-Making a Decimal Point Aligned Column
-\layout Standard
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
-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:

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
+ sets of bullets for different paragraphs.

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.

If you do modify the text you will also need to specify any needed packages

-The AMS LaTeX layouts are set up to conform to suggested styles for mathematical

- All results and similar statements are numbered as

-\end_inset
-
-, where the first number refers to the section, and the second refers to
- the total number of results (Theorems, Corollaries, Propositions, Definitions

- There are also many (but not all) environments available unnumbered, which

- Unnumbered environments indicated by an asterisk at the end.

- Unnumbered environments indicated by an asterisk at the end.
-\layout Enumerate
-
-amsart-plain: This one is even more terse, since all the environments are
- unnumbered.
-\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_layout

+\begin_layout Section
+Normal communication
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+To issue a LyX call, the client writes a line of ASCII text into the input
+ pipe.
+ This line has the following format:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Quote
+LYXCMD:
+\emph on
+clientname
+\emph default
+:
+\emph on
+function
+\emph default
+:
+\emph on
+argument
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Description
+clientname is a name that the client can choose arbitrarily.
+ Its only use is that LyX will echo it if it sends an answer—so a client
+ can dispatch results from different requesters.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Description
+function is the function you want LyX to perform.
+ It is the same as the commands you'd use in the minibuffer.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Description
+argument is an optional argument which is meaningful only to some functions
+ (for instance, the
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+self-insert
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ LFUN will insert the argument as text at the cursor position).
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The answer from LyX will arrive in the output pipe and be of the form
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Quote
+INFO:
+\emph on
+clientname
+\emph default
+:
+\emph on
+function
+\emph default
+:
+\emph on
+data
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+where
+\emph on
+clientname
+\emph default
+ and
+\emph on
+function
+\emph default
+ are just echoed from the command request, while
+\emph on
+data
+\emph default
+ is more or less useful information filled according to how the command
+ execution worked out.
+ Some commands, such as
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+font-state
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+, will return information about the internal state of LyX, while other will
+ return an empty data-response.
+ This means that the command execution went fine.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+In case of errors, the response from LyX will have this form
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Quote
+ERROR:
+\emph on
+clientname
+\emph default
+:
+\emph on
+function
+\emph default
+:
+\emph on
+error message
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+where the
+\emph on
+error message
+\emph default
+ should contain an explanation of why the command failed.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Examples:
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Section
+Notification
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+LyX can notify clients of events going on asynchronously.
+ Currently it will only do this if the user binds a key sequence with the
+ function
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+notify
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ The format of the string LyX sends is as follows:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Quote
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code

+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+NOTIFY:
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\emph on
+key-sequence
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+where
+\emph on
+key-sequence
+\emph default
+ is the printed representation of the key sequence that was actually typed
+ by the user.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+This mechanism can be used to extend LyX's command set and implement macros.
+ Bind some key sequence to
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+notify
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ Then start a client that listens on the output 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.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Section
+The simple LyX Server Protocol
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+LyX implements a simple protocol that can be used for session management.
+ All messages are of the form
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Quote
+LYXSRV:
+\emph on
+clientname
+\emph default
+:
+\emph on

+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard

+ If

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 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

Introduction

+\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 requires version 5.0 (or higher) of these macros.
+ 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.

, enter the new file name, then choose the
-\family typewriter
+\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 typewriter

-\family default
+\family default
) with the correct information.
Many of the AASTeX commands and environments can be implemented directly
in LyX, but some cannot: most noticeably

-\backslash

altaffilmark
-\family default
+\family default
and
-\family typewriter
+\family typewriter
-\backslash
+\backslash
altaffiltext
-\family default
+\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 more required than any of us would like.

+\end_layout
-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

- To get around this, the

-Slide
-\family default
- environment isn't a paragraph environment as described in the

+\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

+ So, how do you get around this problem? The simplest option is to insert

Overview
-\layout Standard
+\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).
-\layout Standard
+\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.
LyX, though, does not support all of these goodies natively.
Some of them might be added to forthcoming releases

Memoir supports basically all features of the standard book classes.
There are, however, some differences, as follows:

-\layout Description
+\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
+\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
-Short\SpecialChar ~
+Short
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
Title
-\family default
+\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.
- Unfortunately, LyX does not support two optional arguments yet.
- But you can fool it.
- Just insert a pair of brackets in ERT-Mode (
-\family sans
-C-l
-\family default
-) between the first and the second argument.
- That is, type
-\emph on
-<short title for the toc>
-\emph default
-
-\family typewriter
-][
-\family default
-
-\emph on
-<short title for the headers>
-\emph default
-in the Short Title inset (where
-\family typewriter
-][
-\family default
- is in TeX-Mode).
-\layout Description
+ 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.
-\layout Description
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Description
Titlepage: For some unknown reason, Memoir uses pagination on the title
page (in the standard classes, title pages are

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.

It produces an error and stops LaTeX whenever such a command appears.
The class option
-\emph on
+\emph on
oldfontcommands
-\emph default
+\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.

- Recent LaTeX distributions come with Postscript® Type 1 version of the

- This is done by adding

-Syntax Files
-\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sub:relyx-syntax}
-
-\end_inset
-
-
-\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.
-\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.
-\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
+ in cool blue, followed by the label,
\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
+\end_inset
-translate
+NewSlide:
\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
+\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
+.
+ Any text or paragraph environments that follow this one go on the new slide.
+ It's that simple.
+\end_layout
-\backslash
-raisebox{}[][]{translate}
-\family default
+\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
.
- 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
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The
+\family sans

+\family default
+ and
+\family sans

+ They both create an
\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
+\end_inset

\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
-
- on optional arguments.
-\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.
-\layout Standard

+NewOverlay:
\begin_inset Quotes erd

-\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 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

+\end_inset
-\backslash

- (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.)
-\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
-

- Put any commands you'd like translate between

-
-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.
-\layout Standard

+\begin_inset Quotes erd

-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:

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
+\family default
not only checks the
-\emph on

+\emph default

+\family sans
ChkTeX
-\family default

catches some common

errors, in addition to the syntactical ones.
Specifically,
-\family sans
+\family sans
ChkTeX
-\family default

is capable of detecting several common errors, such as
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Itemize
Ellipsis detection:
-\newline
+\begin_inset Newline newline
+\end_inset

Use \SpecialChar \ldots{}

-\layout Itemize

+\begin_layout Itemize
No space in front of/after parenthesis:
-\newline
+\begin_inset Newline newline

-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Itemize
Enforcement of normal space after common abbreviations:
-\newline

+\begin_layout Itemize
Enforcement of end-of-sentence space when the last sentence ends with a
capital letter:
-\newline
+\begin_inset Newline newline

This is a TEST.
And this is wrong spacing.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Itemize
Space in front of labels and similar commands:
-\newline

The label should stick right up to the text to avoid falling to a wrong

How to use it

+Check
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset

TeX
-\family default
+\family default
.
This will make LyX generate a LaTeX file of your document, start
-\family sans
+\family sans
ChkTeX
-\family default
+\family default
to check it, and then make LyX insert
\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
+\end_inset
error boxes
\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
+\end_inset
with the warnings from
-\family sans
+\family sans
ChkTeX
-\family default
+\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
+\family sans

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

How to fine tune it
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Standard
Sometimes, you'll find that
-\family sans

Then you can choose not to use it, wait until your mood changes, or try
to customize
-\family sans

to get better along with you.
Another choice in the most desperate situations is to use

Introduction
-\layout Standard
+\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.
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.
-\layout Standard
+\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
+\end_inset
rcsintro
\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
+\end_inset
(a man file, read it with
-\family typewriter
+\family typewriter
man rcsintro
-\family default
+\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
+\family typewriter
,v
-\family default
+\family default
).

-The implementation in LyX assumes a recent version of the GNU RCS package---no

+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+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
+ of) document.
+ 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 based on
+\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Code
+status collapsed
+
+\begin_layout Plain Layout
+svn:needs-lock
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+ file svn property.
+ 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:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+Unlocked state.
+ The loaded file is in the read-only mode.
+ For editation on needs to check-out.
+
+\emph on
+Check-out
+\emph default
+ consists of update from repository and gaining write lock.
+ If the lock is not possible to obtain, we remain in unlocked state.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+Locked state.
+ The loaded file is in the 'normal' edit mode.
+ No other user is allowed to edit the file.
-\layout Standard
+\emph on
+Check-in

+ consists of commiting changes and releasing write-lock.
+ If no changes have been made to the document, no commit will be produced

+Preparation
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+In addition to installing LyX, and having access to a Subversion repository,
+ the user will need to install the Subversion client program.
+ A Windows installer for the client program is available from
+\begin_inset CommandInset href
+LatexCommand href

+
+\end_inset
-RCS command:

+ The user may also want to install
+\begin_inset CommandInset href
+LatexCommand href
+name "TortoiseSVN"
+target "http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/"
+
+\end_inset
+
+, which integrates Subversion operations into the context (rightclick) menu
+ of Windows Explorer.
+ Operations done outside LyX will typically be more convenient using the
+ Explorer context menu.
+ Note that TortoiseSVN is not a replacement for the client program, which
+ is what LyX itself will use.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsubsection
+Bringing a document under Subversion control
+\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
+ in
+\family typewriter
+C:
+\backslash

+\family default
+ Supply a name for the project folder and click OK.
+ Add a message for the log file if desired, then click OK again.

There is also a new function implemented in the LyX server, the

-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Standard
When debugging code with ddd/gdb, it is possible to invoke a text editor
at the current execution position with a single key stroke.
The default ddd configuration for that is shift-ctrl-V.
It happens that you can define the editor command line invocation in ddd
- by accessing the

+\end_layout

I take advantage of the new created LyX server function and this ddd feature,
and set
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\begin_inset Quotes erd

+\end_layout
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
echo "LYXCMD:monitor:server-goto-file-row:@FILE@ @LINE@" >~/.lyxpipe.in
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
+\begin_layout Standard
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
ddd was pointing to.
No more guessing or long scrolling to locate a point in the program back
from debugging !

Note however that you must enable the LyX server to get this feature working

-The default numbering for the

- 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:

-\backslash
-Roman{enumi}.}
-\layout LyX-Code
-

-\layout LyX-Code
-
-
-\backslash
-renewcommand{
-\backslash
-labelenumiv}{
-\backslash
-alph{enumiv}.)}
-\layout Standard
-
-\SpecialChar \ldots{}
- which changes the numbering scheme to uppercase Roman numerals, uppercase
- letters, Arabic numbers, and lowercase letter.
-\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
-

-

-\begin_inset Quotes erd

->.
-
-\layout Standard

-As you can see in the example, there is a label command for each nesting
- level,
-\family typewriter
-
-\backslash

-\family default
- \SpecialChar \ldots{}
-

- You can add characters before or after these, but there's no need to add

-Extra Space Between Table Rows
-\layout Standard
-\added_space_bottom bigskip

-Mike Ressler
-\layout Standard
-\noindent
-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 (
-\family typewriter
-
-\backslash
-
-\backslash
-
-\family default
-).
- LyX has not yet implemented this in a formal way, so here are two dirty
- little tricks to do the same job.
-
-\layout Standard
-
-The first is the more formal, but longwinded way to do it.
- In the LaTeX preamble, add the following command definition:
-\layout Standard
-
-
-\family typewriter
-
-\backslash
-newcommand{
-\backslash
-extratablespace}[1]{
-\backslash
-noalign{vskip#1}}
-\family default
- 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.
- Here is an example (I've removed all the borders using
-\family sans

- 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:

Implementing them with plain LyX/LaTeX is straightforward (assuming you

as you can see by all the ugly TeX-mode stuff at the beginning of this

here is a much easier way of doing this, of course.
The
-\family typewriter

dropcaps
-\family default

(or the newer
-\family typewriter

-\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 erd

and the pluses from the TeX code at the beginning of the paragraph, and
add
-\family typewriter
+\family typewriter
-\backslash
+\backslash
usepackage{dropcaps}

+\family default
to your LaTeX preamble, you will get a nice Times Roman Italic
\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
+\end_inset
T
\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
+\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
+\family typewriter
dropcaps.sty
-\family default
+\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
+\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
+\family typewriter
.../texmf/fonts/tfm
-\family default
+\family default
directory for possibilities).
My personal favorite is

+\family typewriter
yinit
-\family default
+\family default
\begin_inset Quotes erd

, a fancy German font specifically designed for dropped capitals.
The fourth argument is the letter (or letters) to be dropped.

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.

As you can see, the examples in this section range from the useful to the
whimsical.

TeX is a fantastically powerful typesetting system and all that power is
available to you since LyX uses it as its backend.
Happy LyXing!
