Apakah \SpecialChar LyX
?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
adalah suatu sistem pengaturan dokumen yang digunakan untuk menyiapkan
manuskrip makalah, buku, surat bisnis, proposal, juga dapat digunakan untuk
menulis puisi.
\SpecialChar LyX
tidak seperti
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
pengolah kata
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
lainnya.
\SpecialChar LyX
menggunakan paradigma bahasa perubahan sebagai inti dari gaya penyuntingan,
yaitu apabila anda menulis judul bab, maka anda hanya perlu menandainya
sebagai
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Bab
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, tidak perlu menyatakan
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Huruf Tebal, ukuran 17
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
pt, rata kiri, jarak ke baris berikutnya 5
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
mm
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\SpecialChar LyX
yang akan mengatur semuanya itu.
Anda hanya perlu memikirkan tentang isi dan konsep, bukan bagaimana pengaturan
penulisannya.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Bagaimana Tampilan \SpecialChar LyX
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Seperti umumnya aplikasi program lain, \SpecialChar LyX
mempunyai kotak menu utama di bagian
atas jendela kerja.
Dibagian bawahnya ada kotak bantuan yang berisi satu kotak pilihan serta
berbagai tombol bantuan.
Selain itu, ada gulungan vertikal dan area kerja utama untuk menyunting
dokumen.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Ada satu hal yang perlu anda ketahui, anda tidak akan menemukan gulungan
horisontal.
Hal ini bukanlah karena kutu program atau fitur yang terlupakan, tetapi
merupakan kesengajaan.
Teks yang ditulis dalam area kerja \SpecialChar LyX
akan selalu diteruskan di baris bawahnya
apabila melewati batas jendela kerja.
Oleh karena itu, \SpecialChar LyX
tidak memerlukan gulungan horisontal, cukup menggunakan
gulungan vertikal.
Mungkin ada tiga alasan mengapa anda masih memerlukan gulungan horisontal.
Yang pertama adalah apabila anda mempunyai gambar yang berukuran besar.
Untuk mengatasi hal ini, yang anda perlu lakukan adalah mengatur skala
gambar di \SpecialChar LyX
agar bisa ditampilan seluruhnya di area kerja \SpecialChar LyX
.
Alasan yang kedua dan ketiga adalah berkaitan dengan tabel dan persamaan
yang melebihi area kerja.
Untuk tabel, anda bisa menggunakan tombol panah untuk menggeser kursor
dalam tabel pada arah horisontal.
Namun demikian, hal ini belum dapat dilakukan untuk persamaan yang panjang
dan melebihi area kerja.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Penjelasan ringkas tentang semua menu \SpecialChar LyX
serta tombol bantuan yang ada, silahkan
membaca di Lampiran
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

Hampir semua menu dapat dipahami dengan sendirinya dari nama menu.

BANTUAN
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Bantuan yang disediakan adalah dalam bentuk buku panduan \SpecialChar LyX
.
Anda dapat membaca

Caranya sangat mudah, dari menu

Pengaturan \SpecialChar LyX
Dasar
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "sec:Basic-LyX-Setup"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Ada beberapa fitur \SpecialChar LyX
dapat diatur dari dalam \SpecialChar LyX
, tanpa melakukan perubahan
atau menyunting secara langsung pada berkas konfigurasinya.
\SpecialChar LyX
mampu memeriksa sistem anda untuk melihat perangkat lunak, class dokumen
\SpecialChar LaTeX
, serta paket \SpecialChar LaTeX
yang tersedia.
Dengan kemampuan ini, \SpecialChar LyX
menggunakannya untuk menentukan pengaturan bawaan
yang ada dalam
\family sans
Preferensi
\family default
\begin_inset Index idx
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Preferensi
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
Walaupun pengaturan konfigurasi bawaan sudah dilakukan ketika proses instalasi
\SpecialChar LyX
, anda masih mempunyai keleluasaan untuk menambah program tambahan secara
lokal, misalnya \SpecialChar LaTeX
class, yang sebelumnya belum dikenal oleh \SpecialChar LyX
.
Untuk memaksa \SpecialChar LyX
untuk memeriksa ulang sistem anda, maka anda perlu menggunakan

\begin_layout Standard
Anda dapat menyunting dokumen dalam \SpecialChar LyX
tanpa instalasi \SpecialChar LaTeX
, namun demikian anda
tidak akan bisa melihat atau mebuat PDF atau mencetak dokumen tanpa \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
Apabila dokumen anda menggunakan DocBook, maka anda akan dapat menghasilkan
PDF atau yang setara, selain itu semua dokumen dalam DocBook akan mempunyai
keluaran sebagai plain text atau XHTML.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Beberapa class dokumen menggunakan kombinasi class \SpecialChar LaTeX
atau DocBook atau paket
\SpecialChar LaTeX
.
Anda dapat menggunakan class dokumen tersebut walaupun anda tidak memiliki
berkas yang seharusnya sudah dipasang.
Tentu saja anda tidak dapat melihat hasil keluaran tanpa semua berkas terpasang
di sistem anda.

Seperti pengolah kata modern lainnya, operasi penyuntingan dengan potong
dan tempel dalam \SpecialChar LyX
dapat dipraktekkan untuk teks, berupa karakter, kata,
maupun keseluruhan halaman atau bahkan lebih dari satu halaman.
Pada empat subbab berikut akan menjelaskan fitur penyuntingan yang ada
dalam \SpecialChar LyX
dan bagaimana memanfaatkannya.
Kita akan memulai dari potong dan tempel.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Seperti yang anda perkirakan, menu
\family sans
Suntingan
\family default
dan kotak bantuan standar menyediakan perintah potong dan tempelkan serta
fitur suntingan lainnya.
Beberapa perintah suntingan perlu pembahasan khusus sehingga dikelompokkan
dalam pembahasan subbab berikutnya.
Perintah suntingan utama adalah:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize

Tiga perintah suntingan yang pertama dapat dipahami dari nama perintahnya
sendiri.
Hanya ada beberapa catatan: apabila anda memilih dan menandai teks di dokumen
anda, maka secara otomatis akan tersimpam di papan klip.
Tombol
\family sans
Delete
\family default
dan
\family sans
Backspace
\family default
juga berfungsi sebagai perintah
\family sans
Potong
\family default
.
Selain itu yang paling penting, jika anda memilih dan menandai teks, harap
hati-hati: jika anda menekan salah satu tombol, maka \SpecialChar LyX
akan menghapus teks
yang anda pilih tadi dan mengganti dengan dengan huruf atau karakter yang
anda tekan.
Untuk mengembalikannya, anda perlu melakukan perintah
\family sans

agar teks dikembalikan seperti semula.

\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection

The Outliner
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\lang english
The Outline was known in earlier versions of \SpecialChar LyX
as the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
TOC
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, since its original purpose was to display the document's table of contents.
The Outline has become much more powerful now, however.
In the pull-down box at the top of the outline window, you can choose between
several different lists, including other TOC-like objects, such as lists
of tables and figures, but also lists of footnotes, or labels and cross-referen
ces (see
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand formatted
reference "sec:Cross-References"
\end_inset
), or notes, or citations (see
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand formatted
reference "sec:Bibliography"
\end_inset
).
Clicking on any of these will take you to the corresponding object in your
document.
The Outline has become much more powerful now, however.
In the pull-down box at the top of the outline window, you can choose between

ces (see
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand formatted

\end_inset
), or notes, or of citations (see
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand formatted
reference "sec:Bibliography"
\end_inset
).
Clicking on any of these will take you to the corresponding object in your
document.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\lang english
Right-clicking on elements in the Outline will in many cases open a context
menu that will allow for direct modification of those elements.
For example, with citations, the context menu allows you to open the citation
dialog and to modify the citation.
Right-clicking a change will allow you to accept or reject it.
And so on.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\lang english
The `Filter' field at the top allows you to restrict which entries appear
in the Outline.
For example, if you are displaying the list of Labels and References and
wish to see only references to subsections, you can enter the text
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
sub:
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the filter, and only entries containing that text will be displayed.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\lang english
At the bottom of the outline are several buttons and the like that allow
you further to control the display.
The
\family sans
Sort
\family default
option sorts the current list alphabetically.
Otherwise, the elements appear in the order in which they occur in the
document.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 \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.
Finally, the slider at the left can be used to open the Outline to a given
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
depth
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
It is best just to experiment with it to see how it works.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\lang english
The
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "reload"
\end_inset
button refreshes the TOC (though this should not usually be necessary).
Next to it are buttons that allow you to change the position of sections
in your document.
The
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "outline-down"
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "outline-up"
\end_inset
buttons move sections up and down in the document.
So, for example, you can move section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
2.5 before section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
2.4 or after section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
2.6.
\SpecialChar LyX
will then automatically renumber the sections to the new order.
With the buttons
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "outline-out"
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "outline-in"
\end_inset
(or the corresponding key bindings
\family sans
Tab
\family default
and
\family sans
Shift-Tab
\family default
) you can change the level of sections.
So you can for example make section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
2.5 chapter
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
3 or to subsection
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
2.4.1.

Overview
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are four standard document classes in \SpecialChar LyX
.
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 \SpecialChar LyX
only uses if you have installed
the corresponding \SpecialChar LaTeX
class files, though most \SpecialChar LaTeX
distributions will include
many of these.
Here are some of the classes.
The full list with detailed explanations can be found in chapter
\emph on
Special Document Classes

\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.

Here, we will settle with a list of some of the common properties of all
of the document classes.

g.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
the
\family sans
iop-article
\family default
template, they receive a warning saying that the document requires files
that are not installed to produce output.
So it seems that something is wrong.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
But nothing is wrong.
\SpecialChar LyX
includes many more document classes than you will ever need to use, and
some of them, like
\family sans
IOP
\family default
, are highly specialized.\SpecialChar LyX
tries to support as many different types of documents
as possible, and it includes almost one hundred different layout files,
with a growing number.
No \SpecialChar LaTeX
distribution will install by default all files that might be needed
by some document class.
There are just too many of them.
That is why some of the document classes are unavailable.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If there is a document class you would like to use that is marked as `Unavailabl
e', you need to install the appropriate package files.
The easiest way to find out which files you need to install is to use that
document class for a new file.
\SpecialChar LyX
will display a dialog that will list the missing files.

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Although \SpecialChar LyX
provides support for many different sorts of documents, it does
not include support for every document class people might want to use.
For example, many universities provide \SpecialChar LaTeX
class files to be used for dissertation
s submitted to those universities.
The \SpecialChar LyX
team cannot write layout files to support every one of these.
There are too many.
Fortunately, users can write their own layout files, and many users have
done so.

Modules load additional features that are not by default available in the
chosen document class.
For example you might want to write Braille (embossed printing) in a document.
This is not available in any document class, so you have to load the correspond
ing module in the

Highlighting a module in the dialog will bring up a description of the
module.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Some modules require \SpecialChar LaTeX
packages that are not always installed by default.
\SpecialChar LyX
will warn you if you do not have the needed package.
You can still use the module while editing your file, but you will not
be able to export to PDF or print your document, since \SpecialChar LyX
will not be able
to compile the \SpecialChar LaTeX
file without the missing package.
If you want to be able to produce output, then you need to install the
missing package and then reconfigure \SpecialChar LyX

Modules are to \SpecialChar LyX
much as packages are to \SpecialChar LaTeX
: They are intended to be used in
a variety of different documents, and if you often find yourself needing
the same sort of thing in different documents, you should consider writing
a module for this purpose.
Sometimes, however, a particular document has very special needs, and you
find yourself wanting a specific inset or character style, but only that
one time.
You want something that is like a document's own \SpecialChar LaTeX

Important Note
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you change a document class, \SpecialChar LyX
has to convert
\emph on
everything
\emph default
into the new class.
That includes the paragraph environments.
Some paragraph environments are standard, in so far as 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, \SpecialChar LyX
will mark the
paragraphs whose styles it no longer understands as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
unknown
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
The name of the style is retained, in case you should want to go back to
the old class.
But these paragraphs will be output with no special formatting, so you
will either need to create a new style yourself or else to convert these
paragraphs manually to a style present in your new document class.

\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.
\SpecialChar 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 \SpecialChar LyX
.
As we said, you don't worry about how much space to add between what.
\SpecialChar LyX
takes care of that.
In fact, these pre-coded vertical spacings aren't a single number but a
range.
That way, \SpecialChar 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
\SpecialChar LaTeX
does this when \SpecialChar LyX
goes to produce a printable file.
\end_layout
\end_inset
However, pre-coded doesn't mean you can't change them.
\SpecialChar LyX
gives you the ability to globally change
\emph on
all
\emph default
of these pre-coded spacings.
We'll explain more later.

A paragraph environment is simply a

container

\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

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.
\SpecialChar 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

\begin_layout Itemize
\family sans

\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
keeps the old paragraph environment when you hit
\family sans
Return
\family default
, rather than resetting it to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
.
\SpecialChar 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
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
instead.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The default paragraph environment is
\family sans

\family default
for most classes.
It creates a plain paragraph.
If \SpecialChar 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

in a

\SpecialChar 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.
\SpecialChar LyX
does similar grouping:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\family sans

\begin_layout Standard
So, if you use the

Some section or chapter titles, such as this one, can get quite long.
This can cause trouble 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
\SpecialChar 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

Quotes and Poetry line spacing
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar 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.

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.

indented a bit more than the first.
Okay, so it's turned to prose and doesn't rhyme anymore.
So sue me.

In the

labels your list items with bullets or numbers, respectively.
In the
\family sans

\family default
and
\family sans
List
\family default
environments, \SpecialChar 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, \SpecialChar 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
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
to break paragraphs.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can nest lists of any type inside one another.
In fact, \SpecialChar 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
\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.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
\SpecialChar 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.
\SpecialChar 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.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
There are four different symbols for up to a four-fold nesting.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\SpecialChar 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.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
The label for the first level
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
is a large black dot, or bullet.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
The label for the second level is a dash.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
The label for the third is an asterisk.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\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

\family default
list.
You can customize these labels in the

The
\family sans

\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.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
The label type depends on the nesting depth.
\end_layout
\end_deeper

\SpecialChar LyX

\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Each new
\family sans

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:
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\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 \SpecialChar LyX
.
Here is how \SpecialChar 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.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
The second level uses lower case letters surrounded by parentheses.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
The third level uses lower-case Roman numerals followed by a period.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\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

It involves adding commands to the \SpecialChar LaTeX

not in \SpecialChar LyX

Instead, \SpecialChar LyX

Here's an example:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description

\SpecialChar LyX

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
With the first

word
\begin_inset Quotes erd

If you need to use more than one word in the label use a

Usage: You should use the

Use it when you need to make one word in particular stand out in the text

It's not a good idea to use a
\family sans

You're better off using

\begin_layout Standard
Like the

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 \SpecialChar 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

\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, \SpecialChar 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 \SpecialChar 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

To change the default width, select all items in the list.

The text in the box

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

multiple times instead.
The M is the widest character and is a standard unit of widths in \SpecialChar LaTeX

and
\family sans
Right
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

To use the letter class, you need to use specific paragraph environments

paragraph environments anywhere with no problem.
You can even nest them inside other environments, though you can't nest

Of course, you're not limited to using
\family sans

\begin_inset space ~

for letters only.

\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

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 \SpecialChar 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, \SpecialChar 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
paragraph-break
\family default
function, and the individual lines of an address are not paragraphs.
Thus, you have to use
\family typewriter

Academic Writing

\SpecialChar LyX

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 \SpecialChar 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

\family default
environment.
So, you will have to change the paragraph environment yourself when you
finish entering the abstract of your document.

Nesting

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When you first open a
\family sans

\family default

adds a large vertical space, followed by the heading
\begin_inset Quotes eld

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

\family default
environment.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There is another, usually better way to include references in your document
by using a Bib\SpecialChar TeX

The

It type-sets text in a typewriter-style font.
It also treats the

\end_layout
\end_inset
this is the only case in which you can type multiple whitespaces in \SpecialChar LyX
.
If you need to insert blank lines, you'll still need to use
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "newline-insert newline"
\end_inset
(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
\SpecialChar LyX

\family default
environment, you'll need to change the paragraph environment yourself.
Also, you can nest the
\family sans
\SpecialChar LyX

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are a few quirks with this environment:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize

You can't have an empty paragraph or an empty line.

\begin_layout Itemize

Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
treats text as a unified block with a particular context and specific propertie
s.
This allows you to create blocks that inherit 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

\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate

\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper

sublist – item #2
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
three
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You put a list inside 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 Info
type "icon"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "depth-decrement"
\end_inset
or the convenient key bindings
\family sans
Tab
\family default
and
\family sans
Shift-Tab
\family default
or
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-decrement"
\end_inset
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 \SpecialChar 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 \SpecialChar 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 things and you can also nest other
things inside 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:

Speaking of levels, \SpecialChar LyX
can perform up to a six-fold nesting.
In other words,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
level #6
\begin_inset Quotes erd

is the innermost possible depth.
Here's an example to illustrate what we mean:
\end_layout

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 item
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
A.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, we would get errors.

The best way to explain just what you can do with nesting is by illustration.

them.

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Example 1: The Six-fold Way and Mixed Nesting
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM

It's a

\family default
environment.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#2-a This is level #2.
We created it by using
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
followed by
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\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
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
twice in a row.
We could have also created it the same way as we did the previous level,
by hitting
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
followed by
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\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
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
, then
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
, 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
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#4-a This is level #4.
We hit
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
and changed the paragraph environment back to
\family sans
List
\family default
.
Remember — we can't nest anything inside 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
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

\begin_inset Separator parbreak

\begin_inset Separator parbreak

\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling

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
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
followed by a
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-decrement"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#4-b After another
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
followed by a
\begin_inset Info

arg "depth-decrement"
\end_inset
, 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.

\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

\family default
environment.
The example would have worked exactly the same.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection

\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
This is the \SpecialChar LyX

Now we'll hit
\family sans

\begin_inset Info

\end_inset

\family sans

\begin_inset Separator parbreak

\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
This is the
\family sans

\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Notice how the nested
\family sans

\family default
not only inherits its margins from its parent environment (
\family sans
\SpecialChar LyX

\family default
), but also inherits its font and spacing!
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
We ended this example by hitting
\family sans

\family default
.
After that, we needed to reset the paragraph environment to
\family sans

\family default
and reset the nesting depth by using
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-decrement"
\end_inset
once.

We're actually going to nest a bunch of these.
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
This is level #2.
We used
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
followed by
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
.
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?
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\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
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
, then
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
, then changing the environment to
\family sans

\family default
.)
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
Here's level #4, produced using
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
, then
\begin_inset Info

\end_inset
.
We'll do that again\SpecialChar ldots
\begin_inset Separator parbreak
\end_inset
\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.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
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 \SpecialChar LyX
use?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Oh, as if you couldn't guess by now, we're just using
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
to keep the current environment and depth but create a new item.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Let's use
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-decrement"
\end_inset
to decrease the depth after the next
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
This is level #4.
Look what type of label \SpecialChar LyX
is using!
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
This is level #3.
Even though we've changed levels, \SpecialChar 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 \SpecialChar LyX
\emph on
did
\emph default
reset the counter for the label.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
Another
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-decrement"
\end_inset
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
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-decrement"
\end_inset
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
\SpecialChar 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 \SpecialChar LyX
uses for an
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
item.
The same rule applies for the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment, as well.

Horizontal fills (HFills) are a special \SpecialChar LyX

An HFill is actually a variable length space, whose length always equals
the remaining space between the left and right margins.
If there is more than one HFill on a line, they divide the available space
equally between themselves.

Mr.
\begin_inset space ~

In our case insert a horizontal phantom at the beginning of the last two

into the phantom inset (note the space after

A phantom insets prints only the space of its content (like a placeholder).
That is why it is named
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
phantom
\begin_inset Quotes erd

The normal phantom ouputs the width and heigth of the content as space,
while the horizontal and vertical variant only outputs the corresponding

If you don't like the way \SpecialChar LaTeX

Normally this will not be necessary, because \SpecialChar LaTeX

Only if you use a lot of
\family sans

\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

\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 ~

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.
\SpecialChar 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.

Fonts ! Vector-
\end_layout
\end_inset
are fonts, built from outlines of the single glyphs (i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
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 where each pixel has to be very carefully computed
to provide a good image, it might be hard to provide a good rendering.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
That 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

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Fonts ! Bitmap-

\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 exist as fixed versions have
to be scaled by doubling pixels, and thus look bad.
\begin_inset Newline newline

Bitmap fonts are named
\family typewriter
Type
\begin_inset space ~

\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 needs fewer font size definitions for scalable fonts.
That's the reason why nearly all text rendering 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 \SpecialChar LyX
.
In \SpecialChar LyX
, you do things based on contexts, rather than focusing on typesetting
details.

\begin_layout Standard
Traditionally, \SpecialChar LaTeX
uses its own fonts.
That is to say, you cannot directly access the fonts installed on your
operating system, but you have to use specific fonts provided by your \SpecialChar LaTeX
distribution.
The reason is that \SpecialChar LaTeX
needs some extra information about the fonts, which
have to be provided by additional files and packages.
The downside of this is that your font choice is somewhat limited, compared
to usual word processors.
On the other hand this comes with the advantage that the provided fonts
are generally of very good quality, and that \SpecialChar LaTeX
files are very portable across
different machines.
Also, the range of fonts supported by traditional \SpecialChar LaTeX
was increased a lot
meanwhile so that you can find packages for many free and commercial fonts.
In \SpecialChar LyX
, only a subset of these are directly selectable via the user interface
(see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Document-Font"
\end_inset
for details).
However, all others are available if you enter the respective \SpecialChar LaTeX
code in
the document preamble (please refer to the documentation of your desired
font).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Furthermore, recent developments brought some new \SpecialChar LaTeX
engines that are also
able to directly access fonts that are installed for your operating system
(OS), namely Xe\SpecialChar TeX
and Lua\SpecialChar TeX
.
Both engines are now supported by \SpecialChar LyX
.
By using them, you can use theoretically any OpenType or TrueType font
that is installed on your system.
The next section describes how to use these OS fonts.

To get rid of pixelated fonts, you have to use a vector font.

\family sans

Therefore

Roman
\family default

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For the font size there are four possible values:
\family sans
default, 10
\family default
,
\family sans
11
\family default

\family sans

\family default
.
The size of
\family sans

\family default
depends on your \SpecialChar 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 \SpecialChar 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

As we've already seen, \SpecialChar LyX
automatically changes the character style for certain
paragraph environments.
\SpecialChar 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 Info
type "icon"
arg "font-noun"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
use the key binding
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "font-noun"
\end_inset
\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 default
is the original author of \SpecialChar 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 Info
type "icon"
arg "font-emph"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
using the keybindings
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "font-emph"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Normally the
\family sans

\family default
style is equivalent to an italic font but some document classes or \SpecialChar LaTeX

use a different font.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
We've been using the

Here's one more example:
\end_layout

There are always occasions when you will need to do some fine-tuning, so
\SpecialChar LyX
gives you a way to create a custom character style.
For example, an academic journal or a corporation may have a style sheet

Also, writers sometimes use a different font to offset a character's thoughts
from ordinary dialog.

The following example will show the difference:

\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\family sans
text without serifs
\family default
\begin_inset Newline newline

Serifs facilitate quick and easy reading.
These fonts are therefore used as default (named

\end_layout

This font type is therefore often used for headings and short texts.

We conclude with the same warning once again: Don't overuse the fonts.
They are, more often than not, a kludge and a bad substitute for good writing.

Overview
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Now that we have covered some of the basic features of document preparation
using \SpecialChar LyX
, you probably want to know how to print out your masterpiece.
Before we tell you that, we want to give you a quick explanation of what
goes on behind-the-scenes.
We cover this information in much greater detail in the
\emph on
Additional Features
\emph default
manual as well.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
uses the program \SpecialChar LaTeX
as its backend.
\SpecialChar LaTeX
is just a macro package for the \SpecialChar TeX
typesetting system, but to prevent confusion,
we'll only refer to \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
\SpecialChar LyX
is what you use to do your actual writing.
Then, \SpecialChar LyX
calls \SpecialChar LaTeX
to turn your writing into printable output.
This happens in two stages:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
First, \SpecialChar LyX
converts your document to a series of text commands for \SpecialChar 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, \SpecialChar LaTeX
uses the commands in the
\family typewriter
.tex
\family default
file to produce printable output.

device-independent

(DVI), because it is completely portable; you can move them from one machine
to another without needing to do any sort of conversion.
DVIs are used for quick previews and as pre-stage for other output formats,
like PostScript.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
DVI files do not contain images, they only link them.
So don't forget to deliver the images together with your DVIs.
Because the DVI-viewer has to convert the image in the background to make
it visible when you scroll the DVI, this can slow down your computer when
you view the DVI.
So we recommend to use PDF for files with many images.

PostScript was developed by the company
\family typewriter
Adobe
\family default
as a printer language.
The file contains therefore commands that the printer uses to print the
file.
PostScript can be seen as a
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\begin_inset Quotes erd

; you can calculate with it and draw diagrams and images.

Due to this ability, the files are often bigger than PDFs.

PostScript can only contain images in the format
\begin_inset Quotes eld

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 \SpecialChar 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
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
images in your document, \SpecialChar LyX
has to do 50
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
conversions whenever you view or export your document.
This will slow down your workflow with \SpecialChar LyX
drastically.
So if you plan to use PostScript, you can insert your images directly as
EPS to avoid this problem.

You can although use any other image format, because \SpecialChar 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.

Imagine that you are describing keybindings/shortcuts in your document

\SpecialChar LaTeX

When \SpecialChar LyX
calls \SpecialChar LaTeX

automatically
distinguishes between words, sentences, and abbreviations.
\SpecialChar LaTeX
then adds the

appropriate amount of space
\begin_inset Quotes erd

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.

not work in all cases.
If a

And here's an example of the algorithm going wrong:

\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, \SpecialChar 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 \SpecialChar LaTeX
governing page breaks, and some of those rules are there to
specifically prevent widows and orphans.
This is the advantage \SpecialChar LyX
has in using \SpecialChar LaTeX
as its backend.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There's no way we can go into how \SpecialChar TeX
and \SpecialChar LaTeX
decide to break a page, or how you
can tweak that behavior.

Each image can define a new group of image settings or join an existing

Images within such a group share their settings, so adjusting one image

need to manually change each of them.

them.

You can alter a table by clicking on it with the right mouse button, which
brings up the table dialog.
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

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In the tab

\begin_inset space ~

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

You can mark multiple cells of one row/column as a multicolumn/row cell
using the check box

This will merge the cells to

cell, spread over more than one column/row.
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:

\begin_layout Standard
A table cell can contain text, inline equations, a figure, or another table.
All these kinds of objects can be placed in the same cell.
Font sizes and shapes can also be altered.
But you can't put a special environment in a cell (like
\family sans
Section*
\family default
, etc.), nor set spacing options etc.
for the cell's paragraph.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To have multi-line entries in table cells, you have to declare a fixed width
for the column in the table dialog.
Your text is then automatically split into multiple lines and the cell
is enlarged vertically when the length of the text exceeds the given width.
An example:

Cutting and pasting between tables and table cells works reasonably well.
You can cut and paste even more than one row.
\begin_inset Foot

Note, that you cannot paste into a multicell selection because it would
not be clear what to do when pasting a single word in a selected 2×3.
\end_layout

Selection with the mouse or with

Shift

plus the arrow keys works as usual.
You can also copy and paste the entire table as a single unit by starting
the selection from outside the table.

Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A float is a block of text associated with some sort of label, which doesn't
have a fixed location.
It can
\begin_inset Quotes eld

float
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
forward or backward a page or two, to wherever it fits best.
\family sans

\family default
and
\family sans
Margin
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Notes
\family default
are also floats, because they can float to the next page when there are
too many notes on the page.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Floats make it possible to get a high quality layout.
Images and tables can be spread evenly over 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

To create a math formula, you can just click on the toolbar icon
\begin_inset Info

.
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

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Displayed formulas appear outside the text like if they were in an own paragraph

The best control over the cursor position within an existing formula is
achieved with the arrow keys.
\SpecialChar 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

\begin_inset Formula $\left(f\right)$
\end_inset

Pressing

For this reason, you have to be careful about using

It will be highlighted as with regular text selection.
Alternatively, you can select text with the mouse in the usual way.

You may want to create spaces that differ from the standard spacing that
\SpecialChar LaTeX
provides.
To do this, press
\begin_inset Info

arg "command-alternatives math-space ; space-insert protected"
\end_inset
or use the
\family sans
Math
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Panel
\family default
button
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "math-insert \\space"
\end_inset
.
This generates a small space, and shows a small marker on the screen.
For example, the sequence
\series bold
a Ctrl+Space b
\series default
:
\begin_inset Formula $a\,b$
\end_inset
appears in \SpecialChar 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 enter space again several times.
With every space enter the size will be changed.
Some markers for the space size appear red in \SpecialChar LyX
, because they are negative
spaces.
Here are two examples:

\begin_layout Standard
There are several brackets available through \SpecialChar LyX
.
For some purposes, using just the keys
\family typewriter
[]{}()|<>
\family default
should suffice.
But if you want to surround a large structure, like a matrix or a fraction,
or if you have several layers of brackets, it is better to use the math
toolbar delimiter icon
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "dialog-show mathdelimiter"
\end_inset
.
For example, if you construct the brackets around a matrix in this way:
\begin_inset Formula
\[
\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 2\\
3 & 4
\end{array}\right]
\]
\end_inset
it makes it easier to see the layers of parentheses.
Below, the expression on the left was entered using the delimiter icon
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "dialog-show mathdelimiter"
\end_inset
and the expression on the right was entered using the
\family typewriter
()
\family default
keys.
\begin_inset Formula
\[
\frac{1}{\left(1+\left(\frac{1}{1+\left(\frac{1}{1+x}\right)}\right)\right)}\qquad\qquad\frac{1}{(1+(\frac{1}{1+(\frac{1}{1+x})}))}
\]
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you use the delimiter icon, the parentheses, and other brackets from
that menu will automatically re-size to accommodate the size of what is
inside.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To construct brackets click on the button for the bracket you want on the
left side and right side.
If you use the option
\family sans
Keep
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
matched
\family default
, the selected bracket type will be used for the left and the right side.
The selection will be shown as \SpecialChar TeX
code.
If you want one side not to have a bracket, use
\family sans
(none)
\family default
.
It will appear in \SpecialChar LyX
with a dotted line, but nothing will be printed.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you want to place brackets around existing math structures, like a square
root, you can do so by first highlighting (selecting) the structure that
is to go inside the brackets.
Then choose the appropriate brackets for left and right and click on
\family sans
Insert
\family default
.
The most common bracket combinations (parentheses, square brackets, and
braces, on both sides) can be entered more quickly using keyboard shortcuts.
For example, to insert a pair of parentheses, select the structure and
enter
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "math-delim ( )"
\end_inset
.

\SpecialChar LyX
proposes a
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
for every column as default.
For example, the sequence
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
lcr
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
means that the first column will be left-justified, the second will be
centered, and the third column will be right-justified, because each letter
corresponds to the relevant column.
The result will look like this:
\begin_inset Formula
\[
\begin{array}{lcr}

column & has & has\,right\\
has\,left\,alignment & center\,alignment & alignment

When you use a typeface, a blue box is inserted in the formula.
Every character in this box will be printed in this typeface.
Pressing

Here is an example where
\begin_inset Quotes eld

Math ! Font sizes
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are four font styles (relative sizes) used in math-mode, which are
automatically chosen in most situations.
These are called
\family sans
textstyle
\family default
,
\family sans
displaystyle
\family default
,
\family sans
scriptstyle
\family default
, and
\family sans
scriptscriptstyle
\family default
.
For most characters,
\family sans
textstyle
\family default
and
\family sans
displaystyle
\family default
are actually the same size, but fractions, superscripts and subscripts,
and certain other structures, are set larger in
\family sans
displaystyle
\family default
.
Except for some operators, which resize themselves to accommodate various
situations, all text will be set in the styles that \SpecialChar LaTeX
thinks are appropriate.
These choices can be overridden by using the math panel button
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "math-insert \\style"
\end_inset
.
A box for the size will be created in which you can insert the math structure.
For example, you can set
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{1}{2}$
\end_inset
, which is normally in
\family sans
textstyle
\family default
, larger in
\family sans
displaystyle
\family default
:
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}$
\end_inset
.
The four styles are used in the following example:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula $displaystyle$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula ${\textstyle textstyle}$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula ${\scriptstyle scriptstyle}$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula ${\scriptscriptstyle scriptscriptstyle}$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
All these math-mode font sizes are relative so that if the whole math inset
is set in a particular size with the menu
\family sans
Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator
Text
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Style
\family default
, all sizes in the formula will be adjusted relative to this size.
Similarly, if the base font size of the document is changed, all fonts
will be adjusted to correspond.
As an example here is a formula in the font size
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

\begin_inset Quotes erd

\begin_layout Standard
One of \SpecialChar LyX
's strengths is cross-references.
You can reference every section, float, footnote, formula, and list in
the document.
To reference a document part, you have to insert a label into it.
The label is used as an anchor and a name for the reference.
We want for example to refer to the second item of the following list:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
First item
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "enu:Second-item"
\end_inset
Second item
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Third item
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
First we insert a label into the second item with the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Label
\family default
or by pressing the toolbar button
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "label-insert"
\end_inset
.
A gray label box like this:
\begin_inset Graphics
filename ../clipart/label.png
scale 85
\end_inset
is inserted and the label window pops up asking for the label text.
\SpecialChar LyX
offers as text the first words of the item with a prefix, in our case
the text
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
enu:Second-item
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
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; for
example, if you insert a label into a section heading, the suggested 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 Info
type "icon"
arg "dialog-show-new-inset ref"
\end_inset
.
A gray cross-reference box like this:
\begin_inset Graphics
filename ../clipart/reference.png
scale 85
\end_inset
is inserted and the cross-reference window appears showing all the labels
in 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.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As an alternative to
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator

\family default

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are six formats of cross-references:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description

\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "fig:Two-distorted-images"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
(): prints the number within two parentheses, this is the style
normally used to reference formulas, especially when the reference name

\begin_inset CommandInset ref

\begin_layout Description
: prints the page number: Page

\end_layout
\begin_layout Description

: prints the text “on page” and the page number:
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand vpageref
reference "fig:Two-distorted-images"
\end_inset
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
If the label is on the same page, it prints “on this page”; if the label
is on a facing page in a two-sided document, it prints “on the facing page”;
if it is on the previous page which is not a facing page, it prints “on
the previous page”; if it is on the next page which is not a facing page,
it prints “on the next page”.
The wording of the printed text also depends on the used document class.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description

You can include a bibliography database,

\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Bib\SpecialChar TeX

If you want anything other than the numerical citations that are used in
this document, like author-year citations, then you must

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 \SpecialChar LaTeX
and
we used
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
latexcompanion
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, a short form of its title, as the key.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can cross-reference a bibliography entry using the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Citation
\family default
or the toolbar button
\begin_inset Info

A citation reference box is inserted and a citation window will appear
containing the available citations.
Select one or more keys from the list and
\family sans
Add
\family default
them.
Then press

.
The citation reference box will be labeled with the referenced key(s).
If you click on the box, the citation window will appear and you can change
the reference.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Citation references appear in the output as the number of the bibliography
entry with surrounding brackets.
If you set a

Bibliography databases are useful if you use the same bibliography in different

\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Plain Layout
They are also useful 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 by default 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

\end_inset
and in the \SpecialChar LaTeX
books (
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

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.

\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

and the command
\end_layout

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

To achieve this, we use the command
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\series bold

\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 need not be a real existing entry.
You can also use another word to tell \SpecialChar LaTeX
the entry order.
See the next subsection for an example.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset VSpace bigskip

In some cases the index entry order is not correct when you are using the

\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

\family sans
makeindex

\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

The reason is that the index entry for aeguill is in a footnote.

You can also format the page number using the character

\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In general, we encourage you to not format page numbers directly as shown
above.
Instead, you should define a macro in the preamble and use that.
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 the 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

\begin_layout Standard
in the index entry.
\begin_inset Index idx
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\lang english
Dummy entries ! my entry|IndexDef
\end_layout
\end_inset
The advantage is that, if you change your mind later or if your publisher
insists 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.
For example, we marked the index list box of this document as bold to get
a bold font for all index entries.

\family sans
Makeindex
\family default
is very old, no longer under development and has many pitfalls, notably
that it was developed with only the English language in mind.
So it fails to sort anything other than a monolingual English text correctly.
We have shown above how to fix this sorting.
However, if you are writing in another than the English language, consider
to use
\family sans
xindy
\family default
.

In this dialog, you can also specify an alternative program to generate
the index.
\end_layout

If you need specific options or an alternative index program only for a
given document, you can define the program and\SpecialChar breakableslash

This is especially useful if you need to pass language-specific options

Multiple Indexes
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In many fields it is common to have more than one index.
For instance, you might need to set up a separate
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Index of Names
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
next to the standard index.
\SpecialChar LaTeX
does not provide this possibility out of the box, but there are packages
that add this feature.
\SpecialChar LyX

style, but it also includes
specific preprocessor programs that need to be installed as well.
Please consult the package's manual for details.

Note that the list

To add further indexes, add the name of the index (in the form that should
also appear as a heading) to the
\family sans

\family default
input field and press the
\family sans

\family default
button.
The new index now also appears in the list.
If you like, you can attribute an alternative \SpecialChar LyX
label color to the new index.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Once the document changes have been applied, you can find the new index
list in
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
List/TOC
\family default
and the
\family sans
Insert
\family default
menu has a separate entry for each of the defined indexes.
The workflow is basically the same as for the default index, but there
are additional features:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
If you want to change the attribution of a specific index entry, right-clicking
on the entry's label will open a dialog where you can do that.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
By right-clicking on an index, you can change its type.
Furthermore, you can specify an index to be a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Subindex.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
If you do that, the heading of that list will be decreased by one level.
For example, if you use a book class, where the standard index heading
is defined as a chapter, subindexes will be defined as sections and can
thus be nested to the non-subindexes.

As \SpecialChar LyX
uses \SpecialChar LaTeX
in the background, it supports many \SpecialChar LaTeX
commands and constructs,
but not all.
\SpecialChar LaTeX
contains hundreds of packages that provide different commands.
All the time packages are being updated and new ones added.
This has the advantage that you can typeset nearly everything as there
is a \SpecialChar LaTeX
-package for every problem, though \SpecialChar LyX
cannot support all packages and
their commands.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
But don't worry, you can use any \SpecialChar LaTeX
-command directly in \SpecialChar LyX
inside the \SpecialChar TeX
Code
box.
A \SpecialChar 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 Info
type "icon"
arg "ert-insert"
\end_inset
(shortcut
\begin_inset Info

\end_inset
).
The box can be opened by left-clicking and closed by right-clicking on
it and selecting
\family sans
Close Inset
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can insert complete or incomplete commands as \SpecialChar TeX
Code.
Incomplete means that the command argument can be Standard \SpecialChar LyX
text.
For example, if you want to draw a frame around a word and are therefore
using the \SpecialChar LaTeX
-command
\series bold
\backslash
fbox
\series default
, you can write the command part
\series bold
\backslash
fbox{
\series default
in a \SpecialChar TeX
Code box before the word and the closing brace
\series bold
}
\series default
in a second \SpecialChar TeX
Code box behind the word.
The word between the two \SpecialChar TeX
Code boxes is then the argument as it is in the
following example:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

\begin_layout Standard
When you write larger documents or books, you will need to know something
about the \SpecialChar LaTeX
-commands that \SpecialChar LyX
uses in the background.
Because \SpecialChar 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
any time if you know the right commands.
For example, imagine you have to write a manual for a product and the deadline
is the end of the day.
Your boss has just complimented you for your good work but wants to have
all caption labels bold.
But you have over a hundred figure and table captions with non-bold labels
in your manual.
Of course it is impossible to change all caption labels manually in one
day.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Now \SpecialChar LaTeX
comes into play.
As mentioned above, for every problem there exists a \SpecialChar LaTeX
-package.
First you have to find out which and therefore look in the \SpecialChar LaTeX
package database,
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Catalogue"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As result you find that the package
\series bold
caption
\series default
\begin_inset Index idx
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\lang english
\SpecialChar 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
\SpecialChar menuseparator
\family sans
LaTeX
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Preamble
\family default
) with the command
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\series bold
\backslash
usepackage[options]{package name}
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
All \SpecialChar 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

\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 of a command with more than one argument.)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Commands in the preamble affect the whole document, while commands in the
text affect only the text after the command or only the text used as command
argument.
To insert a \SpecialChar LaTeX
-command in text, use the \SpecialChar TeX
Code box as described in the previous
section.

Definition
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To define your header line, add all three header styles.
The things you add to the styles appear on odd numbered pages, the things
in the optional arguments on even numbered pages.
For single-sided documents, the optional arguments will not be used and
can be omitted.
If you leave a style or its argument empty, nothing appears in the output.
Defining the footer line works similarly.
\end_layout

Default header/footer
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The custom header/footer is not empty by default.
The default header contains the chapter and section title and the center
footer has the page number.
In order to remove unwanted entries from the header/footer, include the
relevant header/footer style in your document, but leave it blank.
So, if you do not want a page number in the footer, include a blank

style.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Appearance
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The header and footer will appear on normal pages.
Some pages are different.
The title page has a style of its own, and so does any page that starts
a new part or chapter in your book.
Such pages will not have the custom headers/footers, but that is normal.
There is for example no need to print a header with the chapter name on
the chapter page where the chapter heading is in big bold letters anyway.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Header and footer decoration line
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default, you get a 0.4
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
pt thick line below the header and no footer line.
This can be changed in the document preamble with the commands
\series bold
\backslash
headrulewidth
\series default
and
\series bold
\backslash
footrulewidth
\series default
in the following way:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\series bold
\backslash
renewcommand{
\backslash
headrulewidth}{thickness}
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
where thickness is a size in standard units like
\family sans
pt
\family default
or
\family sans

\family default
.
If you don't want a line, set the thickness to 0
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
pt.
\end_layout

The lines can also be colored, but this requires more knowledge of \SpecialChar LaTeX

Selected document parts
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Besides math there are other cases where you might like to see a preview,
for example things that \SpecialChar LyX
cannot render like rotated parts or things that
are not yet supported by \SpecialChar LyX
.
To do this, insert a preview inset via the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Preview
\family default
.
Insert or paste the stuff that you want to preview into this inset.
The preview will be generated when the cursor is outside the preview inset.
If you click on the preview, you can edit the previewed stuff.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
An example: To create rotated boxes, you use the \SpecialChar LaTeX
command
\series bold
\backslash
rotatebox
\series default
which is not yet supported by \SpecialChar LyX
.
\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
Instead of the \SpecialChar TeX
Code boxes you want to see in \SpecialChar LyX
the final rotated boxes,
for example to adjust the rotation angle to fit with the surrounding text.
Therefore you create a preview inset and copy the text with the rotated
boxes into it.
Here is the result:

If \SpecialChar LyX
does not show a preview, make sure that you enabled previews as described
above and also make sure that \SpecialChar TeX
Code in the preview inset is valid and that
you loaded the \SpecialChar LaTeX
packages in your document preamble that are required by
the \SpecialChar TeX
Code.
If \SpecialChar LyX
cannot create a preview, you will in most cases also not be able to
view your document due to \SpecialChar LaTeX
errors.
So if you have to use some \SpecialChar TeX
Code and don't know if it is correct, the preview
inset is a nice method to check it without the need to view the whole document.
\end_layout

\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Pane
\family default
and a window will be shown where you can see the \SpecialChar LaTeX
-source code.
The window shows the source of the whole paragraph in which the cursor
currently sits.
You can also select document parts in \SpecialChar 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.
If you check
\family sans
Automatic update
\family default
, you can see the changes as you make them in \SpecialChar LyX
; but note that if you have
several documents open, this will slow things down as \SpecialChar LyX
updates them all,
not just the one which is open at the time.

Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The advanced find and replace feature of \SpecialChar LyX
allows for searching of complex,
format-sensitive text segments and mathematics contents within \SpecialChar LyX
documents.
It is an enhancement of the standard (quick) find and replace feature.
The key-features are:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Both searching of text and of mathematical formulas is allowed, where the
latter is done by entering mathematics in the usual way; not only entire
mathematical formulas are found, but also parts occurring within more complex
formulas
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Search may be format-insensitive, so that the searched text is found in
any context/style (standard text, section headings, notes, and even mathematics
), or it may be format-sensitive, so that, for example, a word entered with
a section heading will only be found within section headings
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Search may be restricted to mathematics environments only; this is useful
for remangling math notation where one does not want to match any text
outside of mathematics environments
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Search may be widened to a specific
\emph on
scope
\emph default
, i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
a set of files which may be all the children of the document being edited,
all the open files, or all the manuals available from the
\family sans
Help
\family default
menu
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Replace may optionally preserve capitalization, so that the replaced text
capitalization is adapted to the matching text (i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
all lowercase, all uppercase, first letter uppercase followed by lowercase)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Basic usage
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The advanced find and replace feature is activated through the menu
\family sans
Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator

\noun default
Advanced
\noun on

\end_inset
) or the toolbar button
\begin_inset Info

\end_inset
.
This opens the
\family sans
Advanced Find and Replace
\family default
dialog.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Searching for text
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Enter into the
\family sans
Find
\family default
\SpecialChar LyX
mini-editor a simple word, and search for occurrences of it by clicking
on the
\family sans
Find
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Next
\family default
button at the bottom of the dialog (or just press the
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break"
\end_inset
key).
The entered word is found both in text mode and in math mode, and in emphasized
, bold or normal face, and in both in section titles and in standard text.
Pressing
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break"
\end_inset
repeatedly keeps searching forward while pressing
\family sans
Shift+Return
\family default
searches backwards.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The
\family sans
Case
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
sensitive
\family default
option allows matches to occur only with the same case as entered in the
\family sans
Find
\family default
editor.
The
\family sans
Whole
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
words
\family default
option allows matches to occur only at word boundaries.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Searching for mathematics
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Mathematical formulas, such as
\begin_inset Formula $x^{2}$
\end_inset
or something more complex like
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}$
\end_inset
, may be searched for by typing them in the
\family sans
Find
\family default
editor.
When searching for a formula, it is found both when it is alone and when
it occurs in sub-formulas and nested parts of sub-formulas.
For example the mentioned segments would be found in something like
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{x^{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}}}.$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Style-aware search
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
It is also possible to search for text with specific styles.
This is done by switching to the
\family sans
Settings
\family default
tab of the dialog and unchecking the
\family sans
Ignore format
\family default
option.
This way, entering in the
\family sans
Find
\family default
editor
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
a normal word and searching for it would not find instances of the word
occurring in emphasized or boldface.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
an emphasized or boldface word and searching for it would find the respective
instances with the same face only, and within the same text style only.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
a normal word in a section heading, and searching for it, would find occurrences
of it only within section headings.
Also, if the text to search is given an emphasized or bold face, in addition
to a section style, then it is found only when occurring with the same
style.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
a displayed formula will only find instances of this formula that are also
displayed formulas (and not inline formulas).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Replace
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The entries made in the
\family sans
Find
\family default
editor can be replaced with entries made in the
\family sans
Replace
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
with
\family default
editor.
In order to find the next occurrence and replace it, click on the
\family sans
Replace
\family default
button or alternatively press
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break"
\end_inset
or
\family sans
Shift+Return
\family default
while the cursor is in the
\family sans
Replace
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
with
\family default
editor.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can replace with fully-featured formatted \SpecialChar LyX
entries.
Typical scenarios in which to use this capability might be (just to mention
two):
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
replacing occurrences of a word with a customized formatted version of the
same word, for example replacing occurrences of a name like
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
func()
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
with its typewriter version
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
func()
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
performing a notation rework of mathematical symbols, for example replacing
occurrences of
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\begin_inset Formula $R$
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
with
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\begin_inset Formula $\mathbb{R}$
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(you may want to enable the
\family sans

\begin_inset space ~

\family default
and
\family sans

\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
sensitive
\family default
options and disable the
\family sans
Ignore format
\family default

tab, in order to avoid replacing all
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
R
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
letters occurring in normal text), or occurrences of
\begin_inset Formula $x_{j}^{i}$
\end_inset
with
\begin_inset Formula $x_{i,\,j}$
\end_inset
, or occurrences of
\begin_inset Formula $x[k]$
\end_inset
with
\begin_inset Formula $x_{k}$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Advanced usage
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There is a regular expression (regexp) based searching facility.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
A good explanation of regular expressions is given in this Wikipedia entry:
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
target "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\end_inset
You can search for a regular expression by inserting a regexp inset into
the
\family sans
Find
\family default
editor.
This is done with the context menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Insert Regular Expression
\family default
while the cursor is in the
\family sans
Find
\family default
editor.
Characters entered within regexp insets are matched according to the regular
expression matching rules
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Under the constraint that any (sub)expression must match a well-formed \SpecialChar LyX
segment, i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
when matching \SpecialChar LaTeX
code, no segments with unbalanced {} braces are allowed to
match expressions.
\end_layout
\end_inset
, while text entered outside regexp insets is matched exactly against the
same text in the document.
You can cut and paste regexp-mode insets.
Examples of using such a feature may be:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Searching for all fractions with a given denominator: for example, entering
in the
\family sans
Find
\family default
editor the fraction
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{.*}{1+x^{2}}$
\end_inset
(where the
\begin_inset Formula $.*$
\end_inset
on the numerator is the match-everything regular expression) finds all
fractions with the given denominator.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Searching for all text with a given style: for example, after unchecking
the
\family sans
Ignore format
\family default
option from the
\family sans
Settings
\family default
tab, entering a
\series bold
\begin_inset Formula $.*$
\end_inset
\series default
regular expression and giving it an emphasized or bold face, finds all
emphasized or bold face text respectively.
Also, by inserting a
\begin_inset Formula $.*$
\end_inset
regular expression in a bullet or enumerated list or a section heading,
you can find all bullet or enumerated lists or section headings.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Finally, references to (sub)expressions in regexp may be used as usual:
Enclosing parts of the expression within round braces
\begin_inset Formula $()$
\end_inset
, and referring back to them through
\begin_inset Formula $\backslash1$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula $\backslash2$
\end_inset
, etc..
For example, try searching with the regexp
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
[[:space:]]([[:alpha:]]+)[[:space:]]
\backslash
1[[:space:]]
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
in order to find word repetitions, if there are any.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The usage of back references in the replaced text is not (yet) implemented.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Note Greyedout
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\series bold
Note:
\series default
Back references work both when occurring within the same regexp, and when
occurring in multiple different regexps, where the numbering of back-referenced
sub-expressions is absolute.
That is,
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset Formula $\backslash1$
\end_inset
always refers to the first occurrence of
\begin_inset Formula $()$
\end_inset
in all entered regexps.

A sidebar 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 spellchecker sidebar, there is a box showing suggestions for a correctio
n, if any could be found.
Clicking on one of the corrections will copy it to the
\family sans

Unknown but correctly typed words can be added to the personal dictionary.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default, the dictionary file used is determined by the document language

Using the thesaurus
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To start the thesaurus, use the menu
\family sans
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Thesaurus
\family default
or the toolbar button
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "thesaurus-entry"
\end_inset
while the cursor is at the word you want to look up or while a word is
selected.
A dialog pops up showing you probably related words that you can use as
a replacement.
The suggestions are grouped into categories.
Note that, for some languages (such as English), the thesaurus does not
only show equivalent words (synonyms), but also generic terms (such as
\emph on
organism
\emph default
for
\emph on
plant
\emph default
), related terms (such as
\emph on
political
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
theory
\emph default
for
\emph on
anarchistic
\emph default
), compounds (such as
\emph on
tree
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
diagram
\emph default
, if you look for
\emph on
tree
\emph default
) and opposites (antonyms) (such as
\emph on
girl
\emph default
for
\emph on
boy
\emph default
).
Generic terms, related terms and antonyms are marked as such.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The language is automatically chosen from the language at the cursor, but
you can also switch it in the dialog, as you can enter new words to look
up directly there.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note that the thesaurus cannot handle phrases (only compounds that are in
the dictionary, such as the above
\emph on
tree diagram
\emph default
), and you have to use the so called lemma form, i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
the form that is used in the dictionaries (for many languages: first person
singular indicative active for nouns, infinitive for verbs).
For example, looking up the word form
\emph on
reporting
\emph default
yields no results, while results are shown for the word form
\emph on
report
\emph default
.
Your best bet is to highlight only the relevant part of such a word (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
\emph on
report
\emph default
in
\emph on
report
\emph default
s); then you will get suggestions without needing to adjust the query in
the dialog, and also the replacement will probably be correct (as only
the highlighted part will be replaced; thus the ending remains).
