-Basically, screen fonts come in two different kinds: scalable outline fonts
- and non-scalable bitmap fonts.
- This distinction seems a bit arbitrary, since non-scalable fonts are actually
- scalable in most modern font renderers.
- The difference lies in the
-\emph on
-quality
-\emph default
- of the scaling, and the
-\emph on
-speed
-\emph default
- of display.
- The most important decision is thus whether you should use non-scalable
- bitmap fonts or scalable outline fonts.
-\end_layout
+\end_inset
-\begin_layout Standard
-The scalable fonts are built from
-\emph on
-outlines
-\emph default
- of the single glyphs (i.e.
- characters) in the font.
- This means that each glyph is defined using mathematical curves that are
- well suited for scaling to any requested size.
- This mathematical definition is interpreted by the font renderer and turned
- into a small picture composed of pixels according to which size and glyph,
- 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.
-\end_layout
+ press the
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:MenuItem

-\begin_layout Standard
-Bitmap fonts on the other hand, are defined by bitmap graphics from the
- start, so they will look good at all the sizes they are meant for.
- However, they don't scale well, because in order to scale a glyph, each
- pixel is enlarged into several pixels.
- It is the same effect that happens if you try to enlarge a picture in
-\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.

-\begin_layout Standard
-The net result of all this, is that bitmap fonts are generally best for
- the small sizes, where they are available, while scalable fonts are generally
- best for large sizes.
- The logical conclusion would thus be to use bitmap fonts for the small
- sizes, and scalable fonts for the large sizes.
- Unfortunately, this is not a good idea, since bitmap fonts and scalable
- fonts are not designed to be used together, so the overall look of such
- a scheme would be bad.
- The best you can do is thus to try both schemes and decide for yourself

- This can be hard to do, because LyX uses the DPI setting and the font zoom

+You do not have to define converters for all formats between which you want
+ to convert.
+ For example, you will note that there is no `LyX to PostScript' converter,
+ but LyX will export PostScript.
+ It does so by first creating a LaTeX file (no converter needs to be defined
+ for this) which is then converted to DVI using the `LaTeX to DVI' converter,
+ and finally converting the resulting DVI file to PostScript.
+ LyX finds such `chains' of converters automatically, and it will always
+ choose the shortest possible chain.
+ You can, though, still define multiple conversion methods between file
+ formats.
+ For example, the standard LyX configuration provides three ways to convert

- The language of choice is called your

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

- For Linux, the manual page for locale(5) could be a good place to start).
\end_layout
-\begin_layout Standard
-Notice that these translations will work, but do contain a few flaws.
- In particular, all dialogs have been designed with the English text in
- mind, which means that some of the translated text will be too large to
- fit within the space allocated.
- This is only a display problem and will not cause any harm.
- Also, you will find that some of the translations do not define short-cut
- keys for everything.
- Sometimes, there are simply not enough free letters to do it.
- Other times, the translator just hasn't got around to doing it yet.
- Our localization team -- which you may wish to join -- will try to fix
- these shortcomings in future versions of LyX.

Installing New Document Classes
\end_layout
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
-\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.
- and all the commands needed to realize that format.
- A layout file is a LyX file which corresponds to a LaTeX document class
- and which tells LyX how to
+
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+First, let us a say a few words about how one ought to think about the relation
+ between LyX and LaTeX.
+ The thing to understand is that, in a certain sense, LyX doesn't know anything
+ about LaTeX.
+ Indeed, from LyX's point of view, LaTeX is just one of several
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
-draw
+backend formats
\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
+ in which it is capable of producing output.
+ Other such formats are DocBook, plaintext, and XHTML.
+ LaTeX is, of course, a particularly important format, but very little of
+ the information LyX has about LaTeX is actually contained in the program
+ itself.
+\begin_inset Foot

+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+Some commands are sufficiently complex that they are
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
-text class
+hardcoded
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
- which is the internal construct LyX uses to render the screen display.
-
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
+ into LyX.
+ But the developers generally regard this as a Bad Thing.

+ Rather, that information, even for the standard classes like
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.cls
+\end_layout
+
\end_inset
- and
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
+, is contained in layout files.
+ Similarly, LyX itself does not know much about DocBook or XHTML.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+You can think of the layout file for a given document class as a translation
+ manual between LyX constructs---paragraphs with their corresponding styles,
+ certain sorts of insets, etc---and the corresponding LaTeX, DocBook, or
+ XHTML constructs.
+ Almost everything LyX knows about
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.cls
+\end_layout

\end_inset
-text class
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
+, for example, is contained in the file
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+article.layout
+\end_layout
+
\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 which contains a set of predefined
- entries for a given document class which are generally required for that
- class.
- Templates are especially useful for things like journal manuscripts which
- are to be submitted electronically.
+ and in various other files it includes.
+ For this reason, anyone intending to write layout files should plan to
+ study the existing files.
+ A good place to start is with

+Defining the LyX--LaTeX correspondence is not the only thing layout files
+ do, though.
+ Their other job is to define how the LyX constructs themselves will appear
+ on-screen.
+ The fact that layout files have these two jobs is often a source of confusion,
+ because they are completely separate.
+ Telling LyX how to translate a certain paragraph style into LaTeX does
+ not tell LyX how to display it; conversely, telling LyX how to display
+ a certain paragraph style does not tell LyX how to translate it into LaTeX
+ (let alone tell LaTeX how to display it).
+ So, in general, when you define a new LyX construct, you must always do
+ two quite separate things: (i)
+\begin_inset space ~

-\begin_layout Enumerate

+Much the same is true, of course, as regards LyX's other backend formats,
+ though XHTML is in some ways different, because in that case LyX
+\emph on
+is
+\emph default
+ able, to some extent, to use information about how it should display a
+ paragraph on the screen to output information (in the form of CSS) about
+ how the paragraph should be displayed in a browser.
+ Even in this case, however, the distinction between what LyX does internally
+ and how things are rendered externally remains in force, and the two can
+ be controlled separately.

- encounter.
+Some installations may not include a LaTeX package or class file that you
+ would like to use within LyX.
+ For example, you might need FoilTeX, a package for preparing slides for
+ overhead projectors.
+ Modern LaTeX distributions like TeXLive (2008 or newer) or MiKTeX provide
+ a user interface for installing such packages.
+ For example, with MiKTeX, you start the program

-When you plan 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,

- the stuff to us, so we may put it into the distribution.

+\begin_layout Subsection
+Upgrading old layout files
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The format of layout files changes with each LyX release, so old layout
+ files need to be converted to the new format.
+ This process has been automated since LyX 1.4: If LyX reads a layout file
+ in an older format, it automatically calls the script
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+layout2layout.py
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ to convert it to a temporary file in current format.
+ The original file is left untouched.
+ If you use the layout file often, then, you may want to convert it permanently,
+ so that LyX does not have to do so itself every time.
+ To do this, you can call the converter manually:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+mv myclass.layout myclass.old
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
+python LyXDir/scripts/layout2layout.py myclass.old myclass.layout
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+You need to replace
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

+\begin_layout Plain Layout

+\end_layout

+\end_inset

+ with the name of your LyX system directory, of course.

+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout LyX-Code

+This declares a text class
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

+\begin_layout Plain Layout

+, associated with the LaTeX document class
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

+ and described as
+\begin_inset Quotes eld

+ If your text class depends on several packages, you can declare it as:

+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+foo.sty
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ 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

+\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
+This tag was introduced with LyX 1.4.0.
+ Layout files from LyX 1.3.x and earlier don't have an explicit file format
+ and are considered to be of format 1.
+ The format for the present version of LyX is format 20.
+ But each version of LyX is capable of reading earlier versions' layout
+ files, just as they are capable of reading files produced by earlier versions
+ of LyX.
+ There is, however, no provision for converting to earlier formats.
+ So LyX 1.6.x will not read layout files in format 20 but only files in format
+ 11 or earlier.

- It does this by offering a general method to interface LyX to external

- 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

+\begin_layout Plain Layout

\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, Dia diagrams,
- various raster format images, gnuplot, and more.
- 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
-\family typewriter
-Xfig
-\family default
-.
- 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.
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+string
\end_layout
-\begin_layout Standard
-This distinction is important in order to allow updating of the material
- while you are in the process of writing the document.
- Furthermore, it provides us with the flexibility that is needed to support
- multiple export formats.
- For instance, in the case of a plain text file, it is not exactly an award-winn
-ing idea to include the figure as raw PostScript.
- Instead, you'd either prefer to just include a reference to the figure,
- or try to invoke some graphics to Ascii converter to make the final result
- look similar to the real graphics.
- The external material management allows you to do this, because it is parameter
-ized on the different export formats that LyX supports.

- In the case of an XFig figure, you are able to invoke

-You may ask why there are so many path macros.
- There are mainly two reasons:
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+CopyStyle
\end_layout
-\begin_layout Standard
-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.
-\end_layout
+\end_inset
-\begin_layout Standard
-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.

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

- In particular, since you have the option of including your own filenames

- This is something we definately want to avoid.

-\begin_layout Standard
-However, since the external program commands are specified in the template
- configuration file only, there are no security issues if LyX is properly
- configured with safe templates only.
- This is so because the external programs are invoked with the
-\family typewriter
-execvp
-\family default
--system call rather than the
-\family typewriter
-system
-\family default
- system-call, so it's not possible to execute arbitrary commands from the

-This also implies that you are restricted in what command strings you can
- use in the external material templates.
- In particular, pipes and redirection are not readily available.
- This has to be so if LyX should remain safe.
- If you want to use some of the shell features, you should write a safe
- script to do this in a controlled manner, and then invoke the script from
- the command string.
- In the
-\family typewriter
-lib/scripts
-\family default
- directory of the LyX installation, you can find a safe wrapper script
-\family typewriter
-general_command_wrapper.py
-\family default
- that supports redirection of input and output.
- That can serve as an example for how to write safe template scripts.

-\begin_layout Standard
-It is possible to design a template that interacts directly with the shell,

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

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

\end_layout
-\begin_layout List
-\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
+\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 List
-\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
+\begin_layout Standard
+Another basic idea of the external material feature is to distinguish between
+ the original file that serves as a base for final material and the produced
+ file that is included in your exported or printed document.
+ For example, consider the case of a figure produced with
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

+ Within Xfig, you create and change your figure, and when you are done,
+ you save the

+\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.

+\begin_layout Standard
+Besides supporting the production of different products according to the
+ exported format, it supports tight integration with editing and viewing
+ applications.
+ In the case of an Xfig figure, you are able to invoke Xfig on the original
+ file with a single click from within the external material dialog in LyX,
+ and also preview the produced PostScript file with Ghostview with another
+ click.
+ No more fiddling around with the command line and/or file browsers to locate
+ and manipulate the original or produced files.
+ In this way, you are finally able to take full advantage of the many different
+ applications that are relevant to use when you write your documents, and
+ ultimately be more productive.

+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.

+ So if you do not fully understand the issues, we recommend that you consult

+ And do this before you use it in an uncontrolled environment.
