LyX ⇒ Change default Names like Part, Section, …

[auvajs]

Well I am new to LyX. The very first thing I wanted to do was to change some default keywords like part, section, subsection etc. I googled a lot and found that for changing the "Part" word I needed to insert this into the Preamble (my language is Czech).

Code: Select all

\addto\captionsczech{%
  \renewcommand{\partname}{Zmensenanecojinyhokurva}%
}

However, nothing at all happens!! (and it really sucks ...)

Hi auvajs,

welcome to the board!

Perhaps post a small LyX example with your current configuration as attachment to a forum post, so we could investigate it.

Here should I write something


\part{Druhá část}
\end{document}

Hi auvajs,

the order is important, use \addto after babel is loaded, not before, such as

Code: Select all

\usepackage{babel}
\addto\captionsczech{\renewcommand{\partname}{the name}}

thank you Stefan but even if I change the code it doesn't work:

\makeatother

\usepackage{babel}

\begin{document}

\part{ první část}

sdfsdfsdf

sdfsdsdf

sdsdf
\end{document}

and LyX duplicates the \usepackage{babel} tag... (dunno why)

[Stefan Kottwitz]

It works for me with this code.

However, if it really doesn't work with \addto for you, you could simply use

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\partname}{the name}

within an ERT box at the beginning of the document body, i.e. after \begin{document}.

even this doesn't work... strange...

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Because it works fine when I compile with LaTeX, it could be a good idea to post the text example in .lyx format here, as attachment. I remember just certain file extensions are allowed, perhaps rename to .txt if necessary.

Well I upgraded to LyX 2.0.0 and now it works when exporting the document - but it still doesn't work in LyX itself
