-\end_inset
+\begin_layout Standard
+The LaTeX-based converters have the advantage that, in principle, they know

+ Such converters do not care, for example, if a certain block of code was
+ produced by LyX or was Evil Red Text.
+ These converters know about

+ files generated by BibTeX.
+ On the other hand, LaTeX is a very hard language to parse---it is sometimes
+ said that only TeX itself understands TeX---and LaTeX-based converters
+ will often choke on what seem to be quite simple constructs; complex ones
+ can throw them completely, and as of this writing, for example, the

+, though the others will.
+ The other issue concerns how math is handled.
+ These converters typically convert the formulae into little pictures that
+ are then linked from the HTML document.
+ Since these are actually generated by LaTeX, they are accurate.
+ But they do not scale well, and just getting them to look as if they are
+ actually meant to be in your document---so that the font sizes seem to

+ In some cases, you need a helper script that mediates between the viewer

+\begin_layout Subsubsection
+Getting LyX and AASTeX to cooperate
+\end_layout
+
+\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
+\family typewriter
+sample.tex
+\family default
+.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate

+\family typewriter

+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+If you get a warning from an existing AASTeX document about not being able

+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+You should not mix title layouts with normal ones
+\begin_inset Quotes erd

+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsubsection
+LaTeX error processing a table
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+LyX, by default, attempts to center the table caption/title.
+ This seems to produce a bad interaction in AASTeX so you should click somewhere
+ in the caption/title, then select
+\family sans
+Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator

+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+

+ This took care of it for me.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsubsection
+References
+\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.

+
+\emph default

+Ressler(1992)
+\family default

+\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.
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+commands as TeX code 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

+\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 been done.
+ LyX now supports some of the most basic RCS/CVS/SVN commands.
+ If you need something a bit more sophisticated you will have to do that
+ manually in a terminal.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Also note that CVS support is not as good as subversion support so we advice
+ using SVN instead.
+ Good place to start with Subversion is SVN Book

+\end_layout
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\begin_layout Standard
+Before you begin to use the version control features in LyX, you should
+ be familiar with RCS/CVS/SVN usage.
+ The implementation in LyX assumes a recent version of the GNU RCS or CVS/SVN
+ package—no guarantees are made for older versions.
+ Most of the log messages are not currently displayed after operations —
+ you can check them in Messages pane if unsure.

-The file exchange through various revision control systems brings the problem
- of merge conflicts in case two different users try to edit the same (parts

- When such conflict happens it needs manual resolving and one reasonable
- alternative is to provide some kind of locking mechanism, which guarantees
- that only one user is allowed to edit file at the given time.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-SVN has two mechanisms to provide such kind of mutual exclusivity for file
- access - locks and automatical setting of write permissions (see sec.

-\begin_inset CommandInset ref

-\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

+status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
-svn:needs-lock
+
+$Rev$
\end_layout
\end_inset
- file svn property
-\begin_inset Foot
+).
+ This way svn client will automatically substitute revision number (e.g.
+
+\begin_inset ERT

\begin_layout Plain Layout
-http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.advanced.locking.html
+
+$Rev: 59 $
\end_layout
\end_inset
-.
- In a case this property is detected for a given document LyX starts to
- use SVN locks for document editing automatically and the whole check-in/out
- mechanism switches to the same regimen as for RCS.
- This in particular means there are two different modes how file is used
- in LyX:
+) after each update and commit.
+ There are more problems with this approach.
+ Firstly, the '$' character is used in TeX world for math equations, so
+ any occurence of math formula
+\begin_inset Formula $Rev$
+\end_inset
+
+ become
+\begin_inset Formula $Rev:59$
+\end_inset
+
+ in your LyX document.
+ Similarly for other keywords like Id, Date, Author, etc.
+ Secondly svn output is dependent on your locales, so its very easy that
+ svn would produce some problematic strings once Date is used.
+ Thirdly you get the whole 'Rev: 59' string in your document instead of
+ the plain number.
+ Until subversion implements user's custom keywords it will be hard to use

-Bringing a document under Subversion control
+End-of-Line Conversions
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-Before a LyX document can be brought under version control in Subversion,
- its parent directory needs to be under version control.
- If the document is being added to a project already in the repository,
- this is accomplished by checking the project out to the directory where
- the new document will be placed.
- If the project itself is not yet under version control (for instance, if
- this document starts a new project), the directory must be imported into
- the repository.
- This is done outside LyX.
- Both import and checkout are easily accomplished from the Explorer context
- menu using TortoiseSVN, or alternatively can be done using the command
- line client at a DOS prompt.
- The procedure for importing the project using TortoiseSVN is described
- below, assuming an existing repository and a new project being started

+ escaped by the window.
+ The drop was at least twenty feet, however, and a bed of crocuses in full

+On the evening of the crime, he returned from the club exactly at ten.
+ His mother and sister were out spending the evening with a relation.
+ The servant deposed that she heard him enter the front room on the second
+ floor, generally used as his sitting-room.
+ She had lit a fire there, and as it smoked she had opened the window.
+ No sound was heard from the room until eleven-twenty, the hour of the return
+ of Lady Maynooth and her daughter.
+ Desiring to say good-night, she attempted to enter her son's room.
+ The door was locked on the inside, and no answer could be got to their
+ cries and knocking.
+ Help was obtained, and the door forced.
+ The unfortunate young man was found lying near the table.
+ His head had been horribly mutilated by an expanding revolver bullet, but
+ no weapon of any sort was to be found in the room.

+427 Park Lane did little to clear up the problem in which I was interested.

+ It was perfectly easy, therefore, for anyone to get into the garden, but
+ the window was entirely inaccessible, since there was no water pipe or
