Pdflatex is the recommended export tool for the manuals. Pdflatex brings the best results for hyperlinking. Some features (e.g. rotated text) are not available in DVI or PS (dvips). This does not affect export from command line or autotests (where this setting is ignored and the format must aways be given explicitely).

Welcome to \SpecialChar LyX

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
This manual is designed for all of you who have never heard of \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
, or do not
|
|
know it very well.
|
|
Now, do not panic - you will not need to learn \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
to use \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
.
|
|
That is, after all, the whole point of \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
: to provide an almost-WYSIWYG interface
|
|
to \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
.
|
|
There are some things you will need to learn, however, in order to use
|
|
\SpecialChar LyX
|
|
effectively.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Some of you probably found your way to this document because you tried to
|
|
put two spaces after a
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
or tried to put three blank lines between paragraphs.
|
|
You found out you could not and, in fact, you will find out that most of
|
|
the little tricks you are accustomed to use in word processors will not
|
|
work in \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
.
|
|
That is because most word processors you have used before allow you manually
|
|
to enter all spacings, font changes, and so on.
|
|
So you end up not only writing a document but typesetting it, too.
|
|
\SpecialChar LyX
|
|
does the typesetting for you, in a consistent fashion, letting you focus
|
|
on the important things, like the content of your writing.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
So read on to learn more about \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
.
|
|
Reading this tutorial is definitely worth the time.

is not
|

\end_layout
|

|
|
Before we get started with this section, you need to know that this
|
|
\emph on
|
|
Tutorial
|
|
\emph default
|
|
uses the notation outlined in the
|
|
\emph on

manual.
|
|
If you came to this manual first, please read the

|

talk a bit about what this

Getting the most out of the Tutorial
|
|
\end_layout
|
|

|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
This tutorial consists of examples and exercises.
|
|
To get the most out of this document, you should read through it, typing
|
|
all the little things we are telling you to type and trying out all of
|
|
the exercises to see if you get them right.
|
|
For convenience, you might want to print out the PDF version of this document.

\end_layout

If you are familiar with \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
, you will probably be able to read the
|
|
\emph on
|
|

|
|
\emph default
|
|
somewhat faster, since many \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
ideas are just \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
ideas in disguise.
|
|
However, \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
has features you will want to learn about.
|
|
Even if you do not feel like reading the rest of the

Before you do, there are a few things we need to mention, which will hopefully

make the Tutorial more instructive and useful.

thing that you need to do is find the

|

This is very simple:

|

You may want to load the

|
|

|
|
as well (if you are not reading it within \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
already).
|

This way, you can read them while you are writing your own file.

In this Tutorial, we are going to assume that you have a fully working version
|
|
of \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
, as well as a \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
-distribution and a PDF-viewer.
|
|
This should be the case on all major Linux- and BSD-distributions, as well
|
|
as on Windows, where this is setup by the \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
installers.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Finally, we have written a file called
|
|
\family typewriter
|
|
example_raw.lyx
|
|
\family default
|
|
to let you practice your \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
skills.
|
|
Imagine that it was typed by someone who did not know about any of \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
's great
|
|
features.
|
|
As you learn new \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
functions, we will suggest that you fix those parts of
|
|
|
|
\family typewriter
|
|
example_raw.lyx
|
|
\family default
|
|
.
|
|
It also contains `subtle' hints about how to fix things.

If you want to cheat, or check what you have done, there is also a file
|
|
called
|
|
\family typewriter
|
|
example_lyxified.lyx
|
|
\family default

which contains the same text written and typeset by a \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
master.

The example files can be found in the

|
\family typewriter

directory of \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
's installation folder.
|
|
Open the document

As you fix parts of the raw document, check to see how those changes affect
|
|
the output.

By the way, the

They will show you how to do various fancy things with \SpecialChar LyX

do something fancy in \SpecialChar LyX

handles whitespace.

As many times as you hit

will not let you type even one space.
|

The

no tab stops! There is no ruler at the top of the page to let you set tabs

Many word processors are based on the WYSIWYG principle:
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset

|
|
|
What You See Is What You Get.
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
\SpecialChar LyX
|
|
, on the other hand, is based on the principle that
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
What You See Is What You
|
|
\emph on
|

|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
You type what you mean and \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
will take care of typesetting it for you so
|
|
that the output looks nice.
|
|
A
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Return
|
|
\family default
|
|
grammatically separates paragraphs and a
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Space
|
|
\family default
|
|
grammatically separates words; so there is no reason to have several of
|
|
them in a row; a
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Tab
|
|
\family default
|
|
has no grammatical function at all - so \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
does not support it.
|
|
Using \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
, you will spend more of your time worrying about the
|
|
\emph on
|

|

of your document and less time worrying about the
|
|

\SpecialChar LyX
|
|
does have (many) ways to fine-tune the formatting of your document.
|
|
After all, \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
might not typeset
|
|
\emph on
|
|
exactly
|
|
\emph default
|
|
what you mean.
|
|
The
|
|
\emph on
|
|
User's Guide
|
|
\emph default
|
|
has information about all that.
|
|
It includes horizontal fills and vertical space — which are more powerful
|
|
and versatile than multiple spaces or blank lines — and ways to change
|
|
font sizes, character styles, and paragraph alignments by hand.
|
|
The idea, though, is that you can write your whole document, focusing on
|
|
content, and just worry about that fine-tuning at the end.
|
|
With standard word processors, you will be distracted by document formatting
|
|
throughout the writing process.

Most of a document is made up of regular text.

Section titles (chapter, subsection, etc.) let the reader know that a new

topic or subtopic will be discussed.
|
|
Certain types of documents have special environments.
|

A journal article will have an abstract and a title.
|

A letter will have neither of these, but will probably have an environment

that gives the writer's address.

philosophy of \SpecialChar LyX
|

.
|
|
A given environment may require a certain font style, font size, indenting,
|
|
line spacing, and more.
|
|
This problem is aggravated, because the exact formatting for a given environmen
|
|
t may change: one journal may use boldface, 18 point, centered type for
|
|
section titles while another uses italicized, 15 point, left justified
|
|
type; different languages may have different standards for indenting; and
|
|
bibliography formats can vary widely.

\SpecialChar LyX

lets you avoid learning all the different formatting styles.

Finally, you may want to have sections or subsections that are not numbered.

|

The various list environments free you from hitting

a million times when writing an outline, or from renumbering a whole list

Different types of documents logically require different list environments:

Let us write a list of reasons why \SpecialChar LyX

|

Somewhere in your document, type:

\end_layout

|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|

|
|
\SpecialChar LyX

\end_layout

|
|

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
and hit
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Return
|

|
|
Now select

\begin_inset Info

|

|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
).
|
|
\SpecialChar LyX
|
|
writes a
|

|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|

|

|
|
on the line.
|
|
Type in your reasons:
|

List environments, unlike headings, do not end when you type
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Return
|
|
\family default
|
|
.
|
|
Instead, \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
assumes you are going on to the next item in the list.
|
|
The above will therefore result in a three-item list.
|
|
If you want more than one paragraph within one list
|
|
\emph on
|
|
item
|
|
\emph default
|
|
, one way is to use the
|
|
\family sans

|
|
\begin_inset space ~
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
Break
|
|
\family default
|
|
, which you get by typing
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Ctrl+Return
|
|
\family default
|
|
.
|
|
In order to get out of the list, you need to reselect the
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Standard
|
|
\family default
|
|
environment (or just use the key binding
|
|
\begin_inset Info

|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
).
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
You now have a beautiful itemized list.
|
|
You might want to run \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
to see how the list looks when printed out.
|
|
But what if you wanted to number the reasons? Well, just select the whole

|
\begin_inset Foot

|
\begin_layout Plain Layout

|
section title) unless you also select the paragraph
|
|
\emph on
|
|
before
|
|
\emph default
|
|
it, which you probably do not want to do.
|
|
This is on purpose because the bullet or number depends on the document
|
|
settings or text position, respectively.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|

For those two environments, each list item is made up of a term, which

the paragraph (until you hit

The term is either typeset in boldface (

The previous chapter hopefully allowed you to get used to writing in \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
.
|
|
It introduced you to the basic editing operations in \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
, as well as the powerful
|
|
method of writing with environments.
|
|
Most people who use \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
, though, will want to write documents: papers, articles,
|
|
books, manuals, or letters.
|
|
This chapter is meant to take you from simply writing text with \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
to writing
|
|
a complete document.
|
|
It will introduce you to text classes, which allow you to write different
|
|
sorts of documents.
|
|
It will then describe many of the additions that turn text into a document,
|
|
such as titles, footnotes, cross references, bibliographies, and tables
|
|
of contents.

Different sorts of documents should be typeset differently.
|
|
For example, books are generally printed double-sided, while articles are
|
|
single-sided.
|
|
In addition, many documents contain special environments: letters contain
|
|
some environments — such as the sender's address and the signature — which
|
|
do not make sense in a book or article.

|
|
Document classes are another major part of the WYSIWYM philosophy; they

tell \SpecialChar LyX

how to typeset the document, so you do not need to know how.

|

If you change your document to the

However, you can now use the

Font sizes, one- or two-column printing, and page headings are just some
|
|
of the ways journals' typesettings differ from one another.
|
|
As the Computer Age continues to mature, journals have begun accepting
|
|
electronic submissions, creating \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|

\begin_inset Quotes eld

|

|
so that authors can submit correctly typeset articles.
|
|
\SpecialChar LyX
|
|
is set up to support this as well.
|
|
For example, \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
supports typesetting (and extra environments) for the American
|
|
Mathematics Society journals using the

Templates: Writing a Letter
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
One way to write a letter would be to open a new file, and choose a
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Letter
|
|
\family default
|
|
class in the
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
|
|
Settings
|
|
\family default
|
|
dialog.
|
|
While this is the most obvious way to write a letter, it seems like extra
|
|
work.
|
|
Every time you write a business letter, you want to have your address,
|
|
the address to which you are sending it, a body, a signature, etc.
|
|
\SpecialChar LyX
|
|
therefore has a
|
|
\emph on
|
|
template
|
|
\emph default
|
|
for letters, which contains a sample letter; once you have a template,
|
|
you can just replace a couple of parts of the letter with your text each
|
|
time you write a letter.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Open a new file with
|
|
\family sans
|
|
File\SpecialChar menuseparator
|
|
New
|
|
\begin_inset space ~

|
|
\begin_inset space ~
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
Template
|
|
\family default
|
|
.
|
|
Select
|
|
\family typewriter
|
|
letter.lyx
|
|
\family default
|
|
as the template.
|
|
Save and print the file to see how the various environments are typeset.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
When you look at the
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Environment
|
|
\family default
|
|
box, you will see several environments, like the
|
|
\family sans
|
|
My
|
|
\begin_inset space ~
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
Address
|
|
\family default
|
|
environment, that do not exist in most other document classes.
|
|
Others, like
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Description
|
|
\family default
|
|
, are familiar.
|
|
You can play around for a while to figure out how the various environments
|
|
work.
|
|
You will notice for example that the
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Signature
|
|
\family default
|
|
environment has the word
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
Signature:
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
in red before the actual text of the signature.
|
|
This word does not show up in the actual letter, as you will see if you
|
|
view/export the file.
|
|
It is just there to let you know where the signature goes.
|
|
Also, note that it does not matter where in the file the
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Signature
|
|
\family default
|
|
line is placed.
|
|
Remember, \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
is WYSIWYM; you can put the
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Signature
|
|
\family default
|
|
environment anywhere you want, but \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
knows that in the printout, the signature
|
|
should be at the end.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
A template is just a regular \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
file.
|
|
This means you can fill in your address and signature and save the file
|
|
as a new template.
|
|
From now on, any time you want to write a letter, you can use the new template
|
|
to save time.
|
|
We do not have to suggest an actual

One warning, if you are writing from a template.
|
|
If you erase all of the text in an environment — for example, if you erase
|
|
the whole
|
|
\family sans
|
|
My
|
|
\begin_inset space ~
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
Address
|
|
\family default
|
|
field so that you can replace it with your own — and then you move the
|
|
cursor without writing any text, the environment may disappear.
|
|
This is because most environments cannot exist without any text in them.
|
|
Just reselect the environment from the
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Environment
|
|
\family default
|
|
box to get it back.

Templates can be a huge time-saver, and we urge you to use them whenever
|
|
possible.
|
|
In addition, they can help a person learn how to use some of the fancier
|
|
document classes.
|
|
Finally, they may be useful for a person who is configuring \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
for a bunch
|
|
of less computer-aware users.
|
|
When they are first learning \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
, it will be less intimidating if they have
|
|
a letter template customized for their company, for example.

\SpecialChar LaTeX

is used by many scientists because it outputs great looking equations,
|
|
avoiding the control characters used by word processors and their equation
|
|
editors.
|
|
Many of these scientists are frustrated, however, because writing equations
|
|
in \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
is more like programming than writing.
|
|
Happily, \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
has WYSIWYM support for equations.
|
|
If you are used to \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
, you will find that all of the usual \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
math commands
|
|
can be typed in normally, but they will show up in a WYSIWYM fashion.
|
|
If, on the other hand, you have never written in \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|

|
|

|

I like what Einstein said, E=mc^2, because it is so simple.
|
|
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Now, that equation does not look very good in \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
and in the output; there
|
|
is no space between the letters and the equals sign, and you would like
|
|
to write an actual superscript for the

|

|
|
That bad typesetting happened because we did not tell \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
that we were writing
|
|
a mathematical expression, so it typeset the equation like regular old
|
|
text.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
But we can create a formula that will be typeset properly.
|
|
Highlight the equation and click the toolbar button

\begin_inset Info

If nothing is highlighted \SpecialChar LyX

inserts a little blue square, which is an empty

|
|
The expression appears in blue and the blue square disappears as soon as
|
|
the formula is not empty.
|
|
Now type
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Esc
|
|
\family default
|
|
to leave the equation.
|
|
The purple markers disappear, leaving the cursor to the right of the expression.
|
|
Now, if you type something, it will be regular text.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Looking at the output you will notice that the expression was typeset nicely,
|

with spaces between the letters and the equals sign, and a superscript

\begin_layout Standard

This math editor is another example of the WYSIWYM philosophy.
|

In \SpecialChar LaTeX

|
|
\family typewriter
|
|
|
|
\backslash
|
|
sqrt
|
|
\family default
|
|
; this can be frustrating, because you cannot see what an expression looks

like until you run the file under \SpecialChar LaTeX
|

and you may have to spend time, for

Just type what you want in the insertion point.

There are two sets of decorations: those that resize with the text you

Delimiters such as parentheses, brackets, and braces work similarly, but

are a bit more complicated.
|

Hit the delimiter button
|
|
\begin_inset Info

|

arg "dialog-show mathdelimiter"
|

\end_inset
|
|
|

to pop up the
|
|
\family sans

|
Delimiter
|
|
\family default

dialog.
|
|
Your current selection of delimiters is displayed in a box.
|
|
It is a pair of parentheses by default, but you can choose a pair of braces,
|
|
a brace and a parenthesis, or choose the empty square to have something
|
|
like
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin_inset Formula $a=\left\langle 7\right.$
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
(the empty delimiter is displayed as a broken line in \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
, but will not show
|
|
up in the output).
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard

If you are lazy, you can type actual parentheses in math mode, rather than
|
|
using the
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Delimiter
|
|
\family default
|
|
dialog.
|
|
However, those parentheses will be the same size as regular text, which
|
|
will look bad if you have a big fraction or matrix inside the parentheses.
|
|
So it is better to use one of the three delimiter buttons that insert them
|
|
directly, for example
|
|
\begin_inset Info
|
|
type "icon"
|
|
arg "math-delim ( )"
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
You can also put delimiters or a square root sign or a decoration on already
|
|
existing formula parts.
|
|
Select the portion of the formula that you want to adjust, and then click
|
|
on the button you want from the
|
|
\family sans

|
|
\begin_inset space ~

Once you have learned about matrices, this is how you will put parentheses

All of the expressions we have written so far have been on the same line
|

as the text that came before and after them, otherwise known as inline

|
expressions.
|
|
This is fine for short, simple expressions, but if you want to write larger
|
|
ones, or if you want your expressions to stand out from the text, you need
|
|
to write them in display mode.
|
|
In addition, only displayed expressions can be labeled and numbered (see
|
|
the
|
|
\emph on
|

Display mode has a couple differences from inline mode:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Itemize
|
|
The default font is larger for a few symbols, like
|
|
\begin_inset Formula $\sum$
|

|
|
|
and
|
|
\begin_inset Formula $\int$

\end_layout
|
|

\begin_layout Itemize

written under and over rather than next to the symbols
|

\end_layout

|
|
\begin_layout Itemize
|
|
Text is centered
|
|
\end_layout
|
|

Other than these differences, though, displayed expressions and inline expressio
|

ns are very similar.
|

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
One final note about the way displayed formulas are typeset: be careful
|
|
about whether you are putting your equation into a new paragraph or not.
|
|
If your formula is in the middle of a sentence or paragraph, then do not
|
|
press
|
|
\family sans
|
|
Return
|
|
\family default
|
|
.
|
|
Doing so will cause the text
|
|
\emph on
|
|
after
|
|
\emph default
|
|
the formula to start a new paragraph.
|
|
That text will be indented or follow a blank line, depending on your document
|
|
paragraph settings, which is probably not what you want.

However, some of those who begin to use \SpecialChar LyX

If you are such a person, you may be wondering if \SpecialChar LyX

can really do everything

can do.
|

The short answer is that \SpecialChar LyX

can do pretty much everything \SpecialChar LaTeX

can do in one

\SpecialChar LyX

cannot do absolutely everything that \SpecialChar LaTeX

can do.
|

Some fancy functions are not supported at all, while some work but are

not WYSIWYM.
|
|
\SpecialChar TeX

mode allows users to get the full flexibility of \SpecialChar LaTeX
|

, while having all the

convenient features of \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
, like WYSIWYM math, tables, and editing.
|
|
\SpecialChar LyX
|

However, by typing

|
|
This will call the program
|
|
\family typewriter
|
|
tex2lyx
|
|
\family default
|
|
which will create a file foo.lyx from the file foo.tex.
|
|
\SpecialChar LyX
|
|
will then open that file.
|
|
If the translation does not work, you can try calling
|
|
\family typewriter
|

tex2lyx
|
|
\family default
|
|
from the command line, possibly using fancier options.

Even when the translation does work,
|

\family typewriter

tex2lyx

|
|
may not translate everything, though it does handle most legal \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
.
|
|
It will leave things it does not understand in \SpecialChar TeX

|
mode; so, after translating
|
|
a file with
|
|
\family typewriter
|
|
tex2lyx
|

, you can look for the red text and manually edit it to get it right.

\family typewriter

The manpage describes which \SpecialChar LaTeX

what bugs you might run into (and how to get around them), and how to use

the various options.
|

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

It is important to understand that
|

\family typewriter
|

tex2lyx

\family default
|
|
can only translate files whose document class is
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld

|
known
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|

to \SpecialChar LyX
|

, that is, for which there is a corresponding \SpecialChar LyX
|
|
|
|
\family sans
|
|
layout file
|
|
\family default
|
|
.
|
|
If there is no layout file, then you will get an error saying that the
|
|
conversion could not be performed.
|
|
So, unless you have a layout for the document class of your \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
file,
|
|
\family typewriter
|
|
tex2lyx
|
|
\family default
|
|
simply will not know how to translate the \SpecialChar LaTeX
|
|
that it finds there into things

\SpecialChar LyX

understands.
