Print pictures with different printer
Hello, is there a possibility to print the text-part of a text with a laser printer, then take this output and print the pictures with an ink printer on it? To do this on the one hand all pictures must be blanked out and on the other hand all text has to be set white or so. If it is possible at all, it would be nice to have an option in LyX to make such a procedure as easy as possible. Thanks __ __/_/\ /_/\_\/ \_\/_/\ Christian \_\/ Schanz

cross-references between files
The extended features guide it is said: It is possible to set up cross-references between the different files. First, open all the files in question: let's call them A and B in a two file example, where B is included in A. Let's say you insert a label in A, then want to reference it in B. Switch to A, then select Insert-Cross-Reference. Now switch the document to B without closing the cross-reference popup. Insert the cross reference and you are done! When you preview file A, everything is properly included and labeled. If you accidentally close the popup, then reopen it while you are in B, you will only see B's labels. This whole procedure is perhaps a bit counterintuitive (it has even been called a bug), but it does work. I have tried this, but if I open the cross-reference popup in A and then I switch to B, the cross-reference popup does close automatically! How can I do? And is it possible to insert citation references too? My LyX version is 1.1.6 fix3, built from sources.

xforms problem with RH 7.1 ( for lyx )
I ve been trying to make lyx work with Red Hat 7.1 ( 2.4 kernel ).I got the latest src.rpm. It looks like it needs xforms as a prerequisite. I got the .88-2 of xforms and finished the compilation. ( Though xforms was an src.rpm it didn t look like it had any actual src files. I didn t see any actual compilations ).But when lyx comes up after the first dialog box it core dumps. Though I searched the web I could not get a solutions. ( I found a reference mentioning the same problem ). My first priority is to make lyx work in RedHat 7.1. Is there any way at all. Is there anybody out there who has done this successfully. Also people seems to be thinking xforms as crude. I also understand that it s not a GPL d software ( which might explain why it didn t do a compile for an src.rpm ). Given these is there a reason why lyx team decided to use it.

On the page you want to start the numbering put this LaTeX code
\setcounter{page}{1}
If you don't want the previous pages to show the page number you can try
\thispagestyle{empty}
but you must put that command on each page that need it. This can be done
better but with more LaTeX coding.
Or put \pagestyle{empty} at the beginning of the document, and

Blatantly wishful feature request
I know the developers are working on lots of necessary stuff, but here's a feature that would be real nice if possible. It would be wonderful if LyX could have an outline view similar to MS Word, where you could move headings, *with their contained subheadings and body text*, or add headings or delete headings and their subheadings and body text (with adequate confirmation), or promote or demote heading trees. Klyx had most of this a few years ago, but unfortunately would not let you add headings. And of course Klyx has fallen behind... We all know a book is best designed as an outline before a single line of body text is written, but we also know that unfortunately some structural changes are required during the writing of the book, and those structural changes would be much easier if there were an outline view.

Some observations and suggestions
Hi all, I've been using lyx for about one and a half year now and I'm quite happy with it. Especially since I've changed to CJK-LyX and now am able to use Japanese and German in the same text with the cjk-latex package (although because of missing unicode support it is still not as convenient as it could be. By the way, is there still a project to include CJK-support into normal lyx?). Here some small observations, suggestions and/or questions coming from my personal every day experience: 1) I need ERT quite frequently. It would be cool to have a special box for latex code. I mean a box like the one for footnotes, which supports cut and paste and everything like normal text. Every text in this box should be automatically understood as red text, and if you close the box, your screen is clean (except of a small label). Of course that has nothing to do with functionality, it's just a way to hide ERT. 2) Find and Replace should be improved. It is very slow and it's fuctionality should be enhanced, in order to use special codes and ERT too. For example if I want to replace z. B. by z.\,B. (\, in red) it should be possible to do this with Find and Replace. I understand that you developer guys, who know the lyx file structure and also sed or perl very well don't need that. But for the normal user it would be a great improvement. I didn't manage to replace z. B. with sed, because in the lyx file this expression is divided into two separate lines and I didn't find out how to use sed for such expressions. 3) Is there a way to start scripts which do changes on the lyx file from within lyx? Or is it always necessary to do it outside? I found something like that on Herberts homepage under Czech Typographie, but I didn't understand it. 4) If I close a box with Ctr-i the cursor should be placed behind the box. 5) Version Control is a great feature. It should be improved by 2 very common tasks: to check out a special version number, and to check in with a new version number (lets say 2.1 instad of 1.44). Of course you can do that outside, but you have to be very careful not to mess up everything. That's enough for the moment. Thank you for your work and thanks in advance for any comment.

Variable spacing
I'm working on my first serious LyX document: a paper that I'll be presenting next year at a professional society meeting. It has five major parts which I designated as *parts. But, when I view the postscript output, I see that the spacing between sections/subsctions varies, particularly toward the end of what I've written. Could this be related to my adding the headings for the rest of the paper before I've written them? That is, could LaTeX be formatting the vertical spacing of paragraphs and headings on the prior pages so they end at the bottom of the last page (before the outline)? Or, is this a problem where I need to hand-tune the leading? TIA, Rich Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.

First, open all the files in question: let's call them A and B in a two file example, where B is included in A. Let's say you insert a label in A, then want to reference it in B. Switch to A, then select Insert-Cross-Reference. Now switch the document to B without closing the cross-reference popup. Insert the cross reference and you are done! When you preview file A, everything is properly included and labeled. If you accidentally close the popup, then reopen it while you are in B, you will only see B's labels. This whole procedure is perhaps a bit counterintuitive (it has even been called a bug), but it does work. I have tried this, but if I open the cross-reference popup in A and then I switch to B, the cross-reference popup does close automatically! How can I do? And is it possible to insert citation references too? My LyX version is 1.1.6 fix3, built from sources.

xforms problem with RH 7.1 ( for lyx )
I ve been trying to make lyx work with Red Hat 7.1 ( 2.4 kernel ).I got the latest src.rpm. It looks like it needs xforms as a prerequisite. I got the .88-2 of xforms and finished the compilation. ( Though xforms was an src.rpm it didn t look like it had any actual src files. I didn t see any actual compilations ).But when lyx comes up after the first dialog box it core dumps. Though I searched the web I could not get a solutions. ( I found a reference mentioning the same problem ). My first priority is to make lyx work in RedHat 7.1. Is there any way at all. Is there anybody out there who has done this successfully. Also people seems to be thinking xforms as crude. I also understand that it s not a GPL d software ( which might explain why it didn t do a compile for an src.rpm ). Given these is there a reason why lyx team decided to use it.

On the page you want to start the numbering put this LaTeX code
\setcounter{page}{1}
If you don't want the previous pages to show the page number you can try
\thispagestyle{empty}
but you must put that command on each page that need it. This can be done
better but with more LaTeX coding.
Or put \pagestyle{empty} at the beginning of the document, and
\pagestyle{fancy} at the appropriate place.

Cheers Suppose that your files are master.lyx, chap1.lyx, chap2.lyx, and you want to insert a label from chap2.lyx to chap1.lyx. You have three options: 1. Open master.lyx, open the insert reference dialog, and return to chap1.lyx. Now, whenever you open the insert reference dialog in chap1.lyx, you will get a list of all labels in all the files. 2. Got chap2.lyx, and insert the reference there. Now, cut the reference from chap2.lyx and paste it into chap1.lyx 3. Type M-x reference-insert ref|++||++|label where label is the required label.

In addition you need xforms. While it is not GPLed, there will be alternate GUIs (gtk, QT) in LyX 1.2.0 some time in the future. You can find xforms-0.89-5*rpms on ftp.lyx.org. Get the version under linux/elf and do a rpm -Uvh xforms* If you want to compile from source also get the source- and header-rpms and install them. Unpack lyx-1.1.6fix3.tar.gz and do an ./configure in the directory. It should tell you if there is anything missing. If not, do a make make install strip, wait a couple minutes and everything should be fine. The installed programms should be in /usr/local/bin. Move them if that directory is not in your PATH. IIRC there is also an option in the configure-scipt (do a ./configure --help to see the options) Let me know, if you have any problem. Have fun, Michael

Blatantly wishful feature request
I know the developers are working on lots of necessary stuff, but here's a feature that would be real nice if possible. It would be wonderful if LyX could have an outline view similar to MS Word, where you could move headings, *with their contained subheadings and body text*, or add headings or delete headings and their subheadings and body text (with adequate confirmation), or promote or demote heading trees. Klyx had most of this a few years ago, but unfortunately would not let you add headings. And of course Klyx has fallen behind... We all know a book is best designed as an outline before a single line of body text is written, but we also know that unfortunately some structural changes are required during the writing of the book, and those structural changes would be much easier if there were an outline view.

Some observations and suggestions
Hi all, I've been using lyx for about one and a half year now and I'm quite happy with it. Especially since I've changed to CJK-LyX and now am able to use Japanese and German in the same text with the cjk-latex package (although because of missing unicode support it is still not as convenient as it could be. By the way, is there still a project to include CJK-support into normal lyx?). Here some small observations, suggestions and/or questions coming from my personal every day experience: 1) I need ERT quite frequently. It would be cool to have a special box for latex code. I mean a box like the one for footnotes, which supports cut and paste and everything like normal text. Every text in this box should be automatically understood as red text, and if you close the box, your screen is clean (except of a small label). Of course that has nothing to do with functionality, it's just a way to hide ERT. 2) Find and Replace should be improved. It is very slow and it's fuctionality should be enhanced, in order to use special codes and ERT too. For example if I want to replace z. B. by z.\,B. (\, in red) it should be possible to do this with Find and Replace. I understand that you developer guys, who know the lyx file structure and also sed or perl very well don't need that. But for the normal user it would be a great improvement. I didn't manage to replace z. B. with sed, because in the lyx file this expression is divided into two separate lines and I didn't find out how to use sed for such expressions. 3) Is there a way to start scripts which do changes on the lyx file from within lyx? Or is it always necessary to do it outside? I found something like that on Herberts homepage under Czech Typographie, but I didn't understand it. 4) If I close a box with Ctr-i the cursor should be placed behind the box. 5) Version Control is a great feature. It should be improved by 2 very common tasks: to check out a special version number, and to check in with a new version number (lets say 2.1 instad of 1.44). Of course you can do that outside, but you have to be very careful not to mess up everything. That's enough for the moment. Thank you for your work and thanks in advance for any comment.

Variable spacing
I'm working on my first serious LyX document: a paper that I'll be presenting next year at a professional society meeting. It has five major parts which I designated as *parts. But, when I view the postscript output, I see that the spacing between sections/subsctions varies, particularly toward the end of what I've written. Could this be related to my adding the headings for the rest of the paper before I've written them? That is, could LaTeX be formatting the vertical spacing of paragraphs and headings on the prior pages so they end at the bottom of the last page (before the outline)? Or, is this a problem where I need to hand-tune the leading? TIA, Rich Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.

cross-references between files
The extended features guide it is said: It is possible to set up cross-references between the different files. First, open all the files in question: let's call them A and B in a two file example, where B is included in A. Let's say you insert a label in A, then want to reference it in B. Switch to A, then select Insert->Cross-Reference. Now switch the document to B without closing the cross-reference popup. Insert the cross reference and you are done! When you preview file A, everything is properly included and labeled. If you accidentally close the popup, then reopen it while you are in B, you will only see B's labels. This whole procedure is perhaps a bit counterintuitive (it has even been called a bug), but it does work. I have tried this, but if I open the cross-reference popup in A and then I switch to B, the cross-reference popup does close automatically! How can I do? And is it possible to insert citation references too? My LyX version is 1.1.6 fix3, built from sources.

Now, whenever you open the insert reference dialog in chap1.lyx, you will get a list of all labels in all the files. 2. Got chap2.lyx, and insert the reference there.

Right justification?
Hi all, How can I right justify only a portion of a line of text? For instance, I want to do something like this: Boston Marathon 1984-Present Yet LyX doesn't seem to want to let me do that. Any ideas?

Prior to this release the gcc 2.96.?? that comes with RedHat won't compile it. In addition you need xforms. While it is not GPLed, there will be alternate GUIs (gtk, QT) in LyX 1.2.0 some time in the future. You can find xforms-0.89-5*rpms on ftp.lyx.org. Get the version under linux/elf and do a rpm -Uvh xforms* If you want to compile from source also get the source- and header-rpms and install them. Unpack lyx-1.1.6fix3.tar.gz and do an ./configure in the directory. It should tell you if there is anything missing. If not, do a make && make install strip, wait a couple minutes and everything should be fine. The installed programms should be in /usr/local/bin. Move them if that directory is not in your PATH. IIRC there is also an option in the configure-scipt (do a ./configure --help to see the options) Let me know, if you have any problem. Have fun, Michael

Or, you can use a "Date" layout paragraph and type a non-breaking space

Blatantly wishful feature request
I know the developers are working on lots of necessary stuff, but here's a feature that would be real nice if possible. It would be wonderful if LyX could have an "outline view" similar to MS Word, where you could move headings, *with their contained subheadings and body text*, or add headings or delete headings and their subheadings and body text (with adequate confirmation), or promote or demote heading trees. Klyx had most of this a few years ago, but unfortunately would not let you add headings. And of course Klyx has fallen behind... We all know a book is best designed as an outline before a single line of body text is written, but we also know that unfortunately some structural changes are required during the writing of the book, and those structural changes would be much easier if there were an "outline view".

I don't know that the MS Word model is a suitable one - I can think of older, better approaches to the same problem, but I too think this is fundamentally very useful, and might find some time to help in some way.

If I am not very mistaken, that this the most frequent answer in this

Some observations and suggestions
Hi all, I've been using lyx for about one and a half year now and I'm quite happy with it. Especially since I've changed to CJK-LyX and now am able to use Japanese and German in the same text with the cjk-latex package (although because of missing unicode support it is still not as convenient as it could be. By the way, is there still a project to include CJK-support into normal lyx?). Here some small observations, suggestions and/or questions coming from my personal every day experience: 1) I need ERT quite frequently. It would be cool to have a special box for latex code. I mean a box like the one for footnotes, which supports cut and paste and everything like normal text. Every text in this box should be automatically understood as red text, and if you close the box, your screen is clean (except of a small label). Of course that has nothing to do with functionality, it's just a way to hide ERT. 2) Find and Replace should be improved. It is very slow and it's fuctionality should be enhanced, in order to use special codes and ERT too. For example if I want to replace "z. B." by "z.\,B." (\, in red) it should be possible to do this with Find and Replace. I understand that you developer guys, who know the lyx file structure and also sed or perl very well don't need that. But for the normal user it would be a great improvement. I didn't manage to replace "z. B." with sed, because in the lyx file this expression is divided into two separate lines and I didn't find out how to use sed for such expressions. 3) Is there a way to start scripts which do changes on the lyx file from within lyx? Or is it always necessary to do it outside? I found something like that on Herberts homepage under "Czech Typographie", but I didn't understand it. 4) If I close a box with Ctr-i the cursor should be placed behind the box. 5) Version Control is a great feature. It should be improved by 2 very common tasks: to check out a special version number, and to check in with a new version number (lets say 2.1 instad of 1.44). Of course you can do that outside, but you have to be very careful not to mess up everything. That's enough for the moment. Thank you for your work and thanks in advance for any comment.

I m pretty sure some other versions of xforms I used earlier was showing a dependency on libforms.so.0.89. So it looks like xforms changed their architecture in between the releases. - These are the main points of my installation 1. I used lyx-1.1.6fix3-1.src.rpm and did a full build from the source 2. RedHat 7.1 3. I tried both src.rpm, rpm, and tar.gz formats for xforms. I m completely lost. I m also under tremendous pressure, since I m trying to convince my new employer that using lyx under linux ( as opposed to windows ) is much faster and easier ( printing etc ). Maybe if somebody who has got it working in RH 7.1 send me the xforms rpm. --sony >From: Michael Abshoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: Sony Antony <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: xforms problem with RH 7.1 ( for lyx ) >Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2001 19:49:16 +0200 (CEST) > > > >On Mon, 15 Oct 2001, Sony Antony wrote: > > > > > I ve been trying to make lyx work with Red Hat 7.1 ( 2.4 kernel ). > > I got the latest src.rpm.

Variable spacing
I'm working on my first serious LyX document: a paper that I'll be presenting next year at a professional society meeting. It has five major parts which I designated as "*parts". But, when I view the postscript output, I see that the spacing between sections/subsctions varies, particularly toward the end of what I've written. Could this be related to my adding the headings for the rest of the paper before I've written them? That is, could LaTeX be formatting the vertical spacing of paragraphs and headings on the prior pages so they end at the bottom of the last page (before the "outline")? Or, is this a problem where I need to hand-tune the leading? TIA, Rich Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.

Creating a new bib style
I just created a new bib style file use makebst.tex but I getting nothing but errors from within Lyx. I recall that you have to somehow register new bst files with tex. Is this true or am I just imagining things. I am having a terrible time getting this bibtex stuff to work on anything other than the original bst files. Unfortunately none of these in the standard installation get the job done. Kent Kostuk

There are some examples of LyX doing stuff that standard LaTeX doesnot. (The LyXlist, say). A possibility to implement something in that direction would be to let C-Enter (or maybe better just Enter) in a "normal" column insert a new line and place the cursor in the right column in this line. If also care was taken, to extend a possibly existing frame (i.e. if there is a bottom margin at the actual line, remove this and let the new inserted line have one), the result of pressing Enter would become pretty much like "a line break in a normal column!". I would this prefer much compared to the present "right-click, click on the table tab, click on insert-line, adjust margins" procedure. GM -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
