This manual covers the customization features present in LyX.
|
|
In it, we discuss issues like keyboard shortcuts, screen previewing options,
|
|
printer options, sending commands to LyX via the LyX Server, internationalizati
|
|
on, installing new LaTeX classes and LyX layouts, etc.
|
|
We can't possibly hope to touch on everything you can change---our developers
|
|
add new features faster than we can document them---but we will explain
|
|
the most common customizations and hopefully point you in the right direction
|
|
for some of the more obscure ones.

This chapter aims to help you to find your way through the LyX configuration
|
|
files.
|
|
Before continuing to read this chapter, you should find out where your
|
|
LyX library and user directories are by using
|

|

The library directory is the place where LyX places its system-wide configurati
|
|

We will call the former

Most customization that you will want to do in LyX is possible through
|
|
this dialog.
|

However, many other inner aspects of LyX can be customized by modifying

the files in

The configuration freedom of the local configuration directory may not suffice
|
|
if you want to have more than one configuration at your disposal.
|
|
For example, you may want to be use different key bindings or printer settings
|
|
at different times.
|
|
You can achieve this by having several such directories.
|
|
You then specify which directory to use at run-time.

|
not from the default directory.
|
|
(You can determine the default directory by running LyX without the

\begin_layout Plain Layout

|

switch.) If the specified directory does not exist, LyX offers to create
|
|
it for you, just like it does for the default directory on the first time
|
|
you run the program.
|
|
You can modify the configuration options in this additional user directory
|
|
exactly as you would for the default directory.
|
|
These directories are completely independent (but read on).
|
|
Note that setting the environment variable
|
|

|
to some value has exactly the same effect.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|

|
|
Having several configurations also requires more maintenance: if you want
|
|
to add a new layout to

|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
which you want available from all your configurations, you must add it
|
|
to each directory separately.
|
|
You can avoid this with the following trick: after LyX creates the additional
|
|
directory, most of the subdirectories (see above) are empty.
|
|
If you want the new configuration to mirror an existing one, replace the
|
|
empty subdirectory with a symbolic link to the matching subdirectory in
|
|
the existing configuration.
|
|
Take care with the

The font used to display your documents on the LyX screen is very important,
|
|
since you'll be reading all your documents with this font.
|
|
Therefore it is important that the font be as readable and good-looking
|
|
as possible.
|
|
The LyX team tried to provide the best possible default font for you, but
|
|
since systems can be so different, it's quite possible that the default
|
|
fonts will be sub-optimal on your system.
|
|
Fortunately, you can do something about this.
|
|
Before we explain how, you should learn a bit more about fonts so that
|
|
you are better prepared for choosing your fonts.
|
|
There are trade-offs that are specific to your preferences and the capabilities
|
|
of your system.

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Basically, screen fonts come in two different kinds: scalable outline fonts
|
|
and non-scalable bitmap fonts.
|
|
This distinction seems a bit arbitrary, since non-scalable fonts are actually
|
|
scalable in most modern font renderers.
|
|
The difference lies in the
|
|
\emph on
|
|
quality
|
|
\emph default
|
|
of the scaling and the
|
|
\emph on
|
|
speed
|
|
\emph default
|
|
of display.
|
|
The most important decision is thus whether you should use non-scalable
|
|
bitmap fonts or scalable outline fonts.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
The scalable fonts are built from
|
|
\emph on
|
|
outlines
|
|
\emph default
|
|
of the single glyphs (i.e.
|
|
characters) in the font.
|
|
This means that each glyph is defined using mathematical curves that are
|
|
well suited for scaling to any requested size.
|
|
This mathematical definition is interpreted by the font renderer and turned
|
|
into a small picture composed of pixels according to which size and glyph
|
|
(or symbol) the programmer requests.
|
|
This means that scalable fonts will look pretty good in most sizes.Since
|
|
scalable fonts are defined in an abstract way, it can be hard to provide
|
|
a good rendering at small sizes, where each pixel has to be very carefully
|
|
computed to provide a good image.
|
|
Technically it is possible to do this from the mathematical definition,
|
|
but in order to keep the rendering reasonably fast, tradeoffs have to be
|
|
made, and the result is that scalable fonts can be difficult to read at
|
|
small sizes.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Bitmap fonts on the other hand, are defined by bitmap graphics from the
|
|
start, so they will look good at all the sizes they are meant for.
|
|
However, they don't scale well, because in order to scale a glyph, each
|
|
pixel is enlarged into several pixels.
|
|
It is the same effect that happens if you try to enlarge a picture in an
|
|
image manipulation program.
|
|
In order to relieve this effect, bitmap fonts are typically provided in
|
|
several fixed sizes typically from around 8 pixels high up to 34 pixels
|
|
or so high in steps according to what is believed to be useful.
|
|
The advantage of bitmap fonts is that no complicated computations are necessary
|
|
to display each glyph, so bitmap fonts are thus faster displayed than scalable
|
|
fonts.
|
|
The disadvantage is that sizes that don't exists as fixed versions have
|
|
to be scaled by doubling pixels, and thus look bad.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
The net result of all this is that bitmap fonts are generally best for the
|
|
small sizes, where they are available, while scalable fonts are generally
|
|
best for large sizes.
|
|
The logical conclusion would thus be to use bitmap fonts for the small
|
|
sizes, and scalable fonts for the large sizes.
|
|
Unfortunately, this is not a good idea, since bitmap fonts and scalable
|
|
fonts are not designed to be used together, so the overall look of such
|
|
a scheme would be bad.
|
|
The best you can do is thus to try both schemes and decide for yourself
|
|
what suits you.

In the following, we will describe what to do if the text does not look

LyX automatically tries to scale the fonts to look as close as the paper

output size as possible, except for the so-called font zoom factor.
|

\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
In order for this to work on all systems, it relies on the screen DPI (dots
|
|
per inch) setting to be correct.
|
|
The DPI setting for your system is autodetected by LyX using information
|
|
provided by your system.
|
|
You can check what LyX autodetects the DPI setting to, by running LyX as

|
|
|
|
and write down what the DPI is for the resolution you use (this will be
|
|
close to the value LyX detects).
|
|
It is the number mentioned as
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld

|
|
|
|
resolution
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
Also write down the number of pixels you have in the width (the first number
|
|
under
|

|

).
|

\end_layout

Then get the good old ruler out of the closet, and measure the width of
|
|
the visible screen-image on your monitor.
|
|
Convert this measurement to inches if you used a centimeter ruler by dividing
|
|
by 2.54.
|
|
Now you can determine the correct DPI setting for your screen by dividing
|
|
the number of pixels in the width by the width of the screen-image on the
|
|
monitor.
|
|
If this number is more than, say, 5 DPI from the detected value, you should
|
|
either fix your system setup, or at least tell LyX that the DPI is different
|
|
than the detected value.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
If you can't fix system setup (which of course is best since other programs
|
|
than LyX will benefit from this as well), you can tell LyX the correct
|
|
DPI using the

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
If the text is too small or too big for your taste, you should fiddle with
|
|
the font zoom setting.
|
|
This setting is used to scale the point size of the text.
|
|
If your DPI setting is correct, and the font zoom setting is set to 100,
|
|
this means that LyX will try to display the text exactly the same size
|
|
as it will appear on the paper-output.
|
|
If you set the zoom factor to 200, the text will try to be 2 times as big
|
|
as on paper.
|
|
Of course, this will only happen if LyX can find a font that has the appropriat
|
|
e size, which you can't count on.
|
|
Since LyX is a WYSIWYM system anyways, this limitation isn't much of an
|
|
issue.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|

\begin_layout Standard

button.
|
|
This is only useful if you use bitmap fonts, because only these don't scale
|
|
well.
|
|
If you define this flag, LyX will only use the fixed font sizes that are
|
|
available, and this guarantees that all bitmap fonts look good.
|
|
However, the downside is that there will be a greater difference between
|
|
the size of the fonts on screen and the size of fonts on paper because
|
|
LyX will have to be satisfied with the closest available size, and not
|
|
try to scale a size to fit.
|
|
Also, you can risk that some logically different sizes, such as

|
|
Sometimes the artifacts introduced by use of the flag can be relieved by
|
|
using the fine-detail screen font sizes which defines which point sizes
|
|
the different logical font sizes correspond to.
|
|
Run LyX as
|

|

|
|
|
dialog until you've managed to hit the nail and get the fonts you want.
|
|
This can be hard to do, because LyX uses the DPI setting and the font zoom
|
|
settings to calculate which exact screen font size to ask the X server
|
|
for, thus obfuscating the mapping.
|
|
If you can't make it by trial-and-error, you can make the process more
|
|
transparent if you set both the DPI setting and font zoom settings to 100---eve
|
|
n when this is known to be wrong.
|
|
This will of course make your scalable fonts look weird, so use with care.

As you can see, there are quite a few options that can be used to fine tune
|
|
the look of your fonts.
|
|
This should not scare you from fiddling with the settings, because after
|
|
all, you will hopefully be using LyX for many hours in the future.
|
|
And contrary to real WYSIWYG word processors where you are tied to using
|
|
fonts that have to look good both on paper and on screen, LyX gives you
|
|
the possibility of using fonts that are designed to look good on the screen
|
|
while using a different set of fonts to look good on paper.

Bindings are used to associate a LyX function to a key.

Several prepackaged binding files are available: a CUA set of bindings

(familiar as the typical set of PC and CDE set of keyboard shortcuts),
|
|
an Emacs set of bindings, for those of us who follow the One True Way and

If, however, you'd like to customise the bindings to your own exacting tastes,
|
|
then there are two ways to proceed.
|
|
The first, and older method, is to copy a file from
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
LyXDir/bind/

|
|
|
|

|

\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|

|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
UserDir/bind/
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
and modify that in a text editor.
|
|
Don't forget to select this file in
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
Editing\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
|
Shortcuts
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
The second method is to use the shortcut editor, which you will also find
|
|
at
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout

|
|
If your
|
|
\emph on
|
|
locale
|
|
\emph default
|
|
is set, LyX will try to use bindfiles by prepending the standard language
|
|
code to their name.
|
|
For example, you can put a translated copy of some standard bind file in
|
|
your personal

|
|
Since all conversions from one format to another take place in LyX's temporary
|
|
directory, it is sometimes necessary to modify a file before copying it
|
|
to the temporary directory in order that the conversion may be performed.
|
|
\begin_inset Foot
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
For example, the file may refer to other files---images, for example---using
|
|
relative filenames, and these may become invalid when the file is copied
|
|
to the temporary directory.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
This is done by a Copier: It copies a file to (or from) the temporary directory
|
|
and may modify it in the process.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
The definitions of the copiers may use four variables:

Copiers can be used to do almost anything with output files.
|
|
For example, suppose you want generated pdf files to be copied to a special
|
|
directory,
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
/home/you/pdf/
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
Then you could write a shell script such as this one:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
\begin_inset listings
|
|
inline false
|
|
status open
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
|
|
FROMFILE=$1
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
|
|
TOFILE=`basename $2`
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
|
|
cp $FROMFILE /home/you/pdf/$TOFILE
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
Save that in your local LyX directory---say,
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

|

|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|

Copiers are used by LyX in various of its own conversions.
|
|
For example, if appropriate programs are found, LyX will automatically

formats.
|
|
When these formats are exported, the copier sees that not just the main
|
|
HTML file but various associated files (style files, images, etc.) are also
|
|
copied.
|
|
All these files are written to a subdirectory of the directory in which
|
|
the original LyX file was found.

|
|
You do not have to define converters between all the formats between which
|
|
you want to convert.
|
|
For example, you will note that there is no `LyX to PostScript®' converter,
|
|
but LyX will export PostScript®.
|
|
It does so by first creating a LaTeX file (no converter needs to be defined
|
|
for this) which is then converted to DVI using the `LaTeX to DVI' converter,
|
|
and finally converting the resulting DVI file to PostScript®.
|
|
LyX finds such `chains' of converters automatically, and it will always
|
|
choose the shortest possible chain.
|
|
You can, though, still define multiple conversion methods between file
|
|
formats.
|
|
For example, the standard LyX configuration provides three ways to convert
|
|
LaTeX to PDF: Directly, using
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
pdflatex
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
; via (DVI and) PostScript®, using
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
ps2pdf
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
; or via DVI, using
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
dvipdfm
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
To define such alternate chains, you must define multiple target `file
|
|
formats', as described in section
|
|
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
|
|
LatexCommand ref
|
|
reference "sub:Formats"
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
For example, in the standard configuration, the formats named

LyX supports using a translated interface.

Last time we checked, LyX provided text in thirty languages.
|

The language of choice is called your

|
|
(For further reading on locale settings, see also the documentation for

Notice that these translations will work, but do contain a few flaws.
|
|
In particular, all dialogs have been designed with the English text in
|
|
mind, which means that some of the translated text will be too large to
|
|
fit within the space allocated.
|
|
This is only a display problem and will not cause any harm.
|
|
Also, you will find that some of the translations do not define shortcut
|
|
keys for everything.
|
|
Sometimes, there are simply not enough free letters to do it.
|
|
Other times, the translator just hasn't got around to doing it yet.

Ambigous messages

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Sometimes it turns out that one English message needs to be translated into
|
|
different messages in the target language.
|
|
One example is the message
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
To
|
|
\end_layout

|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
which has the German translation
|
|
\lang german
|
|
Nach
|
|
\lang english
|
|
or
|
|
\lang german
|
|
Bis
|
|
\lang english
|
|
, depending upon exactly what the English
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|

|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|

|
|
|
|
means.

|
\end_layout

|

|

|
|
|
does not handle such ambigous translations.
|
|
Therefore you have to add some context information to the message: Instead
|
|
of
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
To
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
it becomes
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
To[[as in 'From format x to format y']]
|

|

are different for

|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
gettext
|

and can be translated correctly to
|
|
\lang german
|
|
Nach
|
|
\lang english
|
|
and
|
|
\lang german
|
|
Bis
|
|
\lang english
|
|
, respectively.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Of course the context information needs to be stripped off the original
|
|
message when no translation is used.
|
|
Therefore you have to put it in double square brackets at the end of the
|
|
message (see the example above).
|
|
The translation mechanism of LyX ensures that everything in double square
|
|
brackets at the end of messages is removed before displaying the message.

Learn the typographic conventions for the language you are translating to.

Typography is an ancient art and over the centuries, a great variety of

|
conventions have developed throughout different parts of the world.

Also study the professional terminology amongst typographers in your country.

If LyX cannot find a mapping for the string produced by the keystroke or

a deadkey sequence, it will check if it looks like an accented char and

try to draw an accent over the character on screen.

There is a second way to add support for international characters through
|
|
so-called dead-keys.
|
|
A dead-key works in combination with a letter to produce an accented character.

|
Here, we'll explain how to create a really simple dead-key to illustrate
|
|
how they work.

\end_layout

Suppose you happen to need the circumflex character,

|
\begin_inset Quotes erd

-key followed by a letter, that letter will have a circumflex accent on

For example, the sequence

\begin_inset Quotes erd

produces the letter:
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld

|
|

|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd

If you tried to type

, however, LyX will complain with a beep, since a

after a dead-key produces the bare-accent.
|
|
Please note this last point! If you bind a key to a dead-key, you'll need
|
|
to rebind the character on that key to yet another key.

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
In this chapter, we describe the procedures for creating and installing
|
|
new LyX layout and template files, as well as offer a refresher on correctly
|
|
installing new LaTeX document classes.
|
|
Some definitions: a document class is a LaTeX file (usually ending in
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
.cls
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
.sty
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
) that describes the format of a document such as an article, report, journal
|
|
preprint, etc, and all the commands needed to realize that format.
|
|
A layout file is a LyX file that corresponds to a LaTeX document class
|
|
and that tells LyX how to
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
draw
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
things on the screen to make the display look something like the final
|
|
printed page.
|
|
More precisely, a layout file describes a
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
text class
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
which is the internal construct LyX uses to render the screen display.
|
|
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
Layout
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
text class
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
can be used somewhat interchangeably, but it is better to refer to the
|
|
file as the layout, and the thing living in LyX's memory as the text class.
|
|
A template file is simply a LyX document that contains a set of predefined
|
|
entries for a given document class---entries that are generally required
|
|
for that class.
|
|
Templates are especially useful for things like journal manuscripts that
|
|
are to be submitted electronically.

Installing a new LaTeX package
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Some installations may not include a LaTeX package that you would like to
|
|
use within LyX.
|
|
For example, you might need FoilTeX, a common (and very powerful) package
|
|
for preparing slides or viewgraphs for overhead projectors.
|
|
On some systems, you may have a GUI for installing such packages: MikTeX
|
|
on Windows®, for example.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
If you don't have such a GUI, then you can follow these steps.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
|
Get the package from
|
|
\begin_inset CommandInset href
|
|
LatexCommand href
|
|
name "CTAN"
|
|
target "http://www.ctan.org/"
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
or wherever.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
|
You can install this package in several different places.
|
|
If you want it to be available for all users on your system, then you should
|
|
install it in your `local' TeX tree; if you want (or need) it to be available
|
|
just for you, then you can install it in your own `user' TeX tree.
|
|
Where these should be created, if they do not already exist, depends upon
|
|
the details of your system.
|
|
To find out, look in the file
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

; this is usually somewhere like

|
|
(If these variables are not predefined, you can define them.) You'll probably
|

need root permissions to create or modify the `local' tree; but your `user'

tree shouldn't have such limitations.

Your package is now installed and available to LaTeX.
|
|
To make it available to LyX, you need to create a Layout file, if one is
|
|
not already available.
|
|
(See the next section.) Once you have a layout file, you need only reconfigure
|
|
(

As you prepare to write a new layout, it is extremely helpful to look at
|
|
the example layouts distributed with LyX.
|
|
If you use a nice LaTeX document class that might be of interest for others,
|
|
too, and have a nice corresponding LyX layout, feel free to contribute
|
|
the stuff to us, so we may put it into the distribution.

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Similar to layout files, and new with LyX 1.6, are layout
|
|
\emph on
|
|
modules
|
|
\emph default
|
|
.
|
|
Modules are to LaTeX packages much as layouts are to LaTeX classes, and
|
|
some modules---such as the Endnotes module---provide support for just such
|
|
a package.
|
|
In a sense, layout modules are similar to included files---files like
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
stdsections.inc
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
---in that modules are not specific to a given document layout but may be
|
|
used with many different layouts.
|
|
The difference is that using a layout module does not require editing the
|
|
layout file.
|
|
Rather, modules are selected in the
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|

|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
dialog.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Building modules is the easiest way to get started with layout editing,
|
|
since it can be as simple as adding a single new paragraph or flex inset.
|
|
But modules may, in principle, contain anything a layout file can contain.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
A module must begin with a line like the following:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
|
#
|
|
\backslash
|
|
DeclareLyXModule[endnotes.sty]{Endnotes}
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
The argument in square brackets is optional: It declares any LaTeX packages
|
|
on which the module depends.
|
|
The mandatory argument, in curly brackets, is the name of the module, as
|
|
it should appear in
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout

Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
The module declaration should then be followed by lines like the following:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
|
#DescriptionBegin
|
|

|

Both are optional, and, as shown, multiple modules should be separated
|
|
with the pipe symbol: |.
|
|
Note that the required modules are treated disjunctively:
|
|
\emph on
|
|
at least one
|
|
\emph default
|
|
of the required modules must be used.
|
|
Similarly,
|
|
\emph on
|
|
no
|
|
\emph default
|
|
excluded module may be used.
|
|
Note that modules are identified here by their
|
|
\emph on

filenames
|
|
\emph default
|
|
without the .module extension.
|

So

After creating a new module, you will need to reconfigure and then restart

open

\emph on

It is strongly recommended that you save your work before doing so

|
|
In fact,
|
|
\emph on
|
|
it is strongly recommended that you not attempt to edit modules while simultaneo
|
|
usly working on documents
|
|
\emph default
|
|
.
|
|
Though of course the developers strive to keep LyX stable in such situations,
|
|
syntax errors and the like in your module file could cause strange behavior.

Supporting new document classes

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
There are two situations you are likely to encounter when wanting to support
|
|
a new LaTeX document class, involving LaTeX2e class (
|
|

|

|

) and style (

\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
.sty
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
) files.
|
|
Supporting a style file is usually fairly easy.
|
|
Supporting a new document class is a bit harder.

If your new document class is provided as a style file that is used in conjuncti

|
we'll assume that the style file is called

\begin_layout Plain Layout

It is likely that some of the sectioning commands and such in your new

|
class will work differently from how they worked in the base class---

sections if you wish.

|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
There are two possibilities here.
|
|
One is that the class file is itself based upon an existing document class.
|
|
For example, many thesis classes are based upon
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
book.cls
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
To see whether yours is, look for a line like
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
|
|
|
\backslash
|
|
LoadClass{book}
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
in the file.
|
|
If so, then you may proceed largely as in the previous section, though
|
|
the DeclareLaTeXClass line will be different.
|
|
If your new class is thesis, and it is based upon book, then the line should
|
|
read:
|
|
\begin_inset Foot
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
And it will be easiest if you save the file to
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
thesis.layout
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
: LyX assumes that the document class has the same name as the layout file.
|
|
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
|
|
|
\backslash
|
|
DeclareLaTeXClass[thesis,book]{thesis}
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
If, on the other hand, the new class is not based upon an existing class,
|
|
you will probably have to
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
roll your own
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
layout.
|
|
We strongly suggest copying an existing layout file which uses a similar
|
|
LaTeX class and then modifying it, if you can do so.
|
|
At least use an existing file as a starting point so you can find out what
|
|
items you need to worry about.
|
|
Again, the specifics are covered below.
|
|

|
When it's finally time to get your hands dirty and create or edit your own
|
|
layout file, the following sections describe what you're up against.
|
|
Our advice is to go slowly, save and test often, listen to soothing music,
|
|
and enjoy one or two of your favorite adult beverages; more if you are
|
|
getting particularly stuck.
|
|
It's really not that hard, except that the multitude of options can become
|
|
overwhelming if you try to do to much in one sitting.
|
|
Go have another adult beverage, just for good measure.

If your text class depends on several packages, you can declare it as:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
|
|
|
\size small
|
|
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
|
|
|
\size small
|
|
#
|
|
\backslash
|
|
DeclareLaTeXClass[article,foo.sty]{article (with my own headings)}
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
This indicates that your text class uses the foo.sty package.
|
|
Finally, it is also possible to declare classes for DocBook code.
|
|
Typical declarations will look like
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
|
|
|
\size small
|
|
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
|
|
|
\size small
|
|
#
|
|
\backslash
|
|
DeclareDocBookClass[article]{SGML (DocBook article)}
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Note that these declarations can also be given an optional parameter declaring
|
|
the name of the document class (but not a list).
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
So, to be as explicit as possible, the form of the layout declaration is:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
|
|
|
\size small
|
|
#
|
|
\backslash
|
|
DeclareLaTeXClass[class,package.sty]{layout description}
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
The class need only be specified if the name of the LaTeX class file and
|
|
the name of the layout file are different; if the name of the classfile
|
|
is not specified, then LyX will simply assume that it is the same as the
|
|
name of the layout file.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
When the text class has been modified to your taste, all you have to do
|
|
is to copy it either to
|
|

|

|
|

, exit LyX and restart it.
|
|
Then your new text class should be available along with the others.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
In versions of LyX prior to 1.6, you had to restart LyX to see any changes
|
|
you made to your layout files.
|
|
As a result, editing layout files could be very time consuming.
|
|
Beginning with 1.6, however, you can force a reload of the layout currently
|
|
in use by using the LyX function
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
layout-reload
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
There is no default binding for this function---though, of course, you
|
|
can bind it to a key yourself (see section
|
|
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
|
|
LatexCommand ref
|
|
reference "sec:bindings"
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
).
|
|
If you want to use this function, then, you should simply enter it in the
|
|
mini-buffer.

Use a test document.
|
|
Syntax errors and the like in your layout file could cause peculiar behavior.
|
|
In particular, such errors could cause LyX to regard the current layout
|
|
as invalid and to attempt to switch to some other layout.
|
|
The LyX team strives to keep LyX stable in such situations, but safe is
|
|
better than sorry.

] Usually LyX doesn't allow you to insert more than one space between words,
|
|
since a space is considered as the separation between two words, not a
|
|
character or symbol of its own.
|
|
This is a very fine thing but sometimes annoying, for example, when typing
|
|
program code or plain LaTeX code.
|
|

] Usually LyX does not allow you to leave a paragraph empty, since it would
|
|
lead to empty LaTeX output.
|
|
There are some cases where this could be desirable however: in a letter
|
|
template, the required fields can be provided as empty fields, so that
|
|
people do not forget them; in some special classes, a layout can be used
|
|
as some kind of break, which does not contain actual text.

Note that this parameter is also used when the margin is defined as

LyX has supported character styles since version 1.4.0; since version 1.6.0

these are called Flex insets.

Furthermore, it is possible to define the general layout of many different
|
|
types of insets.
|
|
Currently, InsetLayout can be used to customize the layout parameters
|
|
for footnotes, marginal notes, note insets, ERT insets, branches, listings,
|
|
indexes, boxes, tables, algorithms, URLs, and optional arguments, as well
|
|
as Flex insets.

\end_layout

Flex insets come in three different kinds:

Since version 1.3.0 of LyX, it is both possible and necessary to define the
|
|
counters (

\end_inset

|

) in the text class itself.
|
|
The standard counters are defined in the file

|

|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
stdcounters.inc

|
Input stdcounters.inc
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
to your layout file to get them to work.
|
|
But if you want to define custom counters, then you can do so, using the
|
|
following parameters:

|

|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
when this is defined, this string defines how the counter is displayed.
|
|
Setting this value sets

Upgrading old layout files

\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
The file format of layout files changes from time to time, so old layout
|
|
files need to be converted.
|
|
This process has been automated since LyX 1.4.0: If LyX reads an old format
|
|
layout file it will call the conversion tool
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
LyXDir/scripts/layout2layout.py
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
and convert it to a temporary file in current format.
|
|
The original file is left untouched.
|
|
If you want to convert the layout file permanently, just call the converter
|
|
by hand:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout LyX-Code
|
|
python $LyXDir/scripts/layout2layout.py myclass.layout myclassnew.layout
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard

|
(You need to replace
|

\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
$LyXDir

\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
with the name of your LyX system directory, unless you happen to have defined
|
|
such an environment variable.) Then copy
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|

The automatic conversion only handles syntax changes.
|
|
It cannot handle the case where the contents of included files was changed,
|
|
so these will have to be converted separately.

Templates are created just like usual documents.
|
|
The only difference is that usual documents contain all possible settings,
|
|
including the font scheme and the paper size.
|
|
Usually a user doesn't want a template to overwrite his defaults in these
|
|
cases.
|
|
For that reason, the designer of a template should remove the corresponding
|
|
commands like
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|

|

Including External Material
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
The use of material from sources external to LyX is covered in detail in
|
|
the
|
|
\emph on
|
|
Embedded Objects
|
|
\emph default
|
|
manual.
|
|
This part of the manual covers what needs to happen behind the scenes for
|
|
new sorts of material to be included.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Section
|
|
How does it work?
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
The external material feature is based on the concept of a
|
|
\emph on
|
|
template
|
|
\emph default
|
|
.
|
|
A template is a specification of how LyX should interface with a certain
|
|
kind of material.
|
|
As bundled, LyX comes with predefined templates for Xfig figures, various
|
|
raster format images, chess diagrams, and LilyPond music notation.
|
|
You can check the actual list by using the menu
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator

File\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
|
External Material
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
Furthermore, it is possible to roll your own template to support a specific
|
|
kind of material.
|
|
Later we'll describe in more detail what is involved, and hopefully you
|
|
will submit all the templates you create so we can include them in a later
|
|
LyX version.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Another basic idea of the external material feature is to distinguish between
|
|
the original file that serves as a base for final material and the produced
|
|
file that is included in your exported or printed document.
|
|
For example, consider the case of a figure produced with
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
Xfig
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
The Xfig application itself works on an original file with the
|

|
|

extension.
|
|
Within XFig, you create and change your figure, and when you are done,
|
|
you save the
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
fig
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
-file.
|
|
When you want to include the figure in your document, you invoke
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
transfig
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
in order to create a PostScript file that can readily be included in your
|
|
LaTeX file.
|
|
In this case, the
|

\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

|

|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
.fig
|
|
\end_layout

|
|

\end_inset

|
file is the original file, and the PostScript file is the produced file.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
This distinction is important in order to allow updating of the material
|
|
while you are in the process of writing the document.
|
|
Furthermore, it provides us with the flexibility that is needed to support
|
|
multiple export formats.
|
|
For instance, in the case of a plain text file, it is not exactly an award-winn
|
|
ing idea to include the figure as raw PostScript®.
|
|
Instead, you'd either prefer to just include a reference to the figure
|
|
or try to invoke some graphics to Ascii converter to make the final result
|
|
look similar to the real graphics.
|
|
The external material management allows you to do this, because it is parameter
|
|
ized on the different export formats that LyX supports.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Besides supporting the production of different products according to the
|
|
exported format, it supports tight integration with editing and viewing
|
|
applications.
|
|
In the case of an XFig figure, you are able to invoke Xfig on the original
|
|
file with a single click from within the external material dialog in LyX,
|
|
and also preview the produced PostScript file with ghostview with another
|
|
click.
|
|
No more fiddling around with the command line and/or file browsers to locate
|
|
and manipulate the original or produced files.
|
|
In this way, you are finally able to take full advantage of the many different
|
|
applications that are relevant to use when you write your documents, and
|
|
ultimately be more productive.

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
You may ask why there are so many path macros.
|
|
There are mainly two reasons:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
|
Relative and absolute file names should remain relative or absolute, respectivel
|
|
y.
|
|
Users may have reasons to prefer either form.
|
|
Relative names are useful for portable documents that should work on different
|
|
machines, for example.
|
|
Absolute names may be required by some programs.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Enumerate
|
|
LaTeX treats relative file names differently than LyX and other programs
|
|
in nested included files.
|
|
For LyX, a relative file name is always relative to the document that contains
|
|
the file name.
|
|
For LaTeX, it is always relative to the master document.
|
|
These two definitions are identical if you have only one document, but
|
|
differ if you have a master document that includes part documents.
|
|
That means that relative filenames must be transformed when presented to
|
|
LaTeX.
|
|
Fortunately LyX does this automatically for you if you choose the right
|
|
macros.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
So which path macro should be used in new template definitions? The rule
|
|
is not difficult:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Itemize
|
|

|

\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

\begin_layout Plain Layout

|
|
|
|
if an absolute path is required.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Itemize
|
|
Use
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|

|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
$$AbsOrRelPathMaster
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
if the substituted string is some kind of LaTeX input.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Itemize
|
|
Else use
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
$$AbsOrRelPathParent
|
|
\end_layout
|

|
|
|
|
in order to preserve the user's choice.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
There are special cases where this rule does not work and e.g.
|
|
\begin_inset space ~
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
relative names are needed, but normally it will work just fine.
|
|
One example for such a case is the command
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|

|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout

|
|
|
|
The external material feature interfaces with a lot of external programs
|
|
and does so automatically, so we have to consider the security implications
|
|
of this.
|
|
In particular, since you have the option of including your own filenames
|
|
and/or parameter strings and those are expanded into a command, it seems
|
|
that it would be possible to create a malicious document which executes
|
|
arbitrary commands when a user views or prints the document.
|
|
This is something we definately want to avoid.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
However, since the external program commands are specified in the template
|
|
configuration file only, there are no security issues if LyX is properly
|
|
configured with safe templates only.
|
|
This is so because the external programs are invoked with the
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
execvp
|
|

\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|

|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
system-call, so it's not possible to execute arbitrary commands from the
|
|
filename or parameter section via the shell.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
This also implies that you are restricted in what command strings you can
|
|
use in the external material templates.
|
|
In particular, pipes and redirection are not readily available.
|
|
This has to be so if LyX should remain safe.
|
|
If you want to use some of the shell features, you should write a safe
|
|
script to do this in a controlled manner, and then invoke the script from
|
|
the command string.
|
|
In the
|

|
|
That can serve as an example for how to write safe template scripts.

|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
It is possible to design a template that interacts directly with the shell,
|
|
but since this would allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary commands
|
|
by writing clever filenames and/or parameters, we generally recommend that
|
|
you only use safe scripts that work with the
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

|
|

|
\begin_layout Plain Layout

|
|
|
system call in a controlled manner.
|
|
Of course, for use in a controlled environment, it can be tempting to just
|
|
fall back to use ordinary shell scripts.
|
|
If you do so, be aware that you
|
|
\emph on
|
|
will
|
|
\emph default
|
|
provide an easily exploitable security hole in your system.
|
|
Of course it stands to reason that such unsafe templates will never be
|
|
included in the standard LyX distribution, although we do encourage people
|
|
to submit new templates in the open source tradition.
|
|
But LyX as shipped from the official distribution channels will never have
|
|
unsafe templates.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
Including external material provides a lot of power, and you have to be
|
|
careful not to introduce security hazards with this power.
|
|
A subtle error in a single line in an innocent looking script can open
|
|
the door to huge security problems.
|
|
So if you do not fully understand the issues, we recommend that you consult
|
|
a knowledgable security professional or the LyX development team if you
|
|
have any questions about whether a given template is safe or not.
|
|
And do this before you use it in an uncontrolled environment.

The above setting also has the effect of activating the LyX server.

If one of the pipes already exists, LyX will assume that another LyX process

change the configuration between the start of the programs.

Notification

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
|
|
LyX can notify clients of events going on asynchronously.
|
|
Currently it will only do this if the user binds a key sequence with the
|
|
function
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
notify
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
The format of the string LyX sends is as follows:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Quote
|
|
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
|
|
status collapsed
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Plain Layout
|
|
NOTIFY:
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
|
|
\emph on
|
|
key-sequence
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
where
|
|
\emph on
|
|
key-sequence
|
|
\emph default
|
|
is the printed representation of the key sequence that was actually typed
|
|
by the user.
|
|
\end_layout
|
|
|
|
\begin_layout Standard
|
|
This mechanism can be used to extend LyX's command set and implement macros:
|
|
bind some key sequence to
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes eld
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
notify
|
|
\begin_inset Quotes erd
|
|
\end_inset
|
|
|
|
, start a client that listens on the out pipe, dispatches the command according
|
|
to the sequence and starts a function that may use LyX calls and LyX requests
|
|
to issue a command or a series of commands to LyX.
