Re: Problem using tex2lyx Unicode char \u8:�in not set up for use with LaTeX.

 The standard unicode input encoding (utf8) is rather limited. LyX  
 has a
 more comprehensive translation table, so setting the output encoding  
 to
 language default (in DocumentSettingsLanguage) might solve this
 problem.

 However the question is to know why the encoding is set to utf8 by  
 tex2lyx.

Most probably because the original file used it.

However, in this case the question is, how the non-translable Unicode
character came into the file:

* Does tex2lyx do reverse engineering of LaTeX commands to unicode
  characters?
  
* or, maybe the OP did insert it after the conversion to LyX?

A minimal example file would help.

save as latex file: displaymath instead of \[, newline

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

When I save a LyX document to Latex (using 1.6.2) the
resulting Latex file 
looks like:
,
| 
| this is a test
| 
| \[
| \int\]
| 
| and then
`
Couldn't it be saved as 
,
| this is a test
| \[
| \int
| \]
| and then 
`
an empty line between this is a test and \[ causes
unnecessary spaces. The  \int\] instead of 
 \int
\]
makes reading it more difficult.

Another point is  instead of using \[, using displaymath

,
| this is a test
| \begin{displaymath}
| \int
| \end{displaymath}
| and then 
`

The reason for displaymath is: using displaymath the code is nicely
displayed in (X)emacs.

feature proposal: show latex code: allow to manipulate the latex code: reveal code

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

One of the things I like in LyX is that the source code is
shown. It is a little like reveal code in wordperfect, which
I recently discovered.


However sometimes lyx is doing things I don't want
like inserting  a new line. 

Would it be possible to manipulate directly the source code
window, that would to obtain even better control about the
final document.

 an empty line between this is a test and \[ causes

That's a matter of taste. Some users prefer the space to make it better

respect but have to find a compromise.

\[\] is the standard LaTeX formula environment and should therefore be

We cannot simply change this because then other third-party programs

Child encodings

[Dionysios]

LyX 1.6.5, then 1.6.6
Windows
MiKTeX 2.8

Included some child documents with different encodings and got the following:
!!
Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
!!

As found, the solution for TeX is to insert
\inputencoding{foo}

The problem seems to be that LyX exports child documents to TeX with no 
information on encoding.
Yet adding an ERT inset with that code is also a solution.

spreadsheet capability?

This happens because you hit the Enter key before the equation. If you
go to Preferences-LookFeel-Display and select Mark end of
paragraphs, you will see a pilcrow marking the end of a paragraph.
Positioning the cursor just before the equation and hitting the
backspace key, the pilcrow marker should disappear and you will not
get the extra space on output.

 The  \int\] instead of 
  \int
 \]
 makes reading it more difficult.

This is more tricky than you imagine, because there's a risk of
introducing an end of paragraph not easily eliminable as in the
previous case. However, I think that it is possible to output
%\n\\] instead of \\] such that you would get
  \int%

LyX 1.6.6.1

[Jürgen Spitzmüller]

I've set up a new tarball, labelled lyx-1.6.6.1, that just consists of a fix 
to #6708 (spellchecker misses every second word after you corrected the first 
one). This is in fact Lyx 1.6.6 with r33567 reverted. None of the new stuff in 
branch is included. Also, I have not yet reverted r33567 in branch. I leave 
that to Jean-Marc.

Please find the tarballs here:
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.bz2

Due to the annonyance factor of this spellchecker issue, I'd like to release 
Lyx 1.6.6.1 as soon as possible. This does of course not exclude a soonish 
release of LyX 1.6.7, if this is judged by the further progress in branch.

Code Review: Next step to provide spellchecker with dictionaries included

[Stephan Witt]

Dear LyX developers,

I've prepared a patch to change hunspell and myThes wrappers to be ready for 
included dictionaries.
Please have a look at the patch and point me to typos and thinkos.
With the changes the binary searches the data files in this order:
1. user path from configuration
2. user support directory and
3. system support directory - there will the shipped data files live.

The next steps on my agenda are
* apple spell checker
* aspell fix (if possible)
* dictionary collection

Regards,
Stephan

That's a matter of taste. Some users prefer the space to make it better

\[\] is the standard LaTeX formula environment and should therefore be 
recognized by every LaTeX editor. If not, request this feature from the 
developers of your preferred editor.
We cannot simply change this because then other third-party programs 
like converters might have problems. Whe therefore try to keep the LaTeX 
output as stable as possible.

Child encodings

[Dionysios]

LyX 1.6.5, then 1.6.6
Windows
MiKTeX 2.8

Included some child documents with different encodings and got the following:
!!
Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
!!

As found, the solution for TeX is to insert
\inputencoding{foo}

The problem seems to be that LyX exports child documents to TeX with no 
information on encoding.
Yet adding an ERT inset with that code is also a solution.

This happens because you hit the Enter key before the equation. If you
go to "Preferences->Look>Display" and select "Mark end of
paragraphs", you will see a pilcrow marking the end of a paragraph.
Positioning the cursor just before the equation and hitting the
backspace key, the pilcrow marker should disappear and you will not

This is more tricky than you imagine, because there's a risk of
introducing an end of paragraph not easily eliminable as in the

"%\n\\]" instead of "\\]" such that you would get

Code Review: Next step to provide spellchecker with dictionaries included

[Stephan Witt]

Dear LyX developers,

I've prepared a patch to change hunspell and myThes wrappers to be ready for 
included dictionaries.
Please have a look at the patch and point me to typos and thinkos.
With the changes the binary searches the data files in this order:
1. user path from configuration
2. user support directory and
3. system support directory - there will the shipped data files live.

The next steps on my agenda are
* apple spell checker
* aspell fix (if possible)
* dictionary collection

Regards,
Stephan

please do you have any idea whether is safe to use blindly ssconvert or gnumeric
in the sense that attacker can't write eg some excel macro-virus which would
get executed via ssconvert or gnumeric?

we have already rejected gnuplot support because of the fact that somebody
could embed script like "! rm -rf /" into .lyx file...
