LyX ⇒ Customize paragraph environments

[oldmankit]

I expect this question has been asked before but I really haven't been able to find an answer.


From a lyx FAQ it says to make all quotes/quotations small, add the following to preamble:

Code: Select all

\let\oldquote\quote
 \renewcommand\quote{\small\oldquote}
 \let\oldquotation\quotation
 \renewcommand\quotation{\small\oldquotation}

I don't want my quotes small, I want them in italics. I tried changing \small to \emph, but it gave me an error. What do I have to do?

I would also like to change the style for subsection (unnumbered) to italics, not bold. How would I do this?

I'm using the memoir class.

Thank you!

1. Try \itshape instead of \emph command for italic quotes/quotations.

2. Generally, you may change subsections' font using memoir's \setSheadstyle command, where S is a sectioning unit (e.g. sec for section, subsec for subsection etc.) E.g.:

Code: Select all

\setsubsecheadstyle{\itshape}

However, this will change not only starred but "normal" subsection too. To separate starred and "normal" subsections I expect some hacking is needed.

That's great. It worked first time. It now looks much more how I wanted it to.

I've decided I don't need to differentiate between normal and starred subsections.

Thank you again.
