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 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset pt type, left justified, 5 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset 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. \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Section How LyX Looks \end_layout \begin_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 , 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. \end_layout \begin_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. 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard For a brief description of all LyX menus and toolbar buttons, have a look at Appendix \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "cha:The-User-Interface" \end_inset . Most of them are self-explanatory and you'll find them listed in the correspond ing sections of this documentation. \end_layout \begin_layout Section HELP \end_layout \begin_layout Standard 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 Help \family default menu. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Basic LyX Setup \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Basic-LyX-Setup" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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 sans Preferences \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Preferences \end_layout \end_inset \family default settings. Although this configuration has already been done when LyX was installed on your system, you might have some items that you installed locally, e.g. new LaTeX classes, and which are not seen by LyX. To force LyX to re-inspect your system, you should use \family sans Tools\SpecialChar \menuseparator Reconfigure \family default . \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Reconfiguration of LyX \end_layout \end_inset You should then restart LyX to ensure that the changes are taken into account. \end_layout \begin_layout Section LaTeX Setup \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:LaTeX-Setup" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX needs several LaTeX packages to work properly. The packages found on the system by LyX are listed in the file \emph on LaT \emph default \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout {} \end_layout \end_inset \emph on eX \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Configuration \emph default that will be created when using the menu \family sans Help\SpecialChar \menuseparator LaT \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout {} \end_layout \end_inset eX \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Configuration \family default . You should install the required missing packages and then reconfigure LyX. \begin_inset Note Note status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout The two braces in the TeX Code box prevent that the term \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset LaTeX \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset is printed with sub- and superscript letters. More about TeX Code is described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:TeX-Code" \end_inset , the printout of proper names like LaTeX is explained in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:LyX's-Proper-Names" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Reconfiguration of LyX \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Chapter How to work with LyX \end_layout \begin_layout Section Basic File Operations \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout File Operations \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Under the \family sans File \family default menu and in the standard toolbar are basic operations for any word processor in addition to some more advanced operations: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans New \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/buffer-new.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans New \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset from \bar under \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \bar default Template \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Open \family default \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/file-open.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Close \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Save \family default \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/buffer-write.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Save \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset As \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Revert \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset to \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset saved \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Version \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Control \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Import \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Export \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Print \family default \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/dialog-show_print.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 24bp 20bp \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Exit \end_layout \begin_layout Standard They all do pretty much the same thing as in other word processors, with a few minor differences. The \family sans File\SpecialChar \menuseparator New \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset from \bar under \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \bar default Template \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 section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Document-Classes" \end_inset ). \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family sans Revert \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset to \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset saved \family default and \family sans Version \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Control \family default are useful if more people work on the same document at the same time \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout 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_layout \end_inset . \family sans Revert \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset to \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset saved \family default will 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. With \family sans Version \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Control \family default you can there register the changes you made to a document so that others can identify this as your changes. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Basic Editing Features \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Editing \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Basic-Editing-Features" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Like most modern word processors, LyX can perform cut and paste operations on blocks of text, can move by character, word, or page 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As you might expect, the \family sans Edit \family default menu and the standard toolbar 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: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Cut \family default \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/cut.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Copy \family default \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/copy.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Paste \family default \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/paste.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Paste \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Recent \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Paste \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Special \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Find \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset & \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Replace \family default \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/dialog-show_findreplace.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 25bp rotateOrigin center \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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 completel y delete the selected text and replace it with what you just typed. You'll have to do an \family sans Undo \family default to get back the lost text. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Paste \end_layout \end_inset You can also copy text between LyX and other programs by cut, copy and paste. The submenu of \family sans Paste \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Recent \family default shows you a list with the last strings you have pasted. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The menu \family sans Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Paste \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Special\SpecialChar \menuseparator Plain \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Text, Join \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Lines \family default will insert the text in the clipboard so that the whole text is inserted as \emph on one \emph default paragraph. A new paragraph is started when there is a blank line in the file. Without \family sans Join \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Lines \family default , the text is inserted as Paragraphs, where the line breaks of the text will start a new paragraph. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Replace \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Find \end_layout \end_inset The \family sans Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Find \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset & \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Replace \family default item opens the \family sans Find \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset and \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Replace \family default dialog. Once you've found a word or expression, LyX selects it. Hitting the \family sans Replace \family default button replaces the selected text with the contents of the \family sans Replace \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset with \family default field. You can click the \family sans Find \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Next \family default button to skip the current word. Hit \family sans Replace \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset All \family default to replace all occurrences of the text in the document automatically. The \family sans Case \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset sensitive \family default option 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 Test \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset will not match the word \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter test \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . The \family sans Match whole words only \family default option can be used to force LyX to only find complete words. I.e., searching for \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter star \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset will not match \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter starlet \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Things like notes, floats, etc., the so called insets can be dissolved. This means that the inset is deleted and its content is left as normal text. Dissolving an inset is done by setting the cursor to the beginning of an inset and pressing \family sans Backspace \family default or by setting the cursor to the end and pressing \family sans Delete \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Section Undo and Redo \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Redo \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Undo \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Undo-and-Redo" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you make a mistake, you can easily recover from it. LyX has a large-capacity undo/redo buffer. Select \family sans Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Undo \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/undo.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset to undo some mistake. If you accidentally undo too much, use \family sans Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Redo \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/redo.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset to \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset undo the undo. \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset The undo mechanism is currently limited to 100 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset steps to minimize memory overhead. \end_layout \begin_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 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset step undo limit, above. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family sans Undo \family default and \family sans Redo \family default work on almost everything in LyX. But they won't undo or redo text character by character, but by blocks of text. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Mouse Operations \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Mouse Operations \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This are the most basic mouse operations. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Motion \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_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_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate Selecting Text \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_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 Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Copy \family default to create a copy of the text in LyX's buffer (and the clipboard). \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Re-position the cursor and then paste the text back into LyX using \family sans Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Paste \family default . \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate Insets (Footnotes, Notes, Floats, etc.) \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Standard \emph on Single click \emph default the left mouse button to open or close any of these. Right-click on them to set its properties. Also check the appropriate section of this manual for more details. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate Tables \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Standard \emph on Single click \emph default the right mouse button to open a dialog that will allow you to manipulate the table. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Section Navigating \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Navigating" \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Navigating \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX offers you two ways to navigate in documents: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize The menu \family sans Navigate \family default lists all sections of the document as submenu entries that you can click to jump to the corresponding document part. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize The menu \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Outline \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/dialog-toggle_toc.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The outline window shows you the content of the document's table of contents (TOC) that is described in sec. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Table-of-Contents" \end_inset . You can click there on entries to jump to the corresponding document part. In the pull-down box at the top of the outline window, you can choose between different lists of document objects, like the list of footnotes. Some of them, the list of tables, figures, and algorithms can also be added to the document, see \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:List-of-Figures" \end_inset . The \family sans Sort \family default option sorts the current list, and the \family sans Keep \family default option keeps it in the current view state. Keeping means that when you have e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g. \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset the subsections of section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 2 and 4 shown and click on section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 3, the subsections of section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 2 and 4 will still be shown. Without the \family sans Keep \family default option they will be hidden to highlight the clicked section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 3. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard With the buttons \begin_inset space \space{} \end_inset \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/down.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset \begin_inset space \hspace{} \length -3mm \end_inset and \begin_inset space \space{} \end_inset \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/up.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset \begin_inset space \hspace{} \length -3mm \end_inset at the bottom of the outline window you can change the position of sections in your document. So you can for example move section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 2.5 before section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 2.4. LyX will then automatically renumber the sections to the new order. With the buttons \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/promote.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset and \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/demote.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset or the corresponding key bindings \family sans Tab \family default and \family sans S-Tab \family default you can change the sectioning level of sections. So you can for example make section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 2.5 to chapter \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 3 or to subsection \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 2.4.1. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Basic Key Bindings \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Key Bindings \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Bindings|see \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset Key Bindings \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Shortcuts|see \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset Key Bindings \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are at least two different primary binding maps: CUA and Emacs. LyX's default is CUA. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Some keys, like \family sans Page \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Up \family default , \family sans Page \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 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: \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Tab \begin_inset CommandInset nomenclature LatexCommand nomenclature symbol "Tab" description "Tabulator key" \end_inset \family default There is no such thing as a tab stop in LyX. If you don't understand this, go read sections \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Par-indent-intro" \end_inset and \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Paragraph-Environments" \end_inset , especially section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Lists" \end_inset , right now. Yes, right now. If you're still confused, look in the \emph on Tutorial \emph default . \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Esc \begin_inset CommandInset nomenclature LatexCommand nomenclature symbol "Esc" description "Escape key" \end_inset \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. \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Home \family default \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset and \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are three modifier keys: \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Control \family default (Denoted by \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans C \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset nomenclature LatexCommand nomenclature symbol "C" description "Control key" \end_inset in the documentation files) This has a couple of different uses, depending on which keys it's used in combination with: \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize With \family sans Backspace \family default or \family sans Delete \family default , it deletes an entire word instead of a single character. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize With \family sans Left \family default and \family sans Right \family default , it moves by words instead of characters. \end_layout \begin_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_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Shift \family default (Denoted by \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans S \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset nomenclature LatexCommand nomenclature symbol "S" description "Shift key" \end_inset in the documentation files) Use this with any of the motion keys to select the text between the old and new cursor positions. \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Meta \family default (Denoted by \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans M \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset nomenclature LatexCommand nomenclature symbol "M" description "Meta or Alt key" \end_inset in the documentation files) This is the Alt key on many keyboards, unless your keyboard has a distinct Meta key. If you have both keys, you will need to try out which one actually performs the \family sans Meta- \family default function.

Different types of documents use different types of spacing, headings, numbering schemes, and so on. Additionally, different documents use different paragraph environments, and format the title of your document differently. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A \emph on document class \emph default describes a group of properties common to a particular set of documents. By setting the document class, you automatically select these properties, making it easier to create the type of document you want. 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Read on for info about the document classes you can choose from LyX, and how to adjust their properties. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Document Classes \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Document !

They are: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Article for basic articles \end_layout \begin_layout Description Report for basic reports \end_layout \begin_layout Description Book for writing a book \end_layout \begin_layout Description Letter for US-style letters \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are also some non-standard classes, which LyX only uses if you have installed them. Here are some of the classes, the full list with detailed explanations can be found in chapter \emph on Special Document Classes \emph default in the \emph on Extended Features \emph default manual: \end_layout \begin_layout Description A&A Journal articles in the style and format used in Astronomy & Astrophysics \end_layout \begin_layout Description AAST \family sans \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout {} \end_layout \end_inset \family default eX For submissions to the journals published by the American Astronomical Society \end_layout \begin_layout Description AMS Layouts for articles and books in the style and format used by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). There are three article layouts available. The standard one uses a typical numbering scheme for theorems etc., 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Description Beamer Layout for presentations \end_layout \begin_layout Description broadway Layout for writing plays.

There are several paragraph environments used to create section headings. Different document classes allow different types of section headings. Only two use the \family sans Chapter \family default heading; the rest do not and begin instead with the \family sans Section \family default heading. Some document classes, such as the ones for letters, don't use any section headings. In addition to \family sans Chapter \family default and \family sans Section \family default headings, there are also \family sans Subsection \family default headings, \family sans Subsubsection \family default headings, and so on. We'll describe these headings fully in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Headings" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Document Layout \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Document !

That includes the paragraph environments. Some paragraph environments are standard; all of the document classes have them; but some classes have special paragraph environments. If this is the case, and you change the document class, 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Paragraph Indentation and Separation \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Paragraph ! Indentation \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Introduction \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Par-indent-intro" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Before describing all of the various paragraph environments, we'd like to say a word or two about paragraph indentation. \end_layout \begin_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. If you choose indentation for paragraphs 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 indented. Only a paragraph following another paragraph gets indented. Note that the indentation behavior is different when you use another document language than English. LaTeX takes care that the indentation follows the rules of the used language. \end_layout \begin_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 status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout LaTeX does this when LyX goes to produce a printable file. \end_layout \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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Paragraph Separation \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Paragraph ! Separation \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To separate paragraphs, select \family sans Indent \family default or \family sans Skip \family default in the submenu \family sans Text \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Layout \family default of the dialog \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Document ! Settings \end_layout \end_inset \family default to indent paragraphs or add extra space between paragraphs, respectively. The size of the skips can be defined in the dialog, for the indentation you have to add this line to your document preamble: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash setlength{ \backslash parindent}{Length} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard where length is a value in one of the units listed in Appendix \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "cap:Units" \end_inset . The default length is 30 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset pt. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Fine-Tuning \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can also change the separation method of a single paragraph. Open the \family sans Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Paragraph \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Settings \family default dialog and toggle the \family sans Indent \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Paragraph \family default option to change the state of the current paragraph. If paragraphs have no indentation but use extra space for separation, this button will be ignored (you can't indent a single paragraph by toggling this). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You should only need to change the indentation method for a single paragraph if you need to do some fine-tuning. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Line Spacing \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Paragraph !

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. \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To choose a new paragraph environment, use the pull-down box \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/ToolbarEnvBox.png scale 70 clip \end_inset at 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. \end_layout \begin_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 if you are in one of these environments: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Quote \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Quotation \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Verse \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Itemize \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Enumerate \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Description \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans List \end_layout \begin_layout Standard 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. Usually, starting a new paragraph resets both the paragraph environment and the nesting depth (for more on nesting see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Nesting" \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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Standard \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Document Title \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Document !Title \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_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: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Put the title of your document in the \family sans Title \family default environment. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Put the author name in the \family sans Author \family default environment. \end_layout \begin_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. If you don't want any date, add the line \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \series bold \backslash date{} \series default \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset to the preamble of your document (menu \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings \family default ) \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can use footnotes to insert \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset thanks \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset or contact informations. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Headings \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Section headings \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Headings" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are several paragraph environments for producing section headings.

Numbered \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are 7 numbered types of section headings. They are: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Part \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Chapter \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Section \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Subsection \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Subsubsection \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Paragraph \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Subparagraph \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX labels each heading with a series of numbers, separated by periods. The numbers describe where in the document you are. Unlike the other headings, parts are numbered with Latin letters. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard 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: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Part \family default is divided in either \family sans Chapter \family default or \family sans Section \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Chapter \family default s are divided into \family sans Section \family default s \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Section \family default s are divided into \family sans Subsection \family default s \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Subsection \family default s are divided into \family sans Subsubsection \family default s \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Subsubsection \family default s are divided into \family sans Paragraph \family default s \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Paragraph \family default s are divided into \family sans Subparagraph \family default s \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold Note: \series 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. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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 . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Unnumbered Headings \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Section headings ! Unnumbered \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are 5 types of unnumbered section headings. They are: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Part*line spacing \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Chapter* \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Section* \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Subsection* \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \family sans Subsubsection* \end_layout \begin_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 but won't appear in the table of contents, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:toc" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Changing the Numbering \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Numbering-depth" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Open the \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings \family default dialog. \family sans \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Document ! Settings \end_layout \end_inset \family default Under \family sans Numbering \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset & \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset TOC \family default you'll see two counters. The one named \family sans Numbering \family default controls how far down in the sectioning hierarchy LyX numbers a section heading. The other one controls the appearance of the section headings in the table of contents. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Short Titles of Headings \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Section headings ! Short titles \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset OptArg status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Short Titles \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Short-Titles" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Some section or chapter titles, such as this one, can get quite long. This can cause troubles 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 protrude over the page margins and look awful. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LaTeX allows you to specify a short title for section headings. This short title is used in the header and in the actual table of contents, avoiding the problem mentioned. To specify a short title, use the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Short \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Title \family default . This will insert a box labeled \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset opt \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (stands for \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset optional \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) which you can use to enter the short title text. This also works for captions inside floats. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The title of this section is a good example of using this feature. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Special Information \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The following information applies to all section headings: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize You cannot do any nesting with these environments. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize You cannot use a margin note in any of these environments. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize You can only use inline math in these environments. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize You can use labels and cross-references to refer to their numbers. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Quotes and Poetry line spacing \end_layout \begin_layout Standard 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 line spacing 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. \end_layout \begin_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 Standard \family default environment yourself. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection \family sans Quote \family default and \family sans Quotation \family default \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Quote" \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Quotation \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here's an example of the \family sans Quote \family default environment: \end_layout \begin_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! \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here's another example, this time in the \family sans Quotation \family default environment: \end_layout \begin_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 \emph on if \emph default you were quoting other text. \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As the examples show, \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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection \family sans Verse \family default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Paragraph !

Here's an example: \end_layout \begin_layout Verse This is in Verse \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Which I did not rehearse! \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Verse To break a line \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset And make things look fine \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Use \family sans C-Return \family default . \end_layout \begin_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 . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Lists \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Lists \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Lists" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection General Features \end_layout \begin_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 hereby kept. If you want to keep the paragraph environment but reset the current nesting depth, you can use \family sans M-Return \family default to break paragraphs. \end_layout \begin_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 it is nested. If you intend to use any of the list paragraph environments, we suggest you read all of section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Nesting" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection \family sans Itemize \family default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Lists ! Itemize \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Itemize" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Each item has a particular bullet or symbol as its label. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize LyX uses the same symbol for all of the items in a given nesting level. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize The symbol appears at the beginning of the first line. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Itemize The items can have 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. \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize There are four different symbols for up to a four-fold nesting. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize LyX always shows the same symbol on screen. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize See section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Nesting" \end_inset for a full explanation of nesting. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_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 within LyX won't see any difference. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize The label for the first level \family sans Itemize \family default is a large black dot, or bullet. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize The label for the second level is a dash. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize The label for the third is an asterisk. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize The label for the fourth is a centered dot. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Back out to the third level. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Back to the second level. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Back to the outermost level. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard These are the default labels for an \family sans Itemize \family default list. You can customize these labels in the \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings \family default dialog in the submenu \family sans Bullets \family default . \family sans \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Document ! Settings \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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 space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Nesting" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection \family sans Enumerate \family default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Lists ! Enumerate \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Enumerate" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \family sans Enumerate \family default environment is used to create numbered lists and outlines. It has these properties: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Each item has a numeral as its label. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate The type of numeral depends on the nesting depth. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate LyX automatically counts the items for you and updates the label as appropriate. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Each new \family sans Enumerate \family default environment resets the counter to one. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Like the \family sans Itemize \family default environment, the \family sans Enumerate \family default environment: \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate Offsets the items relative to the left margin. Items can have any length. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Reduces the space between items as the nesting depth increases. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Uses different types of labels depending on the nesting depth. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Allows up to a four-fold nesting. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Standard Unlike the \family sans Itemize \family default environment, \family sans Enumerate \family default shows the different labels for each item in LyX. Here is how LyX labels the four different levels in an \family sans Enumerate \family default : \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate The first level of an \family sans Enumerate \family default uses Arabic numerals followed by a period. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate The second level uses lower case letters surrounded by parentheses. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate The third level uses lower-case Roman numerals followed by a period. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate The fourth level uses capital letters followed by a period. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Again, notice the decrease in the spacing between items as the nesting depth increases. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate Back to the third level \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate Back to the second level. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate Back to the outermost level. \end_layout \begin_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). As stated earlier, such customization only shows up in the printed version, not in LyX. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There is more to nesting \family sans Enumerate \family default environments than we've stated here. You should read section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Nesting" \end_inset to learn more about nesting. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection \family sans Description \family default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Lists ! Description \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Example: This is an example of the \family sans Description \family default environment. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX typesets the label in boldface and puts extra space between it and the rest of the line. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard With the first \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset word \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset it is meant that the first hit of the \family sans Space \family default key ends the label if you are at the beginning of the first line of an item. If you need to use more than one word in the label use a \family sans Protected Blank \family default . (Use either \family sans C-Space \family default or the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Formatting\SpecialChar \menuseparator Protected \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Space \family default , see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Protected-Space" \end_inset for more info.) Here is an example: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Second \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Example: This one shows how to use a \family sans Protected \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Blank \family default in the label of a \family sans Description \family default list item. \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Description Nesting: You can nest \family sans Description \family default environments inside one another, nest them in other types of lists, and so on. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Notice that after the first line, LyX indents subsequent lines, offsetting them from the first line. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection The LyX \family sans List \family default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Lists ! LyX list \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \family sans List \family default environment is a LyX extension to LaTeX. \end_layout \begin_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 the following properties of this list environment: \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 item \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 label \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset width LyX uses the width of the label, or the default width, whatever is larger. If the label width is larger, 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 default \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset width You can set the default label width to ensure that the text of all items in a \family sans List \family default environment have the same left margin. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset To change the default width, select all items in the list. Now open the \family sans Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Paragraph \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Settings \family default dialog. The text in the box \family sans Longest \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset label \family default determines the default label width. You can use the text of your largest label here, but you can also use the letter \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset M \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset multiple times instead. The M is the widest character and is a standard unit of widths in LaTeX. By using \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset M \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset as the unit of width you don't need to keep changing the contents of \family sans Longest \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset label \family default every time you alter a label in a \family sans List \family default environment. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset The predefined default width is the length of \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset 00.00.0000 \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (equal to 6 M). \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold Note: \series default Setting the cursor into a list item to change only its label width will only change the width inside LyX but not in the output. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You should use the \family sans List \family default environment the same way like the \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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard 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 space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Nesting" \end_inset to learn about nesting. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There is yet another feature of the \family sans List \family default environment: 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. \family sans Hfills \family default are documented in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Horizontal-Space" \end_inset . Here are some examples: \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 Left The default for \family sans List \family default item labels. \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset space \hfill{} \end_inset Right One \family sans HFill \family default at the beginning of the label right justifies it. \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \begin_inset space \hfill{} \end_inset Center \begin_inset space \hfill{} \end_inset One \family sans HFill \family default at the beginning of the label and one at the end centers it. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Letters \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Letters \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection \family sans Address \family default and \family sans Right \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Address \family default : An Overview \end_layout \begin_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 \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 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 \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Of course, you're not limited to using \family sans Address \family default and \family sans Right \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Address \family default for letters only. \family sans Right \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Address \family default , in particular, is useful for creating article titles like those used in some European academic papers. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Usage \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Address-Usage" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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 \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 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: \end_layout \begin_layout Right Address Right Address \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Who I am \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Where I am \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset When is it? What is today? \end_layout \begin_layout Standard That was \family sans Right \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 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: \end_layout \begin_layout Address Who are you \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Where do I send this \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Your post office and country \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As you can see, both \family sans Address \family default and \family sans Right \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Address \family default add extra space between themselves and the next paragraph. 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, 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 have to use \family typewriter break-line \family default ( \family sans C-Return \family default or \family sans Formatting \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Character\SpecialChar \menuseparator Line \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Break \family default from the \family sans Insert \family default menu) to start a new line in an \family sans Address \family default or \family sans Right \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Address \family default environment. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Academic Writing \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection \family sans Abstract \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Abstracts \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \family sans Abstract \family default environment is used for the abstract of an article. Technically, you could use this environment anywhere, but you really should 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 article and report document classes. The book document classes ignores the \family sans Abstract \family default completely, and it's utterly silly to use \family sans Abstract \family default in a letter document class. \end_layout \begin_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. The appearance in the output depends on the used article or report class. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Starting a new paragraph by hitting \family sans Return \family default does not reset the paragraph environment. The new paragraph will still be in the \family sans Abstract \family default environment.

We inserted it therefore as figure \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "cap:Paragraph-in-the" \end_inset . 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection \family sans Bibliography \family default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Bibliography \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Biblio_environment" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \family sans Bibliography \family default environment is used to list references. Technically, you could use this environment anywhere, but you really should only use it at the end of the document. Nesting \family sans Bibliography \family default in anything else or vice versa won't work. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard When you first open a \family sans Bibliography \family default environment, LyX adds 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 not reset the paragraph environment. Each new paragraph is still in the \family sans Bibliography \family default environment. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There is another, usually better way to include references in your document by using a BibTeX database. For more information on that, and for a a detailed description of LyX's bibliography handling, have a look at in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Bibliography" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection LyX \family sans -Code \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Paragraph ! LyX code \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:LyX-Code" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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 status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout In the \family sans LyX-Code \family default environment, the \family sans Space \family default key is treated as a \family sans Protected \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Blank \family default instead of an end-of-word marker. \end_layout \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 not 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 can nest the \family sans LyX-Code \family default environment inside of others. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are a few quirks with this environment: \end_layout \begin_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 ). \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize You can't follow a \family sans C-Return \family default with a \family sans Space \family default . \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Use a \family sans Return \family default to begin a new paragraph, then you can use a \family sans Space \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Or: use \family sans C-Space \family default instead. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_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). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here's an example: \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code #include \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code int main(void) \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code { \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code printf("Hello World! \backslash n"); \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code return 0; \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code } \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This is just the standard \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Hello world! \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset program. \end_layout \begin_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.

Environments \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Nesting" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Introduction \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX treats text as a unified block with a particular context and specific properties. This allows you to create blocks that inherits some of the properties of another block. For example you have three main points in an outline, but point #2 also has two subpoints. In other words, you have a list inside of another list, with the inner list \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset attached \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset to item #2: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate one \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate two \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate sublist - item #1 \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate sublist - item #2 \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate three \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You put a list inside of a list by nesting one list inside the other. Nesting an environment is quite simple: Select \family sans Increase \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset List \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Depth \family default or \family sans Decrease \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset List \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Depth \family default from the \family sans Edit \family default menu to change the nesting depth of the current paragraph (the status bar will tell you how far you are nested). Instead of the menu, you can also use the toolbar buttons \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/depth-increment.png \end_inset and \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/depth-decrement.png \end_inset or the convenient key bindings \family sans Tab \family default and \family sans S-Tab \family default or \family sans S-M-Right \family default and \family sans S-M-Left \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. \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Nesting isn't 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection What You Can and Can't Nest \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The question if nesting a paragraph environment is possible, is a bit more complicated than a simple yes or no. There are three types of paragraph environments: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Completely unnestable \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Fully nestable, you can nest them inside of things and you can also nest other things inside of them. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize A third type, you can nest them into other environments, but you can't nest anything into them. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here's a list of the three types of nesting behavior, and which paragraph environments have them: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Unnestable Can't nest them. Can't nest into them. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Bibliography \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Abstract \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Title \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Author \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize \family sans Date \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Description Fully \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Nestable You can nest them.

Tables etc. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are several things that aren't paragraph environments, but which are affected by nesting anyhow. They are: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize equations \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize tables \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize figures \end_layout \begin_layout Standard ( \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold Note: \series default Figures and tables in \family sans Floats \family default are not affected by this. \end_layout \end_inset Have a look at section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Floats" \end_inset for more informations about \family sans Floats \family default .) \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX can treat these three objects as either a word or as a paragraph. If a figure, table, or an equation is inline, it goes wherever the paragraph it is in goes. \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here's an example with a table: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Item One \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate This is (a) and it's nested. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace 0.3cm \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center \begin_inset Tabular \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none a \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none b \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none c \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none d \end_layout \end_inset \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace 0.3cm \end_inset \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate This is (b). The table is actually nested inside (a). \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate Back out again. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If we hadn't nested the table at all, the list would look like this: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Item One \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate This is (a) and it's nested. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace 0.3cm \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center \begin_inset Tabular \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none a \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none b \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none c \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none d \end_layout \end_inset \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace 0.3cm \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate This is (b). The table is \emph on not \emph default nested inside (a). In fact, it's not nested at all. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Back out again. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Notice how item (b) is not only no longer nested, but is also the first item of a new list! \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There's another trap you can fall into: Nesting the table, but not going deep enough. LyX then turns anything after the table into a new sublist. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Item One \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate This is (a) and it's nested. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace 0.3cm \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center \begin_inset Tabular \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none a \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none b \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none c \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none d \end_layout \end_inset \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace 0.3cm \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate This is (b). The table is actually nested inside Item One, but \emph on not \emph default inside (a). \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate Back out again. \end_layout \begin_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! \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Usage and General Features \end_layout \begin_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: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate level #1 - outermost \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate level #2 \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate level #3 \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate level #4 \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize level #5 \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize level #6 \end_layout \end_deeper \end_deeper \end_deeper \end_deeper \end_deeper \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Some Examples \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Nesting ! Examples \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Example 1: The Six-fold Way and Mixed Nesting \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring MMM #1-a This is the outermost level. It's a \family sans List \family default environment. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_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 S-M-Right \family default . \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring MMM #3-a This is level #3. This time, we just hit \family sans Return \family default , then used \family sans S-M-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 S-M-Right \family default . \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Standard This is actually a \family sans Standard \family default environment, nested inside of \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset #3-a \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . So, it's at level #4. We did this by hitting \family sans M-Return \family default , then \family sans S-M-Right \family default , then changing the paragraph environment to \family sans Standard \family default . Do this to create list items with more than one paragraph - it also works for the \family sans Description \family default , \family sans Enumerate \family default , and \family sans Itemize \family default environments! \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here's another \family sans Standard \family default paragraph, also at level #4, made with just a \family sans M-Return \family default . \end_layout \begin_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 List \family default . Remember - we can't nest anything inside of a \family sans Standard \family default environment, which is why we're still at level #4. However, we \emph on can \emph default keep nesting things inside of \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset #3-a \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring MMM #5-a This is level #5\SpecialChar \ldots{} \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring MMM #6-a \SpecialChar \ldots{} and this is level #6. By now, you should know how we made these two. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring MMM #5-b Back to level #5. Just hit \family sans M-Return \family default followed by a \family sans S-M-Left \family default . \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring MMM #4-b After another \family sans M-Return \family default followed by a \family sans S-M-Left \family default , we're back at level #4. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring MMM #3-b Back to level #3. By now it should be obvious how we did this. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring MMM #2-b Back to level #2. \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring MMM #1-b And last, back to the outermost level, #1. After this sentence, we'll hit \family sans Return \family default and change the paragraph environment back to \family sans Standard \family default to end the list. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard We could have also used the \family sans Description \family default , \family sans Quote \family default , \family sans Quotation \family default , or even the \family sans Verse \family default environment in place of the \family sans List \family default environment. The example would have worked exactly the same. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Example 2: Inheritance \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code This is the LyX-Code environment, at level #1, the outermost \end_layout \begin_layout LyX-Code level. Now we'll hit \family sans Return \family default , then \family sans S-M-Right \family default , after which, we'll change to the \family sans Enumerate \family default environment. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate This is the \family sans Enumerate \family default environment, at level #2. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Notice how the nested \family sans Enumerate \family default not only inherits its margins from its parent environment ( \family sans LyX-Code \family default ), but also inherits its font and spacing! \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_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 S-M-Left \family default once. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Example 3: Labels, Levels, and the \family sans Enumerate \family default and \family sans Itemize \family default Environments \begin_inset OptArg status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Example #3: Labels, Levels and other list environments \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate This is level #1, in an \family sans Enumerate \family default paragraph environment. We're actually going to nest a bunch of these. \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate This is level #2. We used \family sans M-Return \family default followed by \family sans S-M-Right \family default . Now, what happens if we nest an \family sans Itemize \family default environment inside of this one? It will be at level #3, but what will its label be? An asterisk? \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_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. (We got here by using \family sans M-Return \family default , then \family sans S-M-Right \family default , then changing the environment to \family sans Itemize \family default .) \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Here's level #4, produced using \family sans M-Return \family default , then \family sans S-M-Right \family default . We'll do that again\SpecialChar \ldots{} \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_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 is \emph on lowercase Roman \emph default , because we are in the \emph on thirdfold \emph default \family sans Enumerate \family default environment (i.e. it is an \family sans Enumerate \family default inside an \family sans Enumerate \family default inside an \family sans Enumerate \family default ). \end_layout \begin_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? \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Let's use \family sans S-M-Left \family default to decrease the depth after the next \family sans M-Return \family default . \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate This is level #4. Look what type of label LyX is using! \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate This is level #3. Even though we've changed levels, LyX is still using a lowercase Roman numeral as the label.Why? \end_layout \begin_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_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate Another \family sans M-Return \family default \family sans S-M-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_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate The same thing happens if we do another \family sans M-Return \family default \family sans S-M-Left \family default sequence and return to level #1, the outermost level. \end_layout \begin_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 labeling LyX uses for the \family sans Enumerate \family default and \family sans Itemize \family default environments. The number of other \family sans Enumerate \family default environments 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Example 4: Going Bonkers \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate We're going to go totally nuts now. We won't nest as deep as in the other examples, nor will we go into the same detail with how we did it. (level #1: \family sans Enumerate \family default ) \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Standard ( \family sans Return, S-M-Right, Standard \family default : level #2) We'll stick an encapsulated description of how we created the example in parentheses someplace. For example, the two keybindings are how we changed the depth. The environment name is the name of the current environment.

Fills \end_layout \end_inset is a variable space, set so that the space is maximal within one page. An example: You have only two short paragraphs on one page with a vfill between them. Then the first paragraph is placed at the top of the page and the second one at the bottom, because the space between them is then maximal. \family sans VFill \family default s work like \family sans HFill \family default s: they fill the remaining vertical space on a page with blank space. \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \family sans HFill \family default s are described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Horizontal-Space" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset If there are several \family sans VFill \family default s on a page, they divide the remaining vertical space equally between themselves.

The other three alignments should be self-explanatory, and look like this: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align right This paragraph is right aligned, \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center this one is centered, \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align left this one is left aligned. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Forced Page Breaks \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Page breaks !

Normally this will not be necessary, because LaTeX is good at page breaking. Only if you use many \family sans Floats \family default , LaTeX's page breaking algorithm can fail. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard We recommend not to use forced pagebreaks until the text is finished, and until you have checked in the preview to see if you \emph on really \emph default have to change the page breaking. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are two types of pagebreaks: One that ends the page without any special action. This can be inserted above or below a paragraph via the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Formatting\SpecialChar \menuseparator New \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Page \family default . The second type, that is inserted via the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Formatting\SpecialChar \menuseparator Page \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Break \family default , ends a page but stretches the content of the page, so that it fills out the complete page. This type is useful to avoid whitespace when a page break produces a page on which only the last few lines are absent. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You might try to use a page break 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.

Clear \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Differently to forced pagebreaks where the content behind the break is directly placed at the next page, pages can also be cleared while breaking them. That means that the current paragraph is terminated and all, perhaps not yet processed floats from previous document parts are placed behind it, if necessary by adding pages. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can insert a clear page break with the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Formatting\SpecialChar \menuseparator Clear \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Page \family default .

Another type that is inserted via the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Formatting\SpecialChar \menuseparator Justified \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Line \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Break \family default breaks the line and stretches it so that it fills out the whole space between the page margins. This is necessary to avoid \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset fringes \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset in justified paragraphs due to whitespace introduced by line breaks. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You shouldn't use forced line breaks to correct LaTeX's line breaking, as LaTeX is very good at line breaking. There are, however, a number of situations where it is necessary to actively set a line break, e.g. in a poem or for an address (see sections \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Quote" \end_inset , \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Verse" \end_inset and \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Address-Usage" \end_inset ). \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Horizontal Lines \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Horizontal-Lines" \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Horizontal lines \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \lyxline In the dialog \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Formatting\SpecialChar \menuseparator Horizontal \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Line \family default you can insert horizontal lines that spans over the whole document columns width. \lyxline \end_layout \begin_layout Section Characters and Symbols \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can directly enter all characters that are available on your keyboard.

Types \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are two types of fonts: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Vector \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset fonts \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Fonts ! Vector- \end_layout \end_inset are fonts, built from outlines of the single glyphs (i.e. characters) in the font. This means that each glyph is defined using mathematical curves that are well suited for scaling to any requested size. This mathematical definition is interpreted by the font renderer and the curve is filled out with pixels according to the size and glyph. This means that outline fonts will look pretty good in all sizes. Only at very small sizes it might be hard to provide a good rendering at very small sizes, where each pixel has to be very carefully computed to provide a good image. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset One could mean that one only needs to define one font size and scale them. But to achieve a better quality, many fonts define several font sizes. That improves the appearance, because you need more details at large font sizes than at small ones. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset The font types \family typewriter TrueType \family default , \family typewriter OpenType \family default , and \family typewriter Type \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 1 PostScript \family default are vector fonts. \end_layout \begin_layout Description Bitmap \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset fonts \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Fonts ! Bitmap- \end_layout \end_inset on the other hand, are defined by bitmap graphics from the start, so they will look good at all the sizes they are meant for. However, they don't scale well, because in order to scale a glyph, each pixel is enlarged into several pixels. It is the same effect that happens if you try to enlarge a picture in a picture manipulation program. In order to relieve this effect, bitmap fonts are typically provided in several fixed sizes typically from around 8 pixels high up to 34 pixels or so high in steps according to what is believed to be useful. The advantage of bitmap fonts is that no complicated computations are necessary to display each glyph, so bitmap fonts are thus faster displayed than scalable fonts. The disadvantage is that sizes that don't exists as fixed versions have to be scaled by doubling pixels, and thus look bad. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Bitmap fonts are named \family typewriter Type \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 3 \family default in PostScript- and PDF-documents. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The result of all this, is that bitmap fonts are best for the size they are designed for, while scalable fonts are good for nearly all sizes. So one need less font size definitions for scalable fonts. That's the reason why nearly all text render and typesetting programs use scalable fonts. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To test which fonts are used in a PDF-document, you can have a look into its document properties. \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Document Font and Font size \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Document-Font" \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Font !

There you can specify which font should be used for the three different font shapes roman (serif), \family sans sans \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset serif \family default , and \family typewriter typewriter \family default and its scalings. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The possible options for the font include \family sans default \family default and a list of fonts available on your system. \family sans default \family default uses the standard TeX fonts, known as \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter Computer Modern \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ( \family typewriter cm \family default ) or \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter European Computer Modern \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ( \family typewriter ec \family default ). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As \family typewriter cm \family default and \family typewriter ec \family default are bitmap fonts, they often looks pixeled in PDF output, especially when you read the PDF in a zoomed size. \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout This problem doesn't appear if you read PDFs in \family typewriter Adobe \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Reader \family default version 6 or later, because this program includes a special bitmap font renderer. \end_layout \end_inset To get rid of pixeled fonts, you have to use a vector font. There are three ways to use one: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize One way is to use the \family typewriter AE \family default fonts. \family typewriter AE \family default is a virtual font. Virtual means that it \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset steals \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset outline \family typewriter cm \family default -glyphs from other fonts. This has the disadvantage that some characters are missing, like the French guillemets ( \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset « \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset and \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset » \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Loading the LaTeX-package \series bold aeguill \series default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout LaTeX-packages ! aeguill \end_layout \end_inset with the document preamble line \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold \backslash usepackage[ec]{aeguill} \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout will fix the guillemet problem. \end_layout \end_inset and that accented characters are not \emph on one \emph default glyph, they are build of \emph on two \emph default characters, the accent and the letter. Therefore you can't search in documents using the \family typewriter AE \family default fonts for words with accented characters. If you search for example for the French word \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset rève \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset in a PDF, you won't get any result, because the PDF-viewer searches for the glyph \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset è \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset and not for the glyph \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset e + \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset ̀ \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Another possibility is to use three different outline fonts \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Other fonts, like \family typewriter Latin Modern \family default or \family typewriter Computer Modern \family default , consists of these three main font types \family sans sans \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset serif \family default , \family sans typewriter \family default , and \family sans serif \family default . \end_layout \end_inset : \family typewriter Times Roman \family default as roman font, \family sans \family typewriter Helvetica \family default scaled to 92 or 95 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset % as sans \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset serif font, and \family typewriter courier \family default as typewriter font. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset The differences between roman, \family sans sans \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset serif \family default , and \family typewriter typewriter \family default fonts are explained in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Fine-Tuning-with-the" \end_inset . \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset The font \family typewriter Times Roman \family default was originally designed for newspapers. That means its glyphs are smaller than the one from other fonts to fit into the small newspaper columns. Therefore \family typewriter Times Roman \family default is not the optimal choice for larger documents like books. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize The best solution is to use the \family typewriter Latin Modern \family default ( \family typewriter lm \family default ) fonts. These fonts are developed in order of the LaTeX community to replace \family typewriter cm \family default as default fonts. In most cases they look the same as \family typewriter cm \family default \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout One difference is improved kerning for the \family typewriter lm \family default fonts. \end_layout \end_inset , but \family typewriter lm \family default covers a vast number of characters over the other two families \family typewriter cm \family default and \family typewriter ec \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace bigskip \end_inset For the font size there are four possible values: \family sans default, 10 \family default , \family sans 11 \family default , and \family sans 12 \family default . The size of \family sans default \family default depends on your LaTeX-system, normally it is equal to the font size 10. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The font sizes are the \emph on base size \emph default . That means that LyX scales all other possible font sizes (such as those used in footnotes, super-, and subscripts) by this value. You can fine-tune the font size of text parts via the \family sans Text \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Style \family default dialog if needed. The possible font sizes for text parts are explained in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Fine-Tuning-with-the" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The field \family sans CJK \family default allows users of the languages Chinese, Japanese, Korean (CJK) to specify a font to display the script characters. \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout The font will be the argument for the commands of the LaTeX-package \series bold CJK \series default . So this has no effect for the document language \family sans Japanese \family default that doesn't use \series bold CJK \series default . \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace bigskip \end_inset \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold Note: \series default When you choose a new font or font size, LyX does \emph on not \emph default change the screen font! You will only see a difference in the printed output; this is part of the WYSIWYM concept. LyX's screen fonts can be adjusted in the \family sans Tools\SpecialChar \menuseparator Preferences \family default dialog, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Screen-Fonts" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Using Different Character Styles \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Character Styles \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Text Style \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As we've already seen, LyX automatically changes the character style for certain paragraph environments. LyX supports two 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To activate the \family sans Noun \family default style, do one of the following: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize click on the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/font-noun.png \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize use the key binding \family sans M-c \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset c \end_layout \begin_layout Standard These commands are all toggles. That is, if \family sans Noun \family default style is already active, they deactivate it. \end_layout \begin_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 \end_layout \begin_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: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize clicking on the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/font-emph.png \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize using the keybindings \family sans M-c \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset e \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Normally the \family sans Emphasized \family default style is equivalent to an italic font but some document classes or LaTeX-packag es use a different font. \end_layout \begin_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: \end_layout \begin_layout Quotation \emph on Don't overuse character styles! \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can always reset to the default font using the key binding \family sans M-c \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Space \family default or the dialog \family sans Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Text \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Style \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Fine-Tuning with the \family sans Text Style \family default dialog \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Fine-Tuning-with-the" \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Text Style \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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. Also, writers sometimes use a different font to offset a character's thoughts from ordinary dialog. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Before we document how to use custom character style, we want to issue a warning yet again: Don't overuse character styles! \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset Documents that overuse different fonts and sizes are not well readable and tend to look like someone has knocked huge holes in it. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To use custom character styles, open the \family sans Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Text \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Style \family default dialog. There are several boxes on this dialog, each corresponding to a different font property which you can choose. You can choose an option for one of these properties, or select \family sans No \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 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. You can use this to reset attributes across a bunch of different paragraph environments in a snap. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The font properties, and their options (in addition to \family sans No \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset change \family default and \family sans Reset \family default ) are: \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Family \family default The \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset overall look \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset of the font.

We cover these informations in much greater detail in the \emph on Extended \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Features \emph default manual as well. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX uses the program LaTeX as its backend. LaTeX is just a macro package for the TeX typesetting system, but to prevent confusion, we'll only refer to LaTeX. LyX is what you use to do your actual writing. Then, LyX calls LaTeX to turn your writing into printable output. This happens in two stages: \end_layout \begin_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 . \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Next, LaTeX uses the commands in the \family typewriter .tex \family default file to produce printable output. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Output file formats \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout File formats \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Output-file-formats" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection ASCII \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout File formats !

If you know LaTeX, you can use it to find out LaTeX-Errors or to process it manually with console commands. The LaTeX-file is automatically created in LyX's temporary directory whenever you view or export your document. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can export your document as LaTeX-file using the menu \family sans File\SpecialChar \menuseparator Export\SpecialChar \menuseparator LaT \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout {} \end_layout \end_inset eX \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection DVI \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout File formats ! DVI \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This file type has the extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .dvi \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . It is called \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset device-independent \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (DVI), because it is completely portable; you can move them from one machine to another without needing to do any sort of conversion. At the time when this file-format was developed, this was no matter of course. DVIs are used for quick previews and as pre-stage for other output formats, like PostScript. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold Note: \series default The DVI file doesn't contain images, they will only be a linked. So don't forget to deliver the images together with your DVIs. \end_layout \end_inset This property can also slow down your computer when you view the DVI. Because the DVI-viewer has to convert the image in the background to make it visible when you scroll in the DVI. So we recommend to use PDF for files with many images. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can export your document to DVI by the menu \family sans File\SpecialChar \menuseparator Export\SpecialChar \menuseparator DVI \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection PostScript \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout File formats !

PostScript was developed by the company \family typewriter Adobe \family default as printer language. The file contains therefore commands that the printer uses to print the file. PostScript can be seen as \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset programming language \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ; you can calculate with it and draw diagrams and images. \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout If you are interested to learn more about this, have a look at the LaTeX-package \series bold pstricks \series default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout LaTeX-packages ! pstricks \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset Due to this ability, the files are often bigger than PDFs. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard PostScript can only contain images in the format \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Encapsulated PostScript \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (EPS, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .eps \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ). As LyX allows you to use any known image format in your document, it has to convert them in the background to EPS. If you have e.g 50 images in your document, LyX has to do 50 conversions whenever you view or export your document. This will slow down your workflow with LyX drastically. So if you plan to use PostScript, you can insert your images directly as EPS to avoid this problem. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can export your document to PostScript using the menu \family sans File\SpecialChar \menuseparator Export\SpecialChar \menuseparator PostScript \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection PDF \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout File formats !

The \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Portable Document Format \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (PDF) is developed by \family typewriter Adobe \family default as derivative from PostScript. It is more compressed and it uses much less commands than PostScript. As the name \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset portable \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset implies, it can be processed at any computer system and the printed output looks exactly the same. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard PDF can contain images in its own PDF format and in the formats \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Joint Photographic Experts Group \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (JPG, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .jpg \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset or \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .jpeg \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ) and \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Portable Network Graphics \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (PNG, file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter .png \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset ). You can although use any other image format, because LyX converts them in the background to one of these formats. But as described in the section about PostScript, the image conversion will slow down your workflow. So we recommend to use images in one of the three mentioned formats. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can export your document to PDF via the menu \family sans File\SpecialChar \menuseparator Export \family default in three different ways: \end_layout \begin_layout Description PDF This uses the program \family typewriter ps2pdf \family default that creates a PDF from a PostScript-version of your file. The PostScript-version is produced by the program \family typewriter dvips \family default which uses a DVI-version as intermediate step. So this export variant consist of three conversions. \end_layout \begin_layout Description PDF \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (dvipdfm) This uses the program \family typewriter dvipdfm \family default that converts your file in the background to DVI and in a second step to PDF. \end_layout \begin_layout Description PDF \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (pdflatex) This uses the program \family typewriter pdftex \family default that converts your file directly to PDF. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard We recommend to use \family sans PDF \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (pdflatex) \family default because \family typewriter pdftex \family default supports all features of actual PDF-versions, is quick and works stable without problems. The program \family typewriter dvipdfm \family default is no more under development and therefore a bit outdated. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Previewing \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Document ! Preview \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To get a look at the final version of your document, with all of the pagebreaks in place, the footnotes correctly numbered, and so on, use the menu \family sans View \family default and choose a file type. A viewing program will popup showing the output. For \family sans View\SpecialChar \menuseparator DVI \family default you can use the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/buffer-view_dvi.png \end_inset (shortcut \family sans C-d \family default ), for \family sans View\SpecialChar \menuseparator PDF \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (pdflatex) \family default the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/buffer-view_pdf2.png \end_inset , and for \family sans View\SpecialChar \menuseparator Postscript \family default the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/buffer-view_ps.png \end_inset (shortcut \family sans C-t \family default ). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you have changed your document, you can refresh the output in the same viewer window using the menu \family sans View\SpecialChar \menuseparator Update \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard When you preview a file, the output file is only generated in LyX's temporary directory. To have a real output, export your document. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Printing the File from within LyX \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Printing-the-File" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Instead of exporting your file and then printing them, you can also print it directly from within LyX. To print a file, select the menu \family sans File\SpecialChar \menuseparator Print \family default or click on the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/dialog-show_print.png \end_inset . LyX will internally call LaTeX to produce a DVI. This file is then processed by the program \family typewriter dvips \family default to PostScript-file, which is finally printed using the program \family typewriter Ghostscript \family default . Due to these steps in the background, this method is not the fastest. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can choose to print only even-numbered or odd-numbered pages - this is useful for printing on two sides: You can re-insert the pages after printing one set 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can set the parameters in the \family sans Print \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Destination \family default box as follows: \end_layout \begin_layout Labeling \labelwidthstring 00.00.0000 \family sans Printer \family default This is the name of the printer to print to. \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Note that this printer name is for the program \family typewriter dvips \family default .

They are automatically converted to the appropriate length dash in the final output, but not in LyX. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The three dash types are distinct from the minus sign, which appears in math mode and has a length of its own. Here are some examples of the \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family typewriter - \family default \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset in use: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate line- and page-breaks \begin_inset space \hfill{} \end_inset ( \emph on hyphen \emph default ) \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate From A--Z \begin_inset space \hfill{} \end_inset ( \emph on en dash \emph default ) \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Oh --- there's a dash. \begin_inset space \hfill{} \end_inset ( \emph on em dash \emph default ) \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate \begin_inset Formula $x^{2}-y^{2}=z^{2}$ \end_inset \begin_inset space \hfill{} \end_inset ( \emph on minus sign \emph default ) \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Hyphenation \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Hyphenation \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Hyphenation" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Words aren't hyphenated within LyX but automatically in the output.

If LaTeX can't break a word correctly, you can set hyphenation points manually. This is done with the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Formatting\SpecialChar \menuseparator Hyphenation \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Point \family default . These extra hyphenation points are only recommendations to LaTeX. If no hyphenation is necessary, LaTeX will ignore them. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Sometimes you want to prevent words or constructs to be hyphenated. The keybindings/shortcuts in this document consists of three letters with a hyphen and a space in the form \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset A-b c \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . LaTeX finds there the hyphen \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset - \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset as hyphenation possibility. Hyphenating at this point would look ugly. To prevent the shortcut from being hyphenated, we can put it in the argument of the LaTeX-box-command \series bold \backslash mbox \series default , because text within LaTeX-boxes can't be hyphenated. As LyX doesn't support \series bold \backslash mbox \series default , we have to use TeX Code. The result looks in LyX like: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/mbox.png \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To learn more about TeX Code, have a look at section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:TeX-Code" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Punctuation Marks \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Punctuation marks \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Abbreviations and End of Sentence \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Abbreviations" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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 . That means 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Unfortunately, the algorithm for figuring out what's an abbreviation works not for all cases. 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here are some examples of \emph on correct \emph default abbreviations and the end of a sentence: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize M. Butterfly \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize Don't worry. Be happy. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard And here's an example of the algorithm going wrong: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize e. g. this is too much space! \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize This is I. It's okay. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You won't see anything wrong until you view a final version of your document. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To fix this problem, use one of the following: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Use an \family sans Inter-word \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Space \family default after lowercase abbreviations (see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Inter-word-Space" \end_inset ). \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Spaces ! inter-word \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Use a \family sans Thin \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Space \family default between two tokens of an abbreviation (see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Thin-Space" \end_inset ). \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Spaces ! thin \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Use an \family sans End \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset of \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset sentence \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset period \family default found under the \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Special \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Character \family default menu to force the use of inter-sentence spacing. This function is also bound to \family sans C-period \family default for easy access. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard With the corrections, our earlier examples look like this: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g. \begin_inset space \space{} \end_inset this is too much space! \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize This is I\SpecialChar \@.

Widows and orphans \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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 bits of text became known as \emph on widows \emph default and \emph on orphans \emph default . \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_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 \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "latexcompanion" \end_inset or \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "latexguide" \end_inset ] may have more information.

Then a dialog will appear to choose the file to load. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This dialog has numerous mostly self-explanatory parameters. The \family sans Graphics \family default tab allows you to choose your image file. The image can be transformed by setting a rotation angle and a scaling factor. The scaling units are explained in Appendix \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "cha:Units-available-in" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In the tab \family sans Clipping \family default it is possible to set image coordinates to adjust the height and width of the image in the output.

The option \family sans Clip \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset to \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset bounding \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset box \family default will only print the image region within the given coordinates. Normally you don't need to take care about image coordinates and can ignore the tab \family sans Clipping \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In the \family sans LaTeX and LyX options \family default tab LaTeX experts can specify additional LaTeX options. You can also specify here the appearance of the image inside LyX. The option \family sans Draft \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset mode \family default has the effect that the image doesn't appear in the output, only a frame with the image size is printed. The option \family sans Don't \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset unzip \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset on \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset export \family default is explained in the \emph on Embedded Objects \emph default manual in section \emph on Graphics Dialog \emph default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The graphics dialog can be called at any time by clicking on an image. The image will appear in the output exactly at the position where it is in the text. This is an example image within a separate, horizontally centered paragraph: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/mobius.eps scale 70 rotateOrigin center \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you need image captions and want to reference images, you have to put the image into a float, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Figure-Floats" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Image Formats \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Images ! Formats \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Image-Formats" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can insert images in any known file format. But as we explained in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Output-file-formats" \end_inset , every output document format allows only a few image formats. LyX uses therefore the program \family typewriter Imagemagick \family default in the background to convert the images to the right format. To increase your workflow by avoiding these conversions in the background, you can use only the image formats listed in the subsections of section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Output-file-formats" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Similar to fonts there are two types of image formats: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Bitmap \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset images consist of pixel values, often in a compressed form.

Settings grouping \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Each image can define a new group of image settings or join an existing group. Images within such a group share their settings, so adjusting one image of the group automatically also adjusts all other images of the group in the same way. So you can for example change the size for a bunch of images without the need to manually change each of them. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A new group can be set by entering a name in the \family sans Initialize \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Group \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Name \family default field in the Graphics dialog.

A dialog will appear, asking you for the number of rows and columns. The default table has lines around any cell and the first row appears separated from the rest of the table. This separation appears due to a double line: The cells of the first row have a line below them and the cells of the second row have a line above them.

Here you can adjust the settings of the cell and row/column respectively where the cursor is placed currently. Most of the dialog 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Additionally to the table dialog the \family sans table \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset toolbar \family default , that appears when the cursor is inside a table, helps you in setting table properties. It is for example currently only possible to add \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset / \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset delete lines via the table toolbar. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In the tab \family sans Table \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Settings \family default of the table dialog you can set the alignment for the current row. If you add a row or column, it will be inserted right beside or below the current cell respectively. The vertical alignment of a column can only be adjusted when a column width is given. A given width will allow the cell to have line breaks and multiple paragraphs of text, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Table-Cells" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can mark multiple cells of one row as a multicolumn cell using the check box \family sans Multicolumn \family default . This will merge the cells to \emph on one \emph default cell, spread over more than one column. Multicolumn cells are treated as own rows, so that the alignment, width, and border settings affect only the multicolumn cell. Here's an example table with a multicolumn cell in the first row and one in the last row without the upper border: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \align center \begin_inset Tabular \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout abc \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout def ghi \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout jkl \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \noun off \color none A \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout B \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout C \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout D \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout 1 \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout 2 \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout 3 \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout 4 \end_layout \end_inset \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard At the moment LyX doesn't support multirow cells. Adept users can declare special LaTeX-arguments for the table. They are necessary for special table formatting, like for multirow cells, explained in the tables section of the \emph on Extended \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Features \emph default manual. You can also rotate the current cell or the whole table 90 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset degrees counterclockwise.

Images and tables can evenly be spread to the pages to avoid whitespace and pages without text. As the floating often destroys the context between the text and the image/table , every float can be referenced in the text. Floats are therefore numbered. Referencing is described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Cross-References" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To insert a float, use the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Floats \family default .

That means, if you use the default placement, LaTeX will first try out \family sans Here \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset if \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset possible \family default , then \family sans Top \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset of \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset page \family default , and then the others. If you don't use the default, LaTeX will try only the checked options but in the same order. If none of the 4 placements are possible the procedure is internally repeated but it is tried to put the float on the following page. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard By default, each options has its own rules: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family sans Top \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset of \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset page \family default only floats occupying less than 70 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset % of the page can be placed at the top of a page \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family sans Bottom \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset of \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset page \family default : only floats occupying less than 30 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset % of the page can be placed at the bottom of a page. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family sans Page \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset of \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset floats \family default : only if more than 50 \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset % of the page are occupied by floats, several floats can be set together on a page. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you don't like these rules, you can ignore them by using the additional option \family sans Ignore \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset LaTeX \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset rules \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Sometimes you might need, under all circumstances, a float to be placed exactly at the position where it is inserted. For this case you can use the option \family sans Here \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset definitely \family default . Use this option very rarely and only if the document is nearly ready to be printed. Because the float is then no longer able to \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset float \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset when you change your document and this will often destroy the page layout. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are no placement options for text wrap floats, because they are always surrounded by the text of a certain paragraph. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard For more details about float placements, have a look at LaTeX books like \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "latexcompanion,latexguide,latexbook" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Section Minipages \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Minipages \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Minipages" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LaTeX provides a mechanism to produce essentially a page within a page, called minipage. Within a minipage, all the usual rules of indentation, line wrapping, etc. \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset apply. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Minipages in LyX have their own collapsible box inserted via the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Box \family default .

There you'll also find tips and tricks for special cases. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Basic Math Editing \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math ! Basics \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To create a math formula, you can just click on the toolbar icon \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/math-mode.png \end_inset . That will create a little blue rectangle, with purple markers around its corners. That blue rectangle 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 Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Math \family default menu. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Editing the parameters of a formula and adding math constructs can be done with the \family sans math \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset toolbar \family default , that appears when the cursor is in a formula. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are two main types of formulas: Inline formulas appear within a text line, like this one: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This is a line with an inline formula \begin_inset Formula $A=B$ \end_inset in it. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Displayed formulas appear outside the text like as they were in an own paragraph , like this one: \begin_inset Formula \[ A=B\] \end_inset You can only number and reference displayed formulas. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX supports also many LaTeX math commands. E.g. typing \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \series bold \backslash alpha \series default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , followed by a space, in a formula will create the Greek letter \begin_inset Formula $\alpha$ \end_inset . So typing commands might sometimes be faster than using the \family sans Math \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Panel \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Navigating in Formulas \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math ! Navigating \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The best control over the cursor position within an existing formula is achieved with the arrow keys. LyX uses small rectangles 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 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family sans Space \family default , printed in this document as \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash spce \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset \begin_inset Note Note status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout This command will appear in the output as official character denoting the space character (visible space). \end_layout \end_inset , seems to do nothing in a formula, since it does not 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 \series bold \backslash sqrt \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash spce \end_layout \end_inset 2x+1 \series default and not \series bold \backslash sqrt \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash spce \end_layout \end_inset 2x \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash spce \end_layout \end_inset +1 \series 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 . \end_layout \begin_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. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Selecting Text \end_layout \begin_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, but not in a normal text region in LyX. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Exponents and Subscripts \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math ! Exponents \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math ! Subscripts \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can use the math panel to add super- or subscripts, but the much easier way is to use a command. To get \begin_inset Formula $x^{2}$ \end_inset , type in a formula \series bold x^2 \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash spce \end_layout \end_inset \series default . The final \family sans Space \family default puts the cursor back down on the base line of the expression. If you type \series bold x^2y \series default , you will get \begin_inset Formula $x^{2y}$ \end_inset , to get \begin_inset Formula $x^{2}y$ \end_inset , type \series bold x^2 \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash spce \end_layout \end_inset y \series default . If you use characters in the superscript, that could be accented with the hat \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset ^ \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , you have to use an extra \family sans Space \family default to separate the hat and the character. E.g. if you want \begin_inset Formula $x^{a}$ \end_inset , type \series bold x^ \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash spce \end_layout \end_inset a \series default . Subscripts are similar: To get \begin_inset Formula $a_{1}$ \end_inset , type \series bold a_1 \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash spce \end_layout \end_inset \series default . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Fractions \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math !

You will be presented with an empty fraction. The cursor is above the fraction line. To move it to the bottom, simply press \family sans Down \family default . To move back up, press \family sans Up \family default . Any math structure can be placed in a fraction, as this example shows: \begin_inset Formula \[ \left[\frac{1}{\left(\begin{array}{cc} 2 & 3\\ 4 & 5\end{array}\right)}\right]\] \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Roots \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math !

With the command \series bold \backslash root \series default you can produce roots of higher orders, like cube roots, while \series bold \backslash sqrt \series default produces always a square root. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Operators with Limits \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math !

Integrals \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Operators-with-Limits" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Sum ( \begin_inset Formula $\sum$ \end_inset ) and integral ( \begin_inset Formula $\int$ \end_inset ) operators are very often decorated with limits. These limits can be entered in LyX by entering them as you would enter a super- or subscript, directly after the symbol. The sum operator will automatically place its \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset limits \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset over and under the symbol in displayed formulas, and on the side in inline formulas. Such as \begin_inset Formula $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!}=e$ \end_inset , versus \begin_inset Formula \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!}=e\] \end_inset Integral signs, however, will place the limits on the side in both formula types. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard All operators with limits will be automatically re-sized when placed in display mode. The placement of the limits can be changed by placing the cursor directly behind the operator and hitting \family sans M-m l \family default or using the menu \family sans Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator Math\SpecialChar \menuseparator Change \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Limits \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Type \family default . \end_layout \begin_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 Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math ! Limits \end_layout \end_inset \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. In inline formulas it looks like this: \begin_inset Formula $\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}f(x)$ \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Note that the lim-function was entered as the function macro \series bold \backslash lim \series default . Have a look at section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Functions" \end_inset for an explanation of function macros. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Math Symbols \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math ! Symbols \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Most math symbols can be found in the \family sans Math \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Panel \family default under one of several categories; including \family sans Greek \family default , \family sans Operators \family default , \family sans Relations \family default , \family sans Arrows \family default . There are also the additional symbols provided by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you know the LaTeX-command for a construct or symbol you wish to use, you don't have to use the \family sans Math \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Panel \family default , but can type the command directly into the formula. LyX will convert it to the corresponding symbol or construct. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Altering Spacing \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math ! Spaces \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You may want to create spaces that differs from the standard spacing that LaTeX provides. To do this, type \family sans C-Space \family default or to use the \family sans Math \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Panel \family default button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/math/space.png \end_inset . This generates a small space, and shows a small marker on the screen. Here a example for the sequence \series bold a C-Space b \series default : \begin_inset Formula $a\, b$ \end_inset (appears in LyX as \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/SpaceMarker.png \end_inset ). You can change the space to different sizes when you set the cursor behind the space marker and hit space again several times. With every space hit the size will be changed. Some markers for the space size appear red in LyX, because they are a negative spaces. Here two examples: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold a C-Space b \series default and 3× \family sans Space \family default : \begin_inset Formula $a\quad b$ \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold a C-Space b \series default and 5× \family sans Space \family default : \begin_inset Formula $a\! b$ \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Functions \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math ! Functions \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Functions" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \family sans Math \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Panel \family default contains under the button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/math/functions.png \end_inset a number of functions, such as \begin_inset Formula $\sin$ \end_inset , \begin_inset Formula $\lim$ \end_inset , \emph on etc \emph default . (you can also insert them in a formula by typing \series bold \backslash sin \series default etc.). Standard mathematical practice is, that functions are printed upright to avoid confusions, because \begin_inset Formula $sin$ \end_inset does normally mean \begin_inset Formula $s·i·n$ \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Using the function macros will also produce correct spacing around the function: \begin_inset Formula $a\sin x$ \end_inset is different from \begin_inset Formula $asinx$ \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard For some mathematical objects, like the limes, the macro changes the way that subscripts are placed, like described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Operators-with-Limits" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Accents \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Math ! Accents \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_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 LaTeX commands to e.g. enter \begin_inset Formula $\hat{a}$ \end_inset even if your keyboard doesn't have hat-accents enabled.

The placeholder for the arguments are inserted as a backslash and sharp followed by the argument number, e.g. \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \backslash #1 \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset for the first argument. Placeholders will be displayed in red. The second blue box is for the appearance in LyX. This is useful when you have a large structure that shouldn't be displayed in LyX with its full size.

The prefix \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans enu: \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset stands for \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset enumerate \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . The prefix depends on the document part where the label is inserted, e.g. if you insert a label to a section heading, the prefix will be \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans sec: \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To reference the item, we refer to its label using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Cross-Reference \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/dialog-show-new-inset_ref.png scale 85 \end_inset . A grey cross-reference box like this: \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/referenceQt4.png scale 85 \end_inset is inserted and the cross-reference window appear showing all labels of the document. We can now sort the labels alphabetically and then choose the entry \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans enu:Second-item \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . At the position of the cross-reference box the item number will appear in the output. Here is our cross-reference: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Item \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "enu:Second-item" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard It is recommended to use a protected space \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Protected-Space" \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset between the cross-reference name and its number to avoid ugly line breaks between them. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are six varieties of cross-references: \end_layout \begin_layout Description : prints the float number, this is the default: \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "cap:Two-distorted-images" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description (): prints the float number within two parentheses, this is the style normally used to reference formulas, especially when the reference name \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Equation \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset is omitted: \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand eqref reference "eq:tanhExp" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description : prints the page number: Page \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand pageref reference "cap:Two-distorted-images" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description on \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset page \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset : prints the text "on page" and the page number: \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand vpageref reference "cap:Two-distorted-images" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset on \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset page \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset : prints the float number, the text "on page", and the page number: \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand vref reference "cap:Two-distorted-images" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description Formatted \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset reference: prints a self defined cross-reference format. \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold Note: \series default This feature is only available when you have the LaTeX-package \series bold prettyref \series default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout LaTeX-packages ! prettyref \end_layout \end_inset installed. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Note that the style won't print the page number if the label is on the previous, the same, or the next page.

The varieties are adjusted in the field \family sans Format \family default of the cross-reference window, that appear when you click on the cross-referenc e box. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can only use the style \family sans \family default to reference numbered document parts, while the reference style \family sans \family default is always possible. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you want to reference a section, put the label in the section heading, to reference a float, put the label in the caption. For footnotes you can put the label somewhere in it. Referencing formulas is explained in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Formula-Numbering-and" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The button \family sans Go \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset to \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Label \family default in the cross-reference window sets the the cursor before the referred label. The button text changes then to \family sans Go \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Back \family default and you can use it to set the cursor back to the cross-reference. Right-clicking on a cross-reference box also sets the cursor before the referred label but without a possibility to go back. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can change labels at any time by clicking on the label box. References to the changed label will automatically change its link to the new label text, so that you don't need to take care about this. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If a cross-reference refers to a non-existing label, you'll see two question marks in the output instead of the reference. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard References are described in detail in the \emph on Embedded Objects \emph default manual. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Table of Contents and other Listings \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Table of contents \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Outline \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:toc" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Table of Contents \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Table-of-Contents" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The Table of Contents (TOC) is inserted with the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator List/TOC\SpecialChar \menuseparator Table \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset of \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Contents \family default . Is is displayed in LyX as a gray box. If you click on it, the \family sans Outline \family default window appears, showing you the TOC entries as outline to move and rearrange sections in your documents. So this operation is an alternative to the menu \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Outline \family default that is described in sec. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Navigating" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The TOC in the document output lists every numbered section automatically. If you have declared a short title for a section heading, as described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Short-Titles" \end_inset , it will be used in the TOC instead of the section heading. Section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Numbering-depth" \end_inset describes how the level is adjusted that defines which section types are listed in the TOC. Unnumbered sections are not listed in the TOC. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection List of Figures, Tables, and Algorithms \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:List-of-Figures" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Table, figure, and algorithm lists are very much like the table of contents. You can insert them via the \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator List \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset / \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset TOC \family default submenus.

The appearing dialog has two fields: \family sans Target \family default and \family sans Name \family default . The name is the printed text for the hyperlink. The hyperlink type can be a weblink like this: \begin_inset CommandInset href LatexCommand href name "LyX's homepage" target "http://www.lyx.org" \end_inset , an Email address like this: \begin_inset CommandInset href LatexCommand href name "lyx-docs mailing list" target "lyx-docs@lists.lyx.org?subject=LyX's documentation" type "mailto:" \end_inset , or a link to a file. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can start applications via a hyperlink when you insert a weblink, but add the prefix \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans run: \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset to the link target. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Hyperlinks will automatically be hyphenated if necessary in the PDF output, and become clickable in the DVI and PDF-output. To set the format of the link text, highlight the hyperlink inset and use the text style dialog. This is for example a hyperlink with bold sans serif text: \family sans \series bold \begin_inset CommandInset href LatexCommand href name "LyX's homepage" target "http://www.lyx.org" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The link text color can be changed, when the option \family sans Color links \family default is set in the PDF Properties dialog (menu \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings\SpecialChar \menuseparator PDF Properties \family default ). The link text is for example set in this document to blue by adding the option \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \series bold urlcolor=blue \series default \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset to the field \family sans Additional options \family default in the PDF Properties dialog. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Appendices \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Appendix \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Appendices" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Appendices are created with the menu \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Start \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Appendix \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Here \family default . This menu sets the document from the current cursor position to the end as appendix region. The region is marked with a red borderline. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Every chapter (or section) within the appendix region is treated as an appendix, numbered with a capital Latin letter. The appendix subsections are numbered with this letter followed by a dot and the subsection number. All appendix sections can be referenced as if they were normal sections, here two examples: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Appendix \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "cha:Credits" \end_inset ; Appendix \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Export" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Bibliography \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Bibliography \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Bibliography" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard There are two ways of generating the bibliography in a LyX-document. You can include a bibliography database, \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Known under the name \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset BibTeX-database \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset which is explained in the next subsection, or you can insert the bibliography manually, using the paragraph environment \family sans Bibliography \family default , which was described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Biblio_environment" \end_inset . If you want anything other than numerical citations that are used in this document, like author-year cituations, then you must \emph on \emph default use a bibliography database. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection The Bibliography Environment \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Within the \family sans Bibliography \family default environment, every paragraph begins with a gray bibliography box labeled with 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, our second entry in the bibliography is a book about LaTeX and we used \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset latexcompanion \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , a short form of its title, as key. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can refer to the key of a bibliography entry using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Citation \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/dialog-show-new-inset_citation.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset . A citation reference box is inserted and a citation window will appear in which you can select one or more keys in the available key list. The citation reference box will be labeled with the referenced key. When you click on the box, the citation window appears and you can change the reference. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Citation references appear in the output as number of the bibliography entry with surrounding brackets. If you set a \family sans Label \family default for the entry, the label will appear instead of the number. Here two examples; the first without a label, the second with the label \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Credits \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset : \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Have a look at the \family sans LaTeX Companion Second Edition \family default : \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "latexcompanion" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The LyX-Team members are listed in the Credits: \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "lyxcredit" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Bibliography databases (BibTeX) \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Bibliography !

BibTeX \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Bibliography-databases" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Bibliography databases are useful if you use the same bibliography in different documents. \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout They are also useful simply for keeping a database of articles and notes concerning them. Most of the database programs mentioned below allow you to store annotations and reviews along with bibliographical information. \end_layout \end_inset It also makes it very easy to have a uniform layout for all bibliography entries. You can collect the bibliography of all relevant books and articles of your working field in a database. This database can be used for different documents, and only the entries cited in a particular document will appear in the bibliography list for that document. This relieves you of the need to keep track of which articles and books you have cited. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The database is a text file with the file extension \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans .bib \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , containing the bibliography in a special format. The format is explained in LaTeX books ( \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "Mittelbach,Kopka,Lamport" \end_inset ). The file can be created using any text editor, but normally one uses a special program to create and edit the entries in the database. A list of such programs is maintained on the LyX Wiki at \begin_inset Flex URL status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Programs \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To use a database, use the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator List \family default / \family sans TOC\SpecialChar \menuseparator BibT \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout {} \end_layout \end_inset eX \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Bibliography \family default . A grey box will be inserted and a window appears. In this window you can load one or more databases and a style file. The option \family sans Add bibliography to TOC \family default adds a table of contents entry for the bibliography. In the \family sans Content \family default drop box you can select what part of the database should be output. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The style file is a text file with the file extension \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset \family sans .bst \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset that controls how the bibliography entries will appear. Your LaTeX distribution should provide several of these, and many publishers provide their own style files, so that you don't have to take care of the layout. It is of course possible to write your own style file, but this is something for experts. \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout For informations how this is done, have a look at \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset href LatexCommand href target "http://www.ctan.org/get/biblio/bibtex/contrib/doc/btxhak.pdf" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Inserting a citation reference works as described in the previous section. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To generate the bibliography from a database, LyX uses the program BibTeX. This program can be controlled with options that you can add in LyX's preferenc es dialog under \family sans Outputs\SpecialChar \menuseparator LaT \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout {} \end_layout \end_inset eX \family default in the \family sans BibT \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout {} \end_layout \end_inset eX \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset command \family default field. Before adding options, it is strongly recommended to read the manual of \family sans BibTeX \family default \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "BibTeX" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard When you select the option \family sans Sectioned bibliography \family default in the \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings \family default dialog, it is possible to have multiple and sectioned bibliographies. This and more specials are explained in detail in section \emph on Customizing Bibliographies \emph default \emph on with BibTeX \emph default of the \emph on Extended \emph default manual. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard We use two bibliographies in this document to show the difference between the two methods of creating them. As you can see, the bibliography that is created from a database lists only the database entries that are referenced in the document. We used the style file \family sans alphadin.bst \family default to get the complicated German reference key scheme in the bibliography. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Bibliography layout \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Bibliography ! Layout \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In the citation reference dialog you can set a special citation format. For this feature you need to enable the option \family sans Natbib \family default in the \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings \family default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Document ! Settings \end_layout \end_inset dialog under \family sans Bibliography \family default . Setting a citation style for a reference will overwrite the default. For the global citation format use the BibTeX style files as explained in the previous section. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can also set text, that should appear before or after a citation reference, in the citation reference window. Here an example where we set the text \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Chapter \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 3 \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset to appear after the reference: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Have a look at \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite after "Chapter 3" key "latexcompanion" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Section Index \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Index generation \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Index" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard An index entry is created if you use the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Index \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Entry \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/index-insert.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset . A gray box labeled \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans Idx \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset is inserted containing the text that appears in the index. The word where the cursor is in or the currently highlighted text is proposed by LyX as index entry. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard We give a short overview of the index commands in the next subsections. For a detailed description of LaTeX's index mechanism, have a look at one of the LaTeX books \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "latexcompanion,latexguide,latexbook" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can change index entries by clicking on the index box. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The index list is inserted to the document with the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator List \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset / \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset TOC\SpecialChar \menuseparator Index \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset List \family default . A light blue box labeled \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans Index \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset will show the place where the index is printed in the output. The index list box is not clickable like other LyX-boxes. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Grouping Index Entries \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Index ! Grouping \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Index entries are often grouped to offer the reader a fast search in the index. We want to group for example the index entries for itemized and enumerated lists under the entry \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Lists \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . First we create the entry \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Lists \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Lists" \end_inset . In the text field for the itemized list index entry in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Itemize" \end_inset , we insert the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold Lists ! Itemize \end_layout \begin_layout Standard and the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold Lists ! Enumerate \end_layout \begin_layout Standard for the enumerated list in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Enumerate" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The exclamation mark \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset ! \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset marks the grouping levels. You can have three levels; every index level is indented a bit more. An index entry for the higher levels is not required. If we don't have an index entry for \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Lists \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , it will be printed anyway, but without a page number. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Page Ranges \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Index ! Page ranges \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Normally an index entry will appear with the page number of the indexed section. But sometimes you want to index more pages under the same entry. E.g if we want to index the paragraph environments, we create an index entry in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Paragraph-Environments" \end_inset with the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold Paragraph environments|( \end_layout \begin_layout Standard and another entry at the end of section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:LyX-Code" \end_inset with the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold Paragraph environments|) \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The commands \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \series bold |( \series default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset and \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \series bold |) \series default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset respectively starts and ends the index range. You can also add the same index entry at different places in the document. They appear in the output under one entry with a comma separated list of the pages of the indexed document parts. An example is the index entry \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Document ! Settings \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Cross referencing \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Index ! Cross referencing \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard It is also possible to refer to another index entry. We referred for example in the index entry \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset GIF \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset (in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Image-Formats" \end_inset ) to the index entry \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Image formats \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset in the same section using the entry \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold GIF|see{Image formats} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Where the braces have to be inserted as TeX Code. The text within the braces is the referenced entry. The reference will appear in the output without a page number. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Index Entry Order \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Index ! Entry order \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can use accented characters in the index entry, but the entries might then not follow the rules for the index order. The index entries are sorted alphabetically, but LaTeX \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout The index generating is done in the background by an extra program, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Index-Program" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset doesn't know how to sort accents in different languages. We created as example the three dummy index entries \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset maison \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset maïs \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , and \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset maître \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . \begin_inset Index status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Dummy entries ! maïs \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Dummy entries ! maître \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Dummy entries ! maïs@maison \end_layout \end_inset They will be sorted in the order maïs, maître, maison, but we want the order maïs, maison, maître. To achieve this, we use the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold previous entry@current entry \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In our case we want to have \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset maison \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset after \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset maïs \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset and write therefore for the index entry of maison: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold maïs@maison \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The previous entry needn't to be a real existing entry, you can also use another word to tell LaTeX the entry order, see the next subsection for an example. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Index Entry Layout \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Index ! Entry layout \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can change the appearance of index entries via the text style dialog. \begin_inset Index status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Dummy entries ! \shape italic This is an italic dummy entry \end_layout \end_inset You can also format the page number using the character \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset | \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset followed by a LaTeX-command without a backslash. We can write for example \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold italic page number:|textit \end_layout \begin_layout Standard to get the page number in italic. \begin_inset Index status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Dummy entries ! italic page number:|textit \end_layout \end_inset Normally all LaTeX-commands begin with a backslash, but in this special case \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \series bold |command \series default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset means \series bold \backslash command{page \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset number} \series default . Have a look at section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:LaTeX-Syntax" \end_inset to learn more about the LaTeX-syntax. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold Note: \series default Formatting single index entries only works when you use the program \family sans makeindex \family default to generate the index, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Index-Program" \end_inset . If you use \family sans xindy \family default , however, this won't work for anything else than bold or italic text. This is because xindy requires to define semantic elements before they can be used, see \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite after "p. 678 ff." key "latexcompanion" \end_inset for details. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In general, we encourage you to not format page numbers directly as shown above. Instead of this, you should define a macro in the preamble and use that. Consider why you want some page numbers to be bold. Maybe you want all page references italic that refer to a definition of the indexed term, so that users can easily find definitions. If so, put the following in preamble \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash newcommand{ \backslash IndexDef}[1]{ \backslash textit{#1}} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard and write \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold my entry|IndexDef \end_layout \begin_layout Standard into the index entry. \begin_inset Index status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Dummy entries ! my entry|IndexDef \end_layout \end_inset The advantage is that, if you change your mind later or if your publisher request that definitions must not be italic but bold, you just need to change the macro in the preamble, not every single index entry. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can also change the layout for the whole index. E. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g. \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset we marked the index list box of this document as bold to get a bold font for all index entries. For more advanced task you have to set up a so-called \emph on Index Style File \emph default , see the \family sans makeindex \family default or \family sans xindy \family default documentation for details, \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "makeindex,xindy" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Index Program \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Index !

Both programs can be controlled by options that can be set in LyX's preferences dialog, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:LaTeX-settings" \end_inset . The available options are listed and explained in \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "makeindex,xindy" \end_inset . You can also specify there another program to generate the index. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family sans makeindex \family default is very old, not further developed and has many pitfalls. Most notably, it has been defined with nothing more than the English language in mind. So it fails at sorting correctly for anything else than an monolingual English text. We have shown above how to fix this sorting. However, if you are writing in another language and using Linux, consider to use \family sans xindy \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Section Nomenclature / Glossary \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Nomenclature \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Glossary|see \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset Nomenclature \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Nomenclature" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Sometimes you need to compile a list of symbols that are mentioned in your document with a brief explanation of them -- a so called nomenclature or glossary. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To be able to create nomenclatures, you need the LaTeX package \series bold nomencl \series default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout LaTeX-packages ! nomencl \end_layout \end_inset installed. You find it in the TeX Catalogue, \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "TeXCatalogue" \end_inset or in the package manager of your LaTeX-system. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A nomenclature entry is created if you place the cursor after a symbol entry and then use the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator \family default N \family sans omenclature \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Entry \family default or the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/nomencl-insert.png BoundingBox 0bp 5bp 20bp 20bp \end_inset . A gray box labeled \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans Nom \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset is inserted and a window pops up asking for the nomenclature entry. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A nomenclature entry consists of two main entries.

Sort order \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The nomenclature entries are sorted alphabetically by the LaTeX-code of the symbol definition. This leads to undesired results when you for example have symbols in formulas.

Then the nomenclature entry will be sorted by this entry and not the symbol definition. For the given example, you can insert \family typewriter sigma \family default to this field for the \begin_inset Formula $\sigma$ \end_inset , then \emph on a \emph default will be located before \begin_inset Formula $\sigma$ \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard For subgrouping and tips for using sort entries see the \series bold nomencl \series default documentation, \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "nomencl" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Nomenclature Options \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Nomenclature !

In this document the options \series bold intoc \series default and \series bold refpage \series default are used. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace bigskip \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can also use the first two options above only for certain nomenclature entries when you add one of the following commands as last entry to the \family sans Description \family default field in the nomenclature dialog: \end_layout \begin_layout Description \backslash nomrefeq Like the \series bold refeq \series default option \end_layout \begin_layout Description \backslash nomrefpage Like the \series bold refpage \series default option \end_layout \begin_layout Description \backslash nomrefeqpage Short notation of \series bold \backslash nomrefeq \backslash nomrefpage \end_layout \begin_layout Description \backslash nomnorefeq, \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \backslash nomnorefpage, \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \backslash nomnorefeqpage Turns off the corresponding options \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Printing the Nomenclature \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Nomenclature !

A light blue box labeled \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset \family sans Nomenclature \family default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset will show the place where the nomenclature is printed in the output. Like the index list box, the nomenclature list box is not clickable. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In the printed output the title of the nomenclature appears as \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Nomenclature \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . If you are not happy with the name, you can change it by redefining the command \series bold \backslash nomname \series default in the preamble. For example, in order to change the name to \emph on List of Symbols \emph default , add the following line to the preamble: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family roman \series bold \backslash renewcommand{ \backslash nomname}{List of Symbols} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace defskip \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you are unhappy with the amount of space for symbols, you can alter it by adding the following line to the preamble: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family roman \series bold \backslash renewcommand{ \backslash nomlabelwidth}{width} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \family roman Where the width is a value with one of the units listed in Appendix \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "cha:Units-available-in" \end_inset .

Branches \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Branches" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Sometimes it is useful to hide some document parts in the output. For example a teacher who is setting an exam obviously doesn't want the pupils to see the answers, but having questions and answers in the same document will make the life of the markers of that exam much easier. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard For these cases LyX offers to put text into branches. The text will then only appear in the output when its branch is activated. To create a branch, go in the \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings \family default dialog to \family sans Branches \family default . The name of the branch, its activation state and the background color of the branches inside LyX can be specified in this dialog. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Text that should be in a branch is set into branch inset boxes. These boxes are inserted via the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Branch \family default where you can choose a branch. You can later change the branch of the boxes by right-clicking on them. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here is an example, where only the question text appears, the answer branch is deactivated and does therefore not appear in the output: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Branch Question status open \begin_layout Standard Question: Who was the first physics Nobel prize winner? \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Branch Answer status collapsed \begin_layout Standard Answer: Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace bigskip \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To use conditional output inside places where you cannot insert branch insets, like inside equations, you can code special LaTeX definitions for each branch. For example you can define for the question branch \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout For an introduction to the LaTeX-syntax, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:LaTeX-Syntax" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash newcommand{ \backslash question}[1]{#1} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash newcommand{ \backslash answer}[1]{} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard and for the answer branch \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash newcommand{ \backslash question}[1]{} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash newcommand{ \backslash answer}[1]{#1} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Branch Question status open \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset ERT status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash newcommand{ \backslash question}[1]{#1} \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash newcommand{ \backslash answer}[1]{} \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Branch Answer status collapsed \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset ERT status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash newcommand{ \backslash question}[1]{} \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash newcommand{ \backslash answer}[1]{#1} \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Now it is possible to use the commands \series bold \backslash question{\SpecialChar \ldots{} } \series default and \series bold \backslash answer{\SpecialChar \ldots{} } \series default to obtain conditional output. Here is an example formula where only the \series bold \backslash question \series default part appears: \begin_inset Formula \[ x^{2}-2x-2\Rightarrow\question{x_{1}}\answer{x_{2}}=1\question{+\sqrt{3}}\answer{-\sqrt{3}}.\] \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Inside math, the same effect can be achieved using math macros, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:math-macros" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Section PDF Properties \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:PDF-Properties" \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout PDF properties \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \family sans Document Settings \family default dialog provides under \family sans PDF Properties \family default to set up special options for the PDF output of your document. All options there are provided by the LaTeX-package \series bold hyperref \series default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout LaTeX-packages ! hyperref \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Using \series bold hyperref \series default will link all cross-references in the DVI- and PDF-output. This means that the reader of your document will be able to click on a table of contents entry or on a reference and he is shown the referenced document part. You can specify in the dialog tab \family sans Hyperlinks \family default how the links will look like and if links for bibliographical backreferences are created. The backreferences will appear in the bibliography behind the different entries, showing where in the document the entry is referenced. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In the dialog tab \family sans Bookmarks \family default you can set if PDF-bookmarks should be created for every section of your document to make it easier for readers to navigate through the document. You can decide if the bookmarks should be numbered like your document sections or not. With the open bookmarks level you can specify what sectioning level should be displayed in the bookmarks when opening the PDF. For example level \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 2 will display all sections and subsections, while level \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 1 will only display the sections. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The header informations in the dialog tab \family sans General \family default are saved together with the PDF as file properties. Many programs are able to extract these informations to e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g. \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset automatically recognize who is the author and what is the PDF about. This is very useful to sort, classify, or use PDFs for bibliography issues. When the option \family sans Automatic fill header \family default is set, LyX tries to extract the header informations from your document title and author settings. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The option \family sans Load in fullscreen mode \family default will open the PDF in fullscreen mode, which is useful for presentations. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard PDF properties are also used in this document. When you look in its document settings, you can see that some additional \series bold hyperref \series default options are used. For an explanation of them we refer to the hyperref manual \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "hyperref" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Section TeX Code and the LaTeX Syntax \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:TeX-Code" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection TeX Code Boxes \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout TeX Code \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:TeX-Code-Boxes" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As LyX uses LaTeX in the background, it supports many LaTeX commands and constructs, but not all. LaTeX contains of hundreds of packages which provide different commands. Every time packages are updated and new ones added. This has the advantage that you can typeset nearly everything as there is for every problem a LaTeX-package. But LyX can of course not be up to date and support all packages and their commands. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard But don't worry, you can use any LaTeX-command directly in LyX inside the TeX Code box. An TeX Code box is created by the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator TeX \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Code \family default or by the toolbar button \begin_inset Graphics filename ../images/ert-insert.png \end_inset . The box can be opened by left-clicking and closed by right-clicking on it. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can insert complete or incomplete commands as TeX Code. Incomplete means that the command argument can be Standard LyX text. For example you want to draw a frame around a word and uses therefore the LaTeX-command \series bold \backslash fbox \series default , you can write the command part \series bold \backslash fbox{ \series default in a TeX Code box before the word and the closing brace \series bold } \series default in a second TeX Code box behind the word. The word between the two TeX Code boxes is then the argument as it is in the following example: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Graphics filename clipart/ERT.png scale 89 \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard gives \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This is a line with a \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash fbox{ \end_layout \end_inset framed \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset word. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold Note: \series default At the end of LaTeX-commands without parameters, you have to insert a space to let LaTeX know that the command is finished. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Short Introduction to the LaTeX Syntax \begin_inset OptArg status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout The LaTeX Syntax \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout LaTeX Syntax \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:LaTeX-Syntax" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard When you write larger documents or books, you will need to know something about the LaTeX-commands that LyX uses in the background. Because LaTeX is based on commands, you can \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset program \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset your text. This has the advantage that the layout of the document can be changed at every time if you know the right commands. E.g. imagine you have to write a manual for a product and the deadline is at the end of the day. Your boss just has complimented you for your good work but wants to have all caption labels bold. But you have over hundred figure and table captions with non-bold labels in your manual. Of course it's impossible to change all caption labels by hand in one day. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Now LaTeX comes into play. As written above, for every problem exists a LaTeX-package. First you have to find out which and therefore look in the LaTeX package database, \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "Catalogue" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As result you know that the package \series bold caption \series default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout LaTeX-packages ! caption \end_layout \end_inset is what you need. To use a package, you have to load it in the document preamble (menu \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings \family default ) with the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash usepackage[options]{package name} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard All LaTeX commands begin with a backslash, the command argument is set within two braces, and the options are set within two brackets. Note that not all commands have an argument and options. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In your case the package name is \series bold caption \series default . After a look in the documentation of the package, you know that the option \series bold labelfont=bf \series default will change the font of all caption labels to bold. So you add the command \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash usepackage[labelfont=bf]{caption} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard to the preamble and the problem is solved. \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout For more commands provided by the \series bold caption \series default package, have a look at its documentation, \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "caption" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Note that some document classes have built-in solutions for well known problems like your case. For example if you use a \family sans koma-script \family default class, you don't need the package \series bold caption \series default , you can instead write \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash setkomafont{captionlabel}{ \backslash bfseries} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard in the preamble and the problem is solved. So if you plan to write a large document, you should have a look at the documentation of the document class you want to use. ( \series bold \backslash setkomafont \series default is an example for a command with more than one argument.) \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Commands in the preamble affects the whole document, while commands in the text affects only the text after the command or only the text used as command argument. To insert a LaTeX-command in text, use the TeX Code box as described in the previous section. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you want to learn more about LaTeX and its syntax, have a look at the LaTeX-books \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "latexcompanion,latexguide" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Section Previewing Snippets of your Document \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Previewing-snippets-of" \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Instant preview \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Document !

Previews of an already loaded document are \emph on not \emph default generated just by selecting the \family sans Instant \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset preview \family default check box, you have to reopen the documents to activate the previews. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX will generate previews of math insets. It will also generate previews of included insets if you select the \family sans Show \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset preview \family default check box in the insert dialog. This is useful if you wish to generate a preview of a LaTeX figure, for example. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To get previews working, you need the LaTeX package \series bold preview-latex \series default (on some systems named simply \series bold preview \series default ) installed. In case it is not already installed, you find it in the TeX Catalogue, \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "TeXCatalogue" \end_inset or in the package manager of your LaTeX-system. You obtain prettier results if you install the program \family typewriter pnmcrop \family default from the \family typewriter netpbm \family default package; for LyX on Windows this program is automatically installed together with LyX. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset VSpace bigskip \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can furthermore preview the LaTeX source of the whole document or parts of it. Use the menu \family sans View\SpecialChar \menuseparator View \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Source \family default and a window will be shown where you can see the LaTeX-source code. The window shows the source of the whole paragraph where the cursor is currently in. You can also select document parts in LyX's main window, then only this selection (when it is more than one paragraph) is shown as source code. To view the whole document as source, enable the corresponding option in the source view window. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Spell Checking \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Spellchecking" \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Spell checking \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX itself has no built-in spell checker. Rather it uses one of the external programs \family typewriter aspell \family default , \family typewriter ispell \family default , \family typewriter hspell \family default , or \family sans pspell \family default as backend. This section assumes you have already installed and set up one of these programs. \family typewriter aspell \family default can be seen as successor of \family typewriter ispell \family default , so that it is recommended to use aspell. \family sans hspell \family default is a Hebrew spell-checker. The used spell checker ind its settings are specified in LyX's preferences under \family sans Language Settings \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard For LyX on Windows, the selection box for the spell checking program is greyed out in the preferences dialog because only \family sans aspell \family default can be used. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The menu \family sans Tools\SpecialChar \menuseparator Spellchecker \family default starts the spell checking beginning from 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 text scrolled so that it is visible. In the \family sans spell checker \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 to the \family sans Replace \family default field, double-click invokes directly the replacement. Unknown but correctly typed words can be added to the personal dictionary. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard By default, the used dictionary file is determined by the document language that is set in the \family sans Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator Settings \family default dialog. If you do not have a dictionary for the document language, spell checking will bring an error message. In this case, you can specify another dictionary file in the dialog by specifying a different \family sans Alternative language \family default in preferences dialog. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard After a spell check you'll informed about the number of checked words. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection* Limitations \end_layout \begin_layout Standard It is not possible to change the spelling of a particular word globally, rather than having to change the spelling separately for each occurrence of the word.

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. The preferences dialog allows you to choose up to two keyboard mappings, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Keyboard-Map" \end_inset . You can choose primary and secondary keyboard languages and then select which one you want to use. \end_layout \begin_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.

It is recommended to use the default unless your know what you are doing. \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout When you want one of the following drivers \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset dvi2ps, dvialw, dvilaser, dvitops, psprint, pubps, ln \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset you first have to activate them in your LaTeX distribution, see sec. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset 2 in \begin_inset CommandInset href LatexCommand href target "http://tug.ctan.org/get/macros/latex/required/graphics/grfguide.pdf" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset Specifying a master document is necessary when the current document is a child or subdocument. More about master and child documents is explained in the section \emph on Child Documents \emph default of the \emph on Embedded Objects \emph default manual. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Fonts \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The document font settings are described in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Fonts-and-Text" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Text Layout \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can specify if paragraphs should be separated by indentations or vertical skips. The line spacing and the number of text columns can here also be specified. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Note that LyX won't show two columns or the set up line spacing on screen. That's impractical, often unreadable, and not part of the WYSIWYM concept. However, it will be as you specified it in the output. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The listings settings are explained in the corresponding section in the \emph on Embedded Objects \emph default manual. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Page Layout \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A description of this menu is given in section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Paper-Size,-Orientation," \end_inset and \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Document-Layout" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Page Margins \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here you can adjust the paper margins, see section \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sub:Margins" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection Language \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Language ! Encoding \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The document language and quote styles are set here. The encoding specifies how the document content is exported to LaTeX (the LyX file is always encoded in utf8). All characters that cannot be encoded using the specified encoding will be exported as LaTeX-commands (this can fail if a LaTeX-command is not known for a particular character). \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout The known commands are defined in a text file. You can add commands for unknown symbols to that file yourself, see the \emph on Customization \emph default manual for details. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you use the option \family sans Language Default \family default , LyX determines the encoding of a text part from the language of this text. If the document contains text in more than one language you may get more than one encoding in the LaTeX file. If you do not use this option then the complete document will always use exactly one encoding. Checking this option is the preferred setting unless you use \family sans XeTeX \family default \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout XeTeX is a TeX typesetting engine, an alternative for LaTeX. It natively supports Unicode while its input file is assumed to be in UTF-8 encoding. More about using LyX with XeTeX can be found in \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "XeTeX" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset (see below). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LyX also supports Unicode output, which is particularly useful if you need lots of special symbols or non-alphabetic scripts, respectively. If you want to use this (and your LaTeX installation supports Unicode, for that matter), choose one of the four utf8 variants from the list below. Unfortunately the Unicode support of standard LaTeX is quite incomplete, so it is not uncommon that a file with lots of Unicode symbols works fine with \family sans Language Default \family default (when LyX uses it's list of known LaTeX-commands), but does not work with a fixed utf8 encoding (when the list of known LaTeX-commands is not used, because all Unicode symbols can be encoded in utf8). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here is a list with the important encodings: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Language \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Default \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (no \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset inputenc) Same as \family sans Language Default \family default , but the LaTeX-package \series bold inputenc \series default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout LaTeX-packages ! inputenc \end_layout \end_inset is not used. When using this, you probably need to load some additional packages manually in the preamble and specify the used encoding for text parts in foreign languages in TeX code. \end_layout \begin_layout Description ASCII the ASCII encoding, covers only plain English (7-bit ASCII). LyX converts all other characters into LaTeX commands, which may result in a big file when lots of LaTeX-commands are needed. \end_layout \begin_layout Description Arabic \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (CP \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 1256) MS Windows code page for Arabic and Farsi \end_layout \begin_layout Description Arabic \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (ISO \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 8859-6) for Arabic and Farsi \end_layout \begin_layout Description Armenian \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (ArmSCII8) for Armenian \end_layout \begin_layout Description Baltic \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (CP \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 1257) MS Windows code page for Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian, the same as the ISO-8859-13 encoding \end_layout \begin_layout Description Baltic \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (ISO \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 8859-13) for Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian, a superset of the ISO-8859-4 encoding \end_layout \begin_layout Description Baltic \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (ISO \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 8859-4) (latin 4) for Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian, a subset of the ISO-8859-13 encoding \end_layout \begin_layout Description Central \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset European \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (CP \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 1250) MS Windows code page for ISO \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 8859-2 (latin2) \end_layout \begin_layout Description Central \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset European \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (ISO \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 8859-2) (latin 2) covers Albanian, Croatian, Czech, German, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, and Slovenian \end_layout \begin_layout Description Chinese \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (simplified) \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (EUC-CN) for simplified Chinese, used especially on UNIX OSes, since 2001 this encoding is officially replaced by the encoding GB18030, as GB18030 is not available for LaTeX you should try to use the encoding Unicode \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (CJK) \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (utf8) \end_layout \begin_layout Description Chinese \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (simplified) \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (GBK) for simplified Chinese, is the same as the Windows code page CP 936 except of the Euro currency sign, since 2001 this encoding is officially replaced by the encoding GB18030, as GB18030 is not available for LaTeX you should try to use the encoding Unicode \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (CJK) \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (utf8) \end_layout \begin_layout Description Chinese \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (simplified) \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (EUC-TW) for traditional Chinese \end_layout \begin_layout Description Cyrillic \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (CP \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 1251) MS Windows code page for Cyrillic \end_layout \begin_layout Description Cyrillic \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (ISO \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 8859-5) covers Belorussian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, and Ukrainian \end_layout \begin_layout Description Cyrillic \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (KOI8-R) standard Cyrillic especially for Russian \end_layout \begin_layout Description Cyrillic \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (KOI8-U) Cyrillic for Ukrainian \end_layout \begin_layout Description Cyrillic \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (pt \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 154) Cyrillic for Kazakh \end_layout \begin_layout Description Greek \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (ISO \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 8859-7) for Greek \end_layout \begin_layout Description Hebrew \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (CP \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 1255) MS Windows code page for Hebrew, a superset of the ISO-8859-8 encoding \end_layout \begin_layout Description Hebrew \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (ISO \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset 8859-8) for Hebrew \end_layout \begin_layout Description Japanese \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (CJK) \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset (EUC-JP) EUC-JP encoding for Japanese, uses the LaTeX-package \series bold CJK \series default \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout LaTeX-packages !

The name of language bind-files begin with a language code, e.g. \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset pt \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset for Portuguese. If you use LyX in a certain language, LyX will try to use the appropriate bind-file. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Some bind-files, like \emph on math.bind \emph default , have only a small scope.

Editing \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To add new or modify existing keybindings to your own taste you can use the table in the dialog that lists all LyX-functions and the bound shortcuts. To find functions easily, they are grouped by categories and the dialog provides the field \family sans Show key-bindings containing \family default . In this field you can insert a keyword for a function you want to edit. Insert there for example as keyword \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset paste \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset and you get the 4 different existing shortcuts for the 3 different functions that contain \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset paste \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset in their name. As you can see, one function can have more than one shortcut. All LyX-functions are also listed in the file \emph on LyX Functions \emph default that you find in the \family sans Help \family default menu. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To add e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g. \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset the shortcut \family sans M-q \family default for the function \family sans textstyle-apply \family default , select the function and press the \family sans Modify \family default button. A dialog pops up where you can add the shortcut by using it. So press M-q to define the shortcut. Modifying an existing shortcut is done the same way. You can also bind multiple functions to one shortcut by modifying an existing binding and adding the different function names as semicolon separated list. LyX will then use the first function that is enabled in the current document part. The binding for the function \family sans command-alter \family default is an example for this. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Alternatively you can also edit shortcuts by modifying bind-files with a text editor. The syntax of the entries is: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \series bold \backslash bind \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset key combination \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset LyX-function \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection Keyboard \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset / \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset Mouse \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:Keyboard-Map" \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Keyboard Map \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Index status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Settings !
