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

-On-screen fonts
-\layout Standard
-
-The font used to display your documents on the LyX screen is very important,
- since you'll be reading all your documents with this font.
- Therefore it is important that the font is as readable and good-looking
- as possible.
- The LyX team tried to provide the best possible default font for you, but
- since practically all X11 systems are different, it's likely that the default
- fonts will be sub-optimal on your system.
- Fortunately, you can do something about this.
- Before we explain how to do this, you should learn a bit more about fonts
- so that you are better prepared for choosing your fonts, because it is
- a trade-off that is specific to your preferences and the capabilities of
- your system.
-\layout Standard
-
-Notice that this section only deals with the fonts on the
-\emph on
-screen
-\emph default
- inside the LyX window.
- The fonts that appear on the
-\emph on
-paper
-\emph default
-
-\emph on
-output
-\emph default
- are independent from these fonts, and are determined by the document class.
- Read the
-\emph on
-User's Guide
-\emph default
- to learn how to change the font of the printed version of your document.
-\layout Standard
-
-Basically, screen fonts come in two different kinds: scalable outline fonts
- and non-scalable bitmap fonts.
- This distinction seems a bit arbitrary, since non-scalable fonts are actually
- scalable in most modern font renderers.
- The difference lies in the
-\emph on
-quality
-\emph default
- of the scaling, and the
-\emph on
-speed
-\emph default
- of display.
- The most important decision is thus whether you should use non-scalable
- bitmap fonts or scalable outline fonts.
-\layout Standard
-
-The scalable fonts are built from
-\emph on
-outlines
-\emph default
- of the single glyphs (i.e.
- characters) in the font.
- This means that each glyph is defined using mathematical curves that are
- well suited for scaling to any requested size.
- This mathematical definition is interpreted by the font renderer and turned
- into a small picture composed of pixels according to which size and glyph,
- the programmer requests.
- This means that scalable fonts will look pretty good in all sizes.
- Well, almost all sizes.
- Since scalable fonts are defined in an abstract way, it can be hard to
- provide a good rendering at small sizes, where each pixel has to be very
- carefully computed to provide a good image.
- Technically it is possible to do this from the mathematical definition,
- but in order to keep the rendering reasonably fast, tradeoffs have to be
- made, and the result is that scalable fonts can be difficult to read at
- small sizes.
-\layout Standard
-
-Bitmap fonts on the other hand, are defined by bitmap graphics from the
- start, so they will look good at all the sizes they are meant for.
- However, they don't scale well, because in order to scale a glyph, each
- pixel is enlarged into several pixels.
- It is the same effect that happens if you try to enlarge a picture in
-\family typewriter
-xv
-\family default
- or any other picture manipulation program.
- In order to relieve this effect, bitmap fonts are typically provided in
- several fixed sizes typically from around 8 pixels high up to 34 pixels
- or so high in steps according to what is believed to be useful.
- The advantage of bitmap fonts is that no complicated computations are necessary
- to display each glyph, so bitmap fonts are thus faster displayed than scalable
- fonts.
- The disadvantage is that sizes that don't exists as fixed versions have
- to be scaled by doubling pixels, and thus look bad.
-\layout Standard
-
-The net result of all this, is that bitmap fonts are generally best for
- the small sizes, where they are available, while scalable fonts are generally
- best for large sizes.
- The logical conclusion would thus be to use bitmap fonts for the small
- sizes, and scalable fonts for the large sizes.
- Unfortunately, this is not a good idea, since bitmap fonts and scalable
- fonts are not designed to be used together, so the overall look of such
- a scheme would be bad.
- The best you can do is thus to try both schemes and decide for yourself
- what suits you.
-\layout Standard
-
-By default, LyX uses non-scalable bitmap fonts (when using the XForms frontend).
- For serif fonts,
-\emph on

-DPI setting and Font Zoom
-\layout Standard
-
-LyX automatically tries to scale the fonts to look as close as the paper
- output size as possible, except for the so-called font zoom factor.
-\layout Standard
-
-In order for this to work on all systems, it relies on the screen DPI (dots
- per inch) setting to be correct.
- The DPI setting for your system is autodetected by LyX using the information
- the X server can provide.
- You can check what LyX autodetects the DPI setting to, by running LyX as

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

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

-The default font zoom setting is 150, since a monitor is typically wider

-One final note regarding this flag: you should know that there is nothing
- wrong with using bitmap and scalable fonts at the same time for different
- purposes.
- For instance, it's common to use the scalable

+status collapsed
-Utopia
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
+\begin_layout Plain Layout

+\end_layout
- for the serif text together with a bitmap version of
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
+\end_inset
-Helvetica
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
+ associated with it.
+ For example, you might want to use
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
-.
- And you can safely select the
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Ghostview
+\end_layout
-Use scalable fonts
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
-
- button without worries: It will only apply to the Helvetica font.
-\layout Standard
-
-Sometimes the artifacts introduced by use of the flag can be relieved by
- using the fine-detail screen font sizes which defines which point sizes
- the different logical font sizes correspond to.
- Run LyX as
-\family typewriter
-lyx -dbg 513
-\family default
- to see exactly what concrete fonts the logical sizes map to, and try adjusting
- the corresponding entries in the
-\family sans
-Preferences
-\family default
- dialog until you've managed to hit the nail and get the fonts you want.
- This can be hard to do, because LyX uses the DPI setting and the font zoom
- settings to calculate which exact screen font size to ask the X server
- for, thus obfuscating the mapping.
- If you can't make it by trial-and-error, you can make the process more
- transparent if you set both the DPI setting and font zoom settings to 100---eve
-n when this is known to be wrong.
- This will of course make your scalable fonts look weird, so use with care.
-\layout Subsection
-
-Font encoding
-\layout Standard
-
-By default, LyX will use fonts meant to write Western European text, including
- all kinds of English.
- This is defined through the so-called
-\emph on
-font
-\emph default
-
-\emph on
-encoding
-\emph default
-.
- If you want to use LyX to write for instance Eastern European text, Cyrillic
- or any other language not covered by the ISO-8859-1 font encoding, you
- can define a different one with the encoding setting.
- This requires you to have special fonts installed.
- You can use
-\family typewriter
-xfontsel
-\family default
- to see whether this is the case: check the
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
+\end_inset
-rgstry
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
+ to view PostScript files.
+ You can enter the command needed to start the program in the corresponding
+ fields.
+ In defining this command, you can use the four variables listed in the
+ next section.
+ The viewer is launched when you view an image in LyX or use the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
- and
-\begin_inset Quotes eld

-
- fields for ISO-8859-X values different from ISO-8859-1, and search for
- one that contains the national characters of your language.
- If you find any, enter this encoding in the dialog.
- If not, go searching the Web for appropriate fonts.
- For the Qt frontend, it's recommended you use an iso646 font set.
-\layout Standard
-
-When you've set LyX up to use a different font encoding, you should also
- consider changing the font used by dialog windows in LyX.
- For instance, the
-\family sans
-Table\SpecialChar ~
-of\SpecialChar ~
-Contents
-\family default
- dialog will not be understandable unless you tell LyX to use a different
- font for this.
- By default the menu font is set to
-\family typewriter
--*-helvetica-medium-r
-\family default
-, but often Helvetica is not available in the font encoding you need, so
- the dialog allows this to be changed.
-\layout Standard
-
-As you can see, there are quite a few options that can be used to fine tune
- the look of your fonts.
- This should not scare you from fiddling with the settings, because after
- all, you will hopefully be using LyX for many hours in the future.
- And contrary to real WYSIWYG word processors where you are tied to using
- fonts that have to look good both on paper and on screen, LyX gives you
- the possibility of using fonts that are designed to look good on the screen
- while using a different set of fonts to look good on paper.

- Both are included by default in the

- This is only a display problem and will not cause any harm.
- Also, you will find that some of the translations do not define short-cut

- Sometimes, there are simply not enough free letters to do it.

-\lang english
- or
-\family typewriter
-\lang german
-Bis
-\family default
-\lang english
-.
-
-\family typewriter
-gettext
-\family default
- does not handle such ambigous translations.
- Therefore you have to add some context information to the message: Instead
- of
-\family typewriter
-To
-\family default
- it becomes
-\family typewriter
-To[[as in 'From format x to format y']]
-\family default
- and
-\family typewriter
-To[[as in 'From page x to page y']].
+\end_inset

- Now the two occurences of
-\family typewriter
-To
-\family default
- are different for

- and can be translated correctly to

-\lang german
-Nach

-\lang english
- and

-\lang german
-Bis
-\family default
-\lang english
-, respectively.
-\layout Standard

-Of course the context information needs to be stripped off the original

- Therefore you have to put it in double square brackets at the end of the

- The translation mechanism of LyX ensures that everything in double square

- installing new LaTeX document classes.
- Some definitions: a document class is a LaTeX file (usually ending in
-\family typewriter
-.cls
-\family default
- or
-\family typewriter
-.sty
-\family default
-) which describes the format of a document such as an article, report, journal
- preprint, etc.

- A layout file is a LyX file which corresponds to a LaTeX document class
- and which tells LyX how to

+\begin_layout Subsection
+Dead Keys
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+There is a second way to add support for international characters through
+ so-called dead-keys.
+ A dead-key works in combination with a letter to produce an accented character.
+ Here, we'll explain how to create a really simple dead-key to illustrate
+ how they work.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Suppose you happen to need the circumflex character,
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+ ̂
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ You could bind the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+^
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+-key [a.k.a.
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Shift-6
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+] to the LyX command
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+accent-circumflex
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ in your
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+lyxrc
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ file.
+ Now, whenever you type the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+^
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+-key followed by a letter, that letter will have a circumflex accent on
+ it.
+ For example, the sequence
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+^e
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ produces the letter:
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+ê
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ If you tried to type
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+^t
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+, however, LyX will complain with a beep, since a
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+t
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ never takes a circumflex accent.
+ Hitting
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Space
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ after a dead-key produces the bare-accent.
+ Please note this last point! If you bind a key to a dead-key, you'll need
+ to rebind the character on that key to yet another key.
+ Binding the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+,-key
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ to a cedilla is a bad idea, since you'll only get cedillas instead of commas.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+One common way to bind dead-keys is to use
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Meta-
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+,
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Ctrl-
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+, and
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Shift-
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ in combination with an accent, like
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+~
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ or
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+,
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ or
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+^
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ Another way involves using
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+xmodmap
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ and
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+xkeycaps
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ to set up the special
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Mode_Switch
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ key.
+ The
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Mode_Switch
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ acts in some ways just like
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Shift
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ and permits you to bind keys to accented characters.
+ You can also turn keys into dead-keys by binding them to something like
+
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+usldead_cedilla
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ and then binding this symbolic key to the corresponding LyX command.

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

+\begin_layout Section
+Installing a new LaTeX package
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Some installations may not include a LaTeX package that you would like to
+ use within LyX.
+ For example, you might need FoilTeX, a package for preparing slides or
+ viewgraphs for overhead projectors.
+ Modern LaTeX distributions like TeXLive (2008 or newer) or MiKTeX provide
+ a user interface for that.
+ For example on MiKTeX you start its program
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+Browse Packages
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ to get a list of available packages.
+ To install one, right click on it or use the installing toolbar button.
+ When the package you want to install is not in the list, but you have it
+ in form of a
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+.cls
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ or
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+.sty
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+-file, then copy these files to a subfolder of your LaTeX distribution,
+ for example to the folder
+\family sans
+~
+\backslash
+tex
+\backslash
+latex
+\family default
+.
+ Then update the file name database of your LaTeX-distribution.
+ For example on MiKTeX this is done by pressing the button
+\family sans
+Refresh
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+FNDB
+\family default
+ that you find in MiKTeX's
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+Settings
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ program.
+ In both cases you need afterwards to reconfigure LyX using the menu
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Tools\SpecialChar \menuseparator
+Reconfigure
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ and then to restart LyX.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+If your LaTeX distribution doesn't provide a user interface, then you can
+ follow these steps by using a UNIX/Linux console.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Get the package from
+\begin_inset CommandInset href

+ or wherever.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+You can install this package in several different places.
+ If you want it to be available for all users on your system, then you should
+ install it in your `local' TeX tree; if you want (or need) it to be available
+ just for you, then you can install it in your own `user' TeX tree.
+ Where these should be created, if they do not already exist, depends upon
+ the details of your system.
+ To find out, look in the file

+ that we can't hope to cover every different possibility or problem you
+ might encounter.
+ (The LyX users' list is frequented by people with lots of experience with
+ layout design who are willing to share what they've learned.)
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+As you prepare to write a new layout, it is extremely helpful to look at
+ the example layouts distributed with LyX.
+ If you use a nice LaTeX document class that might be of interest for others,
+ too, and have a nice corresponding LyX layout, feel free to contribute
+ the stuff to us, so we may put it into the distribution.

+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Similar to layout files, and new with LyX 1.6, are layout
+\emph on
+modules
+\emph default
+.
+ Modules are to LaTeX packages much as layouts are to LaTeX classes, and
+ some modules—such as the endnotes module—provide support for just such
+ a package.
+ In a sense, layout modules are similar to included files—files like
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+stdsections.inc
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+—in that modules are not specific to a given document layout but may be
+ used with many different layouts.
+ The difference is that using a layout module does not require editing the
+ layout file.
+ Rather, modules are selected in the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator
+Settings
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ dialog.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Building modules is the easiest way to get started with layout editing,
+ since it can be as simple as adding a single new paragraph or flex inset.
+ But modules may, in principle, contain anything a layout file can contain.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+A module must begin with a line like the following:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+#
+\backslash
+DeclareLyXModule[endnotes.sty]{Endnotes}
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The mandatory argument, in curly brackets, is the name of the module, as
+ it should appear in
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator
+Settings
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ The argument in square brackets is optional: It declares any LaTeX packages
+ on which the module depends.
+ Please note that only packages about which LyX knows should be listed in
+ the square brackets.
+\begin_inset Foot
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+The list of such packages is documented only in the source code.
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ LyX will not check for arbitrary packages.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The module declaration should then be followed by lines like the following:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+#DescriptionBegin
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+#Adds an endnote command, in addition to footnotes.
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+#You will need to add
+\backslash

+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+#Requires: somemodule | othermodule
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+The description is used in
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator
+Settings
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ to provide the user with information about what the module does.
+ The
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Requires
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ line is used to identify other modules with which this one must be used;
+ the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Excludes
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ line is used to identify modules with which this one may not be used.
+ Both are optional, and, as shown, multiple modules should be separated
+ with the pipe symbol: |.
+ Note that the required modules are treated disjunctively:
+\emph on
+at least one
+\emph default
+ of the required modules must be used.
+ Similarly,
+\emph on
+no
+\emph default
+ excluded module may be used.
+ Note that modules are identified here by their
+\emph on

+ without the .module extension.
+ So
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

+ In fact,

+Supporting new document classes
+\end_layout

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

+
+\begin_layout Section
+Declaring a new text class
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+When it's finally time to get your hands dirty and create or edit your own
+ layout file, the following sections describe what you're up against.
+ Our advice is to go slowly, save and test often, listen to soothing music,
+ and enjoy one or two of your favorite adult beverages; more if you are
+ getting particularly stuck.
+ It's really not that hard, except that the multitude of options can become
+ overwhelming if you try to do to much in one sitting.
+ Go have another adult beverage, just for good measure.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Here we go!
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Lines in a layout file which begin with a
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+#
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ are comments.
+ There is one exception to this rule: all layouts should begin with lines
+ like:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+
+\size small
+#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+
+\size small
+#
+\backslash
+DeclareLaTeXClass{article}
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The second line is used when you configure LyX.
+ The layout file is read by the LaTeX script
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+chkconfig.ltx
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+, in a special mode where
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+#
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ is ignored.
+ The first line is just a LaTeX comment, and the second one contains the
+ declaration of the text class.
+ If these lines appear in a file named
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.layout
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+, then they define a text class of name
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ (the name of the layout file) which uses the LaTeX document class
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.cls
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ (the default is to use the same name as the layout).
+ The string
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+article
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ that appears above is used as a description of the text class in the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator
+Settings
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ dialog.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Let's assume that you wrote your own text class that uses the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.cls
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ document class, but where you changed the appearance of the section headings.
+ If you put it in a file
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+myarticle.layout
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+, the header of this file should be:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+
+\size small
+#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+
+\size small
+#
+\backslash
+DeclareLaTeXClass[article]{article (with my own headings)}
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+This declares a text class
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+myarticle
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+, associated with the LaTeX document class
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.cls
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ and described as
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+article (with my own headings)
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ If your text class depends on several packages, you can declare it as:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+
+\size small
+#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+
+\size small
+#
+\backslash
+DeclareLaTeXClass[article,foo.sty]{article (with my own headings)}
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+This indicates that your text class uses the foo.sty package.
+ Finally, it is also possible to declare classes for DocBook code.
+ Typical declarations will look like
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+
+\size small
+#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+
+\size small
+#
+\backslash
+DeclareDocBookClass[article]{SGML (DocBook article)}
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Note that these declarations can also be given an optional parameter declaring
+ the name of the document class (but not a list).
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+So, to be as explicit as possible, the form of the layout declaration is:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+
+\size small
+#
+\backslash
+DeclareLaTeXClass[class,package.sty]{layout description}
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The class need only be specified if the name of the LaTeX class file and
+ the name of the layout file are different; if the name of the class file
+ is not specified, then LyX will simply assume that it is the same as the
+ name of the layout file.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+When the text class has been modified to your taste, all you have to do
+ is to copy it either to
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+LyXDir/layouts/
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ or to
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+UserDir/layouts
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+, run
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Tools\SpecialChar \menuseparator
+Reconfigure
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+, exit LyX and restart it.
+ Then your new text class should be available along with the others.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+In versions of LyX prior to 1.6, you had to restart LyX to see any changes
+ you made to your layout files.
+ As a result, editing layout files could be very time consuming.
+ Beginning with 1.6, however, you can force a reload of the layout currently
+ in use by using the LyX function
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+layout-reload
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ There is no default binding for this function—though, of course, you can
+ bind it to a key yourself.
+ If you want to use this function, then, you should simply enter it in the
+ mini-buffer.
+
+\emph on
+Warning
+\emph default
+: This is very much an `advanced feature'.
+ It is
+\emph on

+\emph default
+ recommended that you save your work before using this function.
+ In fact, it is
+\emph on
+strongly
+\emph default
+ recommended that you not attempt to edit your layout while simultaneously
+ working on a document that you care about.
+ Use a test document.
+ Syntax errors and the like in your layout file could cause peculiar behavior.
+ In particular, such errors could cause LyX to regard the current layout
+ as invalid and to attempt to switch to some other layout.
+ The LyX team strives to keep LyX stable in such situations, but safe is
+ better than sorry.

-One often requested feature from LyX users is to be able to interface LyX

- It does this by offering a general method to interface LyX to external
- applications.
- Instead of introducing a long list of different constructs tailored for
- each specific application, we chose to sacrifice the in-line displaying
- of the included material in order to provide a general construct to cover
- a wide range of applications.
- The result is the external material construct.
- External material presents itself in the document simply as a button, but
- don't let this fool you.
- When you click on it, a dialog will appear that allows you to chose exactly
- what material to include, and in the following sections you will learn
- that this is indeed a powerful mechanism that can solve all of the above
- problems, and more.

+\end_inset
-The external material feature is based on the concept of a
-\emph on
- template
-\emph default
.
- A template is a specification of how LyX should interface with a certain
- kind of material.
- As bundled, LyX comes with predefined templates for XFig figures, Dia diagrams,
- various raster format images, gnuplot, and more.
- You can check the actual list by using the
-\family sans
-Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
-External
-\family default
-\SpecialChar ~
+ See the description of
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
-\family sans
-Material
-\family default
-command.
- Furthermore, it is possible to roll your own template to support a specific
- kind of material.
- Later we'll describe in more detail what is involved, and hopefully you
- will submit all the templates you create so we can include them in a later
- LyX version.
-\layout Standard
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Provides
+\end_layout
-Another basic idea of the external material feature is to distinguish between
- the original file that serves as a base for final material and the produced
- file that is included in your exported or printed document.
- For example, consider the case of a figure produced with XFig.
- The XFig application itself works on an original file with the
-\family typewriter
-.fig
-\family default
- extension.
- Within XFig, you create and change your figure, and when you are done,
- you save the
-\family typewriter
-fig
-\family default
--file.
- When you want to include the figure in your document, you invoke
-\family typewriter
-transfig
-\family default
- in order to create a PostScript file that can readily be included in your
- LaTeX file.
- In this case, the
-\family typewriter
-.fig
-\family default
- file is the original file, and the PostScript file is the produced file.
-\layout Standard
+\end_inset
-This distinction is important in order to allow updating of the material
- while you are in the process of writing the document.
- Furthermore, it provides us with the flexibility that is needed to support
- multiple export formats.
- For instance, in the case of an Ascii resulting file, it is not exactly
- an award-winning idea to include the figure as raw PostScript.
- Instead, you'd either prefer to just include a reference to the figure,
- or try to invoke some graphics to Ascii converter to make the final result
- look similar to the real graphics.
- The external material management allows you to do this, because it is parameter
-ized on the different export formats that LyX supports.
-\layout Standard
+ above (page
+\begin_inset CommandInset ref
+LatexCommand pageref
+reference "des:FreeSpacing"
-Besides supporting the production of different products according to the
- exported format, it supports tight integration with editing and viewing
- applications.
- In the case of an XFig figure, you are able to invoke
-\family typewriter
-xfig
-\family default
- on the original file with a single click from within the external material
- dialog in LyX, and also preview the produced PostScript file with
-\family typewriter
-ghostview
-\family default
- with another click.
- No more fiddling around with the command line and/or file browsers to locate
- and manipulate the original or produced files.
- In this way, you are finally able to take full advantage of the many different
- applications that are relevant to use when you write your documents, and
- ultimately be more productive.

-So, all in all, LyX has information about a number of different programs
- to use behind the scenes in order to realize all of this machinery.
- This information, in fact, is exactly what is contained in the templates.
- To each template, there is associated a list of command lines that are
- used to invoke applications, convert the original file to the produced
- file, and more.
- This mechanism allows the advanced user to extend the capabilities of LyX
- without fiddling with the source code.
- It requires some footwork to define all the different commands and flags,
- but luckily, the LyX team did all the hard work and specified these for

-\layout Standard

-But before the trees grow into the skies, we have to admit that we did take
- one tiny short-cut.
- Since you can produce many different kinds of files to go with each exported
- format, one could also expect that it would be possible to preview each
- product.
- The LyX team decided against this in order to keep the user interface simple.
- Instead of providing a button for each exported file format, we decided
- to introduce the concept of the primary file format and just have one button.

- in the external material dialog, you will get a view of the produced file
- in the primary file format.
- And the primary file format is specified by your document class.
- For most document classes, the primary file format is LaTeX, but for the
- DocBook document classes, the primary file format is DocBook.
- So, when you view the produced file, keep in mind that it will only be
- a preview of what the main result will be.

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

+\end_layout

-\family typewriter
-$$AbsOrRelPathMaster
-\family default
- if the substituted string is some kind of LaTeX input.
-\layout Itemize
+\begin_layout Description

-Else use
-\family typewriter
-$$AbsOrRelPathParent
-\family default
- in order to preserve the user's choice.
-\layout Standard
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Style
+\end_layout
-There are special cases where this rule does not work and e.g.\SpecialChar ~
-relative names
- are needed, but normally it will work just fine.
- One example for such a case is the command
-\family typewriter
-ReferencedFile latex "$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.pstex_t"
-\family default
- in the XFig template above: We can't use the absolute name because the
- copier for

-The external material feature interfaces with a lot of external programs

- In the

+\begin_layout Plain Layout

- Of course, for use in a controlled environment, it can be tempting to just
- fall back to use ordinary shell scripts.

- Of course it stands to reason that such unsafe templates will never be

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

-\start_of_appendix
-Bindings
-\layout Standard
-
-This appendix is a huge cross-reference to all the English language keybindings.
- Originally, we simply wanted to list all of the key bindings followed by
- the function it's bound to.
- That way, a user can look up a key to find out what it does.
- We then decided, what the hey, why not include the default toolbar and
- menu bindings, too.
- Please note this section is likely to be very out of date.
-\layout Standard
-
-The form is really self-explanatory, but here are a few tips: all entries
- are arranged roughly alphabetically for a given modifier (
-\family sans
-C-a
-\family default
-,
-\family sans
-C-b
-\family default
-, etc.).
- For the general keyboard layout, simpler prefixes precede the more complex
- (
-\family sans
-C-s
-\family default
- before
-\family sans
-C-S-c
-\family default
-).
- All entries were gleaned from the default user interface and binding files
- located in the directories
-\family typewriter
-\SpecialChar \ldots{}
-/share/lyx/ui
-\family default
- and
-\family typewriter
-\SpecialChar \ldots{}
-/share/lyx/bind
-\family default
-; they should be treated as the final word on the bindings.
-\layout Standard
-As a final note, be aware that some window managers (such as FVWM) take
- control of some of the function keys or motion keys.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+LyX has supported character styles since version 1.4.0; as of version 1.6.0,
+ these are called Flex insets.
-\family sans
-C-right
-\family default
- is listed here as generating
-\family typewriter
-word-forward
-\family default
-, but FVWM grabs it and uses it to change virtual desktops instead.
- Very annoying unless you instruct your window manager to stop intercepting
- such sequences.

+The use of material from sources external to LyX is covered in detail in

+How does it work?
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Standard
+The external material feature is based on the concept of a
+\emph on
+template
+\emph default
+.
+ A template is a specification of how LyX should interface with a certain
+ kind of material.
+ As bundled, LyX comes with predefined templates for Xfig figures, various
+ raster format images, chess diagrams, and LilyPond music notation.
+ You can check the actual list by using the menu

+ Furthermore, it is possible to roll your own template to support a specific
+ kind of material.
+ Later we'll describe in more detail what is involved, and hopefully you
+ will submit all the templates you create so we can include them in a later
+ LyX version.
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Standard
+Another basic idea of the external material feature is to distinguish between
+ the original file that serves as a base for final material and the produced
+ file that is included in your exported or printed document.
+ For example, consider the case of a figure produced with

+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Standard
+This distinction is important in order to allow updating of the material
+ while you are in the process of writing the document.
+ Furthermore, it provides us with the flexibility that is needed to support
+ multiple export formats.
+ For instance, in the case of a plain text file, it is not exactly an award-winn
+ing idea to include the figure as raw PostScript.
+ Instead, you'd either prefer to just include a reference to the figure
+ or try to invoke some graphics to ASCII converter to make the final result
+ look similar to the real graphics.
+ The external material management allows you to do this, because it is parametri
+zed on the different export formats that LyX supports.

+Besides supporting the production of different products according to the
+ exported format, it supports tight integration with editing and viewing

+ In the case of an Xfig figure, you are able to invoke Xfig on the original
+ file with a single click from within the external material dialog in LyX,
+ and also preview the produced PostScript file with Ghostview with another
+ click.
+ No more fiddling around with the command line and/or file browsers to locate
+ and manipulate the original or produced files.
+ In this way, you are finally able to take full advantage of the many different

+You may ask why there are so many path macros.
+ There are mainly two reasons:
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Relative and absolute file names should remain relative or absolute, respectivel

+LaTeX treats relative file names differently than LyX and other programs
+ in nested included files.
+ For LyX, a relative file name is always relative to the document that contains
+ the file name.
+ For LaTeX, it is always relative to the master document.
+ These two definitions are identical if you have only one document, but
+ differ if you have a master document that includes part documents.
+ That means that relative filenames must be transformed when presented to
+ LaTeX.
+ Fortunately LyX does this automatically for you if you choose the right

+ Of course it stands to reason that such unsafe templates will never be

+ But LyX as shipped from the official distribution channels will never have

+\end_layout

+Including external material provides a lot of power, and you have to be

+ So if you do not fully understand the issues, we recommend that you consult
+ a knowledgeable security professional or the LyX development team if you
+ have any questions about whether a given template is safe or not.
+ And do this before you use it in an uncontrolled environment.
