math-macros
I just started using LyX, and even after a few hours, it's clear that it's
a great advance over using LaTeX directly, even with great packages like
AucTeX under Emacs. In switching over to LyX, I'm trying to decide how to
best deal with the extensive set of LaTeX math macros I've put together
over the years.
Under LyX, the most straight forward approach would be to simply insert
\input{macros.tex}
into the LaTeX preamble box. I can then save this preamble as part of the
~/.lyx/defaults.lyx file and have it available for all documents I
compose. The disadvantage of this approach is that the macro doesn't get
expanded into WYSIWM mode. For example, \norm{x} appears in the red, TeX
mode.
The math-macro definitions have the advantage that they are expanded and
appear in WYSIWM mode (a LyX perk!). However, there seems to be no
mechanism for saving the math-macro definitions as part of a standard
template.
Are there other options for setting up my macros in LyX as some sort of
default for all new documents, and still take advantage of the WYSIWM
feature?
Thanks for the help.

I wrote a perl script to translate (as reLyX, in a way) a set of lateX
macros a sa set of LyX math-macros, which you had to Include
as a LyX file.
I made it work, but time lacked to make it robust, particularly to old
2.09 constructs embedding math in \mbox to be able to use them in normal
and in TeX mode, which makes no sense in mathed and seemingly in 2e as
somebody pointed out to me recently on the list.
I must have it some where, but I can't have a look right now, I may
do so if you're interested.

Re: Make-Index doesn,t work
I´m using LyX 1.1.6fix1 on a Mandrake 8.0-System. Everything works really fine with LyX, but the Index doesn´t appear in PDF-Files (either using the Way with ps2pdf nor pdftex) Is there anybody out there, who has an idea or solution ? does it appears in dvi- or ps-view? Herbert This seems to be the same problem as with MikTeX 2.01 on Win32! I already have posted log-files to JMarc Lasgouttes [EMAIL PROTECTED] from different TeX distributions because makeindex works with fpTeX 0.4 (the teTeX distribution for Win32) and with the old MikTeX 1.2 release! JMarc expects different log-files to be the reason for that misbehaviour. The log-file will be parsed inside Lyx to create the depency file and (you can check this) there is in some cases no entry for the idx file present! Maybe that can be fixed soon! Claus

Here is a short perl script which used to work before 1.1.5
Works with 1.1.5 (but errors about tokens in TeX mode in the calling window)
Didn't check it with 1.1.6
The usage explains (almost) everything.
url2h.sh allows to test it in a subdir (l2h is a shortcut here for latex2html).
The idea is to use the Name field of the url inset to provide the anchor.

table float with caption at the bottom

Inserting table floats with the caption below the table does not work as in

insert - floats - table floats
then write mycaptiontext, then insert table between Table: and

View-LyX
Hi, I'd like to add a LyX item to my View menu (I'm using 1.1.6fix2), which would launch a text viewer/editor on a temporary copy of the current opened lyx document. Ok, that wouldn't be a major feature... It's just because I'm sometimes curious, but also easily bored with saving files, launching programs, and opening files again..., each time I'm wondering something about the lyx format. I've managed to do it for Latex, just adding gvim in the Preference-Converters-Format-LaTeX-Viewer, but it doesn't seems to work with LyX. What exactly does the ViewFormats item in the ui file refer to? I also tried to do my stuff creating a new file format, namely LyxCopy, with cat as an export converter (yes, there's a long story between cats and me, but I think I've already written you about that;), which would have gvim as a viewer. But it doesn't appear neither in the View menu, nor in the Export one. So a second question is: what exactly can Converters do? Are they only used as import features? Thanks for your lights, -- Thomas.

postscript upodate doesn't work :(
hi! I've just updated lyx to the 1.1.6fix1 release. Although it works fine, I'm experiencing some problems with postscript preview. As a matter of fact, when I try to update it, gv continues to display the same postscript file; moreover, if I close gv and follow the menu (view-postscript), I get once more the old file. In order to get the updated version, I have to close lyx, delete the .lyx directory in /tmp and re-open the file. Ideas? should the 1.1.6fix2 fix that? Giorgio

Greetings all:
I put harvard.sty in the dir below:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base
which is where article.sty and other packages seem to
live, but Lyx gives me the error:
Harvard.sty not found
Should be harvard.sty, not Harvard.sty
You must run texhash to update the hashtable used to find files
quickly.

Thanks.
In the adequate directory, which I never use.
I always put imported stuff in a local directory, e.g.
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/local
whatever the nature of the files, to be able to export
it easily in another installation.
Might need an update of the texmf.cnf file to tell how to find
bst file, I don't remember.

math-macros
I just started using LyX, and even after a few hours, it's clear that it's
a great advance over using LaTeX directly, even with great packages like
AucTeX under Emacs. In switching over to LyX, I'm trying to decide how to
best deal with the extensive set of LaTeX math macros I've put together
over the years.
Under LyX, the most straight forward approach would be to simply insert
\input{macros.tex}
into the LaTeX preamble box. I can then save this preamble as part of the
~/.lyx/defaults.lyx file and have it available for all documents I
compose. The disadvantage of this approach is that the macro doesn't get
expanded into WYSIWM mode. For example, \norm{x} appears in the red, TeX
mode.
The math-macro definitions have the advantage that they are expanded and
appear in WYSIWM mode (a LyX perk!). However, there seems to be no
mechanism for saving the math-macro definitions as part of a standard
template.
Are there other options for setting up my macros in LyX as some sort of
default for all new documents, and still take advantage of the WYSIWM
feature?
Thanks for the help.

I made it work, but time lacked to make it robust, particularly to old

View-LyX
Hi, I'd like to add a LyX item to my View menu (I'm using 1.1.6fix2), which would launch a text viewer/editor on a temporary copy of the current opened lyx document. Ok, that wouldn't be a major feature... It's just because I'm sometimes curious, but also easily bored with saving files, launching programs, and opening files again..., each time I'm wondering something about the lyx format. I've managed to do it for Latex, just adding gvim in the Preference-Converters-Format-LaTeX-Viewer, but it doesn't seems to work with LyX. What exactly does the ViewFormats item in the ui file refer to? I also tried to do my stuff creating a new file format, namely LyxCopy, with cat as an export converter (yes, there's a long story between cats and me, but I think I've already written you about that;), which would have gvim as a viewer. But it doesn't appear neither in the View menu, nor in the Export one. So a second question is: what exactly can Converters do? Are they only used as import features? Thanks for your lights, -- Thomas.

I'm using Lyx 1.1.6fix1 and am encountering the following problem: if I

included files vanish! That is, the include gray boxes are still present
in the lyx document, but when a latex file is produced (either
automatically for making the PostScript or explicitly by Latex Export), the

lyx bug, can anyone confirm and suggest solutions?
Currently, the documentclass of the master file should be equal to the
documentclass of the included files.
About Lyx RTF Format
Hi all!! At now, from my Lyx file I can generate: * .tex (from Lyx Export) * .dvi (from latex command) * .ps (from latex command) * .pdf (using dvipdfm) But my problem is the RTF format. I use latex2rtf for that and occurs than: a) If I Export Lyx to Latex and try latex2rtf my_tex_file.tex, system says: ERROR ...- and no RTF file is obtained. b) If I delete the lines about Lyx in the exported .tex file,..., I OBTAIN AN RTF FILE!! Can someone explain to me this? Can someone suggest to me the most efficient method (or program) for the conversion from Lyx to RTF, or from Latex to RTF? Thanks... (Adolfo M. Pachón Rodríguez)
postscript upodate doesn't work :(
hi! I've just updated lyx to the 1.1.6fix1 release. Although it works fine, I'm experiencing some problems with postscript preview. As a matter of fact, when I try to update it, gv continues to display the same postscript file; moreover, if I close gv and follow the menu (view-postscript), I get once more the old file. In order to get the updated version, I have to close lyx, delete the .lyx directory in /tmp and re-open the file. Ideas? should the 1.1.6fix2 fix that? Giorgio
Hyphenation of citation references

Capitalization in BibTeX to LyX
Greetings: Moving right along in my experience with Lyx, I am setting up my bibliography with BibTeX. Couple of questions. 1. I cannot seem to get the harvard style to work. Went to a couple of sites: one was missing the makefile info http://www.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/tex-new/doc/latex/harvard/ the other was a dead URL http://www.arch.su.edu.au/~peterw/latex/harvard/ . I am using plain for now, but help here would be greatly appreciated. How can I get the Harvard package and the various styles to work in Lyx? 2. I used the Incollection type for a reference and the Title (as opposed to the BookTitle) will only capitalize the first word. I understand that this is the normal mode, but my title is The Guatemalan Commission for Historical Clarification: blah blah blah which is a Proper noun. How can I override the non-cap tendency when necessary? Otherwise, I am a happy lil camper in my Lyx'ing. Just call me a LyxChix now. LOL. Many thanks for help on this and my previous posts.

in latex preamble write
\usepackage{array}
clear all entries for a cell-width in any column,
than open table-menu for the first cell (upper left)
and write in the alignment field (lower left)
for example:
|c!{\vrule width 3pt}p{12cm}|
this must be the whole definition of the table!
here it is:
|center column|||column with a width of 12cm|

vline vline 3pt vline
or for a simple table
|c!{\vrule width 3pt}c|
the !{\vrule width 3pt} is like a | for a vertical line.
