Introduction
|

\end_layout
|

|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The
|
||
\emph on
|
||
Extended LyX Features
|
||
\emph default
|
||
manual, which you are now reading, is essentially Part II of the
|
||
\emph on
|
||
User's Guide\SpecialChar \@.
|
||
|
||
\emph default
|
||
The reason for splitting this document is simple: the
|
||
\emph on
|
||
User's Guide
|
||
\emph default
|
||
is already huge, and it contains all of the basic features one needs to
|
||
know in order to prepare most documents.
|
||
However, the LyX Team has a long-term goal of making LyX extensible through
|
||
various configuration files and external packages.
|
||
That means that if you want to support the Fizzwizzle LaTeX package, you
|
||
can create a layout file for it without having to alter LyX itself.
|
||
We've already had contributions of several new features this way.
|
||
This is the place where all of that gets documented.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
This manual also documents some special features, like fax support, version
|
||
control, and SGML support, which require additional software to work properly.
|
||
Lastly, there's a chapter of LaTeX tools and tips, things you can use to
|
||
spruce up your documents by directly using the powerful features of LaTeX.
|
||
After all, LyX
|
||
\emph on
|
||
is
|
||
\emph default
|
||
only WYSIWYM, and will only ever interface to certain LaTeX features.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Of course, with all of this extra documentation,
|
||
\emph on
|
||
Extended LyX Features
|
||
\emph default
|
||
may itself grow too big for its britches.
|
||
In that case, you can just call it the
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
Overextended Manual
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
for fun!
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
If you haven't read the
|
||
\emph on
|
||
Introduction
|
||
\emph default
|
||
yet, you are definitely in the wrong manual.
|
||
The
|
||
\emph on
|
||
Introduction
|
||
\emph default
|
||
is the first place to go, since it will direct you to the correct manual,
|
||
and it also describes the notation and format of all of the manuals.
|
||
You should also be thoroughly familiar with the
|
||
\emph on
|
||
User's Guide
|
||
\emph default
|
||
and all of the basic features of LyX.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
In this document, many sections are independent articles contributed by
|
||
an individual and are noted as such.
|
||
This person is generally whoever wrote the layout file for the new document
|
||
class or LaTeX package, or implemented the feature.
|
||
If there is no mention of an author to a chapter [or chapter sections],
|
||
that means it was written by the LyX Documentation Team.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Since all the topics in this manual depend heavily on LyX's interaction
|
||
with LaTeX, this first chapter covers the inner workings of LyX and how
|
||
to direct LyX to generate exactly the LaTeX code you want.
|
||
It is obviously for more seasoned LyX users.

This chapter is for both TeX-nicians and the LaTeX-curious.
|
||
In it, we'll explain how LyX and LaTeX work together to produce printable
|
||
output.
|
||
This is the only place in any of the manuals where we assume you know something
|
||
about LaTeX.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
At one time, we called LyX a
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
WYSIWYM frontend to LaTeX,
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
but that's no longer true.
|
||
There are frontends to LaTeX out there.
|
||
They are basically editors with the ability to run LaTeX and mark any errors
|
||
in the file you're editing.
|
||
Although LyX
|
||
\emph on
|
||
is
|
||
\emph default
|
||
an editor, and it
|
||
\emph on
|
||
does
|
||
\emph default
|
||
run LaTeX, and it also marks errors in the file, it also does much, much
|
||
more.
|
||
Thanks to the WYSIWYM concept, you don't need LaTeX to use LyX effectively.
|
||
LyX has also added a few extensions to LaTeX.
|
||
Try the following sometime: select
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Export\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
||
LaTeX
|
||
\family default
|
||
from the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
\bar under
|
||
F
|
||
\bar default
|
||
ile
|
||
\family default
|
||
menu, then look at the preamble of the resulting
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
.tex
|
||
\family default
|
||
file.
|
||
You'll notice a variety of new macros defined specifically by LyX.
|
||
These macros are defined automatically, according to the features you use
|
||
in the document.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
There are several commands that automatically invoke LaTeX.
|

They are:

LaTeX was run.
|

|

\end_layout
|

|

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
When you run LaTeX on the file you're editing, LyX performs these steps:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
Convert the document to LaTeX and save to a file with the extension
|
||
\family typewriter
|

.tex
|
||
\family default
|
||
in place of
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
.lyx
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
Run LaTeX on the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
.tex
|
||
\family default
|
||
file (maybe several times).
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
If there are any errors, insert error boxes in the document to mark where
|
||
they are.
|
||
These boxes are transient and are not saved along with the document.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
If you've run LaTeX using
|
||
\family sans
|
||
View\InsetSpace ~
|
||
DVI
|
||
\family default
|
||
, LyX then executes
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
xdvi
|
||

|
||
on the DVI-file.
|
||
If you've used
|

We're going to set the record straight.
|
||
LyX produces two kinds of LaTeX files.
|
||
One is human readable.
|
||
The other is LyX readable.
|
||
Every time LyX executes LaTeX, it produces a LaTeX file that it can easily
|
||
scan for errors.
|
||
The resulting
|
||
\family typewriter
|

.tex
|

file is not human readable.

Don't even try to read it.

|

This is a rather important point: You can always insert LaTeX code into
|
||
any LyX document.
|
||
LyX simply cannot, and will probably never be able to, display every possible
|
||
LaTeX construct.
|
||
If ever you need to insert LaTeX commands into your LyX document, you can
|
||
use the ERT box, which you can insert into your document with
|
||
\family sans
|
||
\bar under
|
||
I
|
||
\bar default
|
||
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
|
||
T
|
||
\bar default
|
||
eX
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
The ERT box comes in three forms: collapsed, open, and inlined.
|
||
The first two are used just like any other collapsible (foldable) box (such
|
||
as footnotes), and are useful for significant amounts of LaTeX commands.
|

An

|
||
|
||
inlined
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd

ERT box displays its content as part of the button, and is useful for very
|
||
short sections of LaTeX commands.

There are a few last notes to emphasize:

\begin_layout Itemize
|

Beware reinventing the wheel.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
That last note refers to two things.
|
||
First, LyX does have quite a few features tucked into it, and more are
|
||
coming.
|
||
Be sure to check the manuals to make sure that LyX doesn't have such-and-such
|
||
feature before you go off merrily coding LaTeX.
|
||
Second, there are numerous LaTeX packages out there to do all sorts of
|
||
things, from labels to envelopes to fancy multipage tables.
|
||
Check out a CTAN site for details (see Section

If you do need to do some wild and fancy things within your document, be

There are a number of LaTeX commands which have to be placed before the

They go into the preamble, and this is explained in the next section.

If you already know LaTeX, there is no need to explain here what the preamble
|

is good for.
|
||
If you don't, the following will give you some ideas --- we recommend again
|
||
that you consult a LaTeX book for further information.
|
||
In any case, you should read the points below, because they explain what
|
||
you can do and what you don't need to do in the LaTeX preamble of a LyX
|
||
document.
|

\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The LaTeX preamble comes at the very beginning of a document,
|
||
\emph on
|
||
before
|
||
\emph default
|
||
the text.
|
||
It serves to:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
declare the document class.
|
||
LyX already does this for you.
|

\end_layout
|

|

\begin_deeper
|

\begin_layout Standard
|

If you're a seasoned LaTeX-nician, and you have some custom document class

\end_layout

|

\end_deeper
|

\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
declare the usage of packages.
|
||
LaTeX packages provide special commands, which are only available within
|
||
a document when the package has been declared in the preamble.
|
||
For example, the package
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
indentfirst
|
||
\family default
|
||
forces all paragraphs to be indented.
|
||
There are other packages for labels, envelopes, margins, etc.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
set counters, variables, lengths and widths.
|
||
There are several LaTeX counters and variables which
|
||
\emph on
|
||
must
|
||
\emph default
|
||
be set globally from within the preamble in order to have the desired effect.
|
||
[There are other variables which you can set and reset inside the document,
|
||
too.] Margins are a good example of something which must be set in the preamble.
|
||
Another example is the label format for lists.
|
||
You can actually set these just about anywhere, but it's best to do it
|
||
just once, inside the preamble.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
declare user defined commands [with
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|

|
||
newcommand
|
||
\family default
|
||
or
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
renewcommand
|
||
\family default
|
||
], mostly abbreviations for LaTeX commands which appear very often inside
|
||
a document.
|
||
Although the preamble is a good place to declare such commands, they
|
||
\emph on
|
||
can
|
||
\emph default
|
||
be declared anywhere else [but
|
||
\emph on
|
||
before
|
||
\emph default
|
||
they are used for the first time, of course\SpecialChar \ldots{}
|
||
].
|
||
This can be useful if there is a lot of raw LaTeX code in your document,
|
||
which normally should not be the case.
|
||
\end_layout
|

|

LyX adds its own set of definitions to the preamble of the

This makes LaTeX files generated by LyX portable.

Changing the Preamble

\begin_layout Standard
|

The commands which LyX adds to the preamble of a LaTeX file are fixed; you
|

can't change them without patching LyX itself.
|

You can, however, add your own stuff to the preamble.
|

There are two ways to do this:

|

Note that the LyX keybindings will not work in this dialog, alas.
|

\end_layout
|

\begin_layout Enumerate

Use the preamble contents you've added as your default template (see

|
||
Before adding your own declarations in the preamble, you should make sure
|
||
that LyX doesn't already support what you want to do (remember what we
|
||
said about reinventing the wheel?).
|
||
Also,
|
||
\emph on
|
||
make sure your preamble code is correct
|
||
\emph default
|
||
.
|
||
LyX doesn't check it.

do:
|

\end_layout
|

|
||
\begin_layout Subsubsection
|
||
Example #1: Offsets
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Standard
|

There are two variables under LaTeX that control page position:
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
hoffset
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|

\family typewriter
|

|

\backslash
|
||
voffset
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
Their names should be self-explanatory.
|
||
These variables are useful if you think for a moment about computer labels.
|
||
Sometimes, the size of a print medium and the area of the medium that you
|
||
can actually print on aren't the same.
|
||
This is where
|

\family typewriter

|

\end_layout
|

|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Unfortunately, some DVI drivers always seem to shift the page.
|
||
We have no idea why, or why the sysadmin hasn't fixed such behavior.
|
||
If you're using LyX on a system that you don't personally maintain, and
|
||
your sysadmin is a doofus,
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|

\family default
|

and
|
||
\family typewriter
|

|

\backslash
|
||
voffset
|
||
\family default
|
||
can save the day.
|
||
Suppose you're left and top margins are always 0.5 inches too big.
|
||
You can add this to the preamble:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
setlength{
|

|

hoffset}{-0.5 in}
|
||
\end_layout
|

\begin_layout LyX-Code
|

|

setlength{
|

voffset}{-0.5 in}
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Standard
|

\SpecialChar \ldots{}
|

and your margins should now be correct.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Subsubsection
|
||
Example #2: Labels
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Speaking of labels, suppose you wanted to print out a bunch of address labels.
|
||
There's a rather nice package, available at your nearest CTAN archive,
|
||
for printing sheets of labels, called
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
labels.sty
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
Now, your system may not have this package installed by default.
|
||
We leave that up to you to check.
|
||
You'll also want to read the documentation for it; we're not going to do
|
||
that for you.
|
||
Since this is an example, however, we'll give you an example of how you
|
||
use this package.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
First, make sure you're using the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
article
|
||
\family default
|
||
document class.
|
||
Next, you need to put the following in your preamble:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
usepackage{labels}
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
LabelCols=3
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
LabelRows=7
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
LeftBorder=8mm
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
RightBorder=8mm
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
TopBorder=9mm
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
BottomBorder=2mm
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
This sets things up for Avery® label sheets, stock #5360.
|
||
You're now ready to print labels, but you'll need to insert LaTeX code,
|
||
placing the commands
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
begin{labels}
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
end{labels}
|
||
\family default
|
||
around each label text.
|
||
This and other special features of
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
labels.sty
|
||
\family default
|
||
are explained in its documentation.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Someday, someone may write a LyX layout file to support this package directly.
|
||
Maybe that someone is you.

Example #3: Paragraph Indentation
|

\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Americans are trained to indent the first line of
|
||
\emph on
|
||
every
|
||
\emph default
|
||
paragraph.
|
||
As with all of their other weird quirks, most Americans will whine and
|
||
moan until they can have their way and indent the first line of all paragraphs.

\end_layout
|

|

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Of course, this behavior isn't standard typography.
|
||
In books, you typically only indent the first line of a paragraph
|
||
\emph on
|
||
if
|
||
\emph default
|
||
it follows another one.
|
||
The idea behind indenting the first line of a paragraph is to distinguish
|
||
neighboring paragraphs from one another.
|
||
If there is no previous paragraph, for example, it follows a figure, or
|
||
is the first paragraph in a section, then there is no special indentation.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
If you're a typical American, though, you don't care about such esoteric
|
||
things; you want your indentation! Add this to the preamble:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
usepackage{indentfirst}
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
If your TeX distribution isn't a braindead one, you'll have this package,
|
||
and all of your paragraphs will get the indentation you think they deserve.

LyX and LaTeX Errors
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
When LyX calls LaTeX, it tells LaTeX to blithely ignore any errors and keep
|
||
going.
|
||
It then uses the log-file from the LaTeX run to do a post-mortem.
|
||
As we stated earlier in the chapter, LyX generates two kinds of
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
.tex
|
||
\family default
|
||
files, one of which it uses to locate errors in the document.
|
||
If there was an error someplace, LyX will put a box with the word
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
Error
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset

|
||
at the appropriate place in the document.
|

\begin_inset Foot

LyX will occasionally misguess where the error was.
|
||
This will typically happen with tables, figures, math, and the preamble.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||

It will also display a message alerting you to the fact that there were
|
||
errors.

\end_layout
|

\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
Look at the LaTeX code you inserted for typos.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
If there are no typos, check and see that you used the command(s) correctly.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
If you get a bunch of error boxes piled up at the very top of the document,
|
||
it means that there are errors in the preamble.
|
||
Start debugging your preamble.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
If you didn't add anything to the preamble and didn't add any LaTeX code
|
||
to the document, the first suspect is your LaTeX distribution itself.
|
||
Check for missing packages and install them.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
Okay, so there are no missing packages.
|
||
Did you use any of the fine-tuning options in LyX? Specifically, did you
|
||
|
||
\emph on
|
||
misuse
|
||
\emph default
|
||
any of them, like trying to manually insert lots of
|
||
\family sans
|

Protected\InsetSpace ~
|
||
Blank
|
||
\family default
|
||
s,
|
||
\family sans
|

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

|

For those who don't know what BibTeX is, it is a system for creating a large
|
||
database of your most used journal references.
|
||
For all future articles you write, you only need to include this standard
|
||
database and reference the appropriate key to each reference.
|
||
Even if you write only a few papers with handful of references each, it
|
||
is well worth your time to examine BibTeX and decide whether it will be
|
||
useful to you.

Alternative Citation Styles

Standard BibTeX uses numbers (e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}

g.\InsetSpace \space{}
|

\begin_inset Quotes eld
|

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
[12]
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
) to refer to a cited work.
|
||
However, in many scientific disciplines, other citation styles are in use.
|
||
The most common one is the author-year style (e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
|
||
g.\InsetSpace \space{}

|

LyX supports two packages that provide this style,
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
natbib
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
jurabib
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
Both packages have their own pros and cons, which cannot be listed in detail.
|
||
If you only want to have simple author-year (or author-numerical) style
|
||
or if you want to use one of the countless style files for natbib, than
|
||
the established
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
natbib
|
||
\family default
|
||
package is probably your choice.
|
||
If you need special features like short title references, ibidem etc., you
|
||
might consider the fairly new
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
jurabib
|
||
\family default
|
||
package.

Sometimes you might need to divide your bibliography into several sections.
|
||
If you are, for instance, a historian, the possibility to separate sources
|
||
and scientific works is most likely a
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
must have
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
Unfortunately, BibTeX itself does not allow you to do this.
|
||
The good news is, though: With the help of some LaTeX packages, BibTeX
|
||
can be extended to fit your historical needs.

The advantage of this package (compared to other packages like
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
multibib
|
||
\family default
|
||
) is that you don't need to define new citation commands.
|
||
Instead, you need to prepare different bibliographic databases which include
|
||
the entries for the different sections of the bibliography.
|
||
For example: If you want to divide your bibliography into the sections
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
Sources
|
||

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
Scientific works
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, you first need to create two bibliographic databases, e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
|
||
g.\InsetSpace \space{}
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
sources.bib
|
||
\family default
|

and
|
||

scientific.bib

\family default
|

pane (with the xforms frontend: the
|
||
\family sans
|

tab).
|
||
Check
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Sectionated\InsetSpace ~
|
||
bibliography
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
Now you can insert multiple BibTeX references (as described in section\InsetSpace ~
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
|
||
LatexCommand ref
|
||
reference "sec:Preparing-a-Bibliography"
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
), one for each section of your bibliography.
|
||
Returning to our example: Insert a BibTeX reference for the database
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
sources.bib
|
||
\family default
|
||
and a second one for the database
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
scientific.bib
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
You are free to use the same or different styles for each section.
|
||
Additionally, you can chose if the bibliography section should contain
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
all cited references
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
of the specified database(s) (which is the default),
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
all uncited references
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
or even
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
all references
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
This might be useful if you would like to separate your bibliography into
|
||
three sections:
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
Cited sources
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
,
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
Uncited sources
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, and
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld

||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
Scientific works
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
The titles for the sections can be added as ordinary sections or subsections.
|
||
Since
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
bibtopic
|
||
\family default
|
||
removes the bibliography title, you have manually re-add that, too (as
|
||
a chapter* or section*, for instance).

When you are working on a large file with many sections, it is often convenient
|
||
to break up the document into several files, or perhaps you have something
|
||
where a table may change from time to time, but the preceding text does
|
||
not.
|
||
In these cases, you should seriously consider using multipart documents.
|
||
For example, scientific papers often have five major sections: the introduction
|
||
, observations, results, discussion, and conclusion.
|
||
Each of these could be its own separate LyX file, with one
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
master
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
file which contains the title, authors, abstract, references, etc., plus
|
||
the five included files.
|
||
It is important to note that each of these files is a full LyX file which
|
||
can be formatted and printed on its own, as well as included in a master
|
||
file.
|
||
Each of these files must have the same document class, however--- don't
|
||
attempt to mix book classes with article classes.
|
||
You may also include LaTeX files; however, these files must not have their
|
||
own preamble
|
||
\emph on
|

|

The difference between
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
include
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
and
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
input
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
is really only meaningful to LaTeXperts, but the practical difference is
|
||
that files which are
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
included
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
are typeset beginning on a new page, while files which are
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
inputted
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
are typeset starting on the current page.
|
||
Perhaps the labeling in LyX will be changed someday to reflect this.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Generally, the master file is converted into a full LaTeX file before typesettin
|
||
g, while the included files are converted to LaTeX files which do not have
|
||
all the preamble information.
|
||
Checking the

|

Normally, spaces in this file are invisible, though two consecutive spaces
|
||
are conserved, unlike LyX's normal treatment of spaces.
|

Cross-References Between Files
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
It is possible to set up cross-references between the different files.
|
||
First, open all the files in question: let's call them A and B in a two
|
||
file example, where B is included in A.
|
||
Let's say you insert a label in A, then want to reference it in B.
|
||
Open the cross-reference dialog in whilst in document B, and you can select
|
||
the
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||

|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd

to use.

Fancy Headers and Footers
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The default page layout is rather plain; for an article document class,
|
||
all you get is a centered page number at the bottom of the page.
|
||
This document is the book class, so it appears to be a bit fancier, but
|
||
to really put on a show, you need to set the document page style to
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
fancy
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, as mentioned in the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
User\InsetSpace ~
|
||
Guide
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
This section describes the LaTeX codes you need to insert in your LaTeX
|
||
preamble or the text in order to get the desired effects.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The page header is divided into three fields, not surprisingly labeled
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
left
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
,
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
center
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, and
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
right
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
The footer is also divided into these three fields.
|
||
The LaTeX commands to set these fields in the simplest manner are
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
lhead
|
||
\family default
|
||
,
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
chead
|
||
\family default
|
||
,
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
rhead
|
||
\family default
|
||
,
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
lfoot
|
||
\family default
|
||
, etc.
|
||
Suppose you wish to put your name in the upper left hand corner of each
|
||
page.
|
||
Simply insert the following command in the preamble:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
lhead{John Q.
|
||
DocWriter}
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
You will now see your name in the upper left.
|
||
If a field has a default entry that you would like to get rid of (often
|
||
the page number appears in the central footer, simply include a command
|
||
with a blank argument, e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
|
||
g.
|

\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Standard

|

cfoot{}
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Let's get really fancy: lets put the section number with the word
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
Section
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
(e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
|
||
g.\InsetSpace ~
|
||
Section 3) in the upper left, the page number (e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
|
||
g.\InsetSpace ~
|
||
Page 4) in the upper
|
||
right, your name in the lower left, and the date in the lower right.
|
||
The following commands should now appear in the preamble:
|

\end_layout

|

|

\family typewriter

|

today
|

\family default
|

simply prints out today's date.
|

\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The thicknesses of the horizontal rules drawn beneath the header and above
|
||
the footer can also be modified.
|
||
If you don't want one of the headers, set its thickness to 0.
|
||
The header rule has a default thickness of 0.4pt, the footer rule is 0pt.
|
||
Use the commands, e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
|
||
g.
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
renewcommand{

|

and
|

\family typewriter
|

|
||
\backslash
|
||
renewcommand{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
|
||
\family default
|
||
to set the thicknesses.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
You can switch the header/footer settings on and off for individual pages
|
||
using commands like
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
thispagestyle{empty}
|
||
\family default
|
||
,
|

\family typewriter
|

\backslash
|

thispagestyle{plain}
|

\family default
|

, and
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
thispagestyle{fancy}
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
Simply insert them in the text on the page you want changed and mark them
|
||
as TeX code.
|
||
In fact, title pages are marked as plain by default, while following pages
|
||
are marked fancy when using the global fancy setting.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
There are more complex commands which will let you insert things in the
|
||
upper left on odd numbered pages, etc., but I will refer you to the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
fancyhdr
|
||
\family default
|
||
package documentation for more descriptions.
|
||
For example, if you have a teTeX installation, look for
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/fancyhdr/\SpecialChar \-
|
||
fancyhdr.dvi
|

\family default

.
|

\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
As a final example, it is possible to include an Encapsulated PostScript
|
||
file in the header or footer.
|
||
Suppose you want to put a company logo in the upper lefthand corner.
|
||
You might try something like

LyX provides 216 bullet shapes that can be accessed from a simple dialog.
|
||
Using this dialog you can easily specify what bullet shape to use at each
|

level of an itemized list.
|

These settings are document-wide so you won't be able to specify different
|

sets of bullets for different paragraphs

The dialog provides you with a table of bullet shapes.
|
||
A column of buttons on the left of the table provides access to the six
|
||
different panels of bullet shapes.
|
||
The row of buttons across the top is used to select which bullet depth
|
||
you are changing.
|
||
A text entry under the table shows the currently selected bullet shape's
|

LaTeX equivalent and this can be edited if desired.
|
||
If you do modify the text you will also need to specify any needed packages
|
||
in the LaTeX preamble.

\end_layout

LyX doesn't stop you using bullets from packages you don't have.
|
||
If you get errors from LaTeX when you try to view or print the file then
|
||
its likely you are missing a package.
|
||
LyX doesn't restrict your use since you may be editing locally and exporting
|
||
elsewhere.

|
||
Select which bullet depth you want to change then select the bullet shape
|
||
and size.
|
||
Any changes will not be visible in LyX, but are visible when viewing the
|
||
document using xdvi or ghostview.
|
||
\end_layout
|

\begin_layout Standard

You can reset a bullet shape to the default simply by clicking your right
|

mouse button on the appropriate bullet depth button.

If you

\emph default
|
||
want to have multiple sets of paragraphs with different sets of bullets
|
||
in each then you're going to have to get your hands dirty.
|
||
The itemize bullet selection dialog can help though because it provides
|
||
you with the LaTeX code for a wide range of bullet shapes.
|
||
To make your own custom paragraphs you have the following options:

\noindent
|

The AMS LaTeX layouts are set up to conform to suggested styles for mathematical
|
||
papers to be submitted to American Mathematical Society publications.
|
||
The layouts are not tailored to a specific journal, but easily can be.
|
||
You should refer to the AMS documentation for specific instructions for
|
||
each journal (usually it will entail only changing a single line in the
|
||
TeX output).
|
||
That documentation is available on the Web at
|
||

\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
These layouts are appropriate, and useful, for any mathematical writing.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
There are two basic AMS LaTeX layouts:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
amsart: The standard AMS article format.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
amsbook: the standard AMS book (really, monograph) format.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
These layouts themselves contain only the minimum necessary to use the AMS
|
||
classes.
|
||
They do not, in particular, contain any of the `theorem' environments used
|
||
for setting theorems, lemmas, and the like.
|
||
These are contained, instead, in the
|
||
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
||
status collapsed
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Theorems (AMS)
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
module, which you will need to load separately when you selected one of
|
||
the AMS classes.
|
||
Less commonly used environments are in the
|
||
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
||
status collapsed
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Theorems (AMS-Extended)

|
||
|
||
module.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
By default, theorems and the like are numbered consecutively throughout
|
||
the document, but this may be modified by loading the module
|
||
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
||
status collapsed
|
||
|

\begin_layout Standard

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Theorems (Order by Chapter)
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
These will number the results as
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $n.m$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, where the first number refers to the section (or chapter) and the second
|
||
refers to the total number of results so far in that section (or chapter).
|
||
Many environments are also available unnumbered.
|
||
These are indicated by an asterisk at the end.
|
||
If you happen to want
|
||
\emph on
|
||
only
|
||
\emph default
|
||
unnumbered results, the the module

\begin_layout Standard

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
provides that option.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Note that these modules do not
|
||
\emph on
|

\begin_layout Proof
|

At the end of this environment , a QED symbol (usually a square, but it

can vary with different styles) is placed.
|

If you want to have other environments within this one---for example, Case
|
||
environments---and have the QED symbol appear only after them, then the
|
||
other environments need to be nested within the proof environment.

Please note that the publisher of the journal was changed from Springer
|

to EDP Sciences starting January 1, 2001.
|
||
That change implicated also some slight changes of the style files, namely
|
||
the removal of the thesaurus command.
|
||
The LyX class aa supports the newest version of these style files, V 5.01.
|
||
If you have an older version installed, please upgrade.

For compatibility, the old (version 4) layout has been kept as

In addition to these topics, the macros use three additional LaTeX commands

|
||
The institutes are numbered sequentially as they appear in the
|
||
\family sans
|

With version 5 the abstract environment was changed to a command, and there
|

is now a resctriction to only one paragraph.
|

In addition, it should contain an entry with the keywords.
|

This is not yet implemented for LyX, therefore you have to enter the LaTeX

command

Introduction

|
||
AASTeX is a set of macros produced by the American Astronomical Society
|
||
to facilitate electronic manuscript submission to the three journals they
|
||
publish: the Astrophysical Journal (including the Letters and Supplement),
|
||
the Astronomical Journal, and the Publications of the Astronomical Society
|
||
of the Pacific.
|
||
LyX has proven to be an excellent tool for generating these documents,
|
||
especially given its equation, citation, and figure handling capabilities.
|
||
LyX requires version 5.0 (or higher) of these macros; preferably 5.2, which
|
||
is the version described here, or higher.
|
||
Versions prior to 5.0 are intended for use with LaTeX2.09 and are fundamentally
|
||
incompatible with LyX.
|
||
The AASTeX package may be downloaded from the AASTeX Web site

||
A complete user guide is contained in that package and you should familiarize
|
||
yourself with it thoroughly before embarking on writing a paper in LyX.
|
||
LyX will not reduce the need to figure out all the AASTeX commands, it
|
||
will only reduce the drudgery of typing everything in.
|
||
It is your responsibility to ensure that the final exported LaTeX document
|
||
conforms completely to the requirements of the journal to which you are
|
||
submitting your paper.

Starting a New Paper

\end_layout
|

|

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
I strongly suggest that you start with the AASTeX template file.
|
||
Click on
|
||
\family sans
|
||

\family sans
|
||
\bar under
|
||
T
|
||
\bar default
|
||
emplate
|
||
\family default
|
||
, enter the new file name, then choose the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
aastex.lyx
|
||
\family default
|
||
template.
|
||
This will show the most common fields found in a manuscript.
|
||
Simply overwrite the existing text (including the brackets,
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
<>
|
||
\family default
|
||
) with the correct information.
|
||
Many of the AASTeX commands and environments can be implemented directly
|
||
in LyX, but some cannot: most noticeably
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
altaffilmark
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
altaffiltext
|
||
\family default
|
||
, which should stick out like a sore thumb if you actually just opened the
|
||
template file.
|
||
For commands such as these, the LaTeX code must be entered directly and
|
||
marked as such.
|
||
Such commands are referred to as ERT, or Evil Red Text.
|
||
I tried to minimize the amount of ERT needed in an AASTeX document, but
|
||
there is still a bit more required than any of us would like.

the AASTeX User Guide (

Thus it's probably easiest for me to go down the list as found in the guide

and offer comments where necessary.

A couple of things: 1) I have noticed some funny spacing in the reference
|

|
||
When you enter the bibliography item data, make sure their is
|
||
\emph on
|
||
no
|

|

space between the last author and the parenthesis setting off the year;

||
Ressler (1992)
|
||

|
||
.
|
||
2) Entering the references at all is not obvious.
|
||
The easiest thing is to start typing your first reference at the end of
|
||
the document, then mark it as type
|
||
\family sans
|
||
References
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
That will put a small gray box in front of what you just typed.
|
||
Click on the box to fill in the rest of the information.
|
||
For new references, go to the end of an existing reference and press return.
|
||
That will create a new line with its own box, etc.

\family typewriter

|

|
||

|
||

|
||
You can insert the

commands as ERT into a Figure Float box if you desire, but I never

have much luck getting the layout right.
|

With the standard graphics, LyX will insert a

usepackage{graphicx}
|

\family default

command into the LaTeX preamble and handle the figures in the standard

LaTeX2e way, interspersing the figures in the text.
|

I believe ApJ accepts figures exactly this way now; AJ might still use

|

For instance, I saw no point in double-spacing the text in the LyX window,
|

even though it is double-spaced in the paper manuscript.
|
||
Also, I chose not to make separate layouts for the preprint and preprint2
|
||
styles.
|
||
Since I assume you will spend most of your time in the plain manuscript
|

mode anyway, I decided not to chew up more disk space with this.

Final Caveat

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
|

Your mileage may vary.
|
||
I've now had papers published by both ApJ and AJ that have had 98% of the
|
||
effort done in LyX; the last 2% was the LaTeX post-processing and a few
|
||
cleanups.
|
||
I have had no trouble with the submission process, and I'm sure the journals
|
||
were never aware that there might be a difference.
|
||
So, go forth and publish!

The ijmpc and the ijmpd packages use the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
tbl
|
||
\family default
|
||
command to implement table captions.
|
||
As a result, a table created by LyX is printed correctly, but its caption
|
||
is ignored.
|
||
However, you can use some ERT to overpass this problem, so that captions
|
||
are printed as expected.
|
||
To do so, create a float table as usual, remove the caption, and replace
|
||
it with the ERT
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
tbl{
|
||
\emph on

|
||
(sic); you must also the ERT
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
}
|
||
\family default
|
||
immediately after the tabular material.
|
||
Study the example table included in the template files to see how this
|
||
trick is implemented.
|
||
Alternatively, If you need table captions, you should implement the whole
|
||
table float in a
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
.tex
|
||
\family default
|
||
file, then include this file to the LyX document (

Unfortunately, this environment cannot be omitted, even if you write just

Therefore, each article starts with the command

Although this can be implemented in LyX, I didn't included it, since it
|

looks ugly and can confuse the novice user.
|

Therefore, you need to enter them directly and mark them as LaTeX code

There is a big difference between the bold sans serif old cm fonts and new

In comparison, the ec bold sans serif fonts look a bit thin.

The numbering of chapter headings is made in the same way as the numbering

In addition, the appearance of the headings can be modified by using a

number of options (in LyX to be entered in the field

|

It could be seen as a matter of inconsequence, that the types
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Letter
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Opening
|
||
\family default
|
||
described above are not such input types as well.
|
||
Because of the special meaning of those types, however, I have implemented
|
||
them as ordinary paragraph types with a one letter mark in the left margin.
|
||
Moreover, it would affect my feeling of symmetry, if the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Opening
|
||
\family default
|
||
type and the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Closing
|
||
\family default
|
||
type had such a serious different appearance.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
The types must be used ahead of the corresponding
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Opening
|
||
\family default
|
||
type.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
An implementation of these types in a WYSIWYG fashion does not seem to make
|
||
sense, because the real appearance of the produced letter does not only
|
||
depend on the usage of the particular type, but also on other factors.
|
||
For example, a signature entered in the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Signature
|
||
\family default
|
||
type will in the standard behavior appear in the produced letter only,
|
||
when in the same letter also a
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Closing
|
||
\family default
|
||
type is used.
|
||
The entered value of the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Telephone
|
||
\family default
|
||
type will in the standard behavior not appear in the produced letter at
|
||
all.
|
||
The possibility to design the letter`s heading freely is already indicated
|
||
in a footnote above.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The input types can also be used as empty paragraphs.
|
||
This makes sense e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
|
||
g.\InsetSpace ~
|
||
for the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Signature
|
||
\family default
|
||
type.
|
||
If the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Signature
|
||
\family default
|
||
type is not used at all, in the standard behavior the value of the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Name
|
||
\family default
|
||
type is used as signature, whereas if an empty
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Signature
|
||
\family default
|
||
type is used, no signature value is defined.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
By using the input types it is possible to write a letter template, containing
|
||
filled input types with your personal dates (name, address, etc.) and empty
|
||
input types for other dates you want to enter.

Koma-Script version 2.8 has introduced a new letter class
|
||
\family typewriter
|

scrlttr2
|
||
\family default
|
||
which supersedes the now unsupported
|
||
\family typewriter
|

scrlettr
|

\family default
|
||
.
|
||
It has --- on the LaTeX side --- a completely new interface and is not
|
||
compatible with the old class.
|
||
Therefore, LyX supports both, though it is recommended to use the new class.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
This class covers the same functionality as
|

\emph on

|

\emph default
|
||
and a few more.
|
||
The basic items are

\family default
|

The biggest improvement is, though, that the letter's layout is configurable

at almost any needs.
|

This can be done via the preamble or with a special style file (Letter

The KOMA package comes with some default

\family typewriter

files.
|

There is, for instance, a
|

\family typewriter
|

DIN.lco
|

\family default
|
||
file that follows german typesetting rules, or a
|
||
\family typewriter

KOMAold.lco

that provides the default layout of the old

The latter can be loaded with the class option

in

, which journal-specific layout files (such as, e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}

\family typewriter

This can be done in the

(AGU articles are always in English, right? So

choose a language.)

|
||
As I noted earlier, there are other classes, such as
|
||
\family sans
|
||
foils
|
||
\family default
|
||
, which also produce slides for overhead projectors and do a better job
|
||
at it.
|
||
However, there are some things which
|
||
\family sans
|
||
slides
|
||
\family default
|
||
can do which the others can't, such as generate overlays.

|

The template file also contains some examples of the special paragraph

environments used by this class.
|

I'll describe those next.

The first thing you'll notice when you start up a new
|
||
\family sans
|
||
slides
|
||
\family default
|
||
document is the font size and type: it's the equivalent of the size
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Largest
|
||
\family default

||
|

\begin_inset Quotes erd

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

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

LaTeX magic.

|

All five of the new paragraph environments are somewhat quirky due to inherent
|
||
limitiations in the current version of LyX.
|
||
As I just mentioned, LyX forbids environments that begin with another environme
|
||
nt.
|
||
To get around this, the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||
environment isn't a paragraph environment as described in the
|
||
\emph on
|
||
User's Guide
|
||
\emph default
|
||
.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
You should consider
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||

|
||
\family sans
|
||
Overlay
|

\family sans

Note

pseudo-environments.
|

\begin_inset Quotes erd

They look like a section heading or a

but really begin a [and, if necessary, end the previous] paragraph environment.
|
||
Likewise, treat
|
||
\family sans
|
||
InvisibleText
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family sans
|
||
VisibleText

pseudo-commands.
|

A common feature of all five environments,

\family sans

Slide

|

InvisibleText
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family sans
|
||
VisibleText
|
||
\family default
|
||
, is a rather long-ish label.
|
||
The text following this label --- ordinarily the contents of the paragraph
|
||
environment --- is utterly irrelevant for
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||

InvisibleText

|
||
and
|
||
\family sans
|
||
VisibleText
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
LyX completely ignores it.
|
||
In fact, you can leave these five environments completely empty.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
While you don't
|
||
\emph on
|
||
have
|
||
\emph default
|
||
to put any text after the rather long-ish label, you might want to.
|
||
This could be a short description of the contents of the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||
, for example.
|
||
In that case, enter in your descriptive comment and hit
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Return
|
||
\family default
|
||
as you normally would.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
If, on the other hand, you don't want to enter in any descriptive text,
|
||
you'll hit another LyX quirk.
|
||
LyX, like nature, abhors a vacuum, and will not let you start a new paragraph
|
||
environment until you put something in the old one.
|
||
So, do this:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
Start entering the text that will
|
||
\emph on
|
||
follow
|
||
\emph default
|
||
the new
|
||
\family sans
|
||

||

||

|
||

||
\family default

||
Note
|
||
\family default
|
||
,
|
||
\family sans
|
||
InvisibleText
|
||
\family default
|
||
or
|
||
\family sans
|
||
VisibleText
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
Now move to the beginning of that paragraph.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
Next, hit
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Return
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
Finally, change this new, empty paragraph to a

||

Any text or paragraph environments that follow this one go on the new slide.
|

It's that simple.
|

\end_layout
|

|

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Slides are probably the only time you'll need to forcibly end pages in LyX
|
||
(this can be specified in the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Paragraph Layout
|
||
\family default
|
||
dialog).
|
||
In fact, you'll want to, once you finish entering the contents of one slide.
|
||
If you've entered more text than can physically fit on a slide, the extra
|
||
overflows onto a new slide.
|
||
I don't recommend doing this, however, since the overflow slide won't have
|
||
any page number on it.
|
||
Furthermore, it may interfere with any
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Overlay
|
||
\family default
|
||
you've made to accompany the oversized
|
||
\family sans

\family sans

|
||

|
||
They both create an

ASCII line
|

\begin_inset Quotes erd

|

\begin_inset Quotes erd

|

The label fonts of all three also differ from one another.

\end_layout

|

\begin_layout Standard
|

As with a

\family sans

|
||
exceed the physical size of a slide or sheet of paper, the extra will overflow
|
||
onto a new sheet.
|
||
Again, you should avoid this.
|
||
It defeats the whole purpose of
|
||
\family sans

||

The idea behind an
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Overlay
|
||
\family default
|
||
is a slide that sits atop another slide.
|
||
Perhaps you wish to discuss a figure on the main
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||
before displaying the text associated with it.
|
||
One way to accomplish this is tape a flap of dark paper over the part of
|
||
the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||
you want to display later.
|
||
This method fails, however, if you wish to overlap one graph with another,
|
||
for example.
|
||
You would then have to fumble while speaking to align the two separate,
|
||
overlapping
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||
s to align the two graphs.
|
||
The use of an
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Overlay
|
||
\family default
|
||
environment in both cases makes life much easier.

\begin_layout Standard

Each

Clearly, you want the contents of both the

\family default
|
||
and the
|
||
\family sans
|

to each fit on a single physical slide! You should probably consider an
|
||
|
||
\family sans
|

|
||
\family default
|
||
as
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld

part of
|

\begin_inset Quotes erd

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
a
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
Indeed, the LyX
|
||
\family sans
|
||
slides
|
||
\family default
|
||
class provides a visual cue for this: the label at the start of an
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Overlay
|
||
\family default
|
||
is shorter than that at the start of a
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
Lastly, when you generate printable output, you'll find alignment markers
|
||
in all four corners of both the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Overlay
|
||
\family default
|
||
page and its parent
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
These will assist you in lining up the two physical slides.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The major problem in overlaying two slides is aligning the contents of the
|
||
two transparencies.
|
||
How much space should you leave for that graph on the second slide? Worse
|
||
still, what if you want a graph and a sentence on second slide, but there
|
||
is text on the main transparency that goes in between them? You could try
|
||
and insert vertical space of the right size.
|
||
The better way is to use
|
||
\family sans

InvisibleText
|

\family default
|

these two environments, however.
|

When you create an

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

|

The label for a

|

The purpose of a
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Note
|
||
\family default
|
||
is obvious: it contains anything additional you might want to say about
|
||
a
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
It could also be used as a sheet of reminders for a particular
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Slide
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
In the case of the latter, you might want to make use of time markers.
|
||
Currently, the LyX
|
||
\family sans
|
||
slides
|
||
\family default
|
||
class has no
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|

\end_inset

native
|

\begin_inset Quotes erd

|

|
||
support for time markers, a
|
||
\noun on
|
||
Sli
|
||
\noun default
|
||
TeX feature.
|
||
So, you'll have to resort to using the LaTeX codes.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
To use time markers, you'll need to specify the extra class option
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|

|
||
|

\end_inset

|

This option turns on timing marks, which will appear in the lower-left-hand
|
||
corner of every
|
||
\family sans
|

|
||
\family default

|
||
To set what appears in the time marker, you use the LaTeX commands

|

|

\family typewriter
|
||
|

\family default
|
||
|

\begin_inset Quotes erd
|

\end_inset
|

.
|
||
The arguments of both commands are time measured in seconds.
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter

sets the time marker to a given time.

|

\begin_inset Quotes erd

increments the time marker by the specified amount.
|
||
Using time markers and
|
||
\family sans
|
||

|

However, a

What's a person to do?
|

\end_layout
|

|

\begin_layout Standard
|

Luckily, there are two LaTeX commands that allow you to select what to print

out.
|

Both must be placed into the preamble of your document.
|

The command
|

\begin_inset Quotes eld

|
||
|
||
|

\family typewriter
|

slides}
|
||
\family default
|

|

\begin_inset Quotes erd

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
will cause the output to contain only the
|

|
||
\family default
|
||
s and
|
||
\family sans

|

Correspondingly, the command

\begin_inset Quotes eld

|

\family typewriter

|

|

\family default
|

\begin_inset Quotes erd

|
||
|
||
prevents the output of anything but
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Note
|
||
\family default
|

s.
|
||
I'd advise placing both commands in the preamble and initially comment

both out.
|

You can then preview your entire presentation as you write.

When you're done writing, you can then uncomment one of the two to select

This section describes how to use LyX to make slides for overhead projectors.

There are two document classes that can do this: the default slides class
|

This section documents the latter.

This sets up the page layout for 7.33in by 11in paper, which is about the

This is automatically set each time you create a new

|

This option tells

TeX to use the dvips driver to rotate those pages that are set as landscape

foils.

\series default
|

Simply changes the page dimensions to those of a landscape page but doesn't
|

do any rotation.
|
||
Thus if you use this option you need to use an external program to rotate
|
||
each page or feed your paper through your printer as landscape.
|

Note that this option effectively reverses the roles of the

That is, all the major environments apart from the sectioning environments.

Since foils are essentially self-contained sections, with a title and body,
|
||
|
||
\family sans
|

Foil

||
\family default
|

TeX provides specific commands for starting new foils and these are:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
|

\family sans
|

Foilhead

|

LyX also provides slightly modified versions of these two environments called:

TeX provides some powerful header and footer capabilities that are best
|

set in the preamble although they may be set at any point in a document.
|
||
If you want to change these settings in your document the best place to

do so is at the very top of a foil,
|

\emph on
|
||
i.e.
|

|

straight after the foilhead.

\begin_layout Subsubsection

|

\end_layout
|

|

\begin_layout Standard
|

Unlike other classes that provide
|

\family sans
|

Title
|
||
\family default
|

|

\family sans
|

Author
|

environments,
|
||
\family sans
|
||
foils
|
||
\family default
|
||
creates the title on a page of its own.
|
||
If you leave out the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Date
|
||
\family default
|
||
environment LaTeX will substitute the current date (every time you regenerate
|
||
the output).

\begin_layout Subsubsection

Start a New Foil
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
As I mentioned earlier, there are four ways of starting a new foil.
|
||
For portrait foils you should use
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Foilhead
|
||
\family default
|
||
or
|
||
\family sans
|
||
ShortFoilhead.
|
||
|
||
\family default
|
||
The difference between these two environments is the amount of space between
|
||
the title of the foil (the foilhead) and the body of the foil.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Landscape foils are generated using the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Rotatefoilhead
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family sans
|
||
ShortRotatefoilhead
|
||
\family default
|
||
environments.
|
||
Again the only difference is the spacing between foilhead and body.
|
||
Both of the short versions have 0.5 inches less separation between the foilhead
|
||
and the body.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
One problem with the support for landscape foils is the requirement that
|
||
you have to use the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
dvips
|
||
\family default
|
||
driver to generate the PostScript output otherwise the foils won't be rotated.
|
||
It is possible to get landscape foils even if you haven't got the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
dvips
|
||
\family default
|
||
driver provided you can feed your foils sideways through your printer ;-)
|
||
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
|
||
Theorems, Lemmas, Proofs and more
|

\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Due to a small bug in LyX you can't have two of the same type of these environme
|
||
nts directly following each other.
|
||
They must be separated by something.
|
||
If you try, you will just be extending the previous environment as if you
|
||
had merged the two environments together.
|
||
So, how do you get around this problem? The simplest option is to insert
|
||
some text between the two environments or add a
|
||
\family sans
|
||
LaTeX
|
||
\family default
|
||
environment between the two with just a
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
%
|
||
\family default
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
in it.
|
||
This will force LyX to produce two separate environments and hence the
|
||
correct LaTeX output.
|
||
An example is provided in the example file included with the LyX distribution.
|
||
Remember, this problem only occurs if you are trying to place two of the
|
||
same type of theorem-like environments one directly after the other.

\begin_layout Standard
|

You get all the commonly supported list styles found in other classes as

||
well as two new ones.
|
||
I'll only describe the new ones here.
|
||
If you want to find out more about the other list environments check out
|
||

|

User's Guide.

\begin_layout Standard
|

The two new list styles,
|
||
\family sans
|
||
TickList
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family sans
|
||
CrossList
|
||
\family default
|
||
, are designed to make it easier for you to create lists of do's and don'ts
|
||
or right and wrong by providing dedicated environments that use a tick
|
||
or a cross as the label of the list.
|
||
These lists are in fact dedicated variants of the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Itemize
|
||
\family default
|
||
environment.
|
||
They do however require that you have the
|

packages installed.

TeX redefines the floating tables and figures so that they appear exactly

where they are in the text rather than pushing them to the top of the page

In fact if you change the float placement settings they are simply ignored.

Since this class is specifically for writing submissions to IEEE sponsored

conferences I strongly recommend that you get a copy of their Authors Kit.
|

The

\family sans

latex.sty
|

|

package and associated bibliography style file is included in the kit.
|
||
The Authors Kit is usually sent out by email once your initial submission
|
||
has been accepted.
|
||
There is a lot of useful information in the Authors Kit explaining formatting
|
||
restrictions and so on and I will assume you have read this since that
|
||
means I don't have to repeat it all here.

The

Revtex\InsetSpace ~

|

textclass works with the American Physical Sociey's RevTeX 4.0 (the

LyX has a
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Revtex
|
||
\family default
|
||
textclass, which works with RevTeX 3.1.
|
||
However, v3.1 is basically obsolete, as it works with LaTeX 2.09.
|
||
That means that it doesn't interact very well with LyX, which requires
|
||
LaTeX2e, although it has been kludged to work.
|
||
Since RevTeX 4.0 has been designed to work much more cleanly with LaTeX2e,
|
||
LyX with the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
RevTeX\InsetSpace ~
|
||

|
||
\family default
|
||
textclass should also be pretty easy to use.

All you need to do is install RevTeX 4, as described in the package's README

file.

The package can be found at The RevTeX 4 Web Site

.
|
||
Install it somewhere that LaTeX can see it.
|
||
Test it by trying to LaTeX a short RevTeX 4 document in some random directory
|
||
(i.e., not the directory where you installed the class file.) Then, if you
|
||
reconfigure LyX, it will find the class file and let you use the RevTeX4
|
||
textclass.

Probably the easiest way to get started is either to import a RevTeX 4 document
|
||
using

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

Instructions are supplied along with the class file, which details the

requirements of the publishers.
|
||
LyX includes package that allows for the use of this class, by a layout
|

and a template file.
|
||
Installation of the class file is the same as for any other LaTeX package;
|

instructions are provided in the Elsevier documentation.

\family typewriter

elsart.layout
|

\family default
|
||
is supplied.
|
||
As the Elsevier class file is based mainly on the standard article class,
|
||
most of the normal functionality is provided.
|
||
The Elsevier class defines a number of mathematical environments, which
|
||
are similar to the AMS environments.

These commands are all described in the Elsevier documentation, and are
|
||
available in LyX.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The easiest way to use the Elsevier style is to base documents on the included
|
||
template file.
|
||
It is best not to use options such as fancy headings or the geometry package,
|
||
as elements such as these are defined by Elsevier in their style file.
|
||
Ideally, no extra packages except those mentioned in the Elsevier documentation
|
||
should be used.
|
||
Essentially, Elsevier require as
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld

|
||
|
||
file as possible, as their intention is to take the supplied file and replace
|
||
the class file with one for the particular journal to which the paper has
|
||
been submitted.
|
||
This also means that not too much time should be spent on the formating
|
||
of the document.
|
||
When it comes to be published, this will change anyway.
|
||
The rest of the usage for this layout is substantially the same as for
|
||
the normal article class.

|

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

Basic features and restrictions

\end_layout
|

|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Memoir supports basically all features of the standard book classes.
|
||
There are, however, some differences, as follows:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Description
|
||
Font\InsetSpace ~
|
||
sizes: Memoir has a broader range of font sizes: 9, 10, 11, 12, 14,
|
||
17
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Description
|
||
Page\InsetSpace ~
|
||
style: The fancy page style is not supported, due to a command clash
|
||
between Memoir and the fancyhdr package (they are both defining a command
|
||
with the same name, which confuses LaTeX).
|
||
Instead, Memoir comes with a bunch of own page styles (see
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Layout\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
||
Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
||
Page\InsetSpace ~
|
||
Style
|
||
\family default
|
||
).
|
||
If you want to use these for the chapter pages, you have to use the command
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
chapterstyle
|
||
\family default
|
||
in the main text or in preamble (e.

|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Description
|
||
Sectioning: Sectionings (chapter, section, subsection etc.) are coming with
|
||
an optional argument in the standard classes.
|
||
With this, you can specify an alternative version of the title for the
|
||
table of contents and the headers (for instance, if the title is too long).
|
||
In LyX, you can do this via
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
||
Short\InsetSpace ~
|
||
Title
|
||
\family default
|
||
at the beginning of a chapter/section.
|
||
Memoir features a second optional argument and thus separates the table
|
||
of contents from the header.
|
||
You can define three variants of a title with this: one for the main text,
|
||
one for the table of contents, and one for the headers.
|
||
Simply insert two optional arguments if you need this feature, the first
|
||
one containing the short title for the Table of Contents, the second one
|
||
containing an alternative short title for the headers.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Description
|
||
TOC/LOT/LOF: In the standard classes (and in many other classes), the table
|
||
of contents, the list of figures and the list of table start a new page
|
||
automatically.
|
||
Memoir does not follow this route.
|
||
You have to insert a page break yourself, if you want to have one.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Description
|
||
Titlepage: For some unknown reason, Memoir uses pagination on the title
|
||
page (in the standard classes, title pages are
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||

|
||
If you want an empty title page, type
|
||
\family typewriter

\family default

|

That is, counters (footnotes, figures, tables etc.) will not be reset on

|
||
It produces an error and stops LaTeX whenever such a command appears.
|
||
The class option
|
||
\emph on
|
||
oldfontcommands
|
||
\emph default
|
||
reallows the commands and spits out warnings instead (which does at least
|
||
not stop LaTeX).
|
||
Since a lot of packages and particularly BibTeX style files are still using
|
||
those commands, we have decided to use this option by default.

Abstract: You may wonder why an abstract is an extra feature.

Well, it is in book class.

Usually books don't have abstracts.

Memoir, however, has.

You can use it wherever and how often you like.

|
||
Chapterprecis does exactly this.
|
||
It is therefore only sensible below a chapter.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Description
|
||
Epigraph: An epigraph is a smart slogan or motto at the beginning of a chapter.
|
||
The epigraph environment provides an elegant way of typesetting such a
|
||
motto.
|
||
The motto itself (text) and its author (source) are divided by a short
|
||
line.
|
||
Unfortunately, we have to fool LyX a bit here again, since the environment
|
||
needs two arguments (text and source).
|
||
In this case, we have to use curly brackets (in TeX mode) between the two
|
||
arguments:
|
||
\emph on
|
||
<smart slogan>
|
||
\emph default
|
||
|

\family typewriter

}{

\emph on

||
<author of the slogan>.

\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Description
|
||
Poemtitle: Memoir has lots of possibilities to typeset poetry (up to very
|
||
complex figurative poems).
|
||
LyX can only support a few of them.
|
||
One is poemtitle, which is a centered title for poems, which will also
|
||
be added to the table of contents (verse is the standard environment for
|
||
poems.
|
||
Memoir has some enhanced versions of verse, but you need to use ERT, because
|
||
they have to be nested inside regular verse environments, which is not
|
||
possible with LyX).

\begin_inset Quotes erd

a single paragraph.

The fastest way to generate a basic PDF file (no tags, links, etc.) with
|
||
any version of LyX is to save the document as a Postscript file, then run
|
||
the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
ps2pdf
|
||
\family default
|
||
command on it.
|
||
Starting with version 1.1.6, the menu item
|
||
\family sans
|
||
File->Export->PDF
|
||
\family default
|
||
will do all this for you.
|
||
There are some issues with fonts that you need to pay attention to: see
|
||
Section\InsetSpace ~
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
|
||
LatexCommand ref
|
||
reference "sec:badfonts"
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
Also, as of version 1.1.6, there is a better method that will generate much
|
||
more sophisticated files.

The problem is that bitmap fonts are displayed poorly by Acrobat Reader.
|
||
When creating a PDF from the LyX file, you need to use outline font instead
|
||
of the default bitmap fonts (in fact, you should also use outline fonts
|
||
for Postscript files).
|
||
Recent LaTeX distributions come with Postscript Type 1 version of the standard
|
||
(Computer Modern) fonts.
|
||
pdfLaTeX uses these font by default.
|
||
Dvips doesn't use these fonts by default, so to make it use them, add the
|
||
following to lines to your
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
~/.dvipsrc
|
||
\family default
|
||
file
|

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
If the default LaTeX font encoding (OT1) is used, nothing else need to be
|
||
done.
|
||
However, if the T1 font encoding is used, then LaTeX uses the newer EC
|
||
fonts, for which there are no Type1 version.
|
||
The solution is to use the ae package which emulates T1 coded fonts using
|
||
the standard CM fonts.
|
||
This is done by adding
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
usepackage{ae,aecompl}
|
||
\family default
|
||
to the preamble of the LyX file.
|
||
However, some glyphs are missing from the CM fonts (e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
|
||
g.\InsetSpace ~
|
||
eth, thorn), and
|
||
they are taken from the EC fonts.
|
||
Therefore you get these glyphs as bitmaps.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Note: LyX uses by default the T1 font encoding.
|
||
If you wish to use the default font encoding (this is not recommended,
|
||
unless you only write English documents), clear the field
|
||
\family sans
|
||
\bar under
|
||
T

|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
An alternate option is to use the standard Postscript fonts instead of the
|
||
Computer Modern fonts.
|
||
To do that, you need to select
|
||
\family sans
|
||
pslatex
|
||
\family default
|
||
as the global font in the document layout dialog.
|
||
When using the Postscript fonts, the result PDF file is smaller as the
|
||
fonts are not saved into the file.
|
||
Furthermore, the Postscript fonts include all T1 glyphs.
|
||
On the other hand, the Postscript fonts have no bold symbol font, so poor
|
||
man's bold must be used (see Section\InsetSpace ~
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
|
||
LatexCommand ref
|
||
reference "sec:pdfbold"
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
).
|
||
The Postscript fonts also look different from the Computer Modern fonts.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
To sum up, both the Computer Modern and the Postscript fonts gives good
|
||
results (with few exceptions).
|
||
The decision of which one to use is a matter of taste.

error boxes
|

|

The warnings will be placed close to the point of the mistake, and you

can quickly find them by using the

Open the error boxes by clicking on them with the mouse, or use the shortcut

|
||

|
||

|
||
Read the warning and correct the mistake, if it is a mistake.
|
||
If you have trouble understanding what the warning is about, you can safely
|
||
ignore it.
|
||
Remember that there is a hidden layer between the document on screen and
|
||
the technical details in invoking
|
||
\family sans
|
||
ChkTeX
|

|

silly.

This document is an excellent testing bed for the feature, and it should

provide quite a few warnings for you to fiddle with.

Sometimes, you'll find that

\family sans
|
||
ChkTeX
|
||
\family default
|
||
makes more noise than suits your mood.
|
||
Then you can choose not to use it, wait until your mood changes, or try
|
||
to customize
|
||
\family sans
|
||
ChkTeX
|
||
\family default
|
||

|

Another choice in the most desperate situations is to use

in LyX this way.

Since LyX has to generate a somewhat special LaTeX file to be able to match

There are two things you can do about this:

Invoked in this way, it can be a hassle to find the corresponding place

to do it.

Use

|
||
A friend of mine wanted to try LyX for a group project.
|
||
When he didn't find support for version control or file locking, he dropped
|
||
it.
|
||
This angered me a bit, so I thought that I should at least make support
|
||
for RCS (with the possibility of CVS and/or SCCS as a future improvement.)
|
||
This has now been done.
|
||
LyX now supports some of the most basic RCS commands.
|
||
If you need to something a bit more sophisticated you will have to do that
|
||
manually in an xterm.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Before you begin to use the version control features in LyX, you should
|
||
read
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
rcsintro
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||

|
||
|
||
(a man file, read it with
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
man rcsintro
|
||
\family default
|
||
).
|
||
This file describes all the basic features of RCS.
|
||
You should especially notice the comment about a RCS directory, and the
|
||
notion of a master RCS file (the file ending in
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
,v
|
||
\family default
|
||
).
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|

The implementation in LyX assumes a recent version of the GNU RCS package---no
|
||
guarantees are made for older versions.

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
This command registers your document with RCS\SpecialChar \@.
|
||
You are asked interactively

The version number is bumped, your changes are applied to the master RCS

From the Literate Programming FAQ:

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

If you have installed Noweb and LyX successfully, whenever you open a new

||
document or try to change the document class of an existing one, you will
|
||
find that there are three new document classes available:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
Article (Noweb)
|

\end_layout
|

||
\begin_layout Itemize
|
||
Report (Noweb)
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
You must select one of them to create your literate documents from.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Note that literate documents are not limited to these three classes.
|
||
New classes can be generated from other styles like letter or in combination
|
||
with other class variations like Article (AMS).
|
||
If you have special needs that cannot be covered by one of the existing
|
||
classes, let the LyX developers list (lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org) know and we
|
||
will arrange to insert a new entry, or teach you how to do it.

\family default
|
||
must be taken literally, i.e., LyX should be prevented from making any special
|
||
interpretation of what has been written.
|
||
This is handled by a special layout named Scrap, that works like a normal
|
||
paragraph but has a free spacing capability.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The down side of the Scrap paragraph layout is that consecutive paragraphs
|
||
of code will be spaced with one empty line in the source code and also
|
||
in the printed documentation.
|
||
The work around is to enter each line of code within a single Scrap, with
|
||
a newline (ctrl-return).
|
||
The example above will look like this:
|
||
\begin_inset Foot
|
||
status collapsed
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
If you have a printed version of this document you will not see any difference
|
||
between the previous example and this one.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||

\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
This layout works fine.
|
||
The only real inconvenience is that you have to type ctrl-return instead
|
||
of a plain return.

For an example of this usage and the resulting cross-reference output, look
|

at the Literate python program in

\emph on

\begin_layout Standard
|

At this point you already have a new document file with a proper document
|

class, and with some code and text on it.
|

How do I print it? The answer is simple, you select
|

\family sans
|

\bar under
|

V
|

\bar default
|
||
iew\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar default
|

VI,
|

|
||
Just like you would do for a plain document.
|
||
No special procedure is required.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

To help orientate you, I will now explain what happens inside LyX:

|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_deeper
|

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
If the document is of any literate class the generated file will be named
|
||
with an extension name defined by the

\begin_inset Quotes eld
|

|
||
|
||
literate
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd

|

the usual

\family default
|
||
extension.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\end_deeper
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
Note that the only difference so far is in the name of the file, no special
|
||
processing is required by LyX.
|
||
Given that you formatted the code using the Scrap layout that, by itself,
|
||
takes care of the business.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|

If the document is of any literate class LyX will then use the internal

LyX to Noweb converter, followed by the Noweb to LaTeX converter

Finally, LaTeX is invoked and the regular post processing continues as in

\begin_layout Standard
|

When the build menu option is chosen or the corresponding button in the

|
||
Next, LyX invokes the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
Noweb->Program
|
||
\family default
|
||
converter.
|
||
This converter needs to be defined by the user and is not installed by
|
||
default, though the Program format is.
|
||
This converter (like any other converter) will have two parts:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
The converter program itself.
|
||
This program performs the conversion from the one format to the other (in
|
||
this case, from the Noweb format to the Program pseudo-format).
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
||
The error log parser.
|
||
This is a program whose sole purpose is to rewrite error messages in a
|
||
format that LyX understands.
|
||
This makes it possible for LyX to place error boxes in the right places
|
||
in the file buffer.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The first part, the
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
Converter
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|

\family default
|
||
|

\begin_inset Quotes erd
|

\end_inset
|

|

This basically means that LyX will call
|

\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
build-script
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|

(a program or script) with the name of the Noweb file (normally a file
|

in the LyX temp directory).
|

|

\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|

This is an implementation of

\begin_inset Quotes eld

\end_inset
|
||
|

build-script

The next part of the converter setting is the
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
Flags
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd

This will run any errors that are generated by the

build-script

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
program.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The converter code looks in
|
||
\emph on
|
||
MYLYXDIR/scripts
|
||
\emph default
|
||
first, then in
|
||
\emph on
|
||
LIBDIR/scripts
|
||
\emph default
|
||
then on the path for the
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\end_inset
|

listerrors
|

\begin_inset Quotes erd
|

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
program.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The build will normally take place in LyX's temporary directory, so the
|
||
files produced by the conversion will be in that directory.
|
||
LyX will copy out what it regards as the `main' file, but the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
Noweb->Program
|
||
\family default
|
||
conversion may produce several files, and so most of these would then be
|
||
deleted when LyX was closed.
|
||
The present solution is to use a `copier',
|
||
\begin_inset Foot
|
||
status collapsed
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
See section
|
||
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

|
||

|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
of the
|
||
\emph on
|
||
Customization
|
||
\emph default
|
||
manual for information on these.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
in this case, the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
ext_copy.py
|
||
\family default
|
||
script in its default mode, so that the entire contents of the temporary
|
||
directory is copied.
|
||
More will get copied than is needed, to be sure, but nothing will be lost.
|
||
If, however, you know what extensions the generated files will have, this
|
||
can be improved by using the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
-e
|
||
\family default
|
||
option to
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
ext_copy
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
This option takes a comma-separated list of extensions to copy.
|
||
So, for example, if the conversion will generate only files with the extensions
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
.c
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
.h
|
||
\family default
|
||
, then the correct definition would be:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
python -tt $$s/scripts/ext_copy.py -e c,h $$i $$o
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The result will be that only files with these two extensions will be copied
|
||
out.

There is also a new function implemented in the LyX server, the

When debugging code with ddd/gdb, it is possible to invoke a text editor
|
||
at the current execution position with a single key stroke.
|
||
The default ddd configuration for that is shift-ctrl-V.
|
||
It happens that you can define the editor command line invocation in ddd
|
||
by accessing the

\begin_layout Standard
|

With this, whenever you are using ddd and find a point in the program that
|
||
you want to edit, you just press shift-ctrl-V (in the ddd window), and
|
||
ddd you forward this information to LyX through the LyX server and then
|
||
the LyX window will show the same file with the cursor at the same position
|

ddd was pointing to.
|

No more guessing or long scrolling to locate a point in the program back

from debugging !

|
||
One of the things that bothers people is the LaTeX font color.
|

The default color is red, since the scraps uses LaTeX font, and there is
|
||
a lot of scraps in literate documents, you may get tired of seeing everything
|
||
in red.
|
||
You can change it by going to the tabs

|
||
The next thing is the visible presence of the newline character in the screen.
|
||
You can choose the color of this particular character and make it blend
|
||
in the background.
|
||
I recommend you choosing a color that is close to the background but not
|
||
equal, that way you still can see it is there, but it is not bothering
|
||
you anymore.

Most ideas in this section require less common files in your LaTeX installation.
|
||
If you have a system like teTeX, most will already be available.
|
||
A few, however, will need to be downloaded from one of the CTAN archives.
|
||
Often, there are several ways to do something, or several LaTeX style files
|
||
which do the same thing.
|
||
We do not endorse one choice over another, we simply claim that we have

done a particular task with a particular file.

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

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

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

strange and unexpected form, between the hours of ten and eleven-twenty
|
||
on the night of March 30, 1894.

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

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

|

The default numbering for the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Enumerate
|
||
\family default
|
||
paragraph environment begins with Arabic numbers and ends with uppercase
|
||
letters.
|
||
Suppose, however, you wanted a different type of numbering scheme.
|
||
Here's a quickie example of how to change the numbering scheme:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
renewcommand{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
labelenumi}{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
Roman{enumi}.}
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
renewcommand{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
labelenumii}{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
Alph{enumii}.}
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
renewcommand{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
labelenumiii}{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
arabic{enumiii}.}
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
renewcommand{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
labelenumiv}{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
alph{enumiv}.)}
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
\SpecialChar \ldots{}
|
||
which changes the numbering scheme to uppercase Roman numerals, uppercase
|
||
letters, Arabic numbers, and lowercase letter.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Additionally, the previous example also adds a little bit extra to the numbering
|
||
scheme.
|
||
For example, the first level label actually looks like:
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
I.
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
For ease of reading, we'll describe what the numbering schemes look like
|
||
using a notation something like this: <
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
I.
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
,\InsetSpace ~
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
A.
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
,\InsetSpace ~
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
1.
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
,\InsetSpace ~
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
a.)
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
>.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
As you can see in the example, there is a label command for each nesting
|
||
level,
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
labelenumi
|
||
\family default
|
||
\SpecialChar \ldots{}
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
labelenumiv
|
||
\family default
|
||
, as well as a counter,
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
enumi
|
||
\family default
|
||
\SpecialChar \ldots{}
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
enumiv
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
There are also five
|
||

|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||

|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|

|
||
|
||
commands,
|

\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
arabic{}
|
||

|
||

|
||

||
|

||
, and
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
Alph{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
, each of which take one counter as an argument.
|
||
You can add characters before or after these, but there's no need to add
|
||
spaces.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
You can get really fancy with these.
|
||
For example:
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
renewcommand{

|

\backslash
|
||

|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
renewcommand{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
labelenumii}{
|
||
\backslash
|
||
Alph{enumi}.
|
||
\backslash
|
||
arabic{enumii}}
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|

\begin_layout LyX-Code
|

|
||
renewcommand{

|

\end_layout
|

|

renewcommand{

---those large capital letters which begin each new chapter or section.
|

Implementing them with plain LyX/LaTeX is straightforward (assuming you
|
||
know some plain TeX!) but does require a lot of work and many iterations,
|
||
as you can see by all the ugly TeX-mode stuff at the beginning of this
|

paragraph.

|

|

here is a much easier way of doing this, of course.
|
||
The
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
dropcaps
|
||
\family default
|
||
(or the newer
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
dropping
|
||
\family default
|
||
) package from CTAN allows a simple way to add such letters to your documents.
|
||
Since this package is not a standard part of teTeX, I can't demonstrate
|
||
it within this document, but if you copy this paragraph to a new document,
|
||
delete the
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
verb
|
||
\family default
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
and the pluses from the TeX code at the beginning of the paragraph, and
|
||
add
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
usepackage{dropcaps}
|
||
\family default
|
||
to your LaTeX preamble, you will get a nice Times Roman Italic
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
T
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, whose height is three lines of text and which protrudes 1 em into the
|
||
margin.
|
||
(Make certain you have copied
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
dropcaps.sty
|
||
\family default
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
into a directory where TeX can see it.) The first argument is the amount
|
||
of indentation; in this case the negative sign moves it into the margin.
|
||
The second argument is the height of the letter in number of lines of text.
|
||
The third argument is the font name: virtually anything which has a tfm
|
||
file should work (wade through the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
.../texmf/fonts/tfm
|
||
\family default
|
||
directory for possibilities).
|
||
My personal favorite is
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
yinit
|
||
\family default
|
||
|
||
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, a fancy German font specifically designed for dropped capitals.
|
||
The fourth argument is the letter (or letters) to be dropped.
|
||
The
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
dropping
|
||
\family default
|
||
package also offers the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
bigdrop
|
||
\family default
|
||
command, as well as a slightly simplified
|

\family typewriter
|
||
|

\backslash
|
||
dropping
|
||
\family default
|
||
command.

There are times when the tyranny of rectangular paragraphs must be overthrown.
|
||
In such situations, a call to the delightful plain TeX command
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
parshape
|
||
\family default
|
||
is called for.
|
||
As you can see, completely arbitrary shapes can be laid out with a suitable
|
||
set of linelength definitions.
|
||
While this parshape may look a bit silly and useless, one could conceive
|
||
of situations such as finely tuned dropped capitals, word wrapping around
|
||
non-rectangular graphics, etc.
|
||
which will benefit from such handcrafting.

The syntax is

\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
parshape numlines #1indent #1length #2indent #2length \SpecialChar \ldots{}
|
||
#nindent #nlength
|
||
\family default
|
||
, where
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
numlines
|
||
\family default
|
||
is the number of lines of text which define the paragraph.
|
||
If there turn out to be fewer lines, the shape is truncated; if there are
|
||
more, the excess lines have the same dimensions as the last line of the
|
||
definition.
|
||
The
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
#nindent
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
#nlength
|
||
\family default
|
||
entries specify the indentation of the line from the left margin, and the
|
||
length of the line as measured from that point.
|
||
The shape applies only to the current paragraph; everything is reset to
|
||
normal for the next paragraph.

As you can see, the examples in this section range from the useful to the
|
||
whimsical.
|
||
While I don't expect that anyone will ever need the paragraph shape demonstrate
|
||
d in the last section, the important point is that you can do almost anything
|
||
you want in LyX if you are willing to figure out how to do it in TeX and
|
||
LaTeX.
|
||
TeX is a fantastically powerful typesetting system and all that power is
|
||
available to you since LyX uses it as its backend.
|
||
Happy LyXing!
