What is \SpecialChar LyX
?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
is a document preparation system.
It is a tool for producing beautiful manu\SpecialChar softhyphen
scripts,
publishable books,
business letters and proposals,
even poetry.
It is unlike most other
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
word processors
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the sense that it uses the paradigm of a markup language as its core editing style.
That means that when you type a section header,
you mark it as a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Section
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
,
not as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Bold,

\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
pt type,
left justified,
5
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
mm space below
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\SpecialChar LyX
takes care of the typesetting for you;
so you deal only with concepts,
not with mechanics.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This philosophy is explained in greater detail in the
\emph on
Introduction
\emph default
manual.
If you haven't read it yet,
you need to.
Yes,
we mean now.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The
\emph on
Introduction
\emph default
manual describes several things in addition to \SpecialChar LyX
's philosophy:
most importantly,
the format of all of the manuals.
If you don't read it,
you will have a difficult time navigating the manuals.
Additionally it provides a high level content description of the other manuals giving the user an idea of where to look for specific information.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
How \SpecialChar LyX
Looks
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Like most applications,
\SpecialChar LyX
has the familiar menu bar across the top of its window.
Below it is a toolbar with a pulldown box and various buttons.
There is of course a work area for editing documents complete with a vertical scrollbar.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note that there is no horizontal scrollbar.
This is not a bug or an oversight,
it is intentional.
When you read a book,
you expect the end of a line to wrap around to the next line.
Text overflows onto new pages in a vertical fashion,
hence the need for only a vertical scrollbar.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are three cases where you might want a horizontal scrollbar.
The first case is large images.
To avoid images being displayed larger than your screen,
left click on the image and use the option
\family sans
Scale on Screen
\family default
in the tab
\family sans
\SpecialChar LaTeX
and \SpecialChar LyX
options
\family default
.
The second and third cases are tables and equations which are wider than the \SpecialChar LyX
window.
You can use the arrow keys to scroll horizontally through both.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For a brief description of all \SpecialChar LyX
menus and toolbar buttons,

\end_inset
Safety Nets:
Rescuing Files If Things Go Awry
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
lays much stress on safety.
We know how much effort you invest in your work,
and thus the last thing we want is that this work gets lost.
However,
we cannot completely prevent bad things from happening:
\SpecialChar LyX
might crash (although we put in all effort that it doesn't),
you might face a power outage while you are working on a document with unsaved changes,
disks might get corrupt or files might get lost or damaged during synchronization or simply because you deleted it by mistake.
For such cases,
\SpecialChar LyX
provides a multi-layered safety net that will hopefully prevent you from major hassles.
This means that \SpecialChar LyX
does not simply make a backup file,
it makes several such files that might be useful in different scenarios.
Parts of this multi-layered net can be switched off,
if you prefer to go a bit more risky over having multiple files (see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Backup documents"
\end_inset
),
but all measures are on by default to provide you with most possible security.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In what follows,
we elaborate on the diverse files and when they might become useful.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Backup Files
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default,
\SpecialChar LyX
makes backup copies of files when they are saved.
Normally,
these files are stored in the same directory than the original file and with the same file name but the extension
\family typewriter
.lyx~
\family default
(e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
\family typewriter
myfile.lyx~
\family default
).
If you prefer to have all backups in a central place (and maybe on a separate disk),
you can specify a
\family sans
Backup Path
\family default
in preferences (see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:Paths"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
),
then all backups are stored there.
In order to prevent file name clashes,
the files then do not simply have the original file name,
but also the path in their name,
separated by
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
!
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
\family typewriter
!home!paula!work!myfile.lyx~
\family default
).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note that some file managers hide backup files by default,
and you need to enable
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Show hidden files
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in order to see them.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Backup files provide the latest saved version of a document.
They are never deleted by \SpecialChar LyX
,
but overwritten if new changes are saved in the original file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Auto-Save Snapshots
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default,
\SpecialChar LyX
also makes automatic snapshots of all opened documents that have unsaved changes in a regular time interval (which can be adjusted in preferences,
see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Backup documents"
\end_inset
).
As opposed to the backup files,
these also contain unsaved changes and thus might be newer than the backups.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
These files are always stored in the same directory than the original file and with the same name,
but embraced by
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
#
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
\family typewriter
#myfile.lyx#
\family default
).
Auto-save snapshots are deleted when a document is closed normally,
i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.,
with all changes saved.
They are left on disk in case of non-normal termination (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
program crash or power outage),
and this is when they might become useful.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Emergency Files
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If \SpecialChar LyX
crashes and documents have unsaved changes,
the program furthermore tries to write an emergency file,
which is a version of the document containing all unsaved changes,
even those that have been made after the latest snapshot.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
These files are always stored in the same directory than the original file and with the same name but the extension
\family typewriter
.lyx.emergency
\family default
(e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
\family typewriter
myfile.lyx.emergency
\family default
).
When the respective document is reopened with \SpecialChar LyX
next time,
the application recognizes the emergency file and asks you whether it should try to recover your file to that last state.
If you agree,
it will do so,
and if this succeeds it will ask you next whether the emergency file can be deleted.
Agree on this only after you checked that everything has been correctly recovered!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Backup Files from Old \SpecialChar LyX
Versions
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you open a \SpecialChar LyX
document for the first time with a new major version of \SpecialChar LyX
,
it gets converted to the new file format (allowing for new features).
In such cases,
\SpecialChar LyX
keeps a copy of the old version,
named as
\family typewriter
<filename>-lyxformat-<n>.lyx
\family default
,
where <n> is the old format (e.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
g.,
\family typewriter
myfile-lyxformat-474.lyx
\family default
).
Those files are stored at the same location than the backup files,
that is alongside the original document or,
if specified,
in the backup directory.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As with backup files,
these files are never deleted by \SpecialChar LyX
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
When to Use Which File?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Now why all these files?
Because they have different purposes.
Generally spoken:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If \SpecialChar LyX
terminates unexpectedly,
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
first try to restore from the emergency file (by reopening the document in \SpecialChar LyX
).
This file has the latest changes,
even changes you made after the last auto-save snapshot has been made.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
If the rescue file way did not work because there is no rescue file (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
after a power outage) or the rescue file is damaged (it might happen in mean cases that the rescue files contains just that latest addition that makes \SpecialChar LyX
crash!),
look if there is an auto-save snapshot.
If so,
remove the trailing # so that the file can be opened with \SpecialChar LyX
(not the first # in order to keep the original file until you checked the snapshot) and see if that works for you.
If so,
you will have lost five minutes of work in the worst case (with the default settings at least).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
If there is no auto-save snapshot or this one is garbled as well,
use the backup file.
It does not have all the unsaved changes,
but it might still be the most recent you can get.
This is particularly the case if the original file itself got lost or is damaged.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The fourth type of file,
the backup file from old versions,
is useful if the conversion process did not work and results in a non-working document (although we put in all efforts to prevent this) or if you mistakenly opened and saved a document with a newer version (such as a development version) and actually want to keep on using the old version.

So much for the safety net.
We hope you will not need it,
but if so,
that it catches you as high up as possible.
Now let us return to the actual writing process.

Like most modern word processors,
\SpecialChar LyX
can perform cut and paste operations on blocks of text,
can move by character,
word,
or page of text,
and can delete whole words as well as individual characters.
The next four sections cover the basic \SpecialChar LyX
editing features and how to access them.
We will start with cut and paste.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As you might expect,
the
\family sans
Edit
\family default
menu and the standard toolbar have the cut and paste commands,
along with various other editing features.
Some of these are special and covered in later sections.
The basic ones are:

The first three are self-explanatory.
You can also copy text between \SpecialChar LyX
and other programs using
\family sans
Cut

\family sans

and
\family sans

\family default
.
\family sans
Cut
\family default
and

put two versions of text into the clipboard (formatted and unformatted) so that other programs can choose the most suitable form.
\family sans
Paste
\family default
supports formatted and unformatted text as well as graphics.
It tries to interpret the clipboard contents in an intelligent way.
For example if the clipboard contains text in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) format and the cursor is inside a table,
the text will be pasted into individual cells.
The submenu of
\family sans
Paste
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

shows you a list of the last several strings you have pasted.
You can insert one at the current cursor position by clicking on a list entry.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The submenu

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,
footnotes,
labels and cross-references (see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref

notes,
or citations (see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref

nolink "false"
\end_inset
).
Clicking on any of these will take you to the corresponding object in your document.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In many cases right clicking on elements in the Outline opens 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.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The
\family sans
Filter
\family default
field at the top allows you to filter which entries appear in the outline.
For example,
if you are displaying the list of
\emph on
Labels and References
\emph default
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
At the bottom of the outline are several buttons that allow you to further 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 the subsections of sections
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
2 and 4 displayed and click on section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
3,
the subsections of sections
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
2 and 4 will still be displayed.
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
The
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "reload"
\end_inset
button refreshes the TOC (useful while editing if you have changed sections in the document).
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.
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

arg "outline-out"
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "outline-in"
\end_inset
(or the corresponding key bindings
\family sans

and
\family sans

) you can change the level of sections.
You can make section
\begin_inset space ~

you can input the characters

\SpecialChar LyX
menus also list the defined key bindings.

Before you do anything else,
before you ever start writing a document,
you need to decide what type of document you want to edit.
Different types of documents use different types of spacing,
headings,
numbering schemes,
and so on.
Additionally,
different documents use different paragraph environments,
and format the title of your document differently.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A

document class

describes a group of properties common to a particular set of documents.
By setting the document class,
you automatically select these properties,
making it easier to create the type of document you want.
If you don't choose a document class,
\SpecialChar LyX
picks one for you by default.
So it is up to you to change the class of your document.

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
\emph default
in the
\emph on
Additional Features
\emph default
manual:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
A&A Journal articles in the style and format used in Astronomy & Astrophysics
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
ACS For submissions to the journals published by the American Chemistry Society
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
AGU For submissions to the journals published by the American Geophysical Union
\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.

If you open a document that uses such a class,
you will receive a warning saying that there are files that are required to produce output that are not installed.
So it may seem that something is wrong.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
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
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Unavailable
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
,
you just 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.
See section
\emph on
Installing new \SpecialChar LaTeX
files
\emph default
in of the
\emph on

manual for information on how to install them.
\begin_inset VSpace medskip
\end_inset
\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 dissertations 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.

and it will tell you what exactly you are missing.
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

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

\family default
heading;
the rest do not and begin instead with the
\family sans

Some document classes,
such as the ones for letters,
don't use any section headings.
In addition to
\family sans
Chapter
\family default

\family sans
Section
\family default
headings,
there are also

Important Note
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you change a document class,
\SpecialChar LyX
has to convert everything 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 convert these paragraphs manually to a style present in your new document class.

Introduction
\begin_inset CommandInset label

\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Before describing all of the various paragraph environments,
we'd like to say a word or two about paragraph indentation.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Everyone seems to have their own convention for separating paragraphs.
Most Americans indent the first line of a paragraph.
Others don't indent but put extra space between the paragraphs.
If you choose indentation for paragraphs the
\emph on
first
\emph default
paragraph of a section,
or after a figure,
an equation,
a table,
a list,
etc.,
is
\emph on
not
\emph default
indented.
Only a paragraph following another paragraph gets indented.
Note that the indentation behavior is different when you use another document language than English.
\SpecialChar LaTeX
takes care that the indentation follows the rules of the language used.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The space between paragraphs,
like the line spacing,
the space between headings and text —
in fact,
all the spacing for just about everything —
is 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 globally to change
\emph on
all
\emph default
these pre-coded spacings.
We will explain more later.

\begin_inset Newline newline

command sequence in \SpecialChar LaTeX
files.
If you don't know \SpecialChar LaTeX
,
or the concept of a paragraph environment is totally alien to you,
we urge you to read the
\emph on
Tutorial
\emph default
.
The
\emph on
Tutorial
\emph default
also contains many more examples than this section does.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A paragraph environment is simply a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
container
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
for a paragraph which gives that paragraph certain properties.
This can include a particular style of font,
different margins,
a numbering scheme,
labels,
and so on.
Additionally,
you can
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
nest
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
the different environments inside one another,
allowing one environment to inherit some of the properties of another.
The different paragraph environments totally replace the need for messy tab stops,
on the fly margin adjustment,
and other hangovers from the days of typewriters.
There are several paragraph environments that are specific to a particular document type.
We will 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 entering
\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:

\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX

rather than resetting it to

.
Also the nesting depth is preserved (for more on nesting see section

\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Standard
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The default paragraph environment is
\family sans
Standard
\family default
for most classes.
It creates a plain paragraph.
If \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
Standard
\family default
environment in just about anything else,
but you can't really nest anything in a
\family sans

\family default
environment.

\SpecialChar LyX
provides an interface to the title page commands through the paragraph environments
\family sans
Title

and
\family sans

\family default
.
Here's how you use them:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Put the title of your document in the
\family sans
Title
\family default
environment.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Put the author name in the

environment.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
If you want the date to have a certain appearance,
want to use a fixed date,
or want other text to appear in place of today's date,
put that text in the
\family sans
Date
\family default
environment.
Note that using this environment is optional.
If you don't provide any,
\SpecialChar LaTeX
will automatically insert today's date.
If you don't want a date,
use the option

\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 Roman numerals.
\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 a similar grouping:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\family sans
Part
\family default
is divided into either
\family sans
Chapter
\family default

\SpecialChar LyX
labels it with its number,
along with the number of the subsection,
section and,
if applicable,
chapter that it's in.
For example:
the fifth section of the second chapter of this book has the label

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,
set the cursor behind the title and use the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Short
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Title
\family default
.
This will insert a box labeled
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Short

Title
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
which you can use to enter the short title text.
This also works for captions inside floats.
There can only be one short title per title.

\begin_layout Standard
The title of this section is a good example of using this feature.

\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize

\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
You cannot use a margin note in any of these environments.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize

Quotes and Poetry
\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 enter
\family sans
Return
\family default
without worrying about the paragraph environment changing on you.
Of course,
that means that,
once you are 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 will see the indentation.
If your country uses a writing style that indicates new paragraphs by indenting the first line,
then
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
is the environment for you!
Well,
you'd use it
\emph on
if
\emph default
you were quoting other text.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quotation
Here's a new paragraph.
I could ramble on and on,
like a politician at election time.
If I did that,
though,
you'd get bored.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As the examples show,
\family sans
Quote
\family default
is for those people who use extra space to separate paragraphs.
They should put quotes in the
\family sans
Quote
\family default
environment.
Those who use indentation to mark a new paragraph should use the
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
paragraph environment for quoted text.

\end_layout
\begin_layout Verse
It could be much worse.
This line could be long,
very long,
oh so long,
so very long that it wraps around.
It looks okay on screen,
but in the printed version,
the extra lines are indented a bit more than the first.
Okay,
so it's turned to prose and doesn't rhyme anymore.
So sue me.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Verse
To break a line
\begin_inset Newline newline

\SpecialChar LyX
has four different paragraph environments for creating different kinds of lists.
In the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
and
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environments,
\SpecialChar LyX
labels your list items with bullets or numbers,
respectively.
In the
\family sans
Description
\family default
and
\family sans
List
\family default
environments,
\SpecialChar LyX
lets you provide your own label.
We will 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 thereby 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
.
If you do this at the top level of a list,
it returns you to the
\family sans
Standard
\family default
environment.
\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_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The first type of list we will describe in detail is the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
paragraph environment.
It has the following properties:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Each item has a particular bullet or symbol as its label.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
\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.
\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"
nolink "false"
\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.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
The label for the second level is a dash.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
The label for the third is an asterisk.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
The label for the fourth is a centered dot.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
Back out to the third level.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
Back to the second level.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
Back to the outermost level.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
These are the default labels for an
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
list.
You can customize how these labels are displayed in the output in the
\family sans

\begin_layout Standard
The
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment is used to create numbered lists and outlines.
It has these properties:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Each item has a numeral as its label.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
The label type depends on the nesting depth.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
\SpecialChar LyX
automatically counts the items for you and updates the label as appropriate.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Each new
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment resets the counter to one.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Like the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment,
the
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment:
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
Offsets the items relative to the left margin.
Items can have any length.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Reduces the space between items as the nesting depth increases.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Uses different types of labels depending on the nesting depth.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Allows up to a four-fold nesting.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
Unlike the
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environment,
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
shows the different labels for each item in \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.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
The second level uses lower case letters surrounded by parentheses.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
The third level uses lower-case Roman numerals followed by a period.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
The fourth level uses capital letters followed by a period.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Again,
notice the decrease in the spacing between items as the nesting depth increases.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
Back to the third level
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
Back to the second level.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
Back to the outermost level.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can customize the type of numbering used in the
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment,
see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Customized-Lists"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
.
Such customization only shows up in the printed version,
not in \SpecialChar LyX
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There is more to nesting
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environments than we've stated here.
You should read section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

Unlike the previous two environments,
the

Instead,
\SpecialChar LyX
uses the first
\begin_inset Quotes eld

word
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
of the first line as the label.
Here's an example:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description

\family default
environment.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
typesets the label in boldface and puts extra space between it and the rest of the line.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
With the first
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
word
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
it is meant that the first usage of the
\family sans
Space
\family default
key ends the label if you are at the beginning of the first line of an item.
If you need to use more than one word in a label use a
\family sans
Non-Breaking Space
\family default
.
(Use either
\begin_inset Info

\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Usage:
You should use the
\family sans
Description
\family default
environment for things like definitions and theorems.
Use it when you need to make one word in particular stand out in the text that describes it.
It's not a good idea to use a
\family sans
Description
\family default
environment when you have an entire sentence that you want to describe.
You're better off using
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
or
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
and nesting several
\family sans
Standard
\family default
paragraphs into them.
\end_layout

nest them in other types of lists,

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Like the
\family sans
Description
\family default
list the
\family sans
Labeling
\family default
list has user-defined labels for each list item but it provides some additional features.
Here are its properties:
\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
Space
\family default
after the beginning of the first line of an item marks the end of the label.
If you need to use more than one word in an item label,
use a non-breaking space 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
Labeling
\family default
environment has the same left margin.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
To change the default width,
select all items in the list.
Now open the
\family sans
Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator
Paragraph
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Settings
\family default

\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "layout-paragraph"
\end_inset
).
The text in the box
\family sans
Longest
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
label
\family default
determines the default label width.
You can use the text of your largest label here,
but you can also use the letter
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
M
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
multiple times instead.
M is the widest character and is a standard unit of widths in \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
By using
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
M
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
as the unit of width you don't need to keep changing the contents of
\family sans
Longest
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
label
\family default
every time you alter a label in a
\family sans
List
\family default
environment.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
The predefined default width is the length of
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
00.00.0000
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(equal to 6
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
M).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You should use the
\family sans
Labeling
\family default
list the same way as the
\family sans
Description
\family default
list:
When you need one word to stand out from the text that describes it.
The
\family sans
Labeling
\family default
environment gives you another way to do this,
using a different overall layout.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can nest
\family sans
Labeling
\family default
lists inside one another,
nest them in other types of lists,

They work just like the other list paragraph environments.

There is yet another feature of the
\family sans

As you can see in the examples,
\SpecialChar LyX
left-justifies the item labels by default.
You can use additional
\family sans

Address:
An Overview
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Although \SpecialChar LyX
has document classes for letters,
we've also created two paragraph environments called
\family sans
Address
\family default
and
\family sans
Right
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Address
\family default
.
To use the letter class,
you need to use specific paragraph environments in a specific order,
otherwise \SpecialChar LaTeX
gags on the document.
In contrast,
you can use the
\family sans
Address
\family default
and
\family sans
Right
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Address
\family default
paragraph environments anywhere with no problem.
You can even nest them inside other environments,
though you can't nest anything in them.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Of course,
you're not limited to using
\family sans
Address
\family default
and
\family sans
Right
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Address
\family default
for letters only.
\family sans
Right
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Address
\family default
,
in particular,
is useful for creating article titles like those used in some European academic papers.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Usage
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "sec:Address-Usage"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The
\family sans
Address
\family default
environment formats text in the style of an address,
which is also used for the opening and signature in some countries.
Similarly,
the
\family sans
Right
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Address
\family default
environment formats text in the style of a right-justified address,
which is used for the sender's address and today's date in some countries.
Here's an example of each:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Right Address
Right Address
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
Who I am
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
Where I am
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
When is it?
What is today?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
That was
\family sans
Right
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Address
\family default
.
Notice that the lines all have the same left margin,
which \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 enter
\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
break-line
\family default
(
\begin_inset Info

\SpecialChar LyX

\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
environment is used for the abstract of an article.
Technically,
you could use this environment anywhere,
but you really should only use it at the beginning of the document,
after the title.
Also,
don't bother trying to nest
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
in anything else or vice versa.
It will not 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

The actual appearance in the output depends on the document class you are using.

Starting a new paragraph by entering

\begin_layout Standard
The

\SpecialChar LyX

extension.
It type-sets text in a typewriter-style font.
It also treats the
\family sans

\family default
key as a fixed whitespace.
\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Plain Layout
In the
\family sans

the
\family sans

\family sans
\SpecialChar LyX

\family default
,
\family sans
Verbatim
\family default
and
\family sans

If you need to insert blank lines,
you will 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
-Code
\family default
environment,
you will need to change the paragraph environment yourself.
Also,
you can nest the
\family sans
\SpecialChar LyX
-Code
\family default
environment inside of others.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are a few quirks with this environment:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
You cannot use
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "newline-insert newline"
\end_inset
at the beginning of a new paragraph (i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
you can't follow
\family sans
Return
\family default
with a
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "newline-insert newline"
\end_inset
).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
You cannot follow a
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "newline-insert newline"
\end_inset
with a
\family sans
Space
\family default
but with a
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "command-alternatives math-space ; space-insert protected"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
You cannot have an empty paragraph or an empty line.
You must put at least one
\family sans
Space
\family default
in any line you want blank.
Otherwise,
\SpecialChar LaTeX
generates errors.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
You cannot get the typewriter double quotes by typing
\family sans
"
\family default
since that will insert
\emph on
real
\emph default
quotes.
You get the typewriter double quotes with
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "self-insert \""
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Here is an example:
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
#include <stdio.h>

\begin_layout LyX-Code
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code

\family sans
Verbatim

Compared to
\family sans
\SpecialChar LyX

\family default
the
\family sans

In contrary to

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Because of these properties
\family sans

\family default
works like a typewriter.
Here is an example:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Verbatim

\begin_layout Verbatim

\begin_layout Subsection
Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
treats text as a unified block with a particular context and specific properties.
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
one
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
two
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
sublist – item #1
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
sublist – item #2
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
three
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You put a list inside a list by nesting one list inside the other.
Nesting an environment is quite simple:
Select
\family sans
Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator
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
to change the nesting depth (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 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
.
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 is 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 of nesting a paragraph environment 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:

The same thing would have happened to a figure or an equation.
So,

figures or equations,
make sure you go to the right depth!

Usage and General Features
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
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
\end_inset
is the innermost possible depth.
Here's an example to illustrate what we mean:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
level #1 – outermost
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
level #2
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
level #3
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
level #4
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
level #5
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
level #6
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
There are two exceptions to the six-fold nesting limit,
and you can see both of them in the example.
Unlike the other fully-nestable environments,
you can only perform a four-fold nesting with the
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
and
\family sans
Itemize
\family default
environments.
For example,
if we tried to nest another
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
list inside 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.
We have several examples of nested environments.
In them,
we explain how we created the example,
so that you can reproduce them.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Example 1:
The Six-fold Way and Mixed Nesting
\end_layout
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#1-a This is the outermost level.
It's a
\family sans
List
\family default
environment.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#2-a This is level #2.
We created it by using
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
followed by
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#3-a This is level #3.
This time,
we just enter
\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 entering
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "paragraph-break inverse"
\end_inset
followed by
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\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 entering
\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 enter
\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
#3-a
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#5-a This is level #5\SpecialChar ldots
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#6-a \SpecialChar ldots
and this is level #6.
By now,
you should know how we made these two.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#5-b Back to level #5.
Just enter
\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
type "shortcut"
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.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#2-b Back to level #2.
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Labeling
\labelwidthstring MMM
#1-b And last,
back to the outermost level,
#1.
After this sentence,
we will enter
\family sans
Return
\family default
and change the paragraph environment back to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
to end the list.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
We could have also used the
\family sans
Description
\family default
,
\family sans
Quote
\family default
,
\family sans
Quotation
\family default
,
or even the
\family sans
Verse
\family default
environment in place of the
\family sans
List
\family default
environment.
The example would have worked exactly the same.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Example 2:
Inheritance
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
This is the LyX-Code environment,
at level #1,
the outermost
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
level.
Now we will enter
\family sans
Return
\family default
,
then
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
,
after
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
which,
we will change to the
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
This is the
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment,
at level #2.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
Notice how the nested
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
not only inherits its margins from its parent environment (
\family sans
LyX-Code
\family default
),
but also inherits its font and spacing!
\end_layout
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
We ended this example by entering
\family sans
Return
\family default
.
After that,
we needed to reset the paragraph environment to
\family sans
Standard
\family default
and reset the nesting depth by using
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-decrement"
\end_inset
once.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Example 3:
Labels,
Levels,

\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
This is level #1,
in an
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
paragraph environment.
We're actually going to nest a bunch of these.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
This is level #2.
We used
\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?
\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
Itemize
\family default
.)
\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
type "shortcut"
arg "depth-increment"
\end_inset
.
We will do that again\SpecialChar ldots
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
\SpecialChar ldots
to get to level #5.
This time,
however,
we also changed the paragraph environment back to
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
.
Notice the type of numbering,
it is
\emph on
lowercase Roman
\emph default
,
because we are in the
\emph on
thirdfold
\emph default
\family sans
Enumerate
\family default
environment (that is,
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.

It is sometimes necessary to have two consecutive environments of the same type.
For example you need two different enumerations:

\begin_layout Standard
To split an existing list into two lists,
set the cursor at the end of a list item and use the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Separated <Name> Above
\family default
or
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Separated <Name> Below
\family default
.
This inserts a plain separator (red line in \SpecialChar LyX
) and before or behind it the new list.
Inside nested environments,
it is also possible to split the outer environment.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By right-clicking on a separator one can change it into a paragraph separator (red arrow in LyX).
The difference between both separator types is that the plain separator only splits the list and not the current paragraph.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In general,
you get an environment separator when you press
\begin_inset Info

With the introduction of typewriters,
it became conventional in some countries to type two spaces after a period to mimic the wider spaces used by typesetters at the ends of sentences.
There is no need to do this as \SpecialChar LyX
automatically takes care about this.
However,
you do not want an end of sentence space after an abbreviation followed by a period;
see section

Horizontal fills (HFills) are a special \SpecialChar LyX
feature for adding extra space in a uniform fashion.
An Horizontal Fill 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 Horizontal Fill on a line,
they divide the available space equally between themselves.

Sometimes you want to insert space with exactly the length of a phrase.
For example,
you want to create the following multiple choice question:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset VSpace medskip
\end_inset
What is correct English?:
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
Mr.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Edge would have been jumps the gun.
\begin_inset Newline newline

\begin_inset Phantom HPhantom

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Mr.
Edge
\end_layout
\end_inset
jumps
\begin_inset VSpace medskip
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\noindent
so that the choices appear exactly after the phrase
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Mr.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Edge
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
To get this,
you can use the phantom insets available via the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Formatting\SpecialChar menuseparator
Phantom
\family default
.
In our case insert a horizontal phantom at the beginning of the last two lines and insert
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Mr.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Edge
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
into the phantom inset (note the space after
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Edge
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
).
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
\end_inset
.
The normal phantom outputs the width and height of the content as space,
while the horizontal and vertical variant only outputs the corresponding dimension.

set so that the space is maximal within one page.
An example:
you have only two short paragraphs on one page with a

Then the first paragraph is placed at the top of the page and the second one at the bottom,
because the space between them is then maximal.

\begin_layout Standard
If you don't like the way \SpecialChar LaTeX
does the page breaks in your document,
you can force a page break where you want one.
Normally this will not be necessary,
because \SpecialChar LaTeX
is good at page breaking.
Only if you use a lot of
\family sans

\SpecialChar LaTeX

\end_layout

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are two types of page breaks:
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

\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Page
\family default
.
The second type,
that is inserted via the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Formatting\SpecialChar menuseparator
Page
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Break
\family default
,
ends a page but stretches the content of the page,
so that it fills out the complete page.
This type is useful to avoid whitespace when a page break produces a page on which only the last few lines are absent.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You might try to use a page break to ensure that a figure or table appears at the top of a page.
This is,
of course,
the wrong way to do it.
\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.

Rather than forced page breaks where the content behind the break is placed directly on the next page,
you can also clear pages while breaking them.
That means that the current paragraph is terminated and everything,

are built from outlines of the single glyphs (e.
\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 vector 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 might it 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
\end_inset
The font types

\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 an image manipulation program.
In order to mitigate this effect,
bitmap fonts are typically provided in several fixed sizes typically from around 8
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
pixels high up to 34
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
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 display therefore more quickly 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
\end_inset
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 see which fonts are used in a PDF-document,
look at its document properties.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Many modern typesetting and markup languages have begun to move towards specifying text 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
.
This concept fits in perfectly with \SpecialChar LyX
.
In \SpecialChar LyX
,
you do things based on contexts,
rather than focusing on typesetting details.

\SpecialChar LaTeX
font support
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "subsec:LaTeX-font-support"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Traditionally,
\SpecialChar LaTeX
used 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 a word processor.
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
has increased a lot in the meantime;
so you can find packages for many free and commercial fonts.
\SpecialChar LyX
supports the fonts that are under a free license via the user interface (see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Document-Font"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
for details).
Other fonts are available if you enter the relevant \SpecialChar LaTeX
code in the document preamble (please refer to the documentation of your desired font).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Recent developments brought some new \SpecialChar LaTeX
engines that are also able directly to access fonts that are installed for your operating system,
namely Xe\SpecialChar TeX
and Lua\SpecialChar TeX
.
Both engines are supported by \SpecialChar LyX
.
By using them,
you can theoretically use any OpenType or TrueType font that is installed on your system.
The next section describes how to use these fonts.

Also note that the output might fail with some of the listed fonts,

\SpecialChar LyX

Note that the math font will not be used for

Also note that some math fonts are sans

Your document might therefore look strange when the document text has serifs while the math characters do not.

Text Style

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As we've already seen,
\SpecialChar LyX
automatically changes the style for certain paragraph environments.
In this section,
we will explain how the style of selected text passages can by changed.
This is where we meet the concept of
\emph on
text styles
\emph default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default,
\SpecialChar LyX
supports two text styles,
\emph on
Emphasized
\emph default
and
\noun on
Noun
\noun default
.
These are
\emph on
builtin
\emph default
,
i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.,
available with all document classes.
On top of that,
some document classes and modules provide
\emph on
custom text styles
\emph default
for specific purposes.
We describe both types of text styles in a minute.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Before we do that,
though,
allow us just a few words of what we mean by
\emph on
text styles
\emph default
in contrast to
\emph on
text properties
\emph default
.
Traditional word processors used to focus on so-called
\emph on
formal markup
\emph default
:
if you wanted to emphasize a word,
you selected it and chose e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
bold style
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
—
you customized the
\emph on
text properties
\emph default
.
Modern processors,
\SpecialChar LyX
among them,
encourage the use of
\emph on
semantic
\emph default
(or
\emph on
logical
\emph default
)
\emph on
markup
\emph default
instead (although formal markup is still possible;
see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Fine-Tuning-with-the"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
).
Rather than fiddling with
\emph on
text properties
\emph default
,
they encourage the use of
\emph on
text styles
\emph default
,
who are defined with regard to their function (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset
emphasize
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset
),
not their form (
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset
bold
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset
).
There are many advantages of the semantic approach.
To begin with,
using functional categories keeps you thinking about why you are actually marking up,
if your markup is consistent and systematic,
and whether this particular markup makes sense.
On a more practical level,
it is easy to change the appearance if needed.
Consider the case when you are writing a paper and set all proper names in
\shape smallcaps
small caps
\shape default
via formal markup.
Now if the publisher requests to have names appear differently (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
in normal font,
or ALL-CAPS),
you would have to change any single occurrence.
With a semantic markup (such as
\noun on
noun
\noun default
;
see below),
you'd just need to change the definition of
\family sans
Noun
\family default
once and for all.
It's a ten second change (if you know how to change the \SpecialChar LaTeX
definition).
Moreover,
semantic markup even allows you to produce different versions of a document,
using different markup semantics.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
With that in mind,
we now turn to the semantic text styles that are provided by \SpecialChar LyX
.

Builtin Text Styles

\begin_layout Standard
The two builtin text styles can be activated via the
\family sans
Text Properties
\family default
dialog,
key bindings,
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 Itemize
use the
\family sans
Text Properties
\family default
dialog (
\begin_inset Info
type "menu"
arg "dialog-show character"
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "dialog-show character"
\end_inset
) under
\family sans
Semantic Markup
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This command is a toggle.
That is,
if
\family sans
Noun
\family default
style is already active,
they deactivate it.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
One typically uses the
\family sans
Noun
\family default
style for proper names.
For example:
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\noun on
Matthias Ettrich
\noun default
is the original author of \SpecialChar LyX
.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default,
\family sans
Noun
\family default
is producing text in
\shape smallcaps
Small Caps
\shape default
,
but the definition can be changed.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A more widely used text 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 Itemize
use the
\family sans
Text Properties
\family default
dialog (
\begin_inset Info
type "menu"
arg "dialog-show character"
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "dialog-show character"
\end_inset
) under
\family sans
Semantic Markup
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Normally the
\family sans
Emphasized
\family default
style is equivalent to an italic font but some document classes or \SpecialChar LaTeX
packages use a different font,
and you can also customize it yourself by changing the \SpecialChar LaTeX
definition.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
We've been using the
\family sans
Emphasized
\family default
style all over the place in this document.
Here's one more example:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quotation
\emph on
Do not overuse text styles!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
It's also a warning in addition to an example.
One's writing should parallel ordinary conversation.
Since we don't all constantly scream at each other,
we should also avoid the common tendency to overuse text styles.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In contrast to the custom text styles,
the builtin styles are represented only as font changes and integrated in the
\family sans
Text Properties
\family default
dialog.
You can therefore always reset to the default font using the key binding
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "font-default"
\end_inset
or that dialog (
\family sans
\begin_inset Info
type "menu"
arg "dialog-show character"
\end_inset

or
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "dialog-show character"
\end_inset

\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Custom Text Styles
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label

\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Custom text styles can be provided by the document class,
a module (see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Modules"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"

or local layout settings (see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Local-Layout"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
).
As the two builtin styles,
they provide
\emph on
semantic
\emph default
markup for specific functions.
For instance,
\SpecialChar LyX
ships a
\emph on
Linguistics
\emph default
module that provides,
among other things,
some custom text styles to markup linguistic levels:
\emph on
expressions
\emph default
,
\noun on
concepts
\noun default
,
and
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset
meanings
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
These styles can be found,
if available,
in the
\family sans
Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator
Custom Text Styles
\family default
menu.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For the purpose of demonstration,
we have loaded in this document the optional module
\family sans
Logical Markup
\family default
that replicates and extends the two builtin styles.
By example of the emphasized style,
we can see the differences in look and feel (although the result in the typeset output is the same):
while the builtin
\emph on
emphasized style
\emph default
appears as normal font change,
the custom text style
\begin_inset Flex Emph
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Emph
\end_layout
\end_inset
appears as an inset,
with a label below that identifies its semantics.
This is the way all custom text styles look and feel like.
For instance,
the three others from the module we have loaded are:
\begin_inset Flex Code
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Code
\end_layout
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Flex Strong

and
\begin_inset Flex Noun

Note that custom text styles might (as in the example) or might not emulate on screen their formal appearance.

There are always occasions when you will need to do some formal fine-tuning;
so \SpecialChar LyX
gives you a way to customize the properties of text passages.
For example,
an academic journal or a corporation may have a style sheet requiring a sans-serif font be used in certain situations.
Also,
writers sometimes use a different font to offset a character's thoughts from ordinary dialog.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If there are no custom text styles provided by the document class or a module for this purpose (which is,
as written above,
generally the better way of handling such issues),
you often find yourself wanting to quickly tweak the properties of the respective text passages.
That's where
\emph on
formal markup
\emph default
comes in as a last resort.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Before we document how to tweak the text properties,
we want to issue a warning yet again:
Don't overuse that!
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
Documents that overuse different fonts and sizes are not easy to read and tend to look as if someone has knocked huge holes in them.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\family sans

Overview

Before we tell you that,

\SpecialChar LyX

as its backend.
\SpecialChar LaTeX
is just a macro package for the \SpecialChar TeX
typesetting system,
but to prevent confusion,
we will 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

because it is completely portable;

DVIs are used for quick previews and as a pre-stage for other output formats,
like PostScript.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
DVI files do not contain images,
they only link to them.
So don't forget to deliver the images together with your DVIs.
Because the DVI-viewer has to convert the images in the background to make them visible when you scroll the DVI,
this can slow down your computer when you view the DVI.
So we recommend using PDF for files with many images.

PostScript can only contain images in the format

\end_inset
(EPS,
file extension

\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,
for example,
you have 50
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
images in your document,
\SpecialChar LyX
has to do 50
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
conversions when you view or export your document the first time.
This might slow down your workflow with \SpecialChar LyX
.
So if you plan to use PostScript,
you can insert your images directly as EPS to avoid this problem.

\begin_layout Standard
Since \SpecialChar LyX

\end_inset
applies to the language that is current when the command is issued (in the preamble,
this is usually the main language of the document).
If you want to define patterns for specific languages without knowing which language is in effect,
the language packages
\family sans
babel
\family default
and
\family sans
polyglossia
\family default
provide specific variants of the command:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\family sans
babel
\family default
:
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
babelhyphenation[<language 1>,
<language 2>,
\SpecialChar ldots
]{<patterns>}
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\family sans
polyglossia
\family default
:
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
pghyphenation[<language options>]{<language>}{<patterns>}
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
So you can use,
depending on which language package you are using:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
babelhyphenation[german,ngerman,austrian,naustrian,swissgerman,
\begin_inset Newline newline

\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
pghyphenation{german}{Ma-de}
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
in order to define the hyphenation points for all German varieties,
or only
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
babelhyphenation[naustrian]{Ma-de}
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize

\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
pghyphenation[variant=austrian]{german}{Ma-de}
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
in order to define them only for the Austrian variety of German.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
These commands only work after the language package has been loaded,
which is usually after the user preamble.
So it is advised that you embrace them in
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
AtBeginDocument{\SpecialChar ldots
}
\end_layout
\end_inset
,
which causes them to be issued at the end of the \SpecialChar LaTeX
preamble instead.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Sometimes you want to prevent words or constructs from being hyphenated.
Imagine that you are describing keybindings/shortcuts in your document in the form
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
A-b c
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\SpecialChar LaTeX
would then see the hyphen
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
-
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
as a line break possibility.
A line break at this point would look ugly.
To prevent the shortcut from being broken,
you can use a non-breaking hyphen (
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Special Character\SpecialChar menuseparator
Non-Breaking Hyphen
\family default
) or put it into a makebox as described in the section
\emph on

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When \SpecialChar LyX
calls \SpecialChar LaTeX
to generate the final version of your document,
\SpecialChar LaTeX
automatically distinguishes between words,
sentences,
and abbreviations.
\SpecialChar LaTeX
then adds the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
appropriate amount of space.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
That means sentences get a little bit more space between the period and the next word.
Abbreviations get the same amount of space after the period that a word gets after another word.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Unfortunately,
the algorithm for figuring out what's an abbreviation does not work in all cases.
If a
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family typewriter
.
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is at the end of a lowercase letter,
it's the end of a sentence;
if it's at the end of a capitalized letter,
it's an abbreviation.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Here are some examples of
\emph on
correct
\emph default
abbreviations and of the end of a sentence:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
M.
Butterfly
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Don't worry.
Be happy.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
And here is an example of the algorithm going wrong:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
this is too much space!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
This is I.
It's okay.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You will not see anything wrong until you view a final version of your document.
\end_layout

use one of the following:

With the corrections,
our earlier examples look like this:
\end_layout

Some languages don't use extra spacing between sentences.

you don't need to worry,
because \SpecialChar LaTeX
will take care of this.

\SpecialChar LyX
usually sets quotation marks correctly.
Specifically,
it will insert an opening mark at the beginning of quoted text,

For example,

In many writing cultures,
these are single quotation marks.
But as the British and French styles show,
this is not necessarily the case (and specifically the British style shows that
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
outer
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
does not necessarily mean
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
double
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
).
This is why we call them
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset
inner
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset
as opposed to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
outer
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
quotation marks.
\end_layout
\end_inset
for quotations inside quotations (and other tasks in some languages,
such as
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset
scare quotes
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset
) can be obtained by means of the shortcut
\begin_inset Info

arg "quote-insert inner"
\end_inset
and via the
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator

\family default
menu.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default,
the quotation mark styles are persistent.
That is to say,
a quotation mark maintains the style that was current when it was inserted,
even if the document-wide style changes.
This allows you to enter marks of different style.
If you check the setting
\family sans
Use dynamic quotation marks
\family default
in
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Language
\family default
,
however,
special quotation marks will be inserted (in the LyX window,
they appear in a special color).
These marks will automatically adapt to the main style (and its changes).
Such quotation marks make it easy to alter the quotation mark style in one step (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
if your publisher requests a different style).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Individual quotation marks (i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.,
their level [inner,
outer],
side [opening,
closing],
and style) can be easily switched by a context menu that pops up if you right-click on a mark.

It is standard typesetting practice to group certain letters together and print them as single characters.
These groups are known as
\emph on
ligatures
\emph default
.
Since \SpecialChar LaTeX
knows about ligatures,
your documents will contain them too in the output.
Here are the standard ligatures:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
ff

\begin_layout Itemize

\begin_layout Itemize
fl
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize

\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
ffl
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Some languages uses other ligatures if the document font supports them.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Sometimes,
you don't want a ligature in a word.
While a ligature may be okay in the word,

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.
For example the heading for a new section was 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 specifically to prevent widows and orphans.
If they appear nevertheless and you don't like them,
you can add the commands
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\series bold
\backslash
widowpenalty=10000
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\backslash
clubpenalty=10000
\series default
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
to the \SpecialChar LaTeX
preamble of your document to avoid them.

Apart from static images specific scripts generating images can be used as well.

\change_inserted -1162675398 1718386882
Gnuplot scripts can also be included as external material.
Labels and numbers are then typeset in document fonts,
and LaTeX math used in the Gnuplot script is rendered.
See the

\begin_inset CommandInset ref

every output document format allows only a few image formats.

so adjusting one image of the group automatically also adjusts all other images of the group in the same way.
So you can for example change the size for a bunch of images without the need to manually change each of them.
\end_layout

A new group can be set by pressing the button

Table

.
A dialog will appear,
asking you for the number of rows and columns,
and you can select a specific (border) style.
The default table has lines around any cell and the first row appears separated from the rest of the table.
This separation appears due to a double line:
The cells of the first row have a line below them and the cells of the second row have a line above them.
Here is an example table:

The default style used in the dialog as well as the style used by the toolbar button can be changed in
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Text Layout
\family default
.
So if the default style above is not the one you need,
you should alter this setting.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Table Dialog
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can alter a table by clicking on it with the right mouse button and then choosing
\family sans
More\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings
\family default
.
This brings up the table dialog.
Here you can adjust the settings of the cell,
row and/or column 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
In addition to the table dialog,
the
\family sans
table
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
toolbar
\family default
helps you in setting table properties.
It appears if the cursor is inside a table.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In the tab
\family sans
Table
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Settings
\family default
of the table dialog you can set the alignment for the current row.
If you add a row or column,
it will be inserted right beside or below the current cell respectively.
The vertical alignment of a column can only be adjusted when a column width is given.
A given width will allow the cell to have line breaks and multiple paragraphs of text,
see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can mark multiple cells of one row/column as a multicolumn/row cell using the check box
\family sans
Multicolumn
\family default
or
\family sans
Multirow
\family default
.
This will merge the cells to
\emph on
one
\emph default
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 is 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 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:

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
\end_inset
float
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
forward or backward a page or two,
to wherever it fits best.
\family sans
Footnotes
\family default
and
\family sans
Margin
\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 current page.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Floats make it possible to get a high quality layout.
Images and tables can be distributed evenly over the pages to avoid whitespace and pages without text.
As the floating often destroys the spatial context between the text and the image/table,
every float can be referenced in the text.
Floats are therefore numbered.
Referencing is described in section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To insert a float,
use the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Float
\family default
.
A box with a caption will be inserted into your document.
The label will automatically be translated to the document language in the output.
After the label you can insert the caption text.

The image or table is inserted above or below the caption in a separate paragraph within the float.
To keep your \SpecialChar LyX
-document readable,
you can open and close the float box by left-clicking on the box label.
A closed float box looks like this:
\begin_inset Graphics

\end_inset
– a gray button with a red label.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You should insert floats in a separate paragraph to avoid possible \SpecialChar LaTeX
-errors that can occur when the surrounding text is specially formatted.

This figure float also shows how to set a label and create a cross-reference to it:
Insert a label into the caption using the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Label
\family default
(toolbar button
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "label-insert"
\end_inset
) and refer to it using the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Cross-Reference
\family default
(toolbar button
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "dialog-show-new-inset ref"
\end_inset
).
It is important to use cross-references to figure floats rather than using vague references like
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
the figure above
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
,
because,
as \SpecialChar LaTeX
will reposition the floats in the final document,
it might not be
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
above
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
at all.
For more about cross-references,
see section
\begin_inset space ~

\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:Cross-References"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Normally only one image is inserted in a figure float,
but sometimes you might want to use two images with separate subcaptions.
This can be done by inserting image floats into existing image floats.
Note that only the main caption of the float is added to the List of Figures as described in section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:List-of-Figures"

\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

You can also set the images one below the other.

To create a math formula,
you can just click on the toolbar icon
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "math-mode on"
\end_inset
(shortcut
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"
arg "math-mode"
\end_inset
).
That will create a little blue rectangle,
with purple markers around its corners.
That blue rectangle is the formula itself;
the purple markers indicate what level of nesting within the formula you are at.
You can also choose a particular formula type to insert via the
\family sans

menu.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Editing the parameters of a formula and adding math constructs can be done with the

that appears if the cursor is in a formula.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are two main types of formulas,
inline formulas and display formulas.
Inline formulas appear within a text line,
like this one:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This is a line with an inline formula
\begin_inset Formula $A=B$
\end_inset
in it.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Displayed formulas appear outside the text like if they were in a separate paragraph,
like this one:
\begin_inset Formula
\[
A=B
\]
\end_inset
You can only number and reference displayed formulas.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
also supports many \SpecialChar LaTeX
math commands.
For example,
typing
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\series bold
\backslash
alpha
\series default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
,
followed by a space,
in a formula will create the Greek letter
\begin_inset Formula $\alpha$
\end_inset
.
Typing commands might sometimes be faster than using the

\begin_layout Standard
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
,
or parentheses
\begin_inset Formula $\left(f\right)$
\end_inset
,
or a matrix
\begin_inset Formula $\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 2\\
3 & 4
\end{array}\right]$
\end_inset
).
Pressing
\family sans
Escape
\family default
will leave the formula,
placing the cursor after the formula.
\family sans
Tab
\family default
can be used to move horizontally in a formula;
for example,
through the cells of a matrix or the positions in a multi-line equation.

,
printed in this document as
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\begin_inset Quotes erd

,
seems to do nothing in a formula,
since it does not add a space between characters,
but it does exit a nested structure.
For this reason,
you have to be careful about using
\family sans
Space
\family default
.
For example,
if you want
\begin_inset Formula $\sqrt{2x+1}$
\end_inset
,
type
\series bold
\backslash
sqrt
\begin_inset space \textvisiblespace{}
\end_inset
2x+1
\series default
and not
\series bold
\backslash
sqrt
\begin_inset space \textvisiblespace{}
\end_inset
2x
\begin_inset space \textvisiblespace{}
\end_inset
+1
\series default
,
since in the latter case only the
\family typewriter
\begin_inset Formula $2x$
\end_inset
\family default
will be under the square root sign:
\begin_inset Formula $\sqrt{2x}+1$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can leave many parts of a formula,
like this matrix,
partially filled in,
such as:
\begin_inset Formula
\[
\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
\lambda_{1}\\
& \ddots\\
& & \lambda_{n}
\end{array}\right)
\]
\end_inset
If you leave a fraction only partially filled in,
or a subscript with nothing in it,
the results will be unpredictable,
but most constructs don't mind.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Selecting Text
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can select text within a formula in two different ways.
Place the cursor at one end of the string of text you want,
and press
\family sans
Shift
\family default
and a cursor movement key to select text.
It will be highlighted as with regular text selection.
Alternatively,
you can select text with the mouse in the usual way.
That text can then be cut or copied,
and then pasted within any formula,
but not in a normal text region in \SpecialChar LyX
.

\begin_inset Formula $x^{2}$
\end_inset

type in a formula
\series bold
x^2
\begin_inset space \textvisiblespace{}
\end_inset

The final
\family sans

\family default
puts the cursor back down on the base line of the expression.
If you type

you will get
\begin_inset Formula $x^{2y}$

\begin_inset Formula $x^{2}y$
\end_inset
,
type
\series bold
x^2
\begin_inset space \textvisiblespace{}

.
If you use characters in the superscript,
that could be accented with the circumflex
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
^
\begin_inset Quotes erd

you have to use an extra

These limits can be entered in \SpecialChar LyX

The sum operator will automatically place its
\begin_inset Quotes eld

limits
\begin_inset Quotes erd

over and under the symbol in displayed formulas,
and to the side in inline formulas,
as in

\end_inset
,
versus
\begin_inset Formula
\[
\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!}=e

Integral signs,
however,
will place the limits to the side in both formula types.

The

Math

Panel

contains under the button
\begin_inset Info

\end_inset
a number of function macros,
such as
\begin_inset Formula $\sin$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula $\lim$
\end_inset
,
\emph on
etc
\emph default
.
(you can also insert them in a formula by typing
\series bold
\backslash
sin
\series default
etc.).
Standard mathematical practice is that functions are printed upright to avoid confusions,
because
\begin_inset Formula $sin$
\end_inset
does normally mean
\begin_inset Formula $s\cdot i\cdot n$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Using the function macros will also produce correct spacing around the function:
\begin_inset Formula $a\sin x$
\end_inset
is different from
\begin_inset Formula $asinx$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout

For some mathematical objects,

the macro changes where subscripts are placed,

In a formula you can insert accented characters in the same way as in text mode.
This may depend on your keyboard,

You can also use \SpecialChar LaTeX
commands,
for example,
to enter
\begin_inset Formula $\hat{a}$

even if your keyboard doesn't have the circumflex enabled.
Our example is entered by typing

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

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

In an empty formula you can see that three blue boxes appear,
one for each column.
When you press

\end_inset
in a non-empty formula,
the part before the relation sign (equal sign
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

the relation sign is in the second column,
and the rest in the third column.
A new row is created by every further entry of
\begin_inset Info

Multi-line formulas are always displayed formulas.
Here is an example:
\begin_inset Formula

a & = & \sqrt{b^{4}-c^{4}}\label{eq:asquared}
\end{eqnarray}
\end_inset
Note that the middle column is designed for relation signs so structures in this column will be printed in a smaller size:
\begin_inset Formula
\begin{eqnarray*}
\frac{A}{B} & \frac{A}{B} & \frac{A}{B}
\end{eqnarray*}
\end_inset

Every displayed formula can be referenced by its number using a label.
A label is inserted with the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Label
\family default
(toolbar button
\begin_inset Info
type "icon"
arg "label-insert"
\end_inset
) when the cursor is in the formula.
This opens a dialog to enter the label.
It is recommended that you use the suggested
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
eq:
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
as the first part of the label,
because this helps later to identify the label type when you have many labels in your document.
We inserted in the following example the label
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
eq:tanhExp
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the second line:
\begin_inset Formula
\begin{eqnarray}
\tanh(x) & = & \frac{\sinh(x)}{\cosh(x)}\nonumber \\
& = & \frac{\mathrm{e}^{2x}-1}{\mathrm{e}^{2x}+1}\label{eq:tanhExp}
\end{eqnarray}
\end_inset
Every labeled line is automatically numbered.
Therefore the label is shown behind the formula number.
You can reference a labeled formula using the menu

as a gray cross-reference box and in the output as the formula number:
\end_layout

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

\family default
within the box will set the cursor outside,
so that you have to use a non-breaking space when you need a space in the box.
Here is an example where
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

\begin_inset Formula
\[

\end_inset
\end_layout

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

One of \SpecialChar LyX
's strengths is cross-references.
You can reference every
\change_inserted -712698321 1723183496
thing in the document that has a counter
\change_unchanged
\change_inserted -712698321 1723183501
(e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
\change_unchanged
section,
float,
footnote,
formula,
and list
\change_inserted -712698321 1723183507
)
\change_deleted -712698321 1723183511
in the document
\change_unchanged
.
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
\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
\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.
\change_inserted -712698321 1723183607
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\change_inserted -712698321 1723185545
For section headings,
footnotes,
table and figure floats,
this procedure can be simplified by using the outliner (see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:The-Outliner"
\end_inset
).
To insert a reference,
simply right-click on the item you want to refer to,
select
\family sans
Insert Cross-Reference to this Item
\family default
and the desired cross-reference format (see below for those) in the context menu.
\SpecialChar LyX
will check if the item already has a label and if not,
creates one before inserting the reference.
So all of the above boils down to two clicks!

between the cross-reference name and the cross-reference to avoid ugly line breaks between them.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are eight formats of cross-references:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
<reference>:
prints the number,
this is the default:
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "fig:Two-images"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
(<reference>):
prints the number within two parentheses,
this is the style normally used to reference formulas,
especially when the reference name
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Equation
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
is omitted:
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:tanhExp"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
<page>:
prints the page number:
Page
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand pageref
reference "fig:Two-images"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
on
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
page
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
<page>:
prints the text “on page” and the page number:
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand vpageref
reference "fig:Two-images"
nolink "false"
\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
<reference>
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

\begin_inset space ~

\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand vref

nolink "false"
\end_inset
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
If the label is on the same page,
this format behaves like
\family sans

Use refstyle (not prettyref) for cross-references
\family default
in the menu
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Document Class
\family default
.
The package
\series bold
refstyle
\series default
is the default and preferred because
\series bold
prettyref
\series default
supports only English documents.
The format is specified by using the command
\series bold
\backslash
newref\SpecialChar ligaturebreak
format
\series default
(prettyref) or
\series bold
\backslash
newref
\series default
(refstyle) in the \SpecialChar LaTeX
preamble of the document.
For example redefining all references to figures (which have the label shortcut
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\family sans
fig
\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
) can be done for
\series bold
refstyle
\series default
with this command:
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\series bold
\backslash
newref{fig}{refcmd={Image on page
\backslash
pageref{#1}}}
\series default
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
Note that neither
\series bold
prettyref
\series default
nor
\series bold
refstyle
\series default
predefines reference formats for all available types.
This is especially true for the wide variety of mathematical `theorem' environments.
So if you want to make formatted references to,
say,
Propositions,
then you will need to define the relevant format yourself.
For
\series bold
prettyref
\series default
,
you might do so as follows:
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\series bold
\backslash
newref\SpecialChar ligaturebreak
format{prop}{Proposition
\backslash
ref{#1}}
\series default
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
For more information about defining formatted references,
have a look at the package documentation
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
The options

\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
If you activate the option
\family sans
Format cross-references in work area
\family default
,
\SpecialChar LyX
will attempt to display the formatted reference as it would appear in output,
e.g.,
as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Theorem 1
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
,
rather than just displaying the label.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description

This allows for customization,
using \SpecialChar TeX

then you may want to use the

\begin_layout Standard
One powerful feature of \SpecialChar LaTeX
is its ability to manage counters.
Mostly,
this is handled automatically,
but there are times one wants to modify counters directly.
This can be done in \SpecialChar LyX
using the counter inset,
which is accessible from the Edit menu.
This allows one to set a counter's value;
to reset it (to zero);
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Note that the section counter,
e.g.,
starts with its value at zero and then is incremented to one when the first section is created.
So,
if you want the next section to be section five,
say,
then you need to set the section counter to four.
\end_layout
\end_inset
to add to the value (or subtract from it,
since the value added can be negative);
to save it;
to restore the saved value;
and to print the value.
These effects can also be limited to \SpecialChar LyX
itself.
And they will appear in HTML and DocBook output,
as well as in \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are five commands you can use:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\family sans
Set counter:
\family default
Allows you to assign a specific value to a counter
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\family sans
Increase counter:
\family default
Allows you to add some specified amount to a counter (or to subtract,
if you choose a negative number)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\family sans
Reset to zero:
\family default
Sets the value of the counter to 0.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\family sans
Save value of counter:
\family default
Saves the value of the counter so that it can later be restored.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\family sans
Restore value of counter:
\family default
Restores the previously saved value.
\end_layout

The dialog allows you to choose which counter you wish to modify from all those that are available in the current document class.

There are two ways of generating the bibliography in a \SpecialChar LyX

You can include a bibliography database,
which is explained in sec.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Bibliography-databases"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
,
or you can insert the bibliography manually,
using the paragraph environment
\family sans
Bibliography
\family default
,
which is described in the following section (but see also sec.
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Biblio_environment"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
).
If you want anything other than the numerical citations that are used in this document,
such as author-year citations,
and if you have more than a handful of references,
then you should seriously consider
\emph on
\emph default
using a bibliography database.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In order to demonstrate the difference between these two approaches,
we use two bibliographies in this document,
a
\family sans
Bibliography
\family default
environment and a database-generated bibliography.
As you can see,
the bibliography that is created from a database lists only the database entries that are referenced in the document.
In other words,
the database approach relieves you,
amongst other things,
from the burden to check which entries you have actually cited.
\end_layout

The Bibliography Environment

\begin_layout Standard
Within the

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.
Each entry needs to be given a unique key,
which is one word consisting of ASCII characters only.

Bibliography databases are useful if you use the same references in different documents.

\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
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "BibTeX-2"
literal "true"
\end_inset
and in the \SpecialChar LaTeX
books (
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Mittelbach,Kopka,Lamport"
literal "true"
\end_inset
).
The file can be created using any text editor,
but normally one uses a special program to create and edit the entries in the database.
A list of such programs is maintained on the \SpecialChar LyX
Wiki at

\SpecialChar LyX
supports two different approaches to use bibliography databases in a document.
Bib\SpecialChar TeX
is the classic technique that has been the only way to use such databases for a long time.
It is quite established and mature and there is a huge range of existing styles available.
But it has its drawbacks,
especially when it comes to more complex bibliographic needs and support for specific languages and scripts.
Those are addressed by

It reads the same database format than Bib\SpecialChar TeX
(although it has been significantly extended beyond Bib\SpecialChar TeX
's scope)

While

a bibliography style file (text file with the file extension

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Bibliography Processors
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To generate the bibliography from a database,
\SpecialChar LyX
uses a bibliography processor,
that is an external program that reads the database,
sorts the citations and processes the data in a way it can be included in the document.
The classic program is called Bib\SpecialChar TeX
.
It has the advantage that it is very mature and widespread,
but the disadvantage that it has severe limitations,
due to its age.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Meanwhile,
some alternatives have been developed that address some of these limitations.
LyX natively supports some of them and lets you select a custom processor.
You can do this on a general level in
\family sans
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Preferences\SpecialChar menuseparator
Output\SpecialChar menuseparator
LaTeX
\family default
or for individual documents in
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator

The following variants are available by default:

\end_layout
\begin_layout Description

This should suit most needs.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In Japanese documents,
a specific processor is used.
By default this is pBib\SpecialChar TeX
(in \SpecialChar LyX

variant specifically aimed at Japanese.
You can adjust it in

Biblatex
\family default
formats,
this only affects the appearance in the \SpecialChar LyX
workarea.
Whether the output uses numerical,
author-year or another format such as alpha-numerical depends only on the selected
\family sans
Biblatex citation style
\family default
.
However,
when switching between Author-year and Author-number,
a suitable style is proposed.
With
\family sans
Natbib
\family default
,
on the other hand,
the dialog selection will ultimately determine the style.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For any author-year and author-numerical selection,
multiple style variants are available in the
\family sans
Citation
\family default
dialog.
Some selections also provide further options like the option to uppercase a name prefix such as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
van Beethoven
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Van Beethoven
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
) or to expand or reduce the number of displayed others (i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
use or don't use
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
et al.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In the citation dialog you can also set text to appear after a citation reference,
e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
page numbers,
which will then be formatted according to the style's needs (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
with or without
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
pp.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
).
The option
\family sans
Literal
\family default
in the citation dialog allows to input \SpecialChar TeX
code to the fields
\family sans
Text
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
before
\family default
and
\family sans
Text
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
after
\family default
.
Here is a simple example where the text
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Chapter
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
appears after the reference:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quote

\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
All styles except for
\family sans
Basic (BibTeX)
\family default
also provide the feature to add text that precedes the reference (such as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
cf.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
).
This text is then also included in the parentheses,
if the style requires this.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note that these pre- and postnotes apply to the whole citation.
So if you refer to multiple references at once,
the prenote will precede the first citation in the list,
the postnote will follow the last.
Some
\family sans
Biblatex
\family default
styles allow to add pre- and postnotes to any individual reference in a multi-citation (so-called
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
qualified citation lists
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
).
\SpecialChar LyX
supports this.
If you use such a style and if the current reference includes multiple items the
\family sans
Citation
\family default
dialog will display three columns in the field
\family sans
Selected Citations
\family default
:
\family sans
Text
\begin_inset space ~

\family sans

\end_inset
key
\family default

If you double-click on an item's

\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

\family default
or
\family sans
Text
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

\family default
field,
you can add such individual pre- and postnotes.
In the

\family default

By default,
an index entry is simply a word or phrase in the (alphabetically ordered) index list with a reference to the page or pages where the index entry has been inserted in the document.
However,
you can customize index entries to look different.
You can group index entries hierarchically,
let the index list refer to a range of pages rather than a single page,
let it refer to another entry in the index list rather than,
or additionally to,
a page,
you can format the page reference (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}

g.,
make it bold for specific pages),
and you can determine the order of an entry in the list.

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Index entries are often hierarchically grouped to offer the reader a fast search in the index and to hold categories together (e.g.,
\emph on
Fruits
\family sans
\emph default
\SpecialChar menuseparator
\family default
\emph on
Apples
\family sans
\emph default
\SpecialChar menuseparator
\family default
\emph on
Pink Lady
\emph default
).
This can be done in \SpecialChar LyX
via
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Index Properties\SpecialChar menuseparator
Subentry
\family default
or,
more easily,
by pressing the
\family sans
Enter
\family default
key in an index.
Both methods insert a subinset in which you can enter the subentry.
Maximally two such subentry insets,
i.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
e.,
three levels of grouping in total,
are allowed per index entry.
Note that it does not matter where you insert these subentry insets in the index inset,
but the order of them matters and determines the grouping hierarchy.
In the \SpecialChar LyX
file,
the index entry in the header above shows an example for a two-level grouped entry (and you can see the result in the index of this document at the entry
\emph on
Index
\family sans
\emph default
\SpecialChar menuseparator
\family default
\emph on
Grouping
\emph default
).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In the output,
each subentry is on a new line and indented a bit more.
Note that the higher levels only get their own page references if they have also a separate entry (without subentry).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note also that in \SpecialChar LaTeX
,
subentries are indicated by a preceding exclamation mark character
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
!
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
This also works in \SpecialChar LyX

although you

By default,
an index entry refers to single pages where the index entries have been inserted.
If you want to refer to a page range instead,
you can do this by inserting two index entries:
one that marks the beginning of the range,
the other that marks its end.
Both need to contain the same index entry (and possibly subentries) text.
To mark start and end,
select the respective
\family sans

\family default

Range starts and ends are indicated in the index inset label via

Sometimes the automatic ordering of index entries is not the one you want.

To accommodate for that,
you can use

The sortkey you enter here is not output in the index,
it is just used for sorting (instead of the actual entry).

you can pass the sort key
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\begin_inset Quotes erd

to sort the name
\emph on

should your index processor be incapable to sort Slovenian postmodern philosophers correctly.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note that in \SpecialChar LaTeX
,
sortkeys are separated from the actual entry by the character

This also works in \SpecialChar LyX

To format a page reference,
use the

You can either select one of the proposed formatting options (
\family sans

\family default
,
\family sans
Italic
\family default
,
\family sans
Emphasized
\family default
) or
\family sans
Custom.
\family default
With the latter,
you are supposed to enter a valid \SpecialChar LaTeX
macro
\emph on
without
\emph default
leading backslash,
e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
a self-defined command
\begin_inset Flex Code

or an existing macro such as
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
textsf
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In general,
we encourage you to use self-defined commands.
This makes it easier to change the formatting,
should you or your publisher decide to do that later.
For instance,
add a formatting macro for index entries that refer to the page(s) where the indexed term is defined by putting 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 add the custom formatting
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
IndexDef
\end_layout
\end_inset
to the respective entry settings dialog.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This will cause all page references that use this custom format to be printed in italics.
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

(see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref

\end_inset
),
such custom macros do not work out of the box.
This is because
\family sans
xindy
\family default
requires you to define semantic elements in the xindy
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
module
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(style file) you use before they can be used.
In the given case,
this would require to add the following line in the module file:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Verbatim

\end_inset
for details.
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can also change the layout of the whole index.
For example,
if you mark the index list box as bold,
you will get a bold font for all index entries.
In general,
however,
it is better (and required for more advanced tasks) to set up a so-called
\emph on

If you use them literally,
you might get surprising results or even a non-working index.
In any case,
you will not get the character itself
\change_inserted -712698321 1723475153
Since the respective functionality is achievable in \SpecialChar LyX
via sub-insets,
these characters are escaped by

\begin_inset Quotes qld

so you get the literal character in the output
\change_unchanged
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\change_deleted -712698321 1723475160
In order to use these characters in inset entries,
they have to be
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset
escaped
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset
,
that is prepended by a character that tells the index processor to treat this character without its special meaning.
By default,
the escape character is

(but this can be changed).
So enter

Convenience Functions for Index Handling
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Indexing a document can be a tedious task,
since you often have to insert the same index entry multiple times in order to refer to passages at different pages.
This is not only time-consuming,
but also error-prone;
e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
you have to remember how exactly an inset entry has been inserted to avoid redundant entries.
\SpecialChar LyX
provides some functions to ease the task.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
First,
if you want to add an entry which you already used before,
you can open the outliner via
\family sans
View\SpecialChar menuseparator
Outline Pane
\family default
(see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:The-Outliner"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
),
select the
\family sans
Index Entries
\family default
section (it is convenient to have this open while indexing anyway),
scroll to the entry in question (if you check
\family sans
Sort
\family default
,
it will be more easier),
then
\emph on
right
\emph default
-click on the entry and select
\family sans
Insert Copy at Cursor Position
\family default
from the context menu.
This will do just what it says:
it will insert a copy of that index inset at the position where the cursor is.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Second,
\SpecialChar LyX
also provides a semi-automated solution to index a word.
If you right-click on an index entry inset,
you can select from the context menu
\family sans
Index All Occurrences of this Word
\family default
.
This will search the whole document (only single documents,
not master and child documents) and insert a copy of this index inset after each occurrence of the word that precedes the inset.
Note that casing of the word does not matter,
but only full words in the same grammatical form are considered (so if
\emph on
table
\emph default
is the word before the index entry,
\emph on
Table
\emph default
will be considered as well,
but not
\emph on
tables
\emph default
).
Please take care to not overuse this function and to carefully check the result afterwards.
Remember,
a good index does not simply list all occurrences of a given word in a specific document (that is a concordance rather),
but only relevant occurrences!
So as convenient as this function might seem,
it is suitable especially for particular cases.
With others,
you will have more work with removing again falsely inserted entries than you would have with manually inserting them at the right place.

\SpecialChar LyX
uses it (the
\family sans

variant of it,
for that matter) for index generation;
otherwise the program
\family sans
makeindex
\family default
,
the program that is part of every \SpecialChar LaTeX
distribution,
is used.
As a further option,
you can select the rather new
\family sans
xindex
\family default
index processor.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\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,
section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "subsec:Index-Entry-Order"
nolink "false"
\end_inset
,
how to manually fix this sorting,
but this is very tedious work).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
The alternative program,
\family sans
xindy
\family default
,
is a newer and much more mighty alternative.
It can sort most languages correctly,
and it is also much more customizable in the output.
However,
also
\family sans
xindy
\family default
is no longer actively maintained,
and it has bugs that are most likely not being addressed anytime soon.
Also,
\family sans
xindy
\family default
is not always available out of the box and quite a challenge to install on some systems (particularly Windows).
But if you have it available,
it is almost always a better option than
\family sans
makeindex
\family default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
The third option,
\family sans
xindex
\family default
,
is a quite new and actively developed index processor.
It is included in modern \SpecialChar TeX
distributions such as \SpecialChar TeX
Live and Mik\SpecialChar TeX
,
is pretty much customizable and supports many languages.
The program is still in development,
so not everything might work equally well than in the older processors.
But the program is definitely worth a try,
particularly if
\family sans
xindy
\family default
does not work or not satisfy your needs.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
All processors can be controlled by options that can be set in \SpecialChar LyX
's preferences dialog,
see section
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

The available options are listed and explained in
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

\end_inset
.
In this dialog,
you can even specify arbitrary alternative programs to generate the index.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you need specific options or an alternative index program only for a given document,
you can define the program and\SpecialChar breakableslash
or the options in
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator

\family default
.
This is especially useful if you need to pass language-specific options to the index program or if you need a specific layout style.

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.

package to generate multiple indexes.

.
Note that the package does not only consist of a \SpecialChar LaTeX
style,
but it also includes specific preprocessor programs that need to be installed as well.
Please consult the package's manual for details.
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To set up \SpecialChar LyX
for the use of multiple indexes,
go to
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Indexes
\family default
and select the option
\family sans
Use multiple Indexes
\family default
.
Note that the list
\family sans
Available Indexes
\family default
already contains the standard index
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Index
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
To add further indexes,
add the name of the index (in the form that should also appear as a heading) to the
\family sans
New
\family default
input field and press the
\family sans
Add
\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/Contents/References
\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
\family sans
Subindex
\family default
.
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.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
The option
\family sans
Literal
\family default
allows to use \SpecialChar TeX
code in the name of the index.

Sometimes it is useful to hide some document parts in the output.

\end_layout

For these cases \SpecialChar LyX
allows you to put text into branches.
The text will then only appear in the output when its branch is activated.
To create a branch,
either select the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Branch\SpecialChar menuseparator
Insert New Branch
\family default
(if you just want to specify a new branch) or go in the
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings

dialog to
\family sans
Branches
\family default
,
where you can specify and change the name of the branch,
its activation state (whether the content of the branch is shown in the output or not),
its background color inside \SpecialChar LyX
and whether the name of the branch should be appended to the document file name on export if the branch is active (see below for an example).
Furthermore,
the dialog lets you merge two branches (just rename one branch to the name of the other) and to add
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
unknown branches
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(i.

Text that should be in a branch is set into branch inset boxes.
These boxes are inserted via the menu

You can later change the activation state of the branch by right-clicking on them.

It is also possible to invert just some branch insets,
whose content is output just in case the branch is

To use conditional output inside places where you cannot insert branch insets,
like inside equations,
you can code special \SpecialChar LaTeX

In case you often need to keep all branches of a given name in sync as far as their open/close status is concerned,
you can use the \SpecialChar LyX

Use Hyperref Support
\family default
in order to set the PDF properties (if the package is already loaded by your document class or another package,
the checkbox you need to click is labeled
\family sans
Customize Hyperref Options
\family default
instead).
Among other things,
hyperref hyperlinks all URLs and cross-references in the PDF output.
This means that the reader of your document will be able to click on an URL,
a table of contents entry or on a reference to open a website or to move to the cross-referenced part of the document.
Furthermore,
you can set PDF metadata (such as document author and title),
or determine how the PDF is being opened by the reader program.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The header information in the dialog tab
\family sans
General
\family default
is saved together with the PDF as file properties.
Many programs are able to extract this information,
for example,
to recognize who the author is and what the PDF is about.
This is very useful to sort,
classify or use PDFs for bibliography issues.
When the option
\family sans
Automatically
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

hyperref tries to extract the header information from your document title and author entries.

\end_inset

\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

which is useful for presentations.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In the dialog tab
\family sans
Hyperlinks
\family default
you can customize the look of such links,
and you can specify if and which bibliographical backreferences are created.
\family sans
Backreferences
\family default
are links inserted at the end of bibliographic entries pointing to either sections,
pages or slides on which these entries are being cited.
The

but you can change these in the tab

For example,
in this document they were changed with these additional options added to
\family sans

:
\end_layout

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In the dialog tab
\family sans
Bookmarks
\family default
you can specify if PDF bookmarks (shown as a collapsible outline in the PDF reader) should be created for every section of your document to make it easier for readers to navigate through the document.
You can decide if the bookmarks should be numbered like your document sections or not.
By checking
\family sans
Open bookmark tree
\family default
you can instruct the PDF reader to uncollapse the outliner when opening the PDF.
\family sans
Level
\family default
determines up to which level this uncollapsing is done.
For example level
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
2 will display all sections and subsections,
while level
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
1 will only display the sections (collapsing the rest).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In the
\family sans
Additional Options
\family default
dialog tab you can insert hyperref options which are not among the ones described above as a comma-separated list (please refer to the hyperref manual
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "hyperref"
literal "true"
\end_inset
for a full list and documentation of possible options).
Note that these options will be passed to hyperref via
\begin_inset Flex Code
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\backslash
hypersetup
\end_layout
\end_inset
,
not via the package options.
This will exclude some options that can only be specified via the latter.
If you need to use one of those options,
you can set them by adding
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quote
\series bold
PackageOptions hyperref option1,option2
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
in
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Local Layout
\family default
(but only if hyperref is not loaded by your document class).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The
\family sans
Document Metadata
\family default
input widget allows you to insert PDF properties that are independent of the hyperref package and rely on some (rather new) \SpecialChar LaTeX
core features.
This requires \SpecialChar LaTeX
version 06/2022 at least (with earlier versions,
input is simply ignored).
The widget expects a comma-separated list of key-value options (such as
\series bold
pdfversion=1.7,
lang=de-DE
\series default
).
At the point of writing this,
the list of options is still rather small and not very well documented (look for a file called
\emph on
documentmetadata-support.pdf
\emph default
),
but it is expected that in the future,
rather fundamental PDF properties (such as structure tagging for accessibility reasons and different PDF standards such as PDF/A) can be set this way.

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"

\end_inset
(shortcut
\begin_inset Info
type "shortcut"

\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
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
The LyX way would be to use a framed box.
\end_layout
\end_inset
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_inset Graphics

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"
literal "true"
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
As result you find that the package
\series bold
caption
\series default
\begin_inset Index idx
range none
pageformat default
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\SpecialChar LaTeX
packages
\begin_inset IndexMacro subentry
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
caption
\end_layout
\end_inset
\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
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
For more commands provided by the
\series bold
caption
\series default
package,
have a look at its documentation,
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "caption"
literal "true"
\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 environments.
The things you add to each environment 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 header environment or its argument empty,
nothing appears in the output.
Defining the footer line works similarly.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For the definition,
you will need some \SpecialChar LaTeX
-commands that are inserted as \SpecialChar TeX

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

\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 header/footer environment 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
\emph on
pt
\family default
\emph default
or
\family sans
\emph on
mm
\family default
\emph default
.
If you don't want a line,
set the thickness to 0
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
pt.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The lines can also be colored,
but this requires more knowledge of \SpecialChar LaTeX
.
If you really need this,
have a look at the Internet or in section
\begin_inset space ~

\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Several header/footer lines
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In case you need more than one text line as a header/footer,
you can do this by adding a ragged line break in the style definition.
However,
the default height of the header/footer is only the height of one text line.
To expand the height,
redefine the \SpecialChar LaTeX
length
\series bold
\backslash
headheight
\series default
or
\series bold
\backslash
footheight
\series default
with this entry in
\family sans

\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
\series bold

\series default
).
If you don't know how much space is needed for the height,
define your header/footer and preview your document as a PDF.
Then open the \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
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\series bold

Rotated and Scaled Boxes
\emph default

\emph on

\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset

manual.
\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_layout Subsection
\SpecialChar LaTeX

\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

) or the toolbar button
\begin_inset Info

arg "dialog-toggle findreplaceadv"
\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

\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):

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 "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression"
literal "false"
\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 checking the
\family sans
Adhere to search string formatting of
\family default
and the
\family sans
Select all
\family default
button in this section pressed,
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.
The meaning of the specific style options (if checked) is as follows:

\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
\backslash
b(
\backslash
w+)
\backslash
s
\backslash
1
\backslash
b
\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) fully implemented.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Note Greyedout

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).

The review toolbar helps you to accept,
reject,
or merge changes – highlight the change and press one of the desired toolbar buttons.
When you merge changes,
a window pops up showing you information about the next change after the current cursor position.
So you don't need to highlight a certain change.
Within the merge window you can decide to accept or reject changes and step to the next change.
This way you can jump through all the changes in the document.

The toolbar has two buttons to handle notes because notes are often important to describe a change.

Finally,
you may just want to change a few key mappings or create an entirely different keymap (for Vulcan,
for instance).
You may,
for example,
normally write in Italian on a U.

Settings
\family default
.
You can save your document settings as default with the
\family sans

\family default
button in any dialog.
This will create a template named
\family typewriter

\family default
which is automatically loaded by \SpecialChar LyX
when you create a new document without using a template.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The button

resets the document settings to the default of the document class.
This affects mostly class options,
the page layout and Numbering & TOC.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The different submenus of the dialog are explained in the following sections.
There are so many document settings available that it might take a while to find the one you are looking for.
To find a setting quicker,
you can use the search field which is above the submenus of the dialog.
If you search e.

Some classes use special class options by default.
If this is the case,
they are listed in the field
\family sans
Predefined
\family default

If you do not know exactly what the default class options are for,
it is recommended you leave them untouched.
The

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The document language and quote styles are set here.
The encoding specifies how the document content is exported to \SpecialChar LaTeX
(the \SpecialChar LyX
file is always encoded in utf8).
All characters that cannot be encoded using the specified encoding will be exported as \SpecialChar LaTeX
-commands (this can fail if a \SpecialChar LaTeX
-command is not known for a particular character).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default,
\SpecialChar LyX
outputs \SpecialChar LaTeX
files in Unicode – or utf8,
for that matter (which is nowadays also \SpecialChar LaTeX
's default encoding).
This should normally fit your needs,
since \SpecialChar LaTeX
's Unicode support covers the characters of most scripts.
Nonetheless it is not yet comprehensive,
so there might be cases where using one of the traditional,
or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
legacy
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
,
encodings is necessary.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar LyX
provides support for these traditional encodings.
If you chose
\family sans
Traditional (auto-selected)
\family default
from the
\family sans
Encodings
\family default
dropdown,
\SpecialChar LyX
automatically selects the appropriate traditional encoding for the given language(s).If the document contains text in more than one language you thus may get more than one encoding in the \SpecialChar LaTeX
file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Finally,
you can also select
\family sans
Custom
\family default
,
which lets you specify a specific (single) encoding for the whole document.
Note that this encoding is then used for
\emph on
any
\emph default
language.
The custom list (which is spelled out below) consists of traditional encodings and some special cases of Unicode for specific purposes (see explanation below).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The
\family sans
...(no inputenc)
\family default
selection in the next dropdown menu does what it states:
it prevents \SpecialChar LyX

.
This option might be useful if you use a class or package that pre-loads inputenc or if inputenc must not be used for some reason.
When using this,
you probably need to load some additional packages manually in the preamble and specify the used encoding for text parts in foreign languages in \SpecialChar TeX
code.
Note that this option is only available for the standard
\family sans

\family default

The appearance of the menus and toolbars can be changed by choosing a user interface (ui) file.
A ui-file is a text file where the toolbars and menus are listed.
The file
\emph on

loads three files:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
stdmenus.inc

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To create your own menu and toolbar layout,
start with a copy of these files and edit the entries.
\end_layout

The syntax of the .inc-files is straightforward:
the

\family default
entries must be finished with an explicit

and in the case of the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
file_lastfiles
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
menu a

The syntax for the entries is:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are also binding files designed for special document classes,
like
\shape italic
broadway.bind
\shape default

and binding files for special languages.
The names of language binding files begin with a language code,
e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

for Portuguese.
If you use \SpecialChar LyX

Some binding files,
like
\shape italic
math.bind

only have a limited scope.

\begin_layout Standard
To add new or modify existing key bindings to your own taste you can use the table in the dialog that lists all \SpecialChar LyX
functions and the bound shortcuts.
To find functions easily,
they are grouped by categories and the dialog provides the field
\family sans
Show key-bindings containing
\family default
.
In this field you can insert a keyword for a function you want to edit.
Insert there for example as keyword
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
paste
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and you get the four different existing shortcuts for the three different functions that contain
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
paste
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in their name.
As you can see,
one function can have more than one shortcut.
All \SpecialChar LyX
functions are also listed in the file
\family sans
\SpecialChar LyX
Functions
\family default
that you will find in the
\family sans
Help
\family default
menu.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For example,
to add the shortcut
\family sans
Alt+Q
\family default
for the function
\family sans
textstyle-apply
\family default
,
select the function and press the
\family sans
Modify
\family default
button.
A dialog pops up where you can add the shortcut by using it.
So press Alt+Q to define the shortcut.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Modifying an existing shortcut is done the same way.
You can also bind multiple functions to one shortcut by starting the \SpecialChar LyX
Function definition with “
\family typewriter
command-alternatives
\family default
” and following it with the different function names as a semicolon separated list.
\SpecialChar LyX
will then use the first function that is enabled in the current document part.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you don't like a particular shortcut,
you can remove it.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Alternatively you can also edit shortcuts by modifying binding files with a text editor.
The syntax of the entries is:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\series bold
\backslash
bind
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
key combination
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
\SpecialChar LyX
function
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note,
though,
that the key combination definition uses a specific syntax.
This applies to the designators of specific modifier keys (e.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
\family typewriter
M
\family default
,
\family typewriter
S
\family default
,
\family typewriter
C
\family default
for
\family sans
Meta/Alt
\family default
,
\family sans
Shift
\family default
,
\family sans
Ctrl
\family default
,
respectively) as well as to the other keys.
Note particularly that you cannot use non-alphanumeric characters directly in the definition of the key combination,
but must use commands following the Xlib standard instead (please refer to the existing bind files for a model).
So if you wanted to bind a command to the key combination
\family sans
Alt+Shift+:
\family default
,
you needed to specify it as
\family typewriter
M-S-colon
\family default
.
If you use the dialog to edit key bindings,
you don't have to care for these specifics.
\SpecialChar LyX
transforms your input to the correct syntax.

Example:
\series default
You add a Bib\SpecialChar TeX
database
\emph on
test.bib
\emph default
to your document.
You can edit this file with the program
\family typewriter
JabRef
\family default
.
In

JabRef
\family default
you have to use the same Unix-Pipe for \SpecialChar LyX
in its preferences under

\family default
.
If you want to get one entry of the database as citation,
select it in

\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
PATH
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
prefix This field contains a list of paths to external programs.
When \SpecialChar LyX
needs to use an external program,
it looks in this list to see where to find it on the system.
The path list is automatically set up on Windows and Mac systems when \SpecialChar LyX
is configured;
so you normally don't have to modify it.
On Unix
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
/
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
Linux systems,
the path list will need to be set only if there are external programs you wish to use that are not in your normal system path ($PATH).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
TEXINPUTS
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
prefix The TEXINPUTS environment variable allows you to use external files which are included in a \SpecialChar LyX
document via commands in \SpecialChar TeX
code or in the document preamble.
This prefix includes by default the document directory (represented by a single dot '.').
The prefix can contain any list of paths separated by the default separator of the OS (':' on UNIX like systems and ';' on Windows).
If files are included,
the paths listed in the TEXINPUTS prefix will be scanned for the input files.
Note that any non-absolute path listed in the TEXINPUTS prefix is considered to be relative to the directory of your \SpecialChar LyX
file.
It is recommended that you always include '.' as one of the paths;
otherwise compilation may fail for some documents.

\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
\family sans
Logical
\family default
means that the cursor follows the logic of the text direction,
and the arrows' direction relates to the directionality of the main paragraph language.
E.
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
g.,
in embedded right-to-left text in a left-to-right paragraph (say,
Hebrew embedded in English),
the cursor starts at the right (that is,
at the
\emph on
beginning
\emph default
of the embedded passage in the right-to-left logic) when coming from the left.
The meaning of the key is thus swapped for that part;
right arrow in this specific case always means:
move
\emph on
forward
\emph default
in text (even if this means:
\emph on
move left
\emph default
).
This setting might be useful in texts that mix left-to-right and right-to-left scripts,
since the cursor then follows a coherent
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
text logic
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\family sans
Visual
\family default
means:
always move to the direction towards which the arrows really point.
In this case,
in embedded right-to-left text in a left-to-right paragraph,
the cursor starts at the left (in the text logic:
\emph on
from the end
\emph default
) when coming from the left.
The visual meaning of the key is thus maintained in all cases,
at the expense of the text logic.
