\begin_layout Chapter
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
\emph on
 
\emph default
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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Chapter
LyX and LaTeX
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
How LyX Uses LaTeX
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:lyxandlatex}

\end_inset

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:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
They will only invoke LaTeX if the file has changed since the last time
 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
\family default
 on the Dvi file.
 If you've used 
\family sans
View\InsetSpace ~
PostScript
\family default
 or 
\family sans
\bar under
P
\bar default
rint
\family default
, LyX performs two more steps:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Run 
\family typewriter
dvips
\family default
 to convert the Dvi file to PostScript®:
\end_layout

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
For 
\family sans
View\InsetSpace ~
PostScript
\family default
, the output file has the extension 
\family typewriter
.ps_tmp
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
For 
\family sans
\bar under
P
\bar default
rint
\family default
\InsetSpace ~
, the output file has the extension 
\family typewriter
.ps
\family default
, as expected.
\end_layout

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
Execute 
\family typewriter

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Die-hard LaTeX users will scream and howl this into the night, then declare
 LyX useless, simply because they didn't RTFM.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
\family default
 file is not human readable.
 Don't even try to read it.
 If you want a 
\family typewriter
.tex
\family default
 file that you can send to a colleague, select 
\family sans
\bar under
E
\bar default
xport\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
L
\bar default
aTeX
\family default
 from the 
\family sans

 menu.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Translating LaTeX files into LyX
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You can import a LaTeX file into LyX by using the 
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
ile\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
I
\bar default
mport\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
L
\bar default
aTeX
\family default
 command in LyX.
 This will call a Perl script named 
\family typewriter
reLyX
\family default
---which will create a file 
\family typewriter
foo.lyx
\family default
 from the file 
\family typewriter
foo.tex
\family default
---and then open that file.
 If the translation doesn't work, you can try calling 
\family typewriter
reLyX
\family default
 from the command line, possibly using fancier options.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter
reLyX
\family default
 will translate most legal LaTeX, but not everything.
 It will leave things it doesn't understand in TeX mode, so after translating
 a file with 
\family typewriter
reLyX
\family default
, you can look for red text and hand-edit it to look right.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter
reLyX
\family default
 has its own section in the 
\emph on
Extended Features
\emph default
 manual (as well as a Unix manpage equivalent), which you should read to
 find out about what LaTeX isn't supported, bugs (and how to get around
 them), and how to use the various options.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you can't get 
\family typewriter
reLyX
\family default
 to work, or you just want to put a piece of LaTeX code into a LyX file,
 see Section
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:latexcodes}

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Inserting LaTeX Code into LyX Documents 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:Inserting-LaTeX-Code}

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:latexcodes}

\end_inset

 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 collapsable (foldable) box (such
 as footnotes), and are useful for significant amounts of LaTeX commands.
 An 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

inlined
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

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

\begin_layout Standard

% like this
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You can switch between all three by right-clicking on the ERT.
 Note that if you want more than one line of LaTeX commands, you cannot
 use the inlined mode.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Here's an example of inserting LaTeX commands in a LyX document.
 The code looks like this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
begin{tabular}{ll}
\newline

\backslash
begin{minipage}{5cm}
\newline
This is an example for a minipage environment.
 You 
\newline
can put nearly everything in it, even (non-floating) 
\newline
figures and tables.

The ERT box containing this text is directly after this paragraph.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In addition to these two methods, you can also create a separate file containing
 some complex LaTeX structure.
 You can then use 
\family sans
\bar under

\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Chil
\bar under
d
\bar default
\InsetSpace ~

\family default
 to include your file (you should select the type 
\family sans

\family default
).
 We recommend that you only do this if you have a 
\family typewriter
.tex
\family default
 file which you 
\emph on
know
\emph default
 works already.
 Otherwise, you'll have a big job tracking down LaTeX errors\SpecialChar \ldots{}

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are a few last notes to emphasize:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Inside of LyX, LaTeX code appears 
\emph on
in red
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
LyX 
\emph on
does not
\emph default
 check if your LaTeX code is correct.
\end_layout

\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 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

\begin_inset Quotes erd

 of the 
\emph on

\noun on
John Weiss
\noun default
: I seem to do this an awful lot.
 Sat down and merrily began coding something to print out labels, only to
 learn that there were already 2 different LaTeX packages to do this.
 Worse yet --- I had them already!
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you do need to do some wild and fancy things within your document, be
 sure to check out a good LaTeX book for assistance.
 There are a number of them listed in the bibliography of the 
\emph on
User's Guide
\emph default
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are a number of LaTeX commands which have to be placed before the
 beginning of the actual text.
 They go into the preamble, and this is explained in the next section.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
LyX and the LaTeX Preamble
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
About the LaTeX Preamble
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:preamble}

\end_inset

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
 you want to use, check out the 
\emph on
Customization Manual
\emph default
 for information on how to make LyX interface to it.
 Be sure to submit your efforts to the LyX Team for inclusion in future
 versions!
\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
\family typewriter
 
\family default
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

\backslash
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

\begin_layout Standard
LyX adds its own set of definitions to the preamble of the 
\family typewriter
.tex
\family default
 file it produces.
 This makes LaTeX files generated by LyX portable.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Changing the Preamble
\end_layout

\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:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Select 
\family sans
\bar under
L
\bar default
aTeX\InsetSpace ~

\bar under
P
\bar default
reamble
\family default
 from the 
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument
\family default
 menu, or via the 
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument
\family default
\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\family sans
\bar under
S
\bar default
ettings
\family default
 dialog, depending on your frontend.
 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 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Basic LyX Setup
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 in the 
\emph on
User's Guide
\emph default
), so that it will be the default preamble for any file you create.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
LyX adds anything in the 
\family sans
\bar under
P
\bar default
reamble
\family default
 dialog to its own built-in preamble.
 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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Examples
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Here are some examples of what you can add to a preamble, and what they
 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

\backslash
hoffset
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
voffset
\family default
 come in.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The default values for 
\family typewriter

\backslash
hoffset
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
voffset
\family default
 are both 0 pt.,\InsetSpace ~
i.\InsetSpace ~
e.\InsetSpace ~
the page isn't shifted.
\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
hoffset
\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{
\backslash
hoffset}{-0.5 in}
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
setlength{
\backslash
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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
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.

\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

\begin_layout Standard
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 Standard
You can navigate through the errors by using 
\family sans
\bar under

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There's a general sequence you should follow if you get error messages:
\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.
 Preferrably, 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
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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
To use BibTeX with LyX, first read the 
\emph on
User Guide
\emph default
 where it describes how to insert citations.
 The basic mechanism for inserting BibTeX references is the same.
 Then, at the very end of your document, select

Alternative Citation Styles

\begin_layout Standard
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{}

\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Knuth 1984a
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

).
 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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The handling of both packages in LyX is basically the same.
 Go to 
\family sans

 Then select 
\family sans
Natbib
\family default
 or

.
 With both packages, you will get some extra features in the citation dialog
 and you can select the style of the reference (

\begin_layout Standard
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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
As of version 1.4, LyX provides native support for one of these packages,

 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
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\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 
\family typewriter
scientific.bib
\family default
.
 
\end_layout

In LyX, go to

ettings 
\family default
and select the 
\family sans
Bibliography
\family default
 pane (with the xforms frontend: the 
\family sans
Extras
\family default
 tab).
 Check 
\family sans
Sectionated\InsetSpace ~
bibliography
\family default
.
 Now you can insert multiple BibTeX references (as described in section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{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

, 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

 removes the bibliography title, you have manually re-add that, too (as
 a chapter* or section*, for instance).

 package, which is used for the creation of sectionated bibliographies in
 LyX (cf.\InsetSpace ~
section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:Sectionated-Bibliographies}

, etc.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Be careful not to put spaces between the word in the text and the index
 marker; apparently the wrong page number can be produced if this happens.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Multipart Documents
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
General Operation
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
(i.e.

\emph default
 everything up to and including the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
begin{document}
\family default
 line as well as the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
end{document}
\family default
 line must be deleted) or else errors will be generated when you try to
 make a DVI file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
LyX allows you to include files quite easily with 
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
ChiI
\bar under
d
\bar default
\InsetSpace ~
Document
\family default
.
 When you click on this selection a small box is inserted into the file
 at the current cursor location.
 Clicking on the box raises a dialog which allows you to select the file
 to be included, and the method of its inclusion.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The file selection box should by now be obvious.
 The three inclusion methods are 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

include
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

input
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

, and 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

verbatim
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 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 
\family sans
Don't
\family default
\InsetSpace ~

\family sans
typeset
\family default
 button prevents this conversion.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

verbatim
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 included file allows you to include a file typeset exactly as it appears
 in the file, i.e.\InsetSpace ~
verbatim mode, with the characters set in a fixed-width
 typewriter font.
 Normally, spaces in this file are invisible, though two consecutive spaces
 are conserved, unlike LyX's normal treatment of spaces.
 However, setting the 
\family sans
\bar under
M
\bar default
ark\InsetSpace ~
spaces\InsetSpace ~
in\InsetSpace ~
output
\family default
 checkbox typesets a mark to unambiguously define the presence of a space.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
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

buffer
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 to use.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Algorithms
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The package 
\family sans
algorithm
\family default
 is needed by LyX to be able to output algorithm floats.
 These are useful in placing short algorithms across page breaks and support
 an index of algorithms too.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Subfigures
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The package
\family sans
 subfigure 
\family default
is used by LyX when you select ``subfigure'' in the graphics dialog and
 enter the subfigure caption.
 Several figures marked in this way can be packed into a single float with
 individual sub-captions.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
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.g.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter

\backslash
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.g.
 Section 3) in the upper left, the page number (e.g.
 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

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter

\backslash
lhead{Section 
\backslash
thesection}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter

\backslash
chead{}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter

\backslash
rhead{Page 
\backslash

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter

\backslash
lfoot{John Q.
 DocWriter}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter

\backslash
cfoot{}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter

\backslash
rfoot{
\backslash
today}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The codes 
\family typewriter

\backslash
thesection
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
thepage
\family default
 access LaTeX's section and page counters, and so print out the current
 section and page numbers.
 
\family typewriter

\backslash
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.g.
 
\family typewriter

\backslash
renewcommand{
\backslash
headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\family default
 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
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter

\backslash
lhead{
\backslash
resizebox{1in}{!}{
\backslash
includegraphics{logo.eps}}}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\noindent
(you may need to preface this with 
\family typewriter

\backslash
usepackage{graphics}
\family default
 if you don't include EPS files elsewhere in your document).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Minipages
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
LaTeX provides a mechanism to produce essentially a page within a page,
 called minipages.
 Within a minipage, all the usual rules of indentation, line wrapping, etc.\InsetSpace ~
apply.
 LyX also provides some of the minipage capability.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Minipages in LyX have their own collapsable box; insert one via 
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Mini
\bar under
p
\bar default
age
\family default
.
 Right-clicking on the box allows you to alter the minipage's width and
 alignment within the page.
 Warning: if the minipage is too long to fit on a page, it is truncated,
 not wrapped onto the next page.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you place two minipages side-by-side, you can use 
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
S
\bar default
pecial\InsetSpace ~
Character
\family default
 to insert a special instruction known in the LaTeX world as an 
\family typewriter
hfill
\family default
 to put a maximum amount of space between them; it forces one minipage to
 the left edge, the other to the right edge.
 The examples below show the difference.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\end_layout

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A very frequently asked question is whether text can be made to 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

wrap
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 around figures so that a figure occupies some fraction of the column width
 and text fills the rest.
 If you have the LaTeX package 
\family typewriter
floatflt
\family default
 installed (you can find out about it in the 
\emph on
LaTeX Configuration
\emph default
 manual) you can do this.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
At the right is a figure of a mobius strip---you should have already seen
 this in the 
\emph on
User's Guide
\emph default
.
 To wrap the text like this insert a wrap box via 
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Flo
\bar under
a
\bar default
ts\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Floatflt Figure
\family default
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note: this package is very fragile! For example, having a figure too close
 to the bottom of the page will mess things up, as will having two figures
 close together.
 Use this package sparingly and do read the documentation that came with
 it (which will also tell you how to wrap text around tables).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Extra Table Options
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
While the standard table layout will suffice in 99% of all tables you generate,
 occasionally you will run into one which requires a bit of extra tweaking.
 The table dialog which appears on a right-click of a table allows these
 tweaks to be made.
 It will give you access to some extra column alignment parameters.
 A little bit of LaTeX background is useful here: when you set up a table
 in LaTeX, each column is given an alignment type.
 For example, you would give it 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
l
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
c
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

, or 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
r
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 for left-aligned, centered, and right-aligned columns respectively (which
 appear as the left/center/right radio buttons in LyX).
 A fourth type is 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
p
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

, which will make a column of a specified width (the width box in LyX),
 and will wrap text within that box.
 A fifth type is 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
|
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 (vertical bar) which rather than making a column will make a vertical rule
 at that point; this manifests itself in LyX as the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

borders
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 buttons.
 Finally, there is a type 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
@
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

, which allows you to use whatever is enclosed in the accompanying braces
 as the column separator, including a null argument.
 The reasons for doing this may not be obvious, but they can be very powerful.
 They are best demonstrated by example.

Okay, that last example was very silly, but here is one that is not.
 Suppose you want to make a table that has a column which is aligned on
 a decimal point.
 A standard LaTeX trick to do this is to set the whole number part in a
 right-aligned column, use a decimal point for the column separator, then
 set the fractional part as a left-aligned column.
 A variation on this is to include the decimal point explicitly with the
 whole part, then use just a null separator in between.
 The latter variation is demonstrated here:

Though it appears a bit funny in LyX, on paper it will produce what appears
 to be a 2-column table in which the right column is aligned on the decimal

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Perhaps it is best if I described just what I did: first, create a 3

3 table and remove all the borders.
 Then re-add a bottom border to the top row, and a right border to the first
 column.
 Type in the values for the first column and set its alignment to

 Type in the 
\family typewriter

\family typewriter

\family default

\begin_layout Subsection
A Better Decimal-Alignment Solution
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
An alternative way to have decimal alignment in tables is through the 
\family typewriter
dcolumn
\family default
 package.
 Add the following to the LateX preamble:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
usepackage{dcolumn}
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
newcolumntype{d}[1]{D{.}{.}{#1}}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
To have a column decimally aligned, enter in the 
\family sans
Special Column Alignment
\family default
 box of the 
\family sans
Table
\family default
 dialog the following:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
d{number of decimals of the data}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
To create extra column space just increase the number of decimals in 
\family typewriter
d{}
\family default
.
 Setting the multicolumn attribute for a single cell makes it insensitive
 to the decimal alignment which comes in handy as well.
 A drawback of this method is that math mode is not allowed in a column
 with decimal alignment except if the multicolumn attribute is set.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This method offers the same flexibility as the 
\family typewriter
dcolumn
\family default
 package.
 One could, for example, change the alignment separator, and have different
 alignment separators for different columns by defining multiple column
 types in the preamble.
 The syntax is as follows: 
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
D{inputsep}{outputsep}{decimal places}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The interested reader is directed towards the 
\family typewriter
dcolumn
\family default
 package documentation for more details.

Introduction

\begin_layout Standard
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

\family default
 menu item and then select the 
\family sans

ullets
\family default
 tab.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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

\begin_layout Standard
The six panels are divided up by the packages they require.
 The following table shows the mappings from button name to LaTeX packages.

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.

How to use it
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Select which bullet depth you want to change then select the bullet shape

\family sans
 
\family default
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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you 
\emph on

\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:
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Use the LaTeX command 
\family typewriter

\backslash

 to specify a new bullet shape for a given depth.
 You'll also need to save the current bullet shape so you can restore it

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 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.ams.org}

\end_inset

 or by ftp at 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/amslatex/}

\end_inset

.These layouts are appropriate, and useful, for any mathematical writing.
 There are currently 4 distinct AMS LaTeX layouts: 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
amsart: The standard AMS-article format.
 All results and similar statements are numbered as 
\begin_inset Formula $(n.m)$
\end_inset

, where the first number refers to the section, and the second refers to
 the total number of results (Theorems, Corollaries, Propositions, Definitions
 and Remarks, etc.) in that section.
 There are also many (but not all) environments available unnumbered, which
 is occasionally needed.
 Unnumbered environments indicated by an asterisk at the end.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
amsart-seq: Here, numbering for each type of statement is in its own sequence,
 with no reference to the section number.
 There are also many (but not all) environments available unnumbered, which
 is occasionally needed.
 Unnumbered environments indicated by an asterisk at the end.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
amsart-plain: This one is even more terse, since all the environments are
 unnumbered.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
amsbook: the standard AMS book (really, monograph) format.
 Numbering is similar to the amsart layout, except that all numbering is
 by 
\begin_inset Formula $(n.m.p)$
\end_inset

, where the first number refers to the chapter, the second to the section,
 and the third is the number of the results (Theorems, Corollaries, Propositions
, Definitions and Remarks, etc.) in that section.
 There are also many (but not all) environments available unnumbered, which
 is occasionally needed.
 Unnumbered environments indicated by an asterisk at the end.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Any AMS LyX file can be converted to either of the numbering schemes by
 simply changing the document class in the 
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
S

 dialog.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
What these layouts provide
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There is a long list of included environments provided by these layouts.
 Most mathematical papers or books will set as special statements most of
 these environments, in AMS-LaTeX there is an opportunity to define an unlimited
 variety of such declarations.
 However, the AMS recommends the environments that are available in LyX.
 The list of environments (not counting the standard environments such as
 
\family sans
sections, bibliography, title, author, date
\family default
), is:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Theorem This is typically used for the statements of major results.
 The word 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family sans
Theorem
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 appears in bold type, along with an automatically-determined number (an
 unnumbered version, 
\family sans
Theorem*
\family default
, is also available).
 The text is italicized.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Corollary This is used for statements which follow fairly directly from
 previous statements.
 Again, these can be major results.
 Unnumbered version 
\family sans
Corollary*
\family default
 is available.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Lemma These are smaller results needed to prove other statements.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Proposition These are less major results which (hopefully) add to the general
 theory being discussed.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Conjecture These are statements provided without justification, which the
 author does not know how to prove, but which seem to be true (to the author,
 at least).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Criterion A required condition.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Algorithm A general procedure to be used.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Axiom This is a property or statement taken as true within the system being
 discussed.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description

A manual comes together with that package, and this text is not meant to
 replace the original manual but merely a short guide how to realize the
 correct form of your paper.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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 
\family sans
article (A&A V4)
\family default
.
 Please refer to the comments in 
\family typewriter

\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Getting started
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
It is recommended you start from the example template distributed with LyX.
 If you are not using a template, note the following settings:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Select 
\family sans
article (A&A)
\family default
 in the 
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
S
\bar default
ettings
\family default
 dialog (OK, that one was obvious).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Don't change the option 
\family sans
Page\InsetSpace ~
style
\family default
: Leave it set to 
\family sans
default
\family default
.
 The whole layout is done by the macros, you shouldn't change anything.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
The header block
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
First thing to enter is the header information.
 It consists of seven entries, of which some are optional.
 They are
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Title
\family default
: [required] 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Subtitle
\family default
: [optional] 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Author
\family default
: [required]
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Address
\family default
: [required]
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Offprints
\family default
: [optional] if more than one author: whom to contact for offprint requests.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Mail
\family default
: [optional] mail address for contacts.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Date
\family default
: [required].
 Suggested format is 
\family typewriter
Received: <date>; Accepted <date> 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There is no need to issue the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
maketitle
\family default
 command, this is done automatically by LyX when the header is finished.
 Although the order of the single header entries doesn't matter it is advised
 to keep the above sequence, just to get the best optics and meets the layout
 of the real document.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you want to place footnotes in the header block, e.g.
\begin_inset ERT
status collapsed

\begin_layout Standard


\backslash
 
\end_layout

\end_inset

to state your present address, just use the standard footnote via 
\family sans
\bar under
I
\bar default
nsert\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
F
\bar default
ootnote.
 
\family default
LyX will automagically use the term 
\family typewriter

\backslash
thanks{}
\family default
 in that case.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In addition to these topics, the macros use three additional LaTeX commands
 that have no counterpart in LyX:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family typewriter

\backslash
and
\family default
 to separate different names for more than one author and institute, respectivel
y.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family typewriter

\backslash
inst{<nr>}
\family default
to mark corresponding author/institute pairs.
 The institutes are numbered sequentially as they appear in the 
\family sans
Address
\family default
 field, so you have to put a marker to each author.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family typewriter

\backslash
email{address}
\family default
 to supply an email address for fast contact.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In all cases, the appropriate command has to be entered in LyX an marked
 as LaTeX code.
 See the examples.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
The abstract
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The abstract should immediately follow the header block.
 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 
\family typewriter

\backslash
keywords{}
\family default
 by hand and mark it as LaTeX code.
 Refer to the example paper.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection

Figure and Table Floats
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
LyX provides support for the necessary float environments 
\family sans
figure, figure*, table 
\family default
and 
\family sans

\family default
, therefore we won't tell much about it here.
 Refer to the 
\emph on

 Just remember that tables should be left-aligned.
 For that, select the table and change the alignment in

\begin_layout Standard
Also, refer to the figures in the example paper.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Referee layout
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For submission, the paper has to be formated in a special double-spacing
 layout.
 For this purpose, you have to give the option 
\family typewriter

\family default
 to the documentclass.
 This must be done using the extra class options field in the 
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator

 there.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
The example paper
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The

AASTeX
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
by 
\noun on
Mike Ressler
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Introduction
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset VSpace medskip

\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/AAS/AASTeX}

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset VSpace medskip
\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Starting a New Paper
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
I strongly suggest that you start with the AASTeX template file.
 Click on 
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
ile\SpecialChar \menuseparator
New from 
\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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection

 there are a few

I will not describe the detailed usage of the individual AASTeX commands:
 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.

Getting LyX and AASTeX to cooperate

\begin_layout Standard
It can be a bit tricky to get LyX to recognize a new layout and document
 class.
 When all else fails, do this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Make certain that LaTeX can find AASTeX.
 Copy sample.tex (and perhaps table.tex) from the AASTeX distribution into
 a directory completely unrelated to LaTeX or AASTeX and run LaTeX on

LaTeX error processing a table

\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
References
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{cite}

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A couple of things: 1) I have noticed some funny spacing in the reference
 entries in the text.
 When you enter the bibliography item data, make sure their is 
\emph on
no
\emph default
 space between the last author and the parenthesis setting off the year;
 
\emph on
e.g.
 
\emph default
type
\family typewriter
 Ressler(1992)
\family default
, not 
\family typewriter
Ressler (1992)
\family default
.
 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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Including EPS files
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Even though AASTeX provides its own figure commands (
\family typewriter

\backslash
plotone
\family default
, for example), I much prefer LaTeX's standard figure commands (with the
 default graphicx).
 You can insert the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
plotone
\family default
, etc.\InsetSpace ~
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 
\family typewriter

\backslash
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
 the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

stack everything at the end
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 technique.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Things I could have done, but didn't
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are a few 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

pretty
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 things I could have implemented, but chose not to.
 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.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
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

 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

It could be seen as a matter of inconsequence, that the types 
\family sans
Letter

\family sans

 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

\family default

\family sans

\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 ~

Signature

 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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

Problems
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Visualizing the Koma-Script document classes in LyX, the LyX internals cause
 some problems.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
The chapter number of a 
\family sans
Chapter
\family default
 type appears on a line of its own above the chapter heading instead of
 appearing in the same line ahead of it.
 The cause for that is the LyX internal behavior for the labeltype 
\family sans
Counter_Chapter
\family default
 in the layout file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
The headings of the types 
\family sans
Addchap

\family default
).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
The paragraphs in a 
\emph on

 This is the standard behavior, no special LaTeX commands are needed for
 that.
 But in the

\bar under

 A

 This section documents the former.

\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Standard
\SpecialChar \ldots{}
or so I've been told repeatedly by its advocates.
 Having never used it, I have no idea if this claim is true or not.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 which this section documents.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This class is the LaTeX2e improvement of the old

 from now on], so you're bound to have it.
 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 option

 The possible choices and what they do are as follows:
\end_layout

\end_layout

\begin_layout Description

 The final output contains no page numbers, time markers, or alignment markers.
\end_layout

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
The 
\family sans

 To use it, put 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\family typewriter

\begin_layout Standard
You can also use the template file

 The template file also contains some examples of the special paragraph
 environments used by this class.
 I'll describe those next.

\begin_layout Subsection
Paragraph Environments
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Supported Environments
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
\end_inset

 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:

\begin_layout Standard
All of the other standard environments, including the section-heading environmen
ts, aren't used in the 
\family sans
slides
\family default
 class.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
On the other hand, you'll notice the following new environments:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Slide
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Overlay
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
InvisibleText
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
VisibleText
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
\end_inset

LaTeX magic.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Quirks of the New Environments
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:slideQuirk}

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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 default
, and 
\family sans
Note
\family default
 to be 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

pseudo-environments.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 They look like a section heading or a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family sans
Caption
\family default
,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

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

pseudo-commands.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 These two perform some action.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A common feature of all five environments, 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
, 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
, 
\family sans
Note
\family default
, 
\family sans
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
, 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
, 
\family sans
Note
\family default
, 
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
 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
Slide
\family default
, 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
, 
\family sans
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 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
, 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
, 
\family sans
Note
\family default
, 
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
 or 
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Some future version of LyX will, hopefully, resolve this quirkiness\SpecialChar \ldots{}

Using the

If you're expecting this section to teach you how to actually make a presentatio

 Naturally, I'll describe all of the ways the 
\family sans
slides
\family default
 class can assist you in preparing the materials for a presentation.
 Filling in the contents, however, is up to you.
 [Then again, that 
\emph on

\emph default
 the LyX philosophy.]

\begin_layout Standard
Choosing the 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
 environment [in the manner described in section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:slideQuirk}

\end_inset

] tells LyX to begin a new slide [duh].
 The label for this environment/
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

pseudo-command
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 is an 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

ASCII line,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 in cool blue, followed by the label, 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

NewSlide:
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 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
Slide
\family default
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
 and 
\family sans
Note
\family default
 environments work the same way as the 
\family sans
Slide 
\family default
environment.
 They both create an 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

ASCII line
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 followed by a label [
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

NewOverlay:
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

NewNote:
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

, respectively].
 The color is a stunning magenta instead of blue, and the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

ASCII line
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 will look different, in style and in length.
 The label fonts of all three also differ from one another.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
As with a 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
, if the contents of a 
\family sans
Note
\family default
 or 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
 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
Note
\family default
s and 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default

Using

Overlay
\family default
 with 
\family sans
Slide
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Each 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
 receives the page number of its 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

parent
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 
\family sans

\family default

\begin_inset Quotes eld

appended to the page number of the parent 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
 
\end_layout

\end_inset

 Clearly, you want the contents of both the 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
 and the 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
 to each fit on a single physical slide! You should probably consider an
 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
 as 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

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
 and 
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
As their names imply, 
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
 and 
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
 are two command-like paragraph environments that make all subsequent text
 invisible and visible, respectively.
 Note from section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:slideQuirk}

\end_inset

 that you don't place anything 
\emph on
into
\emph default
 these two environments, however.
 When you create an 
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
, it inserts a centered, sky-blue label into the page reading 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

<Invisible Text Follows>
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 For paragraphs following this label, the parts of the 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
 [or 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
; it doesn't matter which] where they would be contain instead blank space.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For 
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
, the corresponding centered label is 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

<Visible Text Follows>
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 in blazing green.
 Paragraphs following this label behave normally.
 Note that the beginning of a new 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
, 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
, or 
\family sans
Note
\family default
 automatically shuts off an 
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
.
 It's therefore not necessary to use 
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
 at the end of a 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
By now, it should be obvious how to create overlay transparencies using
 the proper combination of 
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
 and 
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
 on a 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
 and 
\family sans

\family default

\begin_layout Enumerate

\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Before each figure or paragraph that will appear only on the 
\family sans

\family default

\family sans

 If necessary, insert a 
\family sans

\family default

Within the

Overlay
\family default
, change all of the 
\family sans
InvisibleText
\family default
 lines to 
\family sans
VisibleText
\family default
 and vice-versa.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
That's it.
 You've just made an 
\family sans

\family default
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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.

\family default

 Here, too, the LyX 
\family sans

\family default
 class provides visual cues.
 The label for a 
\family sans

\family default
 is shorter than that of a 
\family sans

\family default
 [yet longer than that of an 
\family sans

\family default
] and, like the label of an 
\family sans

\family default
 is shockingly magenta.
 Additionally, the printed 
\family sans

 You can have multiple

\family sans
Slide
\family default
, and, as with 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
 and 
\family sans

\family default
, you'll probably want to break up long 
\family sans
Note
\family default
s so that they fit on a single sheet of paper.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
\end_inset

 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
clock
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 [see section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:slidesetup}

\end_inset

].
 This option turns on timing marks, which will appear in the lower-left-hand
 corner of every 
\family sans
Note
\family default
 you generate.
 To set what appears in the time marker, you use the LaTeX commands 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
settime{}
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
addtime{}
\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

\backslash
settime{}
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 sets the time marker to a given time.
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
addtime{}
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 increments the time marker by the specified amount.
 Using time markers and 
\family sans
Note
\family default
s in this fashion, you can remind yourself how much time to spend on a particula
r 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There's one last feature to describe.
 Clearly, you'd like to print out all of your 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
s and 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
s on transparencies while printing all of your 
\family sans
Note
\family default
s on plain paper.
 However, a 
\family sans
Note
\family default
 
\emph on
must
\emph default
 follow the 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
 with which it is associated.
 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
\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
onlyslides{
\backslash
slides}
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 will cause the output to contain only the 
\family sans
Slide
\family default
s and 
\family sans
Overlay
\family default
s.
 Correspondingly, the command 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
onlynotes{
\backslash
notes}
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 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
 what you want to print.
 I like to uncomment 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
onlyslides{

 , print to a file with

 and print to a

 I can then send either file to a printer, loading transparencies or plain

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,

i.e.

\emph default
 straight after the foilhead.

\begin_layout Subsection
Building a Set of Foils
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This section will give a simple introduction to using the different environments
 to build a set of foils.
 If you want to see an example set of foils take a look at the 
\family typewriter
Foils.lyx
\family default
 file accessible from the 
\family sans
\bar under
F
\bar default
ile\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
O
\bar default
pen\SpecialChar \ldots{}

\family default
 dialog under the 
\family sans
Examples
\family default
 button.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Give It a Title Page
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Unlike other classes that provide 
\family sans
Title
\family default
, 
\family sans
Author
\family default
, 
\family sans
Date
\family default
 and 
\family sans
Abstract
\family default
 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).
\end_layout

\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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Lists
\end_layout

\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
 the 
\emph on
User's Guide.

\emph default
 If you intend to use itemized lists you might also want to read about the
 
\family sans
Itemize\InsetSpace ~
Bullet\InsetSpace ~
Selection
\family default
 dialog described above in section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:bullet}

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\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 
\family typewriter
psnfss
\family default
 packages installed.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Figures and Tables
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family sans
Foil
\family default
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
 or to some user specified location.
 In fact if you change the float placement settings they are simply ignored.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Page Headers and Footers
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:foilfoot}

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family sans
My\InsetSpace ~
Logo
\family default
 and 
\family sans
Restriction
\family default
 are two commands used to control the left-footer text string.
 The first is meant to allow you to include a graphic logo on your foils
 and defaults to 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

-Typeset by 
\family sans
Foil
\family default
TeX-
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 While the second is meant to provide a classification for the audience,
 
\emph on
e.g.

\emph default
 Confidential.
 It is empty by default.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The remaining page corners can be filled by
\family sans
 Right\InsetSpace ~
Footer
\family default
 (which defaults to page numbers), 
\family sans
Right\InsetSpace ~
Header
\family default
 (top right) and 
\family sans

\family default
 (top left).

\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Lengths
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
All lengths are adjusted using the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
setlength{
\family default
\emph on
lengthname
\family typewriter
\emph default
}{
\family default
\emph on
newlength
\family typewriter
\emph default
}
\family default
 command.
 Where 
\emph on
lengthname
\emph default
 should be replaced by the name given to the length you want to change and
 
\emph on
newlength
\emph default
 is the length value.
 All lengths should be specified in units of length such as inches (
\family typewriter
in
\family default
), millimeters (
\family typewriter
mm
\family default
) or points (
\family typewriter
pt
\family default
) or relative to some document or font-based length such as 
\family typewriter

\backslash
textwidth
\family default
.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
It's possible to change the spacing between a foilhead and the body of the
 foil by adjusting the length specified by 
\family typewriter

\backslash
foilheadskip
\family default
.
 For example, to make 
\emph on
all
\emph default
 foilheads 0.5 inches closer to their bodies put the following in the preamble:
 
\family typewriter

\backslash
setlength{
\backslash
foilheadskip}{-0.5in}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The spacings around floats can be adjusted by setting these lengths:
\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM

\family typewriter

\backslash
abovefloatskip 
\family default
Separation between the text and the top of the float
\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM

\family typewriter

\backslash
abovecaptionskip 
\family default
Separation between the float and the caption
\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM

\family typewriter

\backslash
belowcaptionskip 
\family default
Separation between the caption and the following text
\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM

\family typewriter

\backslash
captionwidth
\family default
 You can make the captions narrower than the surrounding text by adjusting
 this length.
 Best done relative to 
\family typewriter

\backslash
textwidth
\family default
.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are also several title page related lengths that you may find useful
 if you have a long title or several authors:
\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM

\family typewriter

\backslash
abovetitleskip
\family default
 Separation from headers to 
\family sans
Title
\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM

\family typewriter

\backslash
titleauthorskip
\family default
 between 
\family sans

\family default

\family sans

\family default
 environments
\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM

\family typewriter

\backslash

\family default
 between multiple 
\family sans

\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring MMMMMMMMMMM

\family typewriter

\backslash
authordateskip
\family default
 between the 
\family sans

\end_layout

\begin_layout List

\family default
 between the 
\family sans

\begin_layout Standard
The last length related command affects all the list environments.
 If you place
\family typewriter
 
\backslash
zerolistvertdimens
\family default
 
\emph on
inside
\emph default
 a list environment then all the vertical spacing between the list items
 is removed.
 Note that this is a command not a length so it doesn't require 
\family typewriter

\backslash
setlength
\family default
 like the stuff mentioned above.

\begin_layout Standard
The

LogoOn
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
LogoOff
\family default
 commands control whether the logo in the 
\family sans
MyLogo
\family default
 definition appear on a given page.
 If you put 
\family typewriter

\backslash
LogoOff
\family default
 in the preamble then none of the foils will have the logo on them.
 If you don't want the logo on a particular page place the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
LogoOff
\family default
 directly after the foilhead of that page and the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
LogoOn
\family default
 directly after the next foilhead.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you decide to use the 
\family sans
fancy
\family default
 page style setting in the 
\family sans
Document\InsetSpace ~
Layout
\family default
 dialog you should probably add 
\family typewriter

\backslash
let
\backslash
headwidth
\backslash
textwidth
\family default
 to your preamble so headers and footers on landscape pages are correctly
 placed when rotated.
 This is due to some clashes between the page layouts provided by the 
\family sans
fancyheadings
\family default
 package and the 
\family sans
foils
\family default
 class.

The 
\family sans
Revtex\InsetSpace ~
4
\family default
 textclass works with the American Physical Sociey's RevTeX 4.0 (the 
\begin_inset Formula $\beta$
\end_inset

 release of May, 1999) class.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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 ~
4
\family default
 textclass should also be pretty easy to use.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
These documents are supposed to be used in 
\emph on
addition
\emph default
 to the RevTeX 4.0 documents, so we don't describe any of the special RevTeX
 macros, and assume you'll know what to put in the preamble if necessary.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Installation
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
All you need to do is install RevTeX 4, as described in the package's README
 file.
 the package can be found at 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url[The RevTeX 4 Web Site]{http://publish.aps.org/revtex4/}

\end_inset

.
 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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Probably the easiest way to get started is either to import a RevTeX 4 document
 using 
\family typewriter
reLyX
\family default
, or to use the 
\family sans

Layouts
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The layouts basically correspond to the commands in RevTeX4.0.
 For example, the Email layout corresponds to 
\family typewriter

\family default
.
 Note that (at least as of RevTeX 4.0 Beta), the 
\family sans
Address
\family default
 and 
\family sans
Affiliation
\family default
 layouts are exactly equivalent, so you shouldn't need to use both.

Important Notes
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are a couple of important unique aspects of RevTeX 4 which might cause
 bugs that will be even more confusing in LyX.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In RevTeX, the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
thanks
\family default
 command goes 
\emph on
outside
\emph default
 the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
author
\family default
 command.
 The LyX equivalent is that there is a separate Thanks layout.
 Do 
\emph on
not
\emph default
 write footnotes in the 
\family sans
Author
\family default
 layout, or weird things may happen.
 See the RevTeX 4 documentation for more details.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Also, the 
\family sans
Author\InsetSpace ~
Email
\family default
, 
\family sans
Author\InsetSpace ~

\family sans
Thanks
\family default

 the 
\family sans
Author
\family default
 layout and the corresponding 
\family sans
Address
\family default
 (or equivalent 
\family sans

\family default
) layout.
 If you put the 
\family sans
Thanks
\family default
 after the 
\family sans
Address
\family default
, the LaTeX won't compile.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
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.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.

Rod Pinna
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Elsevier Science Publishers B.V.
 provides a standard LaTeX document class (
\family typewriter
elsart.cls
\family default
) for submitting articles to their various journals.
 The style file can be downloaded directly from their web site: 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://authors.elsevier.com/}

\end_inset

.
 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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
To make use of 
\family typewriter
elsart.cls
\family default
, a file 
\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

clean
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 a 
\begin_inset ERT

\begin_layout Standard


\backslash
LaTeX
\end_layout

\end_inset

 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.
 For details of what Elsevier do and don't allow, refer to their documentation.

Memoir

\begin_layout Standard

\begin_layout Subsection
Overview
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Standard
You are invited to send suggestions to 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org}

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\end_inset

, lots will probably never, due to the limitations of LyX's framework.
 Of course you can still use all features with the help of some native LaTeX
 commands (ERT

 In this section, we can only list those features which are natively supported
 by LyX.

, which is not only a user guide for the class, but also both a comprehensive
 description on good typesetting and a superb example for good typesetting
 itself.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
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.
\begin_inset ERT
status collapsed

\begin_layout Standard


\backslash
,
\end_layout

\end_inset

g.
\begin_inset ERT
status collapsed

\begin_layout Standard


\backslash
 
\end_layout

\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
chapterstyle{companion}
\family default
).
\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

without pagina).
 If you want an empty title page, type 
\family typewriter

\backslash
aliaspagestyle{title}{empty} 
\family default
in the preamble.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Article: With the class option 
\emph on
article 
\emph default
(to be inserted in 
\family sans
Layout\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Extra\InsetSpace ~
Options
\family default
), you can emulate article style.
 That is, counters (footnotes, figures, tables etc.) will not be reset on
 new chapters, chapters don't start a new page (but are---in contrary to
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

real
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 article classes---still allowed), parts, though, use their own page, as
 in book.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Oldfontcommands: By default, Memoir does not allow the use of the deprecated
 font commands, which have been used in the old LaTeX version 2.09 (e.
\begin_inset ERT

).
 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.
\end_layout

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 whereever and how often you like.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Chapterprecis: You may know this from belletristic: The contents of a chapter
 is shortly described below the title and also in the table of contents
 (e.

\emph default
).
 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
}{
\family default
 
\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).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Poemtitle*: Same as poemtitle, but it adds no entry to the table of contents.

LaTeX
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Translating from LaTeX into LyX is performed by a Perl script called reLyX.
 Although it is a standalone program which can be called from the command
 line, LyX will call it automatically when a LaTeX document is imported.
 See section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:reLyX}

 for a complete description.
 There are no user tunable parameters for reLyX within LyX.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
ASCII Text
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
When importing plain ASCII text, there are two methods of reading the file.
 Importing 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

as lines
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 preserves all the linebreaks in the ASCII; to LyX, then, each line looks
 like a paragraph.
 Importing 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

as paragraphs
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 assumes that consecutive lines separated by only a single linebreak form
 a single paragraph.
 Successive linebreaks with no intervening text are thus assumed to be paragraph
 delimiters.

Use pdfLaTeX
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
With pdfLaTeX you need to convert your eps figures to PDF (see Section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:pdfeps}

\end_inset

), and you cannot use pstricks.
 On the other hand, with pdfLaTeX it is possible to insert directly images
 in JPEG or PNG format, use TrueType fonts, and more.

Bad Fonts in Acrobat Reader

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
p+ psfonts.cmz
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
p+ psfonts.amz
\end_layout

\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.g.
 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

\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 LatexCommand \ref{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.

 it to your custom converter.
 The possible values are all formats that LyX can produce from its own documents.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The converter command is also specified in the dialog.It should be a completely
 qualified command line which uses the variable

 If this variable is not given, then the file will be sent to the standard
 input of your command.
 You may have to apply a bit of ingenuity to escape this sequence correctly
 so that it is compatible with your shell.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
While it is not possible to save this command using the

Description

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Introduction
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
reLyX will create a LyX file 
\emph on
dir/foo.lyx
\emph default
 from the LaTeX file 
\emph on
dir/foo.tex
\emph default
 (unless the 
\series bold
-o
\series default
 option is used).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Suffixes 
\family typewriter
.tex
\family default
, 
\family typewriter
.ltx
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter
.latex
\family default
 are supported.
 If 
\emph on
inputfile
\emph default
 does not exist and does not have one of these suffixes, reLyX will try
 to translate 
\emph on
inputfile.tex
\emph default
.
 (This is similar to the behavior of LaTeX.)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The purpose of reLyX is to translate 
\shape italic
well-behaved
\shape default
 LaTeX2e into LyX.
 If your LaTeX file doesn't compile---or if you do weird things, like redefining
 standard LaTeX commands---it may choke.
 LaTeX209 will often be translated correctly, but it's not guaranteed.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
reLyX has some bugs and lacks a few features.
 However, its main goals are:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Get through a well-behaved LaTeX2e file without crashing
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Translate a lot of that file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Localize the parts that can't be translated and copy them in TeX mode
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
It achieves these main goals pretty well on most files.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are many improvements that can and will be made to reLyX in the future.
 However, we wanted to get reLyX out there early on, to make it easier for
 new LyX users to read in their existing LaTeX files.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Usage
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Here's a more lengthy description of what you should do to translate a LaTeX
 document into LyX.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Run reLyX.
\end_layout

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
reLyX will inform you of its progress and give any warnings to stderr, so
 if you don't want any output at all, try (in csh) 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
reLyX foo.tex >& /dev/null
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 or (in bash) 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
reLyX foo.tex
\family default
 
\family typewriter
2>&1 >/dev/null
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 You should NOT redirect standard output to 
\family typewriter
foo.lyx
\family default
.
 
\end_layout

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
Run LyX on the resulting .lyx file.
\end_layout

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
In theory, most of the file will have been translated, and anything that's
 untranslatable will be highlighted in red (TeX mode).
 In theory, LyX will be able to read in the file, and to create printed
 documents from it, because all that untranslated red stuff will be passed
 directly back to LaTeX, which LyX  uses as a backend.
 Unfortunately, reality doesn't always reflect theory.
 If reLyX crashes, or LyX cannot read the generated LyX file, see Section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:relyx-bugs}

\end_inset

 or the 
\family typewriter
BUGS
\family default
 file.
\end_layout

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
Change things that are in ERT boxes (TeX code) by hand in LyX.
\end_layout

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
As mentioned above, you should be able to print out the LyX file even without
 doing this.
 However, changing a command in TeX mode to the corresponding LyX object
 will allow you to take advantage of LyX's WYSIWYM editing.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
reLyX is not guaranteed to create a LyX file which generates exactly the
 same output as the LaTeX file, but it should come close.
 reLyX will generally err on the side of translating less to ensure that
 dvi or ps files are accurate, even though this leads to more 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

evil red text
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 and less WYSIWYM.
\end_layout

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
PROOFREAD THE DOCUMENT!!
\end_layout

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
I'm sure you were planning on doing this anyway, but it's particularly important
 after translating a LaTeX document.
 reLyX is, at least now, better at 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

macro-translating
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 (translating the whole document) than 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

micro-translating
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 (translating every little detail).
 For example, you may see extra spaces or deleted spaces.
 Space handling has improved, but it's not perfect.
\end_layout

\end_deeper

\begin_layout Standard
reLyX copies math (almost) verbatim from your LaTeX file.
 Luckily, LyX reads  in LaTeX math, so (almost) any math which is supported

 their equivalents, e.g.,

\begin_layout Standard
reLyX will also copy any preamble commands (i.e., anything before

\series bold
-r
\series default
 option).
 Hopefully, then, most of these unknown commands won't cause reLyX to break;
 they'll merely require you to do some editing once you've loaded the file
 up in LyX.
  That should be less painful than editing either the 
\family typewriter
.tex
\family default
 or the 
\family typewriter
.lyx
\family default
 file using a text editor.

 BUGS
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sub:relyx-bugs}

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Since reLyX is relatively new, it's got a number of problems.
  As it matures, these bugs will be squished.
 A number of bugs and missing features can be found listed on the LyX bug
 tracker, 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url[LyX Bugzilla]{http://bugzilla.lyx.org/}

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If reLyX is choking on something, or LyX can't read it after reLyX translates
 it, the best thing to do is to put 
\family typewriter

\backslash
begin{reLyXskip}
\family default
 before the offending text, and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
end{reLyXskip}
\family default
 after it.
 I call this a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

skip
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 block.
 reLyX will copy this block exactly, in TeX mode.
 Then edit the resulting LyX file, and translate the unknown stuff by hand.
 The 
\family typewriter
reLyXskip
\family default
 environment is magical; the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
begin
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
end
\family default
 commands will not be put into the LyX file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Exact
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 copying of unknown environments and commands isn't quite exact.
 Specifically, newlines and comments may be lost.
 This will yield ugly LyX, but in almost all cases the output will be the
 same.
 However, certain parts of the file will be copied perfectly, including
 whitespace and comments.
 This includes: the LaTeX preamble, 
\family typewriter
verbatim
\family default
 environments and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
verb
\family default
 commands, and skip blocks.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
reLyX translates only a few options to the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
documentclass
\family default
 command.
 (Specifically 1[012]pt, [letter|legal|executive|a4|a5|b5]paper, [one|two]side,
 landscape, and [one|two]column.) Other options are placed in the extra class
 options field in the 
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
S
\bar default
ettings
\family default
 dialog.
\end_layout

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
More importantly, reLyX doesn't translate 
\family typewriter

\backslash
usepackage
\family default
 commands, margin  commands, 
\family typewriter

\backslash
newcommand
\family default
s, or, in fact, anything else from the preamble.
 It simply copies them into the LaTeX preamble.
 If you have margin commands in your preamble, then the LyX file will generate
 the right margins.
 However, these margins will override any margins you set in the LyX 
\family sans
\bar under
D
\bar default
ocument
\bar under
\SpecialChar \menuseparator
S
\bar default
ettings
\family default
 dialog.
 So you should remove the options from the preamble to be safe.
 The same goes for setting your language with babel, 
\family typewriter

\backslash
inputencoding
\family default
, 
\family typewriter

\backslash
pagestyle
\family default
, etc.
\end_layout

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
The foil class has a couple bugs.
 reLyX may do weird things with optional arguments to 
\family typewriter

\backslash
foilhead
\family default
 commands.
 Also, it may handle 
\family typewriter

\backslash
begin{dinglist}
\family default
 incorrectly (although the stuff in the environment should translate normally).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
reLyX is hopefully rather robust.
 As mentioned above, it may not translate your file perfectly, but it shouldn't
 crash.
 If it does crash---and the problem is not one of those mentioned above
 or in the 
\emph on
BUGS
\emph default
 file---see Section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:relyx-bug-reports}

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
What LyX Can't Handle
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
LyX itself is missing a couple features, such that even if reLyX translates
 things perfectly, LyX may still have trouble reading it.
 If you really need these features, you can export your final document as
 LaTeX, and put them back in.
 See 
\emph on
BUGS
\emph default
 for more details on these bugs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
For a number of commands, LyX does not support the optional argument.
 Examples include 
\family typewriter

\backslash
sqrt
\family default
, 
\family typewriter

\backslash
chapter
\family default
 (and other sectioning commands), and 
\family typewriter

\backslash

\backslash

\family default
.
 reLyX will automatically discard the optional arguments with a warning
 to stdout.
 LyX also ignores the width argument for the 
\family typewriter
thebibliography
\family default
 environment.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Centering (or right or left justifying) works on full paragraphs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
LyX support for tables isn't perfect.
 For complicated tables, use a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

skip
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 block, so that they will be copied in TeX mode.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
The LyX math editor can't handle the AMS-LaTeX math environments align,
 split, etc.
 So those environments will be copied in TeX mode.
 You can change 
\family typewriter
equation*
\family default
 environments to the exactly equivalent displaymath, and then they will
 be translated correctly.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Examples
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

 -r 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

myenv
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 foo.tex > foo.debug
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The above will create a file my/dir/foo.lyx from foo.tex, overwriting if necessary.
  When it finds a 
\family typewriter

\backslash
begin{myenv} ...
 
\backslash
end{myenv}
\family default
 block, it will translate the stuff within the block, but copy the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
begin
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
end
\family default
 commands in TeX mode.
  Finally, I'm going to keep the temporary files around (they will also
 be in my/dir/) and output lots of debugging information into the file foo.debug.

Bug Reports
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sub:relyx-bug-reports}

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If reLyX is crashing or otherwise acting strangely---in ways other than
 those described in Section\InsetSpace ~

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:relyx-bugs}

\end_inset

 or the bug tracker---then please run reLyX
\series bold
 -d
\series default
.
  That will allow you to figure out where in the reLyXing process it crashed.
 That, in turn, will allow you to write a better bug report, which will
 allow the developers to fix it more quickly and easily.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Bug reports should be sent to the LyX developers' mailing list.
 Its address is currently 
\family typewriter
lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org
\family default
.
 If you are running reLyX on a huge file, please do not send all of the
 output in your bug report.
 Just include the last ten or twenty lines of output, along with the piece
 of the LaTeX file it crashed on.
  Or, even better, attach a small but complete file which causes the same
 problem as your original file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Implementation Details:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
reLyX makes several 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

passes
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 in order to translate a TeX file.
 On each pass, it creates one or two files.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description

Before doing anything, read the syntax file (or files).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Pass\InsetSpace ~
1a \InsetSpace ~

\newline
Split preamble (anything before a 
\family typewriter

\backslash
begin{document}
\family default
 command) off the rest of the file.
 It saves the two pieces in separate files.
 This is necessary because there may be very strange stuff in a preamble.
 It also ignores anything after the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
end{document}
\family default
, on the assumption that it isn't LaTeX.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Pass\InsetSpace ~

Changing

\backslash

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If there are any 
\family typewriter

\backslash
input
\family default
 or 
\family typewriter

\backslash
include
\family default
 commands, reLyX will loop back to the beginning and translate those.
 It assumes that the included files are the same class as the main file,
 and that they have no preamble matter.
 (If you have an 
\family typewriter

\backslash
input
\family default
 command in the preamble of a file, the command will be copied exactly into
 the LaTeX preamble portion of the LyX file, so the included file won't
 be translated.) So when translating included files, it skips passes 0 and
 1.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If reLyX doesn't find a file you wanted to include, it will give a warning,
 but will continue to translate any files it does find.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Layout Files
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
reLyX reads a LyX layout file to know how to handle LaTeX environments and
 commands which get translated to LyX layouts.
 This file will include all 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

normal
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 non-math environments (i.e., including quote and itemize, but not tabular,
 minipage, and some other fancy environments), and commands like 
\family typewriter

\backslash
section
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
title
\family default
.
 If you want to reLyX a class that doesn't have an existing layout file,
 then you'll have to create a layout file.
 But you have to do this anyway, in order to LyX the file, since LyX depends
 on layout files to know how to display and process its files.
 Check the LyX documentation for help with this task (which can be hard
 or easy, depending on the class you want to create a layout file for.) If
 your class is quite similar to a class that has a layout file, then consider
 using the 
\series bold
-c
\series default
 option.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Syntax Files
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sub:relyx-syntax}

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
reLyX always reads at least one syntax file, called the default syntax file.
 reLyX will read your personal syntax file if it exists; otherwise it will
 read the system-wide file.
 reLyX will read additional syntax files if you specify them with the 
\series bold
-s
\series default
 option.
 (These extra files should have the same format as the default file, but
 will tend to be shorter, since they only have to specify extra commands
 not found in the default file.) A syntax file tells reLyX a few things.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
First, it describes the syntax of each command, that is, how many required
 arguments and how many optional arguments the command takes.
 Knowing this makes it easier for reLyX to copy (in TeX mode) commands that
 it doesn't know how to translate.
 The syntax file simply has a command, followed by braces or brackets describing
 its arguments in the correct order.
 For example, a syntax file entry 
\family typewriter

\backslash
bibitem[]{}
\family default
 means that the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
bibitem
\family default
 command takes an optional argument followed by a required one, while the
 entry 
\family typewriter

\backslash
bf
\family default
 means that the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
bf
\family default
 command takes no arguments at all.
  When reLyX encounters a token that it doesn't know how to translate into
 LyX, it will copy the token---along with the correct number of arguments---exac
tly.
  If the token is not in the syntax file, then reLyX just copies as many
 arguments as it finds.
  This means that it may copy too much.
 But since the user can specify additional syntax files, that shouldn't
 happen often.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Some commands that cannot be translated to LyX, like 
\family typewriter

\backslash
mbox
\family default
, have as one of their arguments regular LaTeX text.
 If the string 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

translate
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 is put into an argument of an (untranslatable) command in the syntax file,
 then reLyX will translate that argument instead of copying it verbatim.
 So, for example, the default syntax file has 
\family typewriter

\backslash
raisebox{}[][]{translate}
\family default
.
 This means that the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
raisebox
\family default
 command and the first argument (and optional arguments if they exist) are
 copied in TeX mode, but the last argument (which may contain math, complicated
 LaTeX, other untranslatable commands, etc.) will be translated into LyX.
 You can't use 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

translate
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 on optional arguments.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
User-defined syntax files are allowed to define new commands and their syntax,
 or override the number of arguments for a command given in the default
 syntax file.
 (E.g., if you're using a style that gives an extra argument to some command...)
 However, this will only be useful for commands copied in TeX mode.
 Commands which are actually translated by reLyX (like 
\family typewriter

\backslash
item
\family default
) have their argument syntax hard-coded.
 The hard-coded commands are identified in the default syntax file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Second, the syntax file describes any 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

regular environments
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
  Usually, an entire unknown environment will be copied in TeX mode.
 If you define a regular environment 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

foo
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

, though, then only the 
\family typewriter

\backslash
begin{foo}
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
end{foo}
\family default
 commands will be copied in TeX mode; the text within the environment will
 be treated (i.e., translated) by reLyX as regular LaTeX, rather than being
 copied into TeX mode.
 Don't try to declare 
\family typewriter
tabbing
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter
picture
\family default
 as regular environments, as the text within those environments will confuse
 reLyX; use this capability for new environments you create that have plain
 text or math or simple commands in them.
 You also can't declare unknown math environments (like 
\family typewriter
equation*
\family default
) as regular environments, either, since the LyX math editor won't understand
 them.
 The names of regular environments appear, whitespace-separated, between
 
\family typewriter

\backslash
begin{reLyXre}
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
end{reLyXre}
\family default
 statements in the syntax file.
 (If you have a regular environment which you won't use very often, you
 can use the 
\series bold
-r
\series default
 option rather than writing a syntax file.)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Third, the syntax file describes a math translation table.
 The LyX math editor doesn't support a few commands.
 For example, 
\family typewriter
_
\family default
 is supported, but the equivalent 
\family typewriter

\backslash
sb
\family default
 is not.
 Put any commands you'd like translate between 
\family typewriter

\backslash
begin{reLyXmt}
\family default
 and 
\family typewriter

\backslash
end{reLyXmt}
\family default
 statements.
 The statement 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
| {
\backslash
Vert}
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 means that any 
\family typewriter

\backslash
|
\family default
 in math mode will be converted to 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
Vert
\family default
 
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset


\family typewriter
 
\family default
(in cases where a token made up of a backslash and a non-letter is translated
 to something with letters at the end, a space is added by reLyX.
 That way, 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
|a
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 is correctly translated to 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter

\backslash
Vert a
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Miscellaneous
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You need Perl version 5.002 or later to run reLyX.
 <plug> If you don't have Perl, you should get it anyway (at 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url[Perl]{http://www.perl.com/}

\end_inset

), because it's a really useful tool for pretty much anything.
 </plug>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Diagnostics
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
reLyX should always explain why it crashes, if it crashes.
 Some diagnostics may be very technical, though, if they come from the guts
 of the code.
 reLyX gives much more information while running if you use the 
\series bold
-d
\series default
 option, but you shouldn't need that unless something goes wrong.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
When it's finished, reLyX will tell you if it finished successfully or died
 due to some error.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Warnings
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Always keep a copy of your original LaTeX files either under a different
 name or in a different directory.
 There are a couple ways in which using LyX could lead to overwriting the
 original LaTeX file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you import 
\family typewriter
foo.tex
\family default
 to create 
\family typewriter
foo.lyx
\family default
, then edit 
\family typewriter
foo.lyx
\family default
 and want to re-export it, note that it will overwrite the original 
\family typewriter
foo.tex
\family default
.
 (LyX will 
\emph on
not
\emph default
 ask you if you want to overwrite it.)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you have chosen not to use a temporary directory in the preferences,
 then LyX will create its temporary files in your current directory, which
 means your LaTeX original may be overwritten (without a warning from LyX)
 when you 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

view dvi
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 or print the LyX document.

\begin_layout Subsection
Overview
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
LinuxDoc is a document class available in LyX if you have the 
\family typewriter
sgml-tools
\family default
 package installed.
 You can use it to produce documents in the so-called Standardized General
 Mark-up Language (SGML) in the particular format used by the Linux Documentatio
n Project.
 That is obviously helpful if you are contributing to that project.
 You can use the SGML format with the 
\family typewriter
sgml-tools
\family default
 package of scripts and programs (to produce other formats, including Latex,
 HTML, plain text, man pages and\SpecialChar \ldots{}
).
 You may therefore prefer to use this document class if you want to write
 something that can be easily translated into other formats.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You will find that LinuxDoc has fewer layout options than the other text
 classes in LyX.
 This is mainly so that the translations into other formats have a chance
 of making some sense.
 In this section we describe:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

 You can see them on the pull down box on the left of the tool bar.
 How to use them is described in section\InsetSpace ~

The Structure of a LinuxDoc Document

There is a formal structure for LinuxDoc which limits how you can place
 tags.
 There are two parts to all documents: 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Description
Header: this is everything up to the first time you insert a Section layout
 marker.
 It can include title, author, date, abstract and ToC.
 You must include the first two.

Troubleshooting LinuxDoc

When you print or preview a LinuxDoc document some checking is done of the

 Some errors are trapped here, especially those concerning the structure

 LyX may produce an error message, but not leave an error box in the document
 for you to open.
 You may have to look at the files directly to discover what is wrong.
 Most problems seem to come from the use of options that are not fully available
 in the text class.

The

ChkTeX
\family default
 package is a program that was written by 
\noun on
Jens T.
 Berger Thielemann
\noun default
 in frustration because some constructs in LaTeX are sometimes non-intuitive,
 and easy to forget.
 The program runs over your LaTeX file and checks the integrity of the file,
 and flags some common errors.
 In other technical words, it is 
\family typewriter
Lint
\family default
 for LaTeX.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Well, what is a syntax checker doing in LyX which is supposed to produce
 correct LaTeX anyways? The answer is simple: Just as 
\family typewriter
Lint
\family default
 not only checks the 
\emph on
syntax
\emph default
 of C programs, but also does 
\emph on
semantic
\emph default
 checks for type-errors, 
\family sans
ChkTeX
\family default
 catches some common 
\emph on
typographic
\emph default
 errors, in addition to the syntactical ones.
 Specifically, 
\family sans
ChkTeX
\family default
 is capable of detecting several common errors, such as
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Ellipsis detection:
\newline
Use \SpecialChar \ldots{}
 instead of ...

\begin_layout Itemize
No space in front of/after parenthesis:

\begin_layout Itemize

\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Enforcement of end-of-sentence space when the last sentence ends with a
 capital letter:
\newline
This is a TEST.
 And this is wrong spacing.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\begin_layout Subsection
How to use it
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you have the program installed, usage is as simple as choosing 
\family sans
\bar under
T
\bar default
ools\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
C
\bar default
heck\InsetSpace ~
TeX
\family default
.
 This will make LyX generate a LaTeX file of your document, start 
\family sans
ChkTeX
\family default
 to check it, and then make LyX insert 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

error boxes
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 with the warnings from 
\family sans
ChkTeX
\family default
, if there were any.
 The warnings will be placed close to the point of the mistake, and you
 can quickly find them by using the 
\family sans
\bar under
N
\bar default
avigate\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
E
\bar default
rror
\family default
 menu item, or the shortcut key 
\family sans
C-g
\family default
 from the default 
\family typewriter
cua
\family default
 bind file.
 Open the error boxes by clicking on them with the mouse, or use the shortcut
 key 
\family sans
C-i
\family default
 from 
\family typewriter
cua
\family default
 bindings, or the corresponding 
\family sans
C-o
\family default
 for the alternate 
\family typewriter
emacs
\family default
 bind file.
 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
\family default
, and this gap can make some warnings seem arcane or just right down plain
 silly.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This document is an excellent testing bed for the feature, and it should
 provide quite a few warnings for you to fiddle with.
 Since computers are only so smart, expect most of the warnings to be false
 alarms, though.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
How to fine tune it
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
 to get better along with you.
 Another choice in the most desperate situations is to use 
\family sans
\bar under
V
\bar default
iew\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
R
\bar default
emove\InsetSpace ~
All\InsetSpace ~

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Although

 There are two things you can do about this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family default
 invocation command line in 
\family sans
Preferences
\family default
 (tabs 
\family sans

\family default
), or the global 
\family sans
ChkTeX
\family default
 installation configuration file (usually with the file 
\family typewriter
/usr/local/share/chktexrc
\family default
).
 See below to learn what warnings can be enabled and disabled on the command
 line.

aTeX
\family default
 and run

 manually on that.
 Invoked in this way, it can be a hassle to find the corresponding place
 in the document inside LyX, but with a little patience, you should be able
 to do it.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Here follows the warning messages that can be enabled and disabled in

\family default
.
 Use

 The emphasized entries are disabled by default, because the default is
 "

".
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Notice that you should only use the options that enable and disable warnings,

Introduction
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
\end_inset

 (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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
RCS commands in LyX
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The following sections describe the RCS commands supported by LyX.
 You can find them in the

 item is grayed out.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This command registers your document with RCS\SpecialChar \@.
 You are asked interactively
 to supply an initial description of the document.
 The document is now set in Read-Only mode and you have to 
\family sans

 A document under revision control has a

Check In Changes
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
When you are finished editing a file, you check in your changes.
 When you do this, you are asked for a description of the changes.
 This is stored in the history log.
 The version number is bumped, your changes are applied to the master RCS
 file, the document is unlocked and set to Read-Only mode.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
RCS command: 
\family typewriter

\begin_layout Subsubsection

\family sans
Check Out For Edit
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
By doing this you lock the document so that only you can edit it.
 This will also make the document Read-Write only for you.
 You will usually continue editing for a while and when you are finished
 you check in your changes.
 The status line is changed to reflect that you have locked the file.

Literate Programming
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
From the Literate Programming FAQ: 
\end_layout

\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.

\begin_layout Itemize
It can generate the documentation either in latex or html.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
It has a open architecture, i.e., it is easy to plug in new filters and to
 perform special processing that you may need.

\begin_layout Subsection
LyX and Literate Programming
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The LyX support for Literate Programming is provided by using the generic
 LyX convertors mechanism.
 This support is provided in a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Noweb independent
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 way, i.e., you will be able to use this new LyX feature with some other literate
 programming tool of your choice by just changing your LyX preferences.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Generating documents and code (weaving and tangling)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Paragraph
Selecting the document class
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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
Book (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.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Standard
It is very simple, it involves the creation of a file with four lines, and
 re-running of the auto configuration.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 Moreover, if you use a literate tool other than Noweb you may need to create
 a new set of document classes for it.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Paragraph
Typing code in
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
LyX enables you to write code with a layout named 
\noun on
Scrap

.
\begin_inset Foot
status collapsed

\begin_layout Standard
The equivalent Noweb term is 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Chunk
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 For historical reasons, I got used to the term 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

scrap
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 introduced by other literate tool named Nuweb, which I used for many years
 before rendering myself to Noweb.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 Noweb delimits scraps like this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<<My scrap>>=
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
  code
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
  more code
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
  even more code
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
  @
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The problem is that whatever is written in between the << and the 
\family typewriter
@
\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 LyX-Code
<<My scrap>>=
\newline
  code
\newline
  more code
\newline
  even more code
\newline
  @
\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.
\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Standard
It is in my list of 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

improvements
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 to fix that.
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
As a special note, you can also use the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

%def
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 construct of Noweb in your scraps to add items to Noweb's identifier cross-refe
rence:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<<My scrap>>=
\newline
  def some_function(args):
\newline
    "This is the doc string for this
 function."
\newline
    print "My args: ", args
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
@ %def some_function
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For an example of this usage and the resulting cross-reference output, look
 at the Literate python program in 
\emph on
LIBDIR/examples/listerrors.lyx 
\emph default
which should make this all clear.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Paragraph
Generating the documentation
\end_layout

\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 under
D
\bar default
VI,
\family default
 etc.
 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_layout Enumerate
When the 
\family sans
\bar under
U
\bar default
pdate\SpecialChar \menuseparator

\bar under
D
\bar default
VI 
\family default
menu option is chosen, a latex file is generated.
 
\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
\end_inset

literate
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 format (defined in the Preferences panel), otherwise the file will have
 the usual 
\family typewriter
.tex 
\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
\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Standard
The converters are defined in the 
\family sans

 panel, under the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\end_layout

\end_inset

 to generate the LaTeX file.
\end_layout

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
Otherwise it will just skip this step.
\end_layout

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate
Finally, LaTeX is invoked and the regular post processing continues as in
 a plain document.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Independence from a particular 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

literate tool
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 is easily achieved by changing the commands that are run by the various
 converters.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Paragraph
Generating the code
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
When the build menu option is chosen or the corresponding button in the
 toolbar is pressed, a latex file is generated just like step 1 above.
 Next, LyX invokes the
\family typewriter
 Noweb->Program
\family default
 converter.
 Typically, this converter (like any other converter), has 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
\end_inset

 setting, should be set to 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
build-script $$i
\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
\end_inset

 (a program or script) with the name of the Noweb file (generally 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
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 that you can place in a directory on your path:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
#!/bin/sh
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
#
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
notangle -Rbuild-script $1 | env NOWEB_SOURCE=$1 sh
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The next part of the converter setting is the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Flags
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 which is to be set to 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset


\family typewriter
originaldir,parselog=listerrors
\family default

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 This will run any errors that are generated by the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

build-script
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 process through the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

listerrors
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\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

\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 program.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Paragraph
Build instructions in the document
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The last piece of the integration between LyX and noweb is the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

build-script
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 scrap.
 Generally, the instructions for building your program should be embedded
 in a scrap of its own.
 The noweb-specific 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

build-script
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 above uses the notangle command to look for this scrap (called 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

build-script
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

) and runs its contents through 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

sh
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Typically, such a scrap would look something like this:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
<<build-script>>=
\newline
#!/bin/sh
\newline

\newline
if [ -z "${NOWEB_SOURCE}" ]
\newline
then
\newline
  NOWEB_SOURCE=myfile.nw
\newline

fi
\newline
[...
 code to extract files ...]
\newline
[...
 code to compile files ...]
\newline
@
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Look in 
\emph on
LIBDIR/examples/listerrors.lyx 
\emph default
or in 
\emph on
LIBDIR/examples/Literate.lyx
\emph default
 which implement two versions of the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

listerrors
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 program for some illustrations of how all of these pieces go together or
 in 
\emph on
LIBDIR/examples/noweb2lyx.lyx.
 
\emph default
Interestingly, these three files show off the language-indepence of the
 LyX literate programming support since they are written in Python, C and
 Perl respectively.

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

There are a number of colors in LyX that can be customized in

 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 
\family sans
Look&Feel
\family default
, 
\family sans
Colors.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
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.

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

 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

 He was a member of the Baldwin, the Cavendish, and the Bagatelle card clubs.

 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

\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 ~

\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,

 There are also five

\family default

\backslash

\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

\backslash
#}
\end_layout

\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
renewcommand{

LaTeX allows you to put a bit of extra space between rows in a table by
 giving an optional argument to the end-of-row specifier (

 LyX has not yet implemented this in a formal way, so here are two dirty
 little tricks to do the same job.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The first is the more formal, but longwinded way to do it.
 In the LaTeX preamble, add the following command definition: 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\family typewriter

\backslash
newcommand{
\backslash
extratablespace}[1]{
\backslash
noalign{vskip#1}}

 This command takes a single argument---the amount of space you would like
 to insert.
 Insert the command in the first column of the row 
\emph on
after
\emph default
 where you would like the space to appear.

The second method is faster, but will make typographers and TeXperts all
 over the world groan.
 Simply put an end of row specifier with optional argument at the same spot.
 No fancy definitions are needed as in the above example, but there will
 be more space inserted than you specified because you essentially added
 a blank row plus the extra space.
 If the space added is too much, simply use a negative number, like so:

 hose of you who like the style of old books probably also like

dropped capitals
\begin_inset Quotes erd

---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

 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.

\begin_layout Standard
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!
