans
C-q
\family default
if you use Emacs-like key bindings).
\layout Standard
Here's an example:
\layout LyX-Code
#include <stdio.h>
\layout LyX-Code
\layout LyX-Code
int main(void)
\layout LyX-Code
{
\layout LyX-Code
printf("Hello World
\backslash
n");
\layout LyX-Code
return 0;
\layout LyX-Code
}
\layout Standard
This is just the standard
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Hello world!
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
program.
\layout Standard
\family sans
LyX-Code
\family default
has one purpose: to typeset code, such as program source, shell scripts,
rc-files, and so on.
Use it only in those very, very special cases where you need to generate
text as if you used a typewriter.
\layout Subsubsection
Comment
\layout Standard
The comment paragraph environment can be used to write comments about your
document that will not appear in the final output.
In order to make this clear, LyX will present the comment environment in
a different color than the rest of the text.
\layout Section
Nesting Environments
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:nest}
\end_inset
\layout Subsection
The Big Deal
\layout Standard
Throughout the previous sections, we've been nagging you to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
go read Section\SpecialChar ~
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:nest}
\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
So, you're probably wondering what the big deal is.
\layout Standard
The big deal is that LyX differs rather strongly from the traditional
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
word\SpecialChar \-
processor-as-overglorified-typewriter
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
concept.
With a typewriter, text is merely ink on a page.
Most word processors aren't much better, treating text as pixels on the
screen and bytes in memory.
In contrast, LyX treats text as a unified block with a particular context
and specific properties.
However, what if you wanted one
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
block
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
to inherit some of the properties of another
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
block
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
?
\layout Standard
Here's a more specific example: outlines.
You have three main points in your outline, but point #2 also has two subpoints.
In other words, you have a list
\emph on
inside
\emph default
of another list, with the inner list
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
attached
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
to item #2:
\layout Enumerate
one
\layout Enumerate
two
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
sublist - item #1
\layout Enumerate
sublist - item #2
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
three
\layout Standard
How do you put a list inside of a list? By now, the answer should be obvious:
you nest one list inside the other.
\layout Standard
How to nest an environment is quite simple.
Select
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
ncrease\SpecialChar ~
Environment\SpecialChar ~
Depth
\family default
or
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ecrease\SpecialChar ~
Environment\SpecialChar ~
Depth
\family default
from the
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit
\family default
menu to change the nesting depth of the current paragraph (the status bar
will tell you how far you are nested).
\layout Standard
You can also use the convenient key bindings
\family sans
S-M-Left
\family default
and
\family sans
S-M-Right
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Left
\family default
and
\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Right
\family default
are alternatives, if you prefer those bindings
\end_inset
\family default
to change the nesting level.
The change will work on the current selection if you have made one (allowing
you to change the nesting of several paragraphs at once), or the current
paragraph.
\layout Standard
Note that LyX only changes the nesting depth if it can.
If it's invalid to do so, nothing happens if you try to change the depth.
Additionally, if you change the depth of one paragraph, it affects the
depth of every paragraph nested inside of it.
It's hard to describe what exactly LyX does in this case.
That depends specifically on what your text looks like.
Your best bet is to simply play with changing the nesting depth and see
what happens.
\layout Standard
Nesting isn't just limited to lists.
In LyX, you can nest just about anything inside anything else, as you're
about to find out.
This is the real power of nesting paragraph environments.
\layout Subsection
What You Can and Can't Nest
\layout Standard
Before we fire a list of paragraph environments at you, we need to tell
you a little bit more about how nesting works.
\layout Standard
The question of nesting is a bit more complicated than a simple yes or no,
can you or can't you.
There's also the question of how.
Can you nest this environment into anything else? Can you nest another
environment into it? A
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
yes
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
to one of these doesn't guarantee a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
yes
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
to the other.
\layout Standard
The paragraph environments in LyX can do one of three things when it comes
to nesting.
First, an environment may be completely unnestable.
Second, there are environments that are fully nestable.
You can nest them inside of things and you can also nest other things inside
of them.
There is one last type of environment.
You can nest them into other environments, but that's it.
You can't nest anything into them.
\layout Standard
Here's a list of the three types of nesting behavior, and which paragraph
environments have them:
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
For some odd reason, LyX allows you to fully nest both
\family sans
Bibliography
\family default
and
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
.
Also, LyX allows you to nest
\family sans
Title
\family default
,
\family sans
Author
\family default
, and
\family sans
Date
\family default
into other environments.
We urge you not to.
LaTeX may barf if you try it.
Then again, it may not.
We don't know for certain.
However, it makes no sense contextually to perform any nesting with these
environments, so why would you ever want to?

Nesting Other Things: Tables, Math, Floats, etc.
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:table-and-fig-nesting}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
There are several things that aren't paragraph environments, but which are
affected by nesting anyhow.
They are:
\layout Itemize
equations
\layout Itemize
tables
\layout Itemize
figures
\layout Standard
[Note: if you put a figure or a table in a
\family sans
Float
\family default
, this is no longer true.
See below or look in sections
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:figures}
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:tables}
\end_inset
for more info.]
\layout Standard
LyX can treat these three objects as either a word or as a paragraph.
Well, you can't inline a table, but you can inline math and figures.
If a figure or an equation is inlined, it goes wherever the paragraph it's
in goes.
\layout Standard
On the other hand, if you have an equation, figure or table in a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
paragraph
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
of its own, it behaves just like a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
nestable-inside
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
paragraph environment.
You can nest it into any environment, but you [obviously] can't nest anything
into it.
\layout Standard
Here's an example with a table:
\layout Enumerate
Item One
\begin_deeper

Notice how item (b) is not only no longer nested, but is also the first

There's another trap you can fall into: nesting the table, but not going
deep enough.
LyX turns anything after the table into a new [sub]list.

This is (b).
The table is actually nested inside Item One, but

\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Back out again.
\layout Standard
As you can see, item (b) turned into the first item of a new list, but a
new list
\emph on
inside
\emph default
item 1.
The same thing would have happened to a figure or an equation.
So, if you nest tables, figures or equations, make sure you go to the right
depth!
\layout Standard
Then there are the so-called
\family sans
Floats
\family default
.
A
\family sans
Float
\family default
is a block of text associated with some sort of label, but which doesn't
have a fixed location.
It can
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
float
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
forward or backward a page or two, to wherever it fits best.
\family sans
Footnotes
\family default
and
\family sans
Margin\SpecialChar ~
Notes
\family default
are floats, as are
\family sans
Table\SpecialChar ~
Floats
\family default
and
\family sans
Figure\SpecialChar ~
Floats
\family default
.
When you're editing a document in LyX, a closed
\family sans
Float
\family default
looks like a gray button with a red label and goes wherever the paragraph
it's in goes.
However, because a
\family sans
Float
\family default
has no fixed location in the final text, nesting has no effect on its actual
location after you feed your document to LaTeX.
\layout Subsection
Usage and General Features
\layout Standard
Speaking of levels, LyX can perform up to a six-fold nesting.
In other words,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
level #6
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is the innermost possible depth.
Here's an example to display what we mean:
\layout Enumerate
level #1 - outermost
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
level #2
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
level #3
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
level #4
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
level #5
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
level #6
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\layout Standard
Once again, LyX has a maximum of 6 levels, regardless of which specific
paragraph environments you're using at a given level.
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
Unfortunately, LyX doesn't enforce this limitation.
If you try to exceed it, however, LaTeX will return errors when you go
to produce output for your document.
\end_inset
That means that you can perform a six-fold nesting of a
\family sans
Description
\family default
list, or a
\family sans
Verse
\family default
environment, and so on.
You can also mix environments, as we shall see later.
\layout Standard
There are two exceptions to the six-fold nesting limit, and you can see
both of them in the example.
Unlike the other fully-nestable environments, you can only perform a four-fold
nesting with the
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
and
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environments.
For example, if we tried to nest another
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
list inside of item
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
A.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, we'd get errors.
\begin_inset Foot

\layout Standard
Once again, LyX doesn't enforce this limitation.
If you try to exceed it, however, LaTeX will return errors when you go
to produce output for your document.
\end_inset
\layout Subsection
Some Examples
\layout Standard
The best way to explain just what you can do with nesting is by illustration.
We have several examples of nested environments.
In them, we explain how we created the example, so that you can reproduce
them.
\layout Subsubsection
Example #1: The Six-fold Way and Mixed Nesting
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#1-a This is the outermost level.
It's a
\family sans
List
\family default
environment.
\begin_deeper
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#2-a This is level #2.
We created it by using
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
followed by
\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Right
\family default
.
\begin_deeper
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#3-a This is level #3.
This time, we just hit
\family sans
Return
\family default
, then used
\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Right
\family default
twice in a row.
We could have also created it the same way as we did the previous level,
by hitting
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
followed by
\family sans

So, it's at level #4.
We did this by hitting
\family sans
M-Return
\family default

\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Right
\family default
, then changing the paragraph environment to
\family sans

Do this to create list items with more than one paragraph - it also works
for the

\family sans

\family sans

\family default
environments!
\layout Standard
Here's another

\family default
paragraph, also at level #4, made with just a
\family sans

\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#4-a This is level #4.
We hit
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
and changed the paragraph environment back to
\family sans

\family default
.
Remember - we can't nest anything inside of a
\family sans
Standard
\family default

However, we
\emph on
can
\emph default
keep nesting things inside of
\begin_inset Quotes eld

By now, you should know how we made these two.

After this sentence, we'll hit

\layout Standard
There you have it! Oh --- we could have also used the

The example would have worked exactly the same.
\layout Subsubsection
Example #2: Inheritance
\layout LyX-Code
This is the LyX-Code environment, at level #1, the outermost

Now we'll hit

\layout Enumerate
Notice how the nested

not only inherits its margins from its parent environment [
\family sans

\family default

\end_deeper
\layout Standard
We ended this example by hitting
\family sans
Return
\family default
.
After that, we needed to reset the paragraph environment to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
and resetting the nesting depth by using
\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Left
\family default
once.
\layout Subsubsection

We're actually going to nest a bunch of these.
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
This is level #2.
We used
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
followed by
\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Right
\family default
.
Now, what happens if we nest an
\family sans

\family default

label be? An asterisk?
\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
No! It's a bullet.
This is the
\emph on
first
\emph default
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment, even though it's at level #3.
So, its label is a bullet.
[Note: we got here by using
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
, then
\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Right
\family default
, then changing the environment to
\family sans
Itemize
\family default

\begin_deeper
\layout Itemize
Here's level #4, produced using
\family sans

\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Right
\family default

We'll do that again\SpecialChar \ldots{}
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
\SpecialChar \ldots{}
to get to level #5.
This time, however, we also changed the paragraph environment back to
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
.
Notice the type of numbering! It's
\emph on
lowercase Roman
\emph default
, because we're the
\emph on
thirdfold
\emph default
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment [i.e.
we're an
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
inside an
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
inside an
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
].
\layout Enumerate
What happens if we
\emph on
don't
\emph default
change the paragraph environment, but decrease the nesting depth? What
type of numbering does LyX use?
\layout Enumerate
Oh, as if you couldn't guess by now, we're just using
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
to keep the current environment and depth but create a new item.
\layout Enumerate
Let's use
\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Left
\family default
to decrease the depth after the next
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
This is level #4.
Look what type of label LyX is using!
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
This is level #3.
Even though we've changed levels, LyX is still using a lowercase Roman
numeral as the label.
Why?!
\layout Enumerate
Because, even though the nesting depth has changed, the paragraph is
\emph on
still
\emph default
a thirdfold
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment.
Notice, however, that LyX
\emph on
did
\emph default
reset the counter for the label.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Another
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Left
\family default
sequence, and we're back to level #2.
This time, we not only changed the nesting depth, but we also moved back
into the twofold-nested
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
The same thing happens if we do another
\family sans
M-Return
\family default
\family sans
M-p\SpecialChar ~
Left
\family default
sequence and return to level #1, the outermost level.
\layout Standard
Lastly, we reset the environment to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
.
As you can see, the level number doesn't correspond to what type of labelling
LyX uses for the
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
and
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environments.
The number of
\emph on
other
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environments
\emph default
surrounding it determines what kind of label LyX uses for an
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
item.
The same rule applies for the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment, as well.
\layout Subsubsection

\layout Standard
As you can see, nesting environments in LyX gives you a lot of power with
just a few keystrokes.
We could have easily nested an
\family sans

\family sans

\family default
or
\family sans

\family default
, or put a
\family sans

\family sans

You have a huge variety of options at your disposal.
\layout Section
Fonts and Text Styles
\layout Subsection
Overview
\layout Standard
Many modern typesetting and markup languages have begun to move towards
specifying character styles rather than specifying a particular font.
For example, instead of changing to an italicized version of the current
font to emphasize text, you use an
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
emphasized style
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
instead.
This concept fits in perfectly with LyX.
In LyX, you do things based on contexts, rather than focusing on typesetting
details.
\layout Standard
Right now, LyX allows you to specify a global default font, and has two
character styles,
\family sans
Emphasized
\family default
and
\family sans
Noun
\family default
.
The
\family sans
Emphasized
\family default
style corresponds to an italics font.
The
\family sans
Noun
\family default
style corresponds to a font in smallcaps, which some languages and writing
styles use to typeset proper names.
The LyX Team actually hopes to someday have a full set of character styles,
and to also allow the user to customize which font changes correspond to
what styles.
At the moment, though, you'll have to be satisfied with what we've done
already.
\layout Subsection
Global Options
\layout Standard
You can set the default font from the
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
S
\bar default
ettings
\family default
dialog.
There are two options of interest here,
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
onts
\family default
and
\family sans
Font\SpecialChar ~
\bar under
S
\bar default
ize
\family default
.
The possible options under
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
onts
\family default
include
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
default
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and a list of fonts available on your system.
The option
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
default
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
uses the standard TeX fonts, known as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
computer modern
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(cm) or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
European modern
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(ec).
Most systems will typically have some version of a Times and Helvetica
font, with other variants.
You'll have to examine this for yourself.
\layout Standard
As for the
\family sans
Font\SpecialChar ~
\bar under
S
\bar default
ize
\family default
option, there are three possible values:
\family sans
10
\family default
,
\family sans
11
\family default
, and
\family sans
12
\family default
.
Remember, this is the
\emph on
base
\emph default
font size.
LyX actually scales all of the other possible font sizes (such as those
used in footnotes, superscripts, and subscripts) by this value.
You can always fine-tune the font size from within the document if you
need to.
It's also rather silly to use an 8pt or 24pt font as the default font size,
as this typically renders your document unreadable.
\layout Standard
Note that once you choose a new value for
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
onts
\family default
or
\family sans
Font\SpecialChar ~
\bar under
S
\bar default
ize
\family default
, LyX does
\emph on
not
\emph default
change the screen.
You'll only see a difference once you generate the final output.
This is part of the WYSIWYM concept.
Besides, you have certainly noticed that "Roman" text on the LyX screen
corresponds to the default font.
\layout Subsection
Using Different Character Styles
\layout Standard
As we've already seen, LyX automatically changes the character style for
certain paragraph environments.
We also mentioned two other character styles,
\family sans
Emphasized
\family default
and
\family sans
Noun
\family default
.
You can activate both of these styles via keybindings, the menus, and the
toolbar.
\layout Standard
To activate the
\family sans
Noun
\family default
style, do one of the following:
\layout Itemize
click on the toolbar button with the person-shaped icon
\layout Itemize
use the keybinding
\family sans
M-c\SpecialChar ~
c
\layout Standard
These commands are all toggles.
That is, if
\family sans
Noun
\family default
style is already active, they deactivate it.
\layout Standard
One typically uses the
\family sans
Noun
\family default
style for proper names.
For example:
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\noun on
Matthias Ettrich
\noun default
is the original author of LyX.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
\layout Standard
A more widely used character style is the
\family sans
Emphasized
\family default
style.
You can activate [or deactivate - it's also a toggle] the
\family sans
Emphasized
\family default
style by:
\layout Itemize
clicking on the toolbar button with the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
!
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
character on it
\layout Itemize
using the keybindings
\family sans
M-c\SpecialChar ~
e
\layout Standard
At the moment, the
\family sans
Emphasized
\family default
style is equivalent to an italicized font.
We have plans to make that association more user-configurable in the future.
\layout Standard
We've been using the
\family sans
Emphasized
\family default
style all over the place in this document.
Here's one more example:
\layout Quotation
\emph on
Don't overuse character styles!
\layout Standard
It's also a warning in addition to an example.
One's writing should parallel ordinary conversation.
Since we don't all constantly scream at each other, we should also avoid
the common tendency to overuse character style.
\layout Standard
Oh --- one last note: You can always reset to the default font using the
keybinding
\family sans
M-c\SpecialChar ~
Space
\family default
.
\layout Subsection
Fine-Tuning with the
\family sans
Character Layout
\family default
dialog
\layout Standard
There are always occasions when you'll need to do some fine-tuning, so LyX
gives you a way to create custom character style.
For example, an academic journal or a corporation may have a style sheet
requiring a sans-serif font be used in certain situations.
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
Note from
\noun on
John Weiss
\noun default
: There is, in fact, such a style sheet for the LyX Documentation, since
manuals need a certain amount of consistency.
\end_inset
Also, writers sometimes use a different font to offset a character's thoughts
from ordinary dialogue.
\layout Standard
Before we document how to use custom character style, we want to issue a
warning yet again: Don't overuse character styles.
Many modern word processors have a vast array of fonts available to them,
providing you with the power of a printing press.
Unfortunately, there is a tendency to overuse that power.
The phrase,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Using a sledgehammer to swat a fly,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
comes to mind.
And, as the old saying implies, documents that overuse different fonts
and sizes tend to look like someone's knocked huge holes in it.
\layout Standard
Enough complaining.
\layout Standard
To use custom fonts, open the
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Text\SpecialChar ~
\bar under
S
\bar default
tyle
\family default
dialog.
There are seven buttons on this dialog, each corresponding to a different
font property which you can choose.
You can choose an option for one of these seven properties, or select
\family sans
No\SpecialChar ~
change
\family default
, which keeps the current state of that property.
The item
\family sans
Reset
\family default
will reset the property to whatever is the default for the hosting paragraph
environment.
You can use this to reset attributes across a bunch of different paragraph
environments in a snap.

Printing and Previewing
\layout Subsection
Overview
\layout Standard
Now that we've covered some of the basic features of document preparation
using LyX, you probably want to know how to print out your masterpiece.
Before we tell you that, however, we want to give you a quickie explanation
of what goes on behind-the-scenes.
We cover this information in much greater detail in the
\emph on
Extended Features
\emph default
manual as well.
\layout Standard
LyX uses a program called
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
LaTeX
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
as its backend.
(Actually, LaTeX is just a macro package for the TeX typesetting system,
but to prevent confusion, we'll just refer to the whole magilla as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
LaTeX.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
) Think of it this way: LyX is what you use to do your actual writing.
Then, LyX calls LaTeX to turn your writing into printable output.
This happens in a couple of stages:
\layout Enumerate
First, LyX converts your document to a series of text commands for LaTeX,
generating a file with the extension,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
.tex
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\layout Enumerate
Next, LaTeX uses the commands in the
\family typewriter
.tex
\family default
file to produce printable output.
It doesn't know anything about your printer, however.
Instead, LaTeX produces what's known as a
\emph on
device-independent
\emph default
file, or DVI for short.
The actual output is in a file with the extension,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
.dvi
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
DVI files are completely portable; you can move them from one machine to
another without needing to do any sort of conversion.
\begin_deeper
\layout Description
NOTE: The DVI file only contains what was in the LaTeX file itself.
If you have included PostScript pictures in your document, there will only
be a link to these files.
So don't forget these files if you move your
\family typewriter
.dvi
\family default
file to another computer.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Consider the
\family typewriter
.dvi
\family default
file to be the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
final output.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
Once you have it, you can view it, print it, or convert it to other formats.
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
You can view
\family typewriter
.dvi
\family default
files using a program called
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
.
\layout Enumerate
Some printers and Unix systems understand DVI, and can print your
\family typewriter
.dvi
\family default
file directly.
\layout Enumerate
Nowadays, most printers understand the PostScript format.
LyX automatically converts the
\family typewriter
.dvi
\family default
file to a PostScript file for you when you go to print out your document.
LyX will also let you preview a PostScript version of your document using
the program
\family typewriter
ghostview
\family default
.
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
One advantage of using PostScript<70> is that the converter program [called
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
] takes any PostScript graphics you may have included in your document and
puts it into the resulting PostScript version of your document.
It also includes any special fonts you may have used.
That makes the PostScript version much, much more portable than the DVI
version.
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\layout Standard
LyX does all of these steps automagically for you.
\layout Standard
As you have seen, a lot of things happen before you get a hardcopy or a
preview of your document.
So, don't worry if printing requires a bit more time than with other word
processors.
The printed result is worth the wait.
Quality always has its price.

iew\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
D
\bar default

\family default
.
Then wait a while.
\layout Standard
When all of the behind-the-scenes action is done, LyX calls the program
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
.
You can now look at the results.
[If you want more info on the
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
program, see the
\family typewriter
man
\family default

\layout Description
Helpful-Tip: Keep the
\family typewriter
xdvi

Now click on the
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
window.
The
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
program will automatically reread the
\family typewriter
.dvi
\family default
file and give you an updated view.
\layout Subsection
Viewing the PostScript Version with ghostview
\layout Standard
In general, using
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
to view your document is the easiest and fastest way.
There may be times, however, when you want to look at the PostScript version.
One reason is fonts.
\begin_inset Foot

\end_inset
You can use PostScript fonts in a LaTeX document, but
\family typewriter
xdvi
\family default
won't show this.
You'll need to use
\family typewriter
ghostview
\family default
or some other PostScript file viewer to see the actual results.
\layout Standard
To view the PostScript version of your document, select
\family sans

\family default
menu, or click on the toolbar button with the printer on it.
This opens the
\family sans

\layout Standard
You can choose to only print even-numbered or odd-numbered pages - this
is useful for printing on two sides: you can re-insert the pages after
printing one set of pages, to print on the other side.
Some printers spit out pages face-up, others, face-down.
By choosing a particular order to print in, you can take the entire stack
of pages out of the printer without needing to reorder them.
\layout Standard
You can set the parameters in the
\family sans
Destination
\family default
box as follows :
\layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMMM
\family sans
\bar under

\bar default
rinter
\family default

\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
Note that this printer name isn't for the
\family typewriter
lpr
\family default
command but for
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
.
That means
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
has to be configured for this printer name.
See the section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:dvipsconfig}
\end_inset
or the
\family typewriter

\family default
documentation for details.
The default printer can also be set in

specify the full path.
\layout Standard
Note that printing may need little time, since LaTeX,
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
and, if you don't have a PostScript printer,
\family typewriter
ghostscript
\family default
have to process your document.

LyX automatically converts them to the appropriate length dash in the final

in math mode and has a length of its own.
Here are some examples of the

Those of you reading this from within LyX will see no difference, though
there is one in the printed version.
\layout Standard
One last note about hyphenation --- LyX automatically breaks up words and
inserts hyphens in English text.
(Actually, it's LaTeX that does this, and it will also hyphenate words
in
\emph on
some
\emph default
other languages.) The words won't be hyphenated until you generate the final
output.
\layout Standard
If, for some reason, LaTeX can't break a word correctly, you can set hyphenation
points manually.
This is done with the menu item
\family sans
Hyphenation\SpecialChar ~
\bar under
P
\bar default
oint
\family default

\bar under

Note that these extra hyphenation points are only recommendations to LaTeX.
If no hyphenation is necessary, LaTeX will totally ignore them.

Abbreviations and End of Sentence
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:abbrev}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
When LyX calls LaTeX to generate the final version of your document, LaTeX
automatically distinguishes between words, sentences, and abbreviations.
LaTeX then adds the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
appropriate amount of space
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
: sentences get a little bit more space between the period and the next
word.
Abbreviations get the same amount of space after the period as a word uses.
\layout Standard
Unfortunately, the algorithm for figuring out what's an abbreviation and
what's the end of a sentence is really quite brain-dead.
If a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
.
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is at the end of a lowercase letter, it's the end of a sentence; if it's
at the end of a capitalized letter, it's an abbreviation.
\layout Standard
Here are some examples of
\emph on
correct
\emph default
abbreviations and the end of a sentence:
\layout Itemize
M.
Butterfly
\layout Itemize
Don't worry.
Be happy.
\layout Standard
\SpecialChar \ldots{}
and here's an example of the algorithm going wrong:
\layout Itemize
e.
g.
this is too much space!
\layout Itemize
This is I.
It's okay.
\layout Standard
You won't see anything wrong until you view a final version of your document.
\layout Standard
To fix this problem, use one of the following:
\layout Enumerate
Use a
\family sans
Protected\SpecialChar ~
\bar under

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:protblank-lbreak-horline}

Character
\family default
menu to force the use of inter-sentence spacing.
This function is also bound to

\layout Standard
With the corrections, our earlier examples look like this:
\layout Itemize
e.\SpecialChar ~
g.\SpecialChar ~
this is too much space!
\layout Itemize
This is I\SpecialChar \@.
It's okay.
\layout Standard
Some languages don't use extra spacing between sentences.
If your language is such a language, you don't need to worry about all
of this.

\layout Subsection
Ligatures
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:ligatures}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
It is standard typesetting practice to group certain letters together and
print them as single characters.
These groups are known as
\emph on
ligatures
\emph default
.
Since LaTeX knows about ligatures, your LyX documents will contain them,
too.
Here are the possible ligatures:
\layout Itemize
ff
\layout Itemize
fi
\layout Itemize
fl
\layout Itemize
ffi
\layout Itemize
ffl
\layout Standard
Once in a while, though, you don't want a ligature in a word.
While a ligature may be okay in the word,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
graffiti,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
it looks really weird in compound words, such as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
cufflink
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or the German
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Dorffest.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
To break a ligature, use

\layout Subsection
Widows and Orphans
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:widows}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
In the early days of word processors, page breaks went wherever the page
happened to end.
There was no regard for what was actually going on in the text.
You may remember once printing out a document, only to find the heading
for a new section printed at the very bottom of the page, the first line
of a new paragraph all alone at the bottom of a page, or the last line
of a paragraph at the top of a new page.
These dangly-bits of text became known as
\emph on
widows
\emph default
and
\emph on
orphans
\emph default
.
\layout Standard
Clearly, LyX can avoid breaking pages after a section heading.
That's part of the advantage of paragraph environments.
But what about widows and orphans, where the page breaks leave one line
of a paragraph all alone at the top or bottom of a page? There are rules
built into LaTeX governing page breaks, and some of those rules are there
to specifically prevent widows and orphans.
This is the advantage LyX has in using LaTeX as its backend.
\layout Standard
There's no way we can go into how TeX and LaTeX decide to break a page,
or how you can tweak that behavior.
Some LaTeX books listed in the bibliography [such as\SpecialChar ~
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{latexcompanion}
\end_inset
or\SpecialChar ~
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{latexguide}
\end_inset
] may have more information.
You will almost never need to worry about this, however.

Unlike other typesetting programs, LyX uses

You will not see any numbers within LyX.
You don't need to worry about those, anyhow, because LyX does the numbering
for you, as well as putting the footnote at the bottom of the correct page,
when it processes your file.
If you want to turn already existing text into a footnote, simply mark
it and click on the footnote button (a picture of text with an arrow pointing
to stuff in the bottom margin).
\layout Standard
What LyX cannot do, yet, is take care of special needs like setting the
footnote numbering back to 1 after each section in the

NOTE: A float in LaTeX and LyX isn't a simple paragraph as with usual word

It is a complex text structure that may contain everything except floats.
That means you can use all the layouts inside a float, even figures and

You may not need this too often, but if you do occasionally need it, it's
a neat feature.

\layout Standard
As a default, LyX uses 1.9 cm (0.75 inches) as the margin width to allow room
for margin notes.
This might not be what you're looking for, but as with footnotes, LyX cannot
yet do everything LaTeX has to offer.
You might want to consult your LaTeX handbook for additional commands.
\layout Section
Figures and Imported Graphics
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:figures}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
No document preparation system is complete without the ability to import
graphics from other utilities into the document.
In LyX, these are referred to as ``figures'' whether they are actually
figures in the traditional sense or simply some kind of imported image.
\layout Standard
Note that figures referred to here are do not have captions and sit wherever
in the document you place them.
If you need one of these features, see sec.\SpecialChar ~
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:figurefloats}
\end_inset
below.
\layout Standard
To place a figure in your document, click on the second right-most icon
on the toolbar, or select
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
G
\bar default
raphics...
\family default
from the menu.
\layout Standard
A graphics inset will be added to your document and a dialog will appear
for you to choose the file to load.
You can also change any settings you need to in this dialog.
\layout Standard
\align center
\begin_inset Graphics
filename mobius.eps
display color
scale 70
rotateOrigin center
\end_inset
\layout Standard
This dialog has numerous parameters, though most should be self-explanatory.
The
\family sans
File
\family default
tab allows you to choose your image file (note that a wide variety of image
formats are supported automatically).
The figure can be transformed by setting a rotation angle, using a bounding
box, and scaling.
Table\SpecialChar ~
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{cap:Units-for-image}
\end_inset
describes all available units.
It is possible to set a bounding box automatically for some image formats
(see the
\family sans
Bounding\SpecialChar ~
Box
\family default
tab).
Note that it is possible to control the display of the figure in LyX and
the display in the final document separately, which can be very useful
for large figures.
LaTeX wizards can specify additional LaTeX options in the
\family sans
Extras
\family default
tab.
You can also set the
\family sans
Subfigure
\family default
option here, for use in figure floats (see Section\SpecialChar ~
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:figurefloats}

).
\layout Subsection
How it works
\layout Standard
LyX has the ability to handle literally any graphics format in the known
universe so long as a conversion path from this graphics format to the
target output format can be created.
If that sounds a little obtuse, consider how LyX handles Encapsulated PostScrip
t<EFBFBD> figures.
LaTeX provides native support for this format, so LyX needs do nothing
other than use the
\family typewriter
\backslash
includegraphics
\family default
LaTeX command to insert the figure in the final document.

To view the figure on the LyX screen, however, some additional work is required
because neither the XForms nor the Qt GUI libraries can load PostScript<70>
figures themselves.
The XForms library can load figures in the following, widely used graphics
formats:
\family typewriter
bmp
\family default
,
\family typewriter
gif
\family default
,
\family typewriter
jpeg
\family default
,
\family typewriter
pbm
\family default
,
\family typewriter
pgm
\family default
,
\family typewriter
ppm
\family default
,
\family typewriter
tif
\family default
and
\family typewriter
xbm
\family default
whilst the Qt library can also handle
\family typewriter
mng
\family default
,
\family typewriter
png
\family default
and
\family typewriter
xpm
\family default
format figures.
Thus, LyX must initiate a conversion from Encapsulated PostScript<70> to a
loadable graphics format.
\layout Standard
It does this using the powerful, configurable converters mechanism exposed
in the
\family sans
Converters
\family default
section of the
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit
\family default
\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\family sans
\bar under
P
\bar default
references
\family default
dialog.
If LyX cannot create a conversion path (which might have many steps) from
Encapsulated PostScript<70> to one of the loadable formats listed above, then
it defaults to the use of ImageMagick's
\family typewriter
convert
\family default
utility.
If, after all that, LyX
\emph on
still
\emph default
cannot load the figure, then it'll tell you so with a message
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Error converting to loadable format
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in place of an on-screen view of your figure.
If you're presented with such a message, then you'll need to augment the
list of known converters.
\layout Standard
This strategy is used both to generate on-screen views of your image and
when generating the final document.
In the latter case, the LaTeX compiler must be supplied with graphics files
in PostScript<70> format.
Similarly the PDFLaTeX compiler requires files in
\family typewriter
pdf
\family default
,
\family typewriter
png
\family default
or
\family typewriter
jpeg
\family default
format.
LyX will handle the necessary conversions behind the scenes.

You will get a float without a figure in it; use the toolbar icon described
above to insert the actual figure.

\end_inset
\layout Standard
It seems simple, but there is subtlety involved in the placement of the
caption.
If you prefer your caption to appear below the figure, then you must press
return when the cursor is at the very start of the caption, and insert
the figure in the new paragraph created above the caption; or you can delete
the caption and recreate it by selecting the
\family sans
Caption
\family default
environment after the figure has been inserted.
This is what we did for figure
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{fig:kill-plat}
\end_inset
.
If the cursor is in a paragraph after the caption when you insert the
\family sans
Figure
\family default
then it will be inserted after the caption, as was the case for
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{fig:escher}
\end_inset
.
It is preferred to use one
\family sans
Figure
\family default
per
\family sans
Float
\family default
.
This allows LyX [actually LaTeX] to best position each figure.
\layout Standard
Right-clicking on a float opens a dialog where you can alter the placement
options that LaTeX uses for positioning the float (see
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:float-locn}
\end_inset
).
\family sans
Span\SpecialChar ~
columns
\family default
is only useful for two-column documents: if you select it, the float will
span across both columns on the page instead of being confined to just
one.
\layout Standard
This figure also shows how we place a label and create a cross-reference
to it; as you would expect from reading section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:crossref}
\end_inset
you can simply insert a
\family sans
\bar under
L
\bar default
abel
\family default
in the caption and refer to it using a
\family sans
\bar under
C
\bar default
ross\SpecialChar ~
Reference
\family default
as normal.
It is especially important to use these with figure floats, rather than
using vague references to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
the above figure,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
as LaTeX will reposition your floats for you in the final document; it
might not be
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
above
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
at all.
If it is not possible to fit the floats neatly on the same page as the
text which refers to it, the figures will be placed on a separate page
by themselves.
Rest assured that the overall effect is usually quite nice.
\layout Standard
Note that the caption is used in a
\family sans
List\SpecialChar ~
of\SpecialChar ~
\bar under
F
\bar default
igures
\family default
(as described in Section\SpecialChar ~
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:ListsOf}
\end_inset
) automatically, should you choose to include one in your document.
\layout Subsubsection
Float Placement
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:float-locn}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Now, the whole idea behind
\family sans
Figure\SpecialChar ~
Floats
\family default
[as well as
\family sans
Table\SpecialChar ~
Floats
\family default
, which we introduce later] is to allow LyX to place a figure [or table]
on a page in a consistent, sensible fashion.
The rules LaTeX uses are rather arcane; refer to the LaTeX documentation
for the exact details.
You can use check boxes in the float dialog to set placement for a particular
float.
By default, each float uses the document's default placement rules.
You can change these, if you wish, in the
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
S
\bar default
ettings
\family default
dialog.
The
\family sans
Float\SpecialChar ~
placement
\family default
box takes a LaTeX-style placement specification.
You can place any combination of four letters in the
\family sans
Float\SpecialChar ~
placement
\family default
box, in any order:
\layout Itemize
\family sans
h
\family default
for
\emph on
here
\layout Itemize
\family sans
t
\family default
for
\emph on
top
\layout Itemize
\family sans
b
\family default
for
\emph on
bottom
\layout Itemize
\family sans
p
\family default
for
\emph on
page
\layout Standard
The letters correspond to the following behaviour:
\layout Description
Here: LyX tries to put the
\family sans
Float
\family default
at the same point in the text where you put it.
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
If there isn't enough room, LyX tries one of the other three location types.
\end_deeper
\layout Description
Top: LyX tries to put the
\family sans
Float
\family default
at the top of the current page.
If the figure won't fit on the current page, it goes to the next page.
\layout Description
Bottom: LyX tries to put the
\family sans
Float
\family default
at the bottom of the current page.
If there isn't room, it goes to the next page.
\layout Description
Page: LyX tries to put the
\family sans
Float
\family default
(or a number of
\family sans
Float
\family default
s) on a page of its own.
\layout Standard
There is some subtlety to how this all works.
The order specifies what location LyX should try first.
If that one fails, it tries the next one, and so on, though
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
h
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
will always take precedence if it appears in the list.
The default placement list is
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
tbp
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
: try the top of a text page first, then the bottom of a text page, then
on a page by itself.
If you want LyX to try
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
really hard
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
to place the figure where you command it, precede the list with an exclamation
point; for example
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
!htbp
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
Here are some example entries and what they do:
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
hbp
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
Try putting the figure/table at its actual position in the text.
If that doesn't work, put it on the bottom of the page.
If that fails, put it on a separate page.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
!hbp
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
Try really hard to put the figure/table at its actual position in the text.
Then the bottom of the page, then on a separate page.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
tp
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
Put the figure/table at the top of each page.
If it's too long, put it on a separate page.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
p
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
Always put figures and tables on their own page.
\end_deeper
\layout Subsection
XFig and LyX
\layout Standard
One obvious question is
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
how would I create the figures?
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
Fortunately, the answer is included in most Linux and/or LaTeX distributions.
\family typewriter
XFig
\family default
is a powerful though slightly awkward drawing tool.
If you want to include figures that you have created with
\family typewriter
XFig
\family default
there are several ways.
We recommend the following:
\layout Enumerate
Export the figure as Encapsulated PostScript.
This could be very easy included into LyX as described in the previous
sections.
The great advantage of this way is, that you have the full power of PostScript<70>
available.
That means Bezier curves, colors, all line thicknesses and many more.
If you have inserted text into your fig-document this will be printed with
PostScript fonts, which is OK\SpecialChar \@.
The figure can be manipulated like any other
EPS figure, as described above.
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
The only disadvantage is that you cannot create formulas as PostScript text
except by hand.
If you also need formulas or simple exponents or indices in your figure,
the next way is recommended.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Export the figure as LaTeX.
This is just as easy to include into LyX, with the advantage that you may
use all LaTeX commands within the text inside XFig.
Therefore you have to set the
\emph on
special flag
\emph default
for text in XFig.
This is automatic if you invoke XFig with
\family typewriter
xfig\SpecialChar ~
-specialtext
\family default
.
If this is done and you have also chosen a LaTeX font you may simply write
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
$H_2$
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in
\family typewriter
XFig\SpecialChar \@.
\family default
If you export this figure as LaTeX and include it in LyX with
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Chil
\bar under
d
\bar default
\SpecialChar ~
Document
\family default
(see description in
\emph on
Extended Features
\emph default
) this text will appear as
\begin_inset Formula $H_{2}$
\end_inset
.
\begin_deeper
\layout Standard
The disadvantage of this way is that the graphical power of LaTeX isn't
as strong as PostScript<70>\SpecialChar \@.
You cannot use all thicknesses of lines and, more
annoyingly, not all slopes.
This is why we recommend the third way for more complex figures.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
Export the figure as LaTeX/PostScript combined.
Then
\family typewriter
XFig
\family default
[
\family typewriter
transfig
\family default
, really] will generate two files:
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
the PostScript part
\family typewriter
foo.pstex
\family default
, that contains all painting.
\layout Enumerate
the LaTeX part
\family typewriter
foo.pstex_t
\family default
, that contains all text and a link to the PostScript part.
\end_deeper
\layout Standard
Then you just have to include the LaTeX part as described above.
This will automatically include the PostScript part, too.
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
If you get an error like
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
unknown graphics extension pstex
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
you have to declare these graphic extensions.
I think this is a
\family typewriter
transfig
\family default
bug that occurs with LaTeX2e.
Simply add a line like
\layout Standard
\family typewriter
\backslash
@namedef{Gin@rule@ps_tex}#1{{eps}{ps_tex}{#1}}
\layout Standard
in the file
\family typewriter
/usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/dvips.def
\family default
.
Then add
\family typewriter
pstex
\family default
to the extension:
\layout Standard
\backslash
def
\backslash
Gin@extensions{eps, ps, pstex, eps.gz, ps.gz, eps=2EZ}
\layout Standard
This should fix the whole thing.
Alternatively you may export the postscript part as
\family typewriter
foo.eps
\family default
and change the LaTeX part
\family typewriter
foo.pstex_t
\family default
manually.
But this is annoying.
\end_inset
This way you have the full PostScript<70> and LaTeX power combined except
for the possibility to scale the figure after creating.
So if you want scalable pictures, the PostScript format is your only choice.
Another little advantage of letting LaTeX typeset the font is that the
same font will appear in your figures as in your text, which looks a little
nicer.
\layout Section
Tables
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:tables}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
LyX has powerful table support, but LaTeX can do many more things with tables
than LyX is currently capable of, so you might want to look at a good LaTeX
book if the features described here should turn out to be inadequate.
\layout Standard
You can insert a table using either the table toolbar button or
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
T
\bar default
able
\family default
.
A dialog will appear, asking you for the number of rows and columns.
The default table has lines at the top and to the left of every cell, a
line to the right of the rightmost column and a line at the bottom of the
lowest row, forming a box around the table.
Additionally, the topmost row also has a line at the bottom, which causes
this row to appear separated from the rest of the table.
Here's an example:
\layout Standard
\align center

The Table dialog
\layout Standard
You can alter a table by clicking on it with the right mouse button, which
brings up a settings dialog.
Among these options are:
\layout Itemize
Adding/removing border lines from a row or column.
If you remove the top line from one of the rows, you'll get a dotted line
in LyX, but no line will appear in the printout.
If you set the bottom line of one row and the top line of the row below,
then the rows are separated by a small space, as you can see with the top
row in the example above.
You can do the same vertically if you set the right line of a column and
the left line of the column to the right.
\layout Itemize
Text alignment in a column
\layout Itemize
Appending rows and columns
\layout Itemize
Deleting rows, columns, or the entire table
\layout Itemize
Multicolumn
\layout Itemize
Setting a fixed width for a column
\layout Itemize
Longtable options - this is useful if your table is higher than the paper.
Then the table is split on the bottom of the page and continued on the
next one, instead of running of the end of the page.
\layout Itemize
Rotate the whole table or a single cell sideways, by 90 degrees
\layout Standard
You can also use the menu to perform these operations.
Try
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\family default
\bar under
T
\family sans
\bar default
able
\family default
when the cursor is inside a table.
\layout Standard
Most of these options also work on selections.
This means that if you select more cells, columns or rows the action is
done on all of your selection.
Note that there is a difference between selecting the
\emph on
contents
\emph default
of the cell, and the cell itself.
If you can see a red border inside a cell, then a selection will select
the contents.
If you press
\family sans
Escape
\family default
or click outside of the box, then the selection will select cells (whether
you use the mouse or the normal cursor-movement keys).
\layout Standard
When you append a row, it is added
\emph on
below
\emph default
the row containing the cursor.
Similarly, columns are appended to the
\emph on
right
\emph default
of the cursor.
This makes it difficult to add columns on the left edge of a table without
a lot of cutting and pasting.
Deletion is always performed on the row or column containing the cursor.
\layout Standard
The multicolumn option merges two or more adjacent cells on a given row.
For example, in the above table, row
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
B
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
has had multicolumn applied to the columns labelled
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
45
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
98.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
To use it, you must first select the cells, then choose
\family sans
Multicolumn
\family default
from the menu.
This will not work vertically - see the Table Examples document for how
to do this.
\layout Standard
You can also use
\family sans
Multicolumn
\family default
if you need to have a special handling for a single table cell's top and
bottom border lines and text alignment.
Here an example of this special handling of a cell:
\layout Standard

dialog.
This will then allow the cell to have multiple paragraphs of text.
\layout Standard
If your table becomes too large to fit on a portrait document layout, you
can select the
\family sans
Rotate\SpecialChar ~
90<EFBFBD>
\family default
button, and the table will appear sideways (this means landscape in a portrait
document style).
You might also like to rotate single table cells to give them more horizontal
space.
The example below demonstrates why it is useful to rotate single cells.
\layout Standard
\emph on
Note:
\emph default
This
\family sans

only
\emph default

What can be placed inside a table cell?
\layout Standard
Many objects can be placed inside a table cell.
Any single line of text, an equation (not a displayed or multilined equation,
though), or a figure can be in a cell; in fact, all three kinds of objects
can be placed in the same cell.
Font sizes and shapes can be altered, and the table will adjust to display
them properly.
However, you can't put a special environment in a cell (like
\family sans
Section*
\family default
, etc.), nor set spacing options etc.
for the cell's paragraph.
\layout Subsection
Cut & Paste in Tables
\layout Standard
Cutting and pasting between tables works reasonably well.
You can cut and paste even more than one row.
Selection with the mouse or with
\family sans
Shift
\family default
plus the arrow keys works as usual.
The values in the second table below were cut and pasted from the first,
using the mouse to select and paste.

Multiple lines in cells
\layout Standard
It is possible to have multi-line entries in tables, but not in a completely
WYSIWYM manner.
Define a fixed length for the column in the
\family sans
Table
\family default
dialog.
After this, your text is automatically split into more lines and the cell
enlarged vertically when the length of the text exceeds the given fixed
length.

\layout Standard
Text within a cell will not normally wrap to fit the page, so if a line
of text in a table is too long, the table will extend beyond the right
margin of the page.
Similarly, tables will not split themselves at the bottom of a page, and
so might extend below the bottom margin.
You have these options to resolve this problem:
\layout Enumerate
Split it into two tables.
\layout Enumerate
Select the
\family sans
Longtable
\family default
button in the
\family sans
Table
\family default
dialog.
This automatically splits the table over more pages, if it is too tall.
After doing this, the list of
\family sans
Longtable
\family default
buttons activate themselves and you may now define:
\begin_deeper
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
First\SpecialChar ~
header
\family default
: The current row and all rows above that don't have any special options
defined are defined to be the header rows of the first page of the longtable.
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Header
\family default
: The current row and all rows above that don't have any special options
defined are defined to be the header rows of all pages of the longtable;
except for the first page, if
\family sans
First\SpecialChar ~
header
\family default
is defined.
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Footer
\family default
: The current row and all rows below that don't have any special options
defined are defined to be the footer rows of all pages of the longtable;
except for the last page, if
\family sans
Last\SpecialChar ~
footer
\family default
is defined.
\layout Enumerate
\family sans
Last\SpecialChar ~
footer
\family default
: The current row and all rows below that don't have any special options
defined are defined to be the footer rows of the last page of the longtable.
\layout Standard
If you set more than one option in the same table row, you should be aware
of the fact that only the first flag is used in the given table rows.
The others will then be defined as
\emph on
empty
\emph default
.
In this context, first means first in this order:
\family sans
Footer, Last\SpecialChar ~
footer,
\family default
\family sans
Header,
\family default
\family sans
First\SpecialChar ~
header.
\family default
\emph on
\emph default
See the
\family typewriter
TableExamples.lyx
\family default
example file to see how this works.
\emph on
\layout Standard
The check box in the long table options can be used to specify specific
rows to break the page on as well.
\end_deeper
\layout Enumerate
A table can also be placed in a float, as described below, which will allow
TeX to place it as well as it can within the page.
\layout Subsection
Table Floats
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:table float}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Outside of a float, the table will be positioned exactly where it is placed
in the document.
Using a
\family sans
\shape up
Tabl

a

exactly where you insert it.
Float placement for table floats is similar to that for figure floats
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:figurefloats}
\end_inset
, and is described in section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:float-locn}
\end_inset
.
Captions also work the same way as with figure floats, as described in
section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:figurefloats}
\end_inset
.
Table
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{table:a table float}
\end_inset
is an example of a table float.
\begin_inset Float table

Table of Contents and other Listings
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:toc}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
One of the really nice features of LaTeX is the ease with which it lets
you create various
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Lists,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
such as a Table of Contents.
All you need to do is to use certain environments and insert a reference
at the place where you want the list to appear.
\layout Subsection
The Table of Contents
\layout Standard
In order to get a Table of Contents, you need to do four things:
\layout Enumerate
Use a document class that includes support (all but
\family typewriter
letter
\family default
).
\layout Enumerate
Set paragraph environments appropriately:
\family sans
Chapter
\family default
,
\family sans
(Sub...) Section
\family default
,
\family sans
(Sub...), Paragraph
\family default
.
Note that styles with a
\family sans
*
\family default
, like
\family sans
Section*
\family default
, will
\emph on
not
\emph default
appear in the Table of Contents.
\layout Enumerate
Make sure you set the
\family sans
\bar under
S
\bar default
ection\SpecialChar ~
number\SpecialChar ~
depth
\family default
and
\family sans
\bar under
T
\bar default
able\SpecialChar ~
of\SpecialChar ~
contents
\family default
.
\family sans
\SpecialChar ~
depth
\family default
in the
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar ~
Layout
\family default
dialog to the appropriate value as described in
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:section-depth}
\end_inset
\layout Enumerate
Insert the ToC command at some place in the document.
You'll find it under
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
List\SpecialChar ~
/\SpecialChar ~
T
\bar under
O
\bar default
C\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
T
\bar default
able\SpecialChar ~

\family default
.
\layout Standard
You can also bring up a dialog for navigating through your document with
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
T
\bar default
able\SpecialChar ~

\layout Subsection
List of Figures, Tables and Algorithms
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:ListsOf}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Table, figure, and algorithm lists are very much like the table of contents.
You can insert them from the
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
List\SpecialChar ~
/\SpecialChar ~
\bar under
T
\bar default
OC
\family default
submenu.
If you want figures, tables, or algorithms to appear in the list, you must
place them inside a float of the relevant type and add a caption.
\layout Chapter
Mathematical Formulae
\layout Section
Basic Math Editing
\layout Standard
To create a math formula, you can just click on the toolbar icon with
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{a+b}{c}$
\end_inset
on it.
That will open a little blue square, with purple markers around it, on
the corners.
That blue square is the formula itself; the purple markers indicate what
level of nesting within the formula you are at.
You can also choose a particular formula type to insert via the
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert
\bar under
\SpecialChar \menuseparator
M
\bar default
ath
\family default
menu; or you can use a keyboard macro,
\family sans
M-c\SpecialChar ~
m
\family default
,
\family sans
M-m\SpecialChar ~
m
\family default
, or
\family sans
C-m
\family default
(CUA binding only).
\layout Standard
If you simply need to type a single Greek letter, such as
\begin_inset Formula $\alpha$
\end_inset
, there is a special shortcut.
Just type
\family sans
M-m\SpecialChar ~
g\SpecialChar ~
a
\family default
to get
\begin_inset Formula $\alpha$
\end_inset
,
\family sans
M-m\SpecialChar ~
g\SpecialChar ~
b
\family default
to get
\begin_inset Formula $\beta$
\end_inset
, etc.
\layout Standard
Editing the parameters of a formula may be done from the
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
M
\bar default
ath\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Math\SpecialChar ~
Pane
\bar under

\family default
\bar default
dialog, or via
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
M
\bar default
ath
\family default
.
The math panel is very useful, so you may want to open it and leave it
somewhere on the screen.
If you're not already in a formula, selecting anything from the math panel
will insert a formula for you.
\layout Subsection
Navigating a Formula
\layout Standard
The best control over cursor position within an existing formula is achieved
with the arrow keys.
Mathed uses small squares to indicate places where something can be inserted.
The arrow keys can be used to navigate between parts of a formula.
Pressing
\family sans
Space
\family default
will leave a fraction or other formula construct (a square root
\begin_inset Formula $\sqrt{2}$
\end_inset
, or parentheses
\begin_inset Formula $\left(f\right)$
\end_inset
, or a matrix
\begin_inset Formula $\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 2\\
3 & 4\end{array}\right]$
\end_inset
).
Pressing
\family sans
Escape
\family default
will leave the formula, placing the cursor after the formula.
\family sans
Tab
\family default
can be used to move horizontally in a formula; for example, through the
cells of a matrix or the positions in a multi-line equation.
\layout Standard
\family sans
Space
\family default
seems to do nothing in Mathed, since it does not in fact add a space between
characters, but it does exit a nested structure.
For this reason, you have to be careful about using
\family sans
Space
\family default
.
For example, if you want
\begin_inset Formula $\sqrt{2x+1}$
\end_inset
, type
\family typewriter
\backslash
sqrt
\family sans
\SpecialChar ~
\family default
then
\family sans
Space
\family default
, then
\family sans
\SpecialChar ~
\family typewriter
2x+1
\family default
, not
\family typewriter
\backslash
sqrt
\family sans
\SpecialChar ~
Space\SpecialChar ~
\family typewriter
2x
\family sans
\SpecialChar ~
Space\SpecialChar ~
\family typewriter
+
\family sans
\SpecialChar ~
Space\SpecialChar ~
\family typewriter
1
\family default
, since in the latter case only the
\family typewriter
\begin_inset Formula $2x$
\end_inset
\family default
will be under the square root sign,
\begin_inset Formula $\sqrt{2x}+1$
\end_inset
.
For those who learned to space out expressions in this way, it takes a
little unlearning.
\layout Standard
You can leave many parts of a formula, like this matrix, partially filled
in, such as:
\begin_inset Formula \[
\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
\lambda_{1}\\
& \ddots\\
& & \lambda_{n}\end{array}\right).\]
\end_inset
If you leave a fraction only partially filled in, or a subscript with nothing
in it, the results will be unpredictable, but most constructs don't mind.
\layout Subsection
Selecting Text
\layout Standard
You can select text within a formula in two different ways.
Place the cursor at one end of the string of text you want, and press
\family sans
Shift
\family default
and a cursor movement key to select text.
It will be highlighted as with regular text selection.
Alternatively, you can select text with the mouse in the usual way.
That text can then be cut or copied, and then pasted within any formula
(not in a plain text region in LyX, though).
\layout Subsection
Exponents and Subscripts
\layout Standard
You can use the math panel to add superscripts or subscripts, but the much
easier way is to use the standard TeX method.
To get
\begin_inset Formula $x^{2}$
\end_inset
, type (in Mathed)
\family typewriter
x^2
\family default
then
\family sans
Space
\family default
.
The final
\family sans
Space
\family default
puts the cursor back down on the base line of the expression, instead of
in the superscript.
If you type
\family typewriter
x^2y
\family default
, you will get
\begin_inset Formula $x^{2y}$
\end_inset
, to get
\begin_inset Formula $x^{2}y$
\end_inset
, type
\family typewriter
x^2
\family sans
\family default
then
\family sans
Space
\family default
then
\family sans
\SpecialChar ~
\family typewriter
y
\family default
.
Subscripts are similar, to get
\begin_inset Formula $a_{1}$
\end_inset
, type (in Mathed)
\family typewriter
a_1
\family sans
\SpecialChar ~
\family default
then
\family sans
Space
\family default
.
Note that by default, the superscript or subscript is only for the single
symbol to the left, which changes the spacing and alignment; you should
read section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:Grouping}
\end_inset
if you need to alter this.
\layout Subsection
Fractions
\layout Standard
Create a fraction with either
\family typewriter
\backslash
frac
\family sans
\family default
(in Mathed) or using the fraction icon in the

\layout Subsection
Sums and Integrals
\layout Standard
Sum (
\begin_inset Formula $\sum$
\end_inset
) and integral (
\begin_inset Formula $\int$
\end_inset
) signs are very often decorated with one or more sets of
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
limits
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
These limits can be entered in LyX by entering them as you would enter
a superscript or subscript, directly after the symbol.
Sum will automatically place its
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
limits
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
over and under the symbol in display style, but will move them to the side
when inlined, such as
\begin_inset Formula $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!}=e$
\end_inset
, versus
\begin_inset Note
collapsed false
\layout Standard
We haven't yet explained what display vs.
inline means...
\end_inset
\begin_inset Formula \[
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^{n}}{n}=\ln\left(\frac{1}{1-x}\right).\]
\end_inset
Integral signs, however, will not by default move the limits to directly
over and under the integral sign in display style, as in
\begin_inset Formula $\int_{a}^{x}f(t)dt:=F(x)$
\end_inset
, versus
\begin_inset Formula \[
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{dx}{1+x^{2}}=\pi.\]
\end_inset
Both symbols will be automatically re-sized when placed in display mode.
In display mode, the placement of the limits (directly above and below,
or offset to the right from the sign) can be changed by placing the cursor
in front of the sign and hitting
\family sans
M-m l
\family default
.
Exactly what change occurs depends on the sign.
\layout Standard
Certain other mathematical expressions have this
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
moving limits
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
feature as addition, such as
\begin_inset Formula \[
\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}f(x),\]
\end_inset
which will place the
\begin_inset Formula $x\rightarrow\infty$
\end_inset
underneath the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
lim
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in display mode, but not in inlined mode,
\begin_inset Formula $\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}f(x)$
\end_inset
.
Note that the
\begin_inset Formula $\lim$
\end_inset
was entered as a function - you get it in LyX by typing
\family typewriter
\backslash
lim
\family default
in math-mode, or choosing from the
\begin_inset Quotes eld

) has a more extensive list of symbols and structures.
As stated earlier, you can keep the math panel open when writing mathematics.
The use of the panel should be fairly obvious; we'll describe some of the
details in later sections.
\layout Standard
Note that right-clicking on a formula opens the panel as well.
\layout Subsection
Other Math Symbols
\layout Standard
Most math symbols can be found in the math panel under one of several categories
; including
\family sans
Greek
\family default
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma\rho\epsilon\epsilon\kappa$
\end_inset
,
\family sans
operators
\family default
\begin_inset Formula $\pm\times$
\end_inset
,
\family sans
relations
\family default
\begin_inset Formula $\leq\cong$
\end_inset
,
\family sans
arrows
\family default
\begin_inset Formula $\uparrow\Leftrightarrow$
\end_inset
,
\family sans
large\SpecialChar ~
operators
\family default
\begin_inset Formula $\sum\int$
\end_inset
, and the dreaded
\family sans
miscellaneous
\family default
.
There are also the additional symbols provided by the American Mathematical
Society (AMS).
If you know the standard LaTeX macro for a particular symbol you which
to use, you do not have to use these dialogs, but they will help for those
symbols whose LaTeX name you do not know.
Note that the AMS symbols will not be displayed as symbols in LyX unless
you install the right fonts as described in the relevant manual.
\layout Standard
It is possible to get an nth root symbol.
In the minibuffer, type
\family typewriter
math-insert root
\family default
.
This generates a root symbol with an extra box above the root sign.
Use
\family sans
Up
\family default
and
\family sans
Down
\family default
to move between the two boxes.
You can also use the key binding
\family sans
M-m-r
\family default
.
\layout Subsection
Altering spacing
\layout Standard
You may want to create blank spaces that differs from the standard spacing
that LaTeX provides.
We don't recommend this as a matter of course, since the whole idea of
WYSIWYM is that you don't think about the typesetting, but the content.
However, there are situations where you will want to add spaces.
The first thing to do is to type
\family sans
C-Space
\family default
.
This generates a small space, and shows a small marker on the screen within
LyX:
\begin_inset Formula $a\, b$
\end_inset
.
The next trick is to change that space to different sizes.
\emph on
Before
\emph default
you move the cursor, after typing
\family sans
C-Space
\family default
, if you hit
\family sans
Space
\family default
again, you will change the size of the space, through a number of variable
sizes.
The last ones in the list are red, and are a negative space.
For example:
\begin_inset Formula $a\quad b$
\end_inset
, or
\begin_inset Formula $a\! b$
\end_inset
.
You can also insert these spaces via the math panel.
\layout Subsection
Math functions
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:math-functions}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The math panel contains a number of
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
functions
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, such as
\begin_inset Formula $\sin$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula $\lim$
\end_inset
,
\emph on
etc
\emph default
.
(you can type them in a formula by typing
\family typewriter
\backslash
sin
\family default
etc).
Standard mathematical practice is that functions which are names, like
\begin_inset Formula $\sin$
\end_inset
, should not be italicized.
Entering just the letters
\begin_inset Formula $sin$
\end_inset
within Mathed will give italics, of course, so these special macros are
available.
They do more to the final output than just change the typeface, however.
For example, the expression
\begin_inset Formula $\sin t$
\end_inset
will typeset with a little extra space between the n and the t.
For words which are more sophisticated mathematical objects, like
\begin_inset Formula $\lim$
\end_inset
, the macro changes the way that subscripts are placed, depending on whether
the math-inset is inlined or displayed:
\begin_inset Formula $\lim_{x\rightarrow0}f(x)=L$
\end_inset
versus
\begin_inset Formula \[
\lim_{x\rightarrow0}f(x)=L.\]
\end_inset
These two expressions were typed the same way, but using the macro
\family typewriter
\backslash
lim
\family default
alters the appearance (actually, it is the inlined version that is altered,
to improve linespacing).
\layout Subsection
Accents
\layout Standard
In a formula you can insert accented characters in the same way as in text
mode.
This may depend on your keyboard, or the bindings file you use.
You can also use TeX macro equivalents, as macros.
That is, you can enter
\begin_inset Formula $\hat{a}$
\end_inset
to get the same effect if your keyboard does not have accents enabled.
This is entered by typing
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
\backslash
hat a
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in Mathed.
These are the equivalences between the text names and the macro names for
the various accents:

\layout Subsection
The math editor for LaTeX users
\layout Standard
Editing mathematical expressions in LyX can be done in one of two ways.
You can use the native LyX support for rendering the formulae in a WYSIWYM
fashion.
LaTeX users might like to be able to use the keyboard to enter things like
\family typewriter
$
\backslash
alpha$
\family default
(this gets, in ordinary TeX, an
\begin_inset Formula $\alpha$
\end_inset
in the final document), believing that it is faster than chasing around
menus for a symbol.
Here's a testimonial of one of those old LaTeX users,
\noun on
David Johnson:
\layout Quotation
I was finally convinced that the math editor was the way to go when I found
that, with a few modifications, I could use it the same way I was accustomed
to writing TeX.
As an example, I created this
\begin_inset Formula $\alpha$
\end_inset
by typing the following keys: First type
\family typewriter
\family sans
M-c\SpecialChar ~
m
\family typewriter
\family default
to enter
\family typewriter
math-mode
\family default
, then type
\family typewriter
\backslash
alpha
\family sans
\family default
, then
\family sans
Space
\family default
and
\family sans
Esc
\family default
.
As soon as I typed that
\family sans
Space
\family default
the
\begin_inset Formula $\alpha$
\end_inset
was right there on the screen.
\layout Standard
The
\family sans
M-c\SpecialChar ~
m
\family default
sequence inserts a formula (you may also use
\family sans
C-m
\family default
or
\family sans
M-m\SpecialChar ~
m
\family default
), the
\family typewriter
\backslash
alpha
\family default
is of course the standard TeX command for a Greek alpha letter, and the
\family sans
Esc
\family default
leaves the formula.
Some of the advantages of this approach are:
\layout Itemize
You have immediate visual feedback to be sure your TeX was correct
\layout Itemize
You have the real mathematical expression on the screen, correctly displayed,
to make sure your mathematics is correct (correctly written, at least)
\layout Itemize
All the new LaTeX fuss with special environments and such are taken care
of by LyX, not you
\layout Itemize
You won't have to chase through the code trying to find that missing
\family sans
$
\family default
or extra
\family sans
{
\family default
any more
\layout Itemize
If you don't remember the LaTeX name of a particular symbol, like
\begin_inset Formula $\wp$
\end_inset
, you can find it in the dialogs
\layout Section
Brackets and decorations
\layout Standard
There are several brackets available through LyX.
For most purposes, using just the keys
\family typewriter
[{]}()|
\backslash
<>
\family default
should suffice, but the effect, especially if you want to surround a large
structure, such as a matrix or a fraction, or if you have several layers
of brackets, is better using the math panel's
\family sans
Delimiter
\family default
dialog [see sec.
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:math-panel}
\end_inset
].
For example, that's how you would construct the brackets around a standard
matrix such as :
\begin_inset Formula \[
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 2\\
3 & 4\end{array}\right],\]
\end_inset
and to make it easier to see the layers of parentheses of an abomination
such as:
\begin_inset Formula \[
\frac{1}{\left(1+\left(\frac{1}{1+\left(\frac{1}{1+x}\right)}\right)\right)}\]
\end_inset
or:
\begin_inset Formula \[
f\left(g\left(h\left(k\left(l\left(x\right)\right)\right)\right)\right).\]
\end_inset
The parentheses, and other brackets, from that menu will automatically re-size
to accommodate the size of what is inside (This is done in straight LaTeX
by
\family typewriter
\backslash
left( blah
\backslash
right)
\family default
).
\layout Standard
It is very easy to construct the braces you want to use.
Click on the brace you want on the left side with the left mouse button,
the right side with the right button, and place them in the document by
clicking on the button.
If you want one side to not have a bracket, use the blank button.
It will appear in LyX with a dotted line, but nothing will print.
\layout Standard
If you decide after the fact to place parentheses (or other math structure,
like a square root, or other decoration) around some math structure, you
can do that by highlighting (selecting) the structure that is to go inside
the parentheses (that is done by holding the
\family sans
Shift
\family default
key down and moving the cursor with the arrow keys, or selecting with the
mouse).
Then, choose the appropriate brackets for left and right, and click on
\family sans
Apply
\family default
.
The parentheses will be drawn around the selected structure.
\layout Standard
If you're trying to enter a LaTeX
\family typewriter
{
\family default
for grouping, you should read
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:Grouping}
\end_inset
.
\layout Section
Grouping
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:Grouping}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
You may need to group a set of symbols.
In LaTeX, for example, the typesetting of
\family typewriter
{x^y}^z
\family default
is different from
\family typewriter
x^{y^z}
\family default
:
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \[
{x^{y}}^{z}\quad\mathrm{differs\; from}\quad x^{{y^{z}}}\]
\end_inset
\layout Standard
However, trying to type the
\family typewriter
}
\family default
in LyX gives an actual closing brace in the output.
To create this grouping, you need to use the key sequence
\family typewriter
\backslash
{
\family default
then type space.
Inside LyX, you will see red braces indicating the grouping.
The example directly above shows how this works.

Arrays and Multi-line Equations
\layout Standard
Arrays, such as matrices, are easily entered in LyX.
In the
\family sans
Math\SpecialChar ~
Panel
\family default
there is a matrix button, which will open a dialog for you to choose the
number of rows/columns.
Here is an example:
\begin_inset Formula \[
\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & 3\\
4 & 5 & 6\\
7 & 8 & 9\end{array}\right).\]
\end_inset
The parentheses aren't automatic, but you can add them as usual.
Remember that you can add this after the fact, by highlighting the matrix
inside Mathed (Position the mouse on one side of the matrix, hold the
\family sans
Shift
\family default
key down, and hit the appropriate arrow key to move the cursor across the
matrix).
You can, when you construct the matrix, decide whether the columns (or
some of them) will be left-, right-, or center-justified.
The specification is
\family typewriter
ccc
\family default
by default.
Each letter corresponds to the relevant column.
For example,
\family typewriter
lcr
\family default
means that the first column will be left-justified, the second will be
centered, and the third column will be right-justified..
It will look like this:
\begin_inset Formula \[
\begin{array}{lcr}
this & this\, column & this\, column\\
column & has & has\, right\\
has\, left\, alignment & center\, alignment & alignment\end{array}.\]
\end_inset
\layout Standard
You can add more rows to an existing matrix by hitting
\family sans
C-Enter
\family default
while in the matrix, and you can add columns, or delete either, via the
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
M
\bar default
ath
\family default
menu.
\layout Standard
There are numerous other arrays used in LaTeX math-mode, particularly with
the AMS-LaTeX packages included, such as
\family typewriter
\backslash
cases
\family default
and commutative diagrams.
Not all of these are supported in LyX.
However, it is possible to build these structures from a matrix.
\layout Standard
Multi-line equations are very easy to construct in LyX.
A formula will automatically switch to an
\family typewriter
\series medium
eqnarray
\family default
\series default
format (LaTeX's multi-line displayed equation format) if you hit
\family sans
\series medium
C-E
\series default
nter
\family default
.
The best way to do this, if you decide you want a multi-line displayed
equation, is to insert a new line (with
\family sans
\series medium
C-Enter
\family default
\series default
) immediately.
Each line then has three regions, left, center, and right, which you can
move through using either the arrow keys, the mouse, or the
\family sans
\series medium
Tab
\family default
\series default
key.
Here is an example:
\begin_inset Formula \begin{eqnarray*}
3 & = & 1+2\\
4+5 & = & 9.\end{eqnarray*}
\end_inset
You can also turn an existing displayed formula into a multi-line formula
by hitting
\family sans
\series medium
C-Enter
\family default
\series default
while the cursor is anywhere on the original formula.
However, LyX will
\emph on
not
\emph default
try to decide where to break the formula up into three parts, but places
everything in the left side of the line.
To change the alignment points of the equation, place the cursor where
you want to start the middle part of the line, and hit
\family sans
C-Tab.
\family default
It then puts everything to the right of the cursor in the middle region
of the equation (which, by the way, is not typeset by LaTeX in display-math
size, so you should not put large expressions like fractions there).
Move to where you want the right side of the line to begin, and hit
\family sans
C-Tab
\family default
again.
The
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
extra
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
insertion points in the line will disappear.
\layout Section
Equation Numbering and Labels
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:math-label}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Equation numbering is very easy in LyX.
All it takes to change a displayed equation like:
\begin_inset Formula \[
1+2=3\]
\end_inset
into the numbered equation :
\begin_inset Formula \begin{equation}
1+2=3\label{mathed:first-eqn}\end{equation}
\end_inset
is to go to the
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert
\family default
menu, and select the
\family sans
\bar under
L
\bar default
abel...
\family default
option.
This opens a dialog in which you must enter some string as the label.
There is no need to call it by a specific number, since LaTeX will take
care of re-numbering the equation.
Labels will not appear as such on the final output.
LaTeX will insert appropriate numbers for the equations.
The labels are used internally for cross-referencing.
You can turn on numbering without a specific label with the menu option
\family sans
\bar under

dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under

umbering
\family default
while the cursor is in the equation, such as:
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \begin{equation}
1+1=2.\end{equation}
\end_inset
You can toggle it on or off with this menu item.
You can reference a labelled (not just numbered) equation, (cf.
(
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{mathed:first-eqn}
\end_inset
)) by using the
\family sans
Cross-Reference
\family default
dialog, which you open using
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
C
\bar default
ross-Reference...
\family default
\SpecialChar ~
.
\layout Standard
For numbered (or labelled) multi-line formulas, the default is that all
lines are numbered separately.
Once you attach a label to make the equation numbered, all subsequent lines
receive a label of #.
That label can be changed to another so that you can refer to that line,
like (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{mathed:third-eqn}
\end_inset
) below.
\begin_inset Formula \begin{eqnarray}
1 & = & 3-2\label{mathed:second-equation}\\
2 & = & 4-2\label{mathed:third-eqn}\\
4 & \leq & 7.\end{eqnarray}
\end_inset
You can turn off numbering of a specific line with
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
M
\bar default
ath\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Toggle\SpecialChar ~
\bar under

\bar default
umbering\SpecialChar ~

line
\family default
while the cursor is on that line of a multi-line numbered equation.
This also toggles.
For example :
\begin_inset Formula \begin{eqnarray}
1 & = & 4-3\label{mathed:fourth-eqn}\\
2 & = & 7-5\\
1 & = & e^{2\pi i}\nonumber \\
16 & \equiv & 2\,(mod\,7)\label{mathed:fifth-eqn}\end{eqnarray}
\end_inset
Note that the first equation in this set (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{mathed:fourth-eqn}
\end_inset
) is labelled, the next is numbered but unlabelled, the third is unnumbered,
and the last (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{mathed:fifth-eqn}
\end_inset
) is again labelled.
\layout Section
User defined macros in math mode
\layout Standard
LyX allows the user to define macros for use in math mode.
A macro definition box appears on screen as purple box with the name of
the macro in blue (math color).
It contains two cells initially marked empty by blue rectangles that can
be edited as if it were ordinary math.
Just try it:
\begin_inset FormulaMacro
\newcommand{\macro}{a+b}
\end_inset
The contents of the first cell will be used when the macro definition is
written during export as LaTeX.
The contents of the second cell, however, will be used for drawing the
macro's expansion on screen.
In the common case where both export and drawing use the same representation,
the second cell can be left empty and LyX will use the contents of the
first cell will be used for export and drawing automatically.
\layout Standard
Now, to use this macro in other math boxes just type the name in TeX mode,
in this case
\family typewriter
\backslash
macro
\family default
, and it will be automatically expanded:
\begin_inset Formula $c=\macro$
\end_inset
.
As you can verify, the cursor can't go inside the macro, the whole macro
is like a single character, and the TeX generated code of this expression
is
\family typewriter
c =
\backslash
macro.
\layout Standard
However the cursor could go inside of some kind of macros, those that have
\emph on
arguments
\emph default
.
In a macro definition box an argument looks like a
\family typewriter
#
\family default
followed by the argument number:
\begin_inset FormulaMacro
\newcommand{\macrowarg}[1]{2+\sqrt{#1}}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Once expanded, this macro includes the usual empty rectangle to indicate
that you can insert there whatever you want:
\family typewriter
\backslash
macrowarg =
\begin_inset Formula $\macrowarg{}$
\end_inset
\family default
.
Example:
\begin_inset Formula $b=\macrowarg{x-2}$
\end_inset
.
\layout Standard
When exported to LaTeX, a macro definition will produce the command
\newline
\family typewriter
\backslash
newcommand{

\backslash
sqrt{#1}}
\layout Subsection
How to create macros
\layout Standard
To create a macro definition box use this syntax in the minibuffer:
\begin_inset Foot

\layout Standard
Macro names mustn't contain numbers!
\end_inset

was created with
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
math-macro macrowarg 1
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\layout Standard
To insert an argument mark (only inside a macro definition box) simply type
\newline
\family typewriter
#<number>
\family default
or use
\family typewriter
math-macro-arg <number>
\layout Standard
The argument mark in
\family typewriter

macrowarg
\family default
was introduced with
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
math-macro-arg 1
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

\layout Standard
You can use no more than 9 arguments, numbered from 1 to 9.
An argument can be repeated inside the macro definition box, but of course
can be edited only once.

LaTeX's math mode does not support all characters in all fonts, and only
letters will be supported with these font styles; some only support capital
letters.
\layout Standard
For any of these fonts, you have to be careful how you enter the text.
If there is text to the right of the entry point, the font reverts to that
style after one character.
To be able to type a string in a particular font, make sure there is a
protected-space to the right of the cursor.
Also, entering a protected-space will revert subsequent text to standard
font.
The font styles are nestable, as LaTeX does.
This can be a little confusing, as selecting a different font on a selection
will
\emph on
not
\emph default
change the selection, but insert a new nested level with the new typeface.
\layout Standard
It is possible (in AMS-LaTeX) to embolden (not italicize) numbers and special
symbols.
However, LyX does not yet support this in WYSIWYM manner\SpecialChar \@.
It will print
correctly, though.
To get emboldened symbols, for example a bold
\begin_inset Formula $\alpha$
\end_inset
, enter
\family typewriter
\backslash
boldsymbol{
\backslash
alpha}
\family default
in Mathed.
The closing brace appears (in red) automatically when you type the opening
brace.
This works for all symbols, as well as numbers.
\layout Standard
A number of other options are available as well, via

Math Text Mode
\layout Standard
Typefaces are useful for entering variable names in some given font, but
certainly not for anything else, and in particular not text.
For typing longer pieces of text, use math text mode, which is obtained
by typing
\family sans
M-m m
\family default
while already in math mode.
(The same command will get out of math text mode, too.) Math text mode appears
on the screen in black instead of blue.
You cannot enter punctuation or font changes in your text
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
Moreover, math text mode outputs its contents inside a
\family typewriter
\backslash
textrm{}
\family default
, whereas and
\family typewriter
\backslash
mbox
\family default
(or AMS-LaTeX's
\backslash
\family typewriter
text
\family default
) might have been a better choice
\end_inset
, but it works for simple text.
Here's an example:
\begin_inset Formula \[
f(x)=\begin{array}{cc}
x & \textrm{if I say so}\\
-x & \textrm{otherwise}\end{array}\]
\end_inset
\layout Subsection
Font Sizes
\layout Standard
There are four (relative) font sizes (or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
styles
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
) used in math-mode, which are automatically chosen in most situations.
These are called
\emph on
textstyle
\emph default
,
\emph on
displaystyle
\emph default
,
\emph on
scriptstyle
\emph default
, and
\emph on
scriptscriptstyle
\emph default
.
For most characters,
\emph on
textstyle
\emph default
and
\emph on
displaystyle
\emph default
are actually the same size, but fractions, superscripts and subscripts,
and certain other effects, are set larger or placed differently in
\emph on
displaystyle
\emph default
.
Except for some operators, which re-size themselves to accommodate various
situations, all text will be set in these various sizes as LaTeX thinks
is appropriate.
These choices can be over-ridden by using the
\family typewriter
math-size
\family default
function in the minibuffer.
For example, you can set
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{1}{2}$
\end_inset
normally (
\emph on
textstyle
\emph default
), or you can make it larger, which also changes the line-spacing, by entering
\family typewriter
math-size displaystyle
\family default
in the minibuffer while the cursor is in the main line of the math-inset,
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}$
\end_inset
.
Careful, though, if the cursor is on the denominator of that fraction,
only the numerator will be enlarged, e.g.
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{1}{2}$
\end_inset
! This reflects a LaTeX
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
unintended feature
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
That is, a bug.
\end_inset
, not a LyX one.
These font-size changes are not as apparent in LyX as they are in the output.
Here are some text in the various styles:
\begin_inset Formula $displaystyle$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula ${\textstyle textstyle}$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula ${\scriptstyle scriptstyle}$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula ${\scriptscriptstyle scriptscriptstyle}$
\end_inset
.
\layout Standard
All these math-mode font sizes are relative, that is, if the whole math
inset and surrounding text are set in a particular size, all these sizes
will be adjusted.
Similarly, if the base font size of the document is changed, all fonts
will be adjusted to correspond.

fonts commonly used to denote the real or complex numbers, or the integers.
Once activated, all AMS-LaTeX symbols and environments are available.
You will run into trouble if you include these packages from the preamble,

Properly speaking, it is one half of a cross-reference.
The other half is the

Again, those of you reading the manual online will see a gray box with
text in it.
Those reading printed versions, however, will see a number --- in this
case, the number of this section.
There are also other varieties of cross-reference: for example,
\begin_inset LatexCommand \pageref{sec:crossref}
\end_inset
.
This is the page number containing the location of the label.
That's what cross-references do: they let you reference other parts of
your document.
You don't need to remember which section number was what anymore --- LyX
will do that for you! All you need to do is use a

They always print the number of the section heading closest to them.
So --- if you want to put a label on a
\family sans
Chapter
\family default
, but a
\family sans
Section
\family default
heading immediately follows it, you need to put the
\family sans
Label
\family default
\emph on
into
\emph default
the
\family sans
Chapter
\family default
environment.
It doesn't matter where, and it will look weird on the LyX screen.
However, you need to do this if you want to label the
\family sans
Chapter
\family default
separately from the
\family sans
Section
\family default
.
The same goes for all other section headings.
\layout Standard
Also, a
\family sans
Label
\family default
\emph on
only
\emph default
makes sense in
\emph on
numbered
\emph default
section headings and table and figure floats.
Bare figures and tables aren't numbered, so, like unnumbered section headings,
you can't really use a
\family sans
Label
\family default
on it.
\begin_inset Foot

\layout Standard
Well, you

The regular

\family default
--- the one that refers to a section/table/figure number --- won't work,
because there's no numbered thingy to refer to! You could also use bare

Once again, the regular

It will refer to something, but that something will typically be the number
of the previous numbered section heading.

URLs (Uniform Resource Locators)
\layout Standard
It is often desirable to include long
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
verbatim
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
items in a document such as Web site URLs, e-mail addresses, etc.; these
things typically do not contain any spaces and are thus difficult to typeset
properly.
Such items will often fall on a line boundary if they cannot be split,
resulting in an overfull or underfull line depending on the circumstances.
You can use
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
U
\bar default
RL
\family default
within LyX to enter a long URL and have it split gracefully (if necessary)
along automatically determined boundaries.
\layout Standard
At the point in the document where you want to enter the URL (or other address-l
ike entity) simply select
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
U
\bar default
RL
\family default
; a dialog will appear where you can enter the full URL (in the
\family sans
\bar under
U
\bar default
rl:
\family default
field).
In its simplest usage, that's all you need to do.
Click on the following gray box to see how LyX's homepage would be entered:

\layout Standard
Short Titles
\end_inset
\layout Standard
Some section or chapter titles, such as this one, can get quite long.
This can cause over-runs when there is limited horizontal space.
For example, if the header of the page is set to show the current section
title, a long title will over-run past the edges, and look awful.
\layout Standard
LaTeX allows you to specify an optional argument to the section commands
that specifies a shorter version of the title
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed true
\layout Standard
For those who don't know LaTeX, commands look like this:
\family typewriter
\backslash
command[optionalargument]{the content}
\end_inset
.
This shorter version is used in the header and in the actual Table of Contents,
avoiding the problem mentioned.
LyX allows you to specify this optional argument by selecting
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Short\SpecialChar ~
Title
\family default
.
This will insert a box (labelled
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, which stands for
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
optional
\begin_inset Quotes erd

) which you can use to enter the short title text.
This also works for captions inside floats.
\layout Standard
The title of this section is a good example of using this feature.
\layout Section
Previewing snippets of your document
\layout Standard
LyX allows you to generate previews of sections of your document on the

This latter is useful if you wish to generate a preview of a LaTeX figure,
for example.
Coming in version 1.4 are previews of the external inset also.
\layout Standard
To get previews working, you'll need some additional software.
First, you'll need the preview.sty LaTeX package.
Find it on your local CTAN mirror at

Extra Horizontal Space
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:hspace}

\layout Standard
\family sans
HFill
\family default
s are a special LyX feature for adding extra space in a uniform fashion.
An
\family sans
HFill
\family default
is actually a variable length space, whose length always equals the remaining
space between the left and right margins.
If there is more than one
\family sans
HFill
\family default
on a line, they divide the available space equally between themselves.
\layout Standard
Note: if an
\family sans
HFill
\family default
is at the beginning of a line, and it's
\emph on
not
\emph default
the first line in a paragraph, LyX ignores it.
This prevents
\family sans

\end_inset
situations, like two-column mode.
\layout Subsection
Extra Vertical Space
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:vertspace}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
To add extra vertical space above or below a paragraph, use
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
P
\bar default
aragraph\SpecialChar ~
Settings
\family default
to open the
\family sans
Paragraph\SpecialChar ~
Settings
\family default
dialog.
\layout Standard
We will not provide an example of a
\family sans
VFill
\family default
, as it would waste paper.
They work the same as any other type of filler, including
\family sans
HFill
\family default
s: they fill the remaining vertical space on a page with blank space.
If there are several
\family sans
VFill
\family default
s on a page, they divide the remaining vertical space equally between themselves.
You can therefore use
\family sans
VFill
\family default
s to center text on a page, or even place text 2/3 down a page, or 1/4,
and so on.
\layout Standard
Note that for paragraphs at the top/bottom of a page, the extra space is
only added if you have also checked the option
\family sans

Changing Paragraph Alignment

You can also change the paragraph alignment with the
\family sans

\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under

\bar default
aragraph\SpecialChar ~

\layout Standard
The default in most cases is justified alignment, in which the inter-word
spacing is variable and each line of a paragraph fills the region between
the left and right margins.
The other three alignments should be self-explanatory, and look like this:
\layout Standard
\align right
This paragraph is right aligned,
\layout Standard
\align center
this one is centered,
\layout Standard
\align left
this one is left aligned.
\layout Standard
In some paragraph environments, the default is something other than justified
alignment.
\layout Subsection
Forcing Page Breaks
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:pagebreak}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
If you don't like the way LaTeX does the page breaks in your document, you
can force a pagebreak where you want one.
In general, this will
\emph on
not
\emph default
be necessary because LaTeX is good at pagebreaking, as was already mentioned
in section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:widows}
\end_inset
.
\layout Standard
So in general there is no need to use the option described below, and we
recommend not using it until the text is
\emph on
\emph default
finished, and until you have checked in the preview to see if you
\emph on
really
\emph default
have to change the pagebreaking.You can force a pagebreak above or below
a paragraph in the
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
dit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
P
\bar default
aragraph\SpecialChar ~
Settings
\family default
dialog by selecting the checkboxes to add a pagebreak above or below the
paragraph.
\layout Standard
You might try to use a pagebreak to ensure that a figure or table appears
at the top of a page.
This is, of course, the wrong way to do it.
LyX gives you a way of automatically ensuring that your figures and tables
appear at the top of a page [or the bottom, or on their own page] without
having to worry about what precedes or follows your figure or table.
See sections
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:figures}

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:tables}
\end_inset

Protected blanks
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:protblank-lbreak-horline}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
The protected blank: It is used to tell LyX (and LaTeX) not to break the
line at that point.
This may be necessary to avoid unlucky linebreaks, like in:
\layout Quote
A good documentation should weight no more than 1
\newline
kg.
\layout Standard
Obviously, it would be a good thing to put a protected blank between
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
1
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
kg
\begin_inset Quotes erd

Character\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under

\family default
or with
\family sans
C-Return.
\family default
You should, however, not use this to correct LaTeX's linebreaking, as LaTeX
is
\emph on
very
\emph default
good at linebreaking\SpecialChar \ldots{}
(see section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:pagebreak}
\end_inset
).
There are, however, a number of situations where it is necessary to actively
set a linebreak, e.g.
in a poem or for an Address (see sections
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:quote}
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:verse}
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:adress_usage}
\end_inset
).
\layout Section
Spellchecking
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:spellchecking}
\end_inset
\layout Standard
LyX itself has no built-in spell checker.
Rather it uses the external
\family typewriter
ispell
\family default
program as a backend or the newer and generally better
\family typewriter
aspell
\family default
.
This section assumes you have already installed and set up one of these
programs.
\layout Standard
The spellchecker can be started with the menu entry
\family sans
\bar under
T
\bar default
ools
\bar under
\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\shape up
S
\bar default
pellchecker
\family default
\shape default
.
Checking will start just after the current cursor position.
A dialog window will appear showing any incorrect (or unknown) word found,
allowing you to edit and replace it in a second line.
Whenever an unknown word is found, the word is highlighted and the view
in your text buffer is updated to make the word visible.
In the
\family sans
Spellchecker
\family default
dialog, there is also a box showing suggestions for a correction, if any
could be found.
Clicking on one of the corrections will copy the near miss into the replace
input field (double-click to invoke replace).
\layout Subsection
Spellchecker Options
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:spell_opt}

\layout Subsubsection
Dictionary
\layout Standard
By default, the dictionary file to use is determined by the language of
the text you're checking, which is set in the
\family sans
\shape up
\shape default
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
S
\bar default
ettings
\family default
dialog.
If you do not have a dictionary for the document language, the spellchecker
will not work.
In this case, you can specify another dictionary file in the dialog by
specifying a different
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
alternative language
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\layout Standard
If you're using
\family typewriter
ispell
\family default
, you may need to make a link from say
\family typewriter
deutsch.(aff|hash)
\family default
to
\family typewriter
german.(aff|hash)
\family default
or whatever applies for your language.
This is because these
\family typewriter
ispell
\family default
files normally have the native language name (
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
deutsch
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
) whereas
\family typewriter
ispell
\family default
, when started from LyX, searches for the English version of the name used
with the LaTeX babel package (
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
german
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
).
\layout Standard
You may also have problems the font encoding is not correct for that dictionary.
If you use a language with
\family typewriter
latin1
\family default
encoding and set the
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
ncoding
\family default
option in the
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
S
\bar default
ettings
\family default
dialog to
\family sans
latin1
\family default
(or other than
\family sans
default
\family default
), you must have this option in your language dictionary as well.
If your dictionary doesn't support the
\family sans
Encoding
\family default
you chose, you'll have an error like this on stderr:
\layout Standard
\family typewriter
ispell: unrecognized formatter type 'latin1'
\layout Standard
The spellchecker gives you an error that it couldn't start the
\family typewriter
ispell
\family default
process and that you probably have some problems with your dictionary file.
\layout Standard
There are four solutions to this problem.
The easiest is to try the
\family sans
Use\SpecialChar ~
Input\SpecialChar ~
Encoding
\family default
option.
If that does not help, you can set
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
ncoding
\family default
to
\family sans
default
\family default
when calling the spellchecker (which is probably annoying).
The third is to add the
\family typewriter
latin1
\family default
option to your dictionary
\family typewriter
\emph on
<
\family default
language
\family typewriter
>
\emph default
.aff
\family default
file and recompile the dictionary (which probably isn't easy if you installed
the whole stuff with some distribution and don't have the language directory
of the
\family typewriter
ispell
\family default
sources).
Read the
\family typewriter
ispell
\family default
documentation for this task! The fourth is to send a message to your package-ma
intainer, or better yet to the maintainer of the dictionary file in question
and ask him to solve your problem.
\layout Subsubsection
Personal dictionary
\layout Standard
If you want to use a different file from the spellchecker's default choice
as your personal dictionary, you can set this in the dialog.
Specifying a filename which does not already exist will result in an error
message on stderr which you can ignore (
\family typewriter
ispell
\family default
will create the file at the end of your spell checking).
\layout Subsubsection
Further Options
\layout Standard
The
\family sans

\layout Itemize
\family sans

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\layout Itemize
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
scape characters
\family default
\newline
Allows you to add nonstandard characters to what the spellchecker considers
words, e.g.
German umlauts.
This should not normally be needed.
\layout Subsection
Limitations
\layout Standard
Some users have expressed a wish to be able to globally change the spelling
of a particular word, rather than having to change the spelling separately
for each occurrence of the word.
Per-document word lists would also be useful.
Neither of these features are present as of this writing.
\layout Standard
Unless you're using the
\family typewriter
pspell
\family default
spellchecker, LyX cannot correctly spellcheck documents containing multiple
languages.
This, does, however, work with
\family typewriter
pspell
\family default
, assuming you have marked the different languages appropriately.
\layout Section
International Support
\layout Standard
This section describes how to use LyX with any language you want.
LyX comes with a default configuration which supports the English language
on a U.S.-style keyboard, with a standard U.S.
paper size and the spell checker set to U.S.
English.
You can change any or all of these settings as desired, and you can make
the changes apply to the current session only, or use them as your new
default configuration.
\layout Standard
If you have a keyboard suited to the language you are using (for example,
a German keyboard for writing in German), and you have correctly configured
your X environment, all you need to do for LyX is tell it your language,
the character encoding, and desired paper size.
Refer to
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:langlay}
\end_inset
for more information.
\layout Standard
If, however, you have a U.S.-style keyboard and want to write in a different
language than English, you can use an alternate keymap.
For example, if you have a U.S.-style keyboard but want to write in Italian,
you can configure LyX to use an Italian keymap.
Refer to
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:optkey}
\end_inset
for details.
\layout Standard
Finally, you may just want to change a few key mappings or create an entirely
different keymap (for Vulcan, for instance).
You may, for example, normally write in Italian on a U.S.
keyboard but want to include an occasional quotation in German.
In such a case, you can write your own keyboard mapping or modify an existing
one to support the characters you want.
\layout Standard
The details of how to customize LyX to your own language are
\emph on
way
\emph default
beyond the scope of this manual.
You can not only alter the keyboard layout, you can also change the names
of the menus buttons, etc., to reflect your language.
If you want to learn more about writing keymap files and tailoring LyX
to your native tongue, please see the

There are a few things you need to know about this table.
This manual is set up --- by hand, mind you --- to print all of these character
s.
That ain't the default.
Nowhere near, in fact.
Here are some of the details you'll need to bear in mind when using characters
from the
\family typewriter
Latin1
\family default
character set:
\layout Itemize
The characters at entries A2, A4, A5, A6 and AD -- the cent, the yen, the
generic-currency-symbol, the broken vertical bar and the short dash are
just plain missing in the default encodings.
We don't know where they are or why this is the case.

\family typewriter

\family default
-fonts for LaTeX [or who have the
\family typewriter

\family default
-fonts but aren't using them] will still miss a few characters: D0, F0,
DE, FE, AB, and BB -- the uppercase and lowercase eth and thorn, and the
french quotes won't show up.
\layout Itemize
Users of
\family typewriter
T1
\family default
-fonts can, however, get the french quotes [characters AB and BB] if they
include the either the package

This only holds when you want to input these quotes by yourself.
The automatic quote feature described in Section

The characters of the following table, which are inserted as commands, could
not be inserted directly with the keyboard, because the standard encoding

To let LaTeX understand the commands, the package
