I just created my sourceforge account.

Who can add me to the list of user/admins of the lyxbugs project?

I figure I can try tackling a bug or two here or there in my copious
spare time.

Re: mathed78.diff

2001-05-29 Thread Andre Poenitz

 I've found another bug:
 The size of big operators in display equation is like in inline equation and
 not bigger.
 [...]

Ok. I had a couple of hours sleep over it.

Mathed is currently broken and unusable for serious work. I have stated
this several times already.

Mathed is after application of the current patch (i.e. 78) still broken
and unusable for serious work.

Mathed will remain broken and unusable for serious work until the remaining
bits are finished or unless a complete roll back to the state of January
happens. The remaining bits are more or less the iterator/cursor and
the display size stuff and comprise perhaps 10% of the whole thing, rather
less I guess. 

The old math cursor and the new multicell stuff are not overly compatible.
mathed78.diff marks some kind of niche of peaceful co-existence between
the two (there are a few three-line-changes that would move us closer to
the center of that niche, but that's rather cosmetics...) 

Most of the current problems are certainly fixable by throwing enough
glue code between the cursor and the multicell stuff. This mean un-doing
some of the separation work and would be a major hindrance for exactly
those 10% of the work that remain.

There is always the option of a complete roll back so nothing is really
lost.

Working on glue that will get thrown out in a few weeks is wasted time
and annoying.  So I simply won't do it.

Hi,

I've booked my flight to the Famous LyX Drinking Meeting:

I'm leaving from Copenhagen the 22th of June, and arrive in Milan at
14.10. I'm going home from Milan the 26th of June at 13.50. That should be
enough time to get drunk and sober a few times.

 Andre good idea.
 
 Is it possible to do you new style editing only when there is a
 repeated argument in the definition?

Well... we could try that. There is no obvious solution though.

The old style (inline) editing was only possible by the (ab)use of
the macro template itself for drawing which is  breaks with nesting of macros
of the same kind. 

Nowadays inline editing would mean to make macros some kind of 'multicell
inset with dynamic layout' (sort of \sqrt[]{} and \frac, but varing
positions for the nested parts). Probably doable, but not in five minutes.
I even like the 'multicell' part since this would mean more code sharing
with the other insets (macros are still somewhat special...)

Personally, I'd like to have some visual feedback 
  (a) that I am editing macro arguments at all
  (b) the name of the macro I am editing 

(a) is easy with another box color or so, (b) could be done with the
minibuffer, so I am really not religuos about the current layout.

 I don't know.  If he could be maintaining the LyX Debian package more
 frequently i wouldn't bother compiling it on my own.  I guess he has a
 good reason for not regularily updating the Debian package.  Maybe he
 cares mostly about stable releases (which is a very good reason IMHO)?

I don't have as much time for maintaining LyX as I'd like, but the
decision not to upload 1.1.6fix1 was deliberate, and, I think,

attempts (badly) to do so.

css-less browsers will just ignore the CSS commands and use default

Well IMO it is a good idea even for M- and C-

Let's assume that C-a is not bound to anything. Then the first lookup
will return -1 (no func), the we lookup again without C- and get
self-insert as the fun. _If_ C-a had been bound then we would've run

Daniele Pighin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) entered the 
following feedback message on the LyX home page:


Today I took a look at texmacs http://www.texmacs.org, an
application that is a sort of bridge between LyX and Emacs. Though I
still prefere Lyx for writing my scientific documents (especially
because of the good documentation that come with it), texmacs has
several features that would make LyX even better.

First of all, several aspects of texmacs math-editor are faster and
more intuitive.

A few examples:

  to write LaTeX' \Longleftrightarrow (which is quite slow and
unfriendly) you simply write in sequence ==; = automagically
becomes a Latex \ge, = a \Rightarrow, and so on (a
disadvantage of LyX is that if you want to edit formulas fast and
with all the needed symbol, the best way is learning by heart LaTeX
math-mode commands). Moreover, it displays screen output (almost)
exactly as the printed document will be: so, the foresaid ==
wouldn't be displayed as it is, instead, as soon as you digit the last
 and strike the spacebar, it would become a PostScript-like-looking
equivalence symbol.

So, I think that taking a look at texmacs to use some of its best
aspects in Lyx would be a good thing.

Then, there are a couple of things I've always been thinking about
since I started using LyX (that is a really GREAT application,
anyway). First, I've always missed a header/footer editor. Documents
have to be nicely printed and organized, of course, and LyX does it
with really few human efforts. But documents might be also nice
looking, or personalized, and this is quite difficult if you don't
have a good TeX/LaTeX background, and a friendly editor (especially
for fancy headers) to allow the user to customize the size of the
rules, the content of the header on the left, the header on the right,
and so on, would be quite good. Second... wouldn't it be nice to make
it easier to add Xfig's .pslatex to a document??

This is not all, but it is enough :)
Thanks for Lyx, good Job

 Well there are fees on the Highway, but you can use normal streets too.
 I don't think you can pay them in advance and it's  10.000 Lire (5 Euro)
 from Brennero-Brenner to Bolzano-Bozen (Nord).

Ok... so I hope there are no traps like the one near Basel.

(You can cross the Suisse border on motorway there but you have no chance
to pay the fee. Which in turn makes police very happy... Of course one
could leave the motorway already on the German side and go there using
ordinary roads (which is even shorter), but there are no hints for the
unknowing...)

One consistent way to do is to create a new document, cut and paste from another

Hi,

1. Open a new document, insert a table, and press the font button - LyX
   crashes.

2. Insert a figure float into a document, then insert a minipage into the
   float. Enter some TeX code in the minipage (use CTRL+Returns). Move the
   cursor (leave the minipage, enter it again, etc.) and try to
   select/cut/paste some text from time to time. After a few operations you
   will notice that the text selection is not correct any longer (the wrong
   selection is marked).

3. The Apply button in the character layout dialog does not work correctly
   because it is deactivated after the first application.

4. In the label dialog, could you please rearrange the buttons? I am used
   to click the right-most button in order to cancel a dialog.

5. If you open a float with a figure as its first element, the figure
   dialog is always opened at the same time.

6. captions are still not handled correctly on screen.

7. In the include file dialog, the load button does not work. I just get
   the console message
 OkCancelReadOnlyPolicy: No transition for input 3 from state 0

8. Opening and closing of floats only raises the console message
 A truly unknown func!

9. Create a new 5x5 table and insert e e e e ... in the first cell
   until the cell becomes larger than the screen, then (if you have luck
   and LyX does not repaint infinitely!), move one cell
   down and try to insert some text - the red box is not drawn correctly 

10. When cutting normal text (no floats, no minipages, just plain text),
the cursor is not moved correctly. Instead it stays at the same position 
(on screen). This is, of course, wrong. The cursor should be moved right
in front of the text which has been cut.

ARGHH. THIS IS CRITICAL - LyX crashes after a several operations!

11. During compilation gcc -Wall reports a couple of warnings that might be fixed.

Yes, indeed. I can't run Purify right now on my machine but Rational is
expected to release a new version soon that also supports gcc-2.95.2 on
Solaris. Maybe someone who works on another platform would like to
download a try'n'buy version of Purify in the meanwhile (and I think

Dieter Dear Listmembers, hi Dekel, two things to say: 1.) WYSIWYM - I

Dieter Just something like a global selection. I can stay with LaTeX
Dieter - there I have to know what I mean, there I say
Dieter \renewcommand{}{}. Just a suggestion. 

Another solution is to define your own textclass which uses sans serif
by default. This is the cleanest solution (since choice of overall
font is a class-wide decision). Then you can change the default font
to be sans serif on dosplay too (like what happens for foils).

Dieter 2.) If a second patch is
Dieter intended without the first being applied that is really
Dieter strange to me - some 7 years of linux experience say no, this
Dieter cannot happen. Moreover, the directory name for fix2 should
Dieter be fix1 - look into the patch. This must be something
Dieter different. Take care,

You are indeed supposed to apply the fix2 patch on top of the fix1
one. There is however a bug in our distribution process which adds
these CVS/* files whereas it should not. However, I believe that the
patch applies cleanly to a 1.1.6fix1 distribution (this is how I
created it). It may be that it does not apply cleanly to a patched
1.1.6 distribution. This is harmless anyway.

LyX Developers Guide

2001-05-29 Thread Nicolas Thiery

Hello,

I have a student working for a few weeks on a small project whose goal
is to interface LyX with the computer algebra system MuPAD. Well,
actually this is the second time I propose this project. Last summer
two other students of mines worked on it. Basically, it could take a
lyx text paragraph, send it to MuPAD, get back the result as a piece
of LaTeX, and integrate it as an equation in the LyX document. However
it was too buggy and experimental to propose it for integration into
LyX. I hope to get a little bit further this time!

It would be useful for my new student to have access to the developers
guide. It seems the link from http://www.devel.lyx.org/references.php3

Re: LyX Developers Guide

2001-05-29 Thread Andre Poenitz

 I have a student working for a few weeks on a small project whose goal
 is to interface LyX with the computer algebra system MuPAD. Well,
 actually this is the second time I propose this project. Last summer
 two other students of mines worked on it.

There is now a lyx function 'math-extern' that pipes the contents of a
math inset through an external script and tries to read back the output.

This is highly experimental code, though.

How do you solve the problem of extracting sematical structure
from formulas stored for display purposes?

I.e. how do you parse   \int xy dx  as  int(x*y, x) ?

 Mike us to document it, then things will get cleaned up.

 How long do you need? Note that it will be possible to continue
 updateing the docs in 1.2.x, x0

Amount of time isn't as big an issue as not knowing when the interface
will settle down, and I really don't want to redocument it six times -
none of us has the time to do that. I'm hoping that 1.2.0pre0 will freeze
the basic interface/keybindings/commandline for at least a few versions;
if so, then I would like to have the docs _completely_ updated and correct
for 1.2.0 proper. The primary reason the docs are currently lagging is
simply that many things have changed since 1.1.5 and are continuing to
change, as indicated by the spate of messages over the last couple of
days. The UI changes from 1.0.0 through 1.1.5 are actually quite small
compared to 1.1.5 - current CVS. (LyX's guts changed considerably over
that time, but the UI didn't). Of course, new features added after 1.2.0
will require new documentation, but I'd like existing features, like the
change to math arrays, to be settled before we sharpen our pencils. (can
you sharpen a keyboard ? :-) )

Sorry to be a pain in the posterior hinterregions about this, but the
recent UI changes have been rather dizzying. Complicating things for me
personally are the fact that I can't use 1.1.6fixX at work due to the
incomplete table support, so I haven't gotten used to that yet, and CVS is
also changing too fast for me to grab a stable copy and try to do some
real work with it (can a useful snapshot be made occasionally?). We're
just in an exciting, rapidly changing phase, and the docs are going to lag
as a result - we can't document a feature before it's finished! This
brought up the idea of an Errata section on the Web.  At least we can
collect the current inconsistencies and make them known there, so the
Users don't get totally frustrated with the current situation.

Pre-release 'offical' debs (was Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.1.6fix2)

2001-05-29 Thread Jules Bean

At http://people.debian.org/~jules/ is the lyx 1.1.6fix2 deb which I
will upload to woody unless people find serious problems with it.

If you have a system with up-to-date enough libraries, please test it
for me.

I.e:

Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.3-1), libforms0.89, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2,
xlibs ( 4.0.3)

 Hi,
 
 It's good that you put together the deb. However, I still experienced the
 slowness when lyx calls latex from this deb. Do you have this problem on 
 your box with this deb? The only way I can get lyx to run properly (both 1.1.6fix2 
and 1.2.0cvs) is to use gcc-3.0. My locally compiled lyx-1.1.6fix2 
 (with gcc-3.0) works pretty well. You might consider recompile lyx with
 gcc-3.0 to work around the slownes instead of exporting to latex and
 compile by hand.

I don't see this problem locally at all. I'm using gcc 2.95.2-14 and
libstdc++ 2.95.3-6.

The Depends for my .deb differ only in regard to the libforms version.
I've used libforms0.88 whereas you've used libforms0.89.  Maybe we can
find the culprit here?  Yes, with your version i don't experience any
delays either.  So this looks more like a libforms problem.

Attempting (and failing) to compile natbib branch

In spite of my whining, I thought I'd sneak in an attempt to compile
Angus' natbib branch, since he went to the effort to merge it with the
latest main CVS branch. I cruise along okay until I get smacked with the

serbian.kmap

2001-05-29 Thread Vladimir Vrzic

Hi! I made a standard serbian (latin) keymap for LyX. To whom should I 
send it, so it gets included in the distribution?

Also, I have a question: is it possible to make the keymap in such way 
that some keys that are usually not capslock-sensitive become 
capslock-sensitive ("[", "]", "\" for example)?

Thanks in advance,

oh OK I see.

 Trouble is Mirrors aren't just mirrors.  They really are alternate LyX
 sites.  My (out-of-date) LyX pages aren't a mirror for example.

hence the phrase other net things should be elsewhere. The majority of people
coming to the site won't want to look at your pages, they want to download a 
tarball and try it out. So we should have quick fixes as a priority.

 I've seen a couple of sites lately that I'd like to steal some ideas from.
 These two have a nice feel about them:
 
   http://www.windowmaker.org
   http://movingparts.thelinuxcommunity.org/bbkeys.shtml

I agree ;)

 Anyway, we also need to go for a proper HTML-4.01 site rather than the
 transitional hodge-podge we have now.  We also need someone who can draw
 or at least is artistic enough to composite (?) suitable artwork.

definitely not me then :))
