Tufte Book Custom Class Options

[mojohn]

I am running Lyx 2.1.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.

After a hiatus from using Lyx, I'm now working on an essay using the Tufte Book Document Class. I want to add some class options, and as I recall, I need to add them in the "Custom" text box at Document ... Settings.

What is the format I should use to input the custom class options for the following:

• Full justification of body text
• Print footnotes and margin notes in sans serif font
• Make footnotes and margin notes the same font size
• Use fancyhdr

Thanks in advance for the assist!

Hello.

• For full justification, use [justified].
• For margin notes, sidenotes, and captions in sans serif, use [sfsidenotes].
• Make the notes the same size as what?
• Tufte-LaTeX already uses fancyhdr.

Hi Kevin. Thanks for the quick response.

I'd like to customize footnotes and margin notes are "small" size.

Also, how and where do I "program" fancyhdr?

I mean, do you program fancyhdr in the preamble?

To adjust the formatting of sidenotes, margin notes, and captions (set
the size, font, color, etc.), you can use the following commands:

\setsidenotefont{⟨font commands⟩}
\setcaptionfont{⟨font commands⟩}
\setmarginnotefont{⟨font commands⟩}
\setcitationfont{⟨font commands⟩}

See page 31 of the manual¹ for examples and details.

Yes, you can just add your fancyhdr commands to the preamble. The
fancyhdr package is already loaded and the Tufte-style running heads
have been defined. But you can override them by defining your own
running heads. See the fancyhdr package documentation² for more
information.

Thank you Kevin. I'll play around with it tomorrow and let you know how
it works out!

Hi Kevin. When I input the [justified] and [sfsidenotes] I received the following error messages. Any idea what I did wrong? (I put the instructions Custom Class Options text box.)

LaTeX Error: File `].cls' not found.

 \documentclass[english,nohyper,[justified]]{                                                 tufte-book}^^M *** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)

\documentclass[english,[sfsidenotes]]{

tufte-book}^^M

*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)

You have extra braces in there. Try changing

\documentclass[english,nohyper,[justified]]{

to 

\documentclass[english,nohyper,justified]{

Cheers,
