 it without renaming...

I think this shouldn't be necessary.  That faxing application is part of
a small logopedic business software i wrote back in 1997 for my wife - I

But a hint in the docs that lyx is searching for fax application named x

Spammed wiki pages

[chr]

Hi

For some weird reason I was only able to remove the spam from the 
following pages, but fix them properly:
* Site.GroupCategories
* Site.Navigation
* Site.PageList
* Site.SiteMap

I think the reason is some weird combination of the web server, my 
software and the packet size during transmission over ethernet connection.
(This is not related to the spam bit and I've encountered it before).

However, I am not able to fix these pages from my current location, so I'd 
like to ask someone else on this list to do it. Anyone (who doesn't suffer 
from my weird problem) should be able to do it. Pleaser remember that the 
password is now 'LyX' though).

The source of these pages can be found below, so it should just be a
simple matter of copypaste...

In the meant time, I placed the following text on these pages:

 Please see mail in the lyx-general list for restoring
 the information on this. Subject is: Spammed wiki pages

Below is the source of the pages.

Re: Indexing Suggestions

[Rich Shepard]

The advice I got from my publisher, was to keep few index entries (max 3)
per word.  If you see concept: 2,3,6,8,12-23, 45, 87-99, 202,204, 484 Are
you, as a reader, going to look all those places?
  Thanks, Helge. These are all excellent suggestions.
Yes, this is hard.  Consider asking your friendly publisher for help, if
you have one.  Or make a first revision of the index, at least for a few
chapters, and have some test readers trying to look up stuff.
  I asked my editor at Springer-Verlag. They don't have prepared indexing
guidelines (!) and they don't hire a professional indexer. It's all up to
me. :-) Guess that's the way publishing works today.
My first attempt at an index tried to use every feature of makeindex.  It
is a great way to learn the software, but the resulting index was no good.
Don't overdo things, in the same way as we don't try to use every
available font.
  My writing tends to be very concise. I've learned to remove the wordy
phrases and simplify. That's why my book is only 229 pages (minus index). So
the index will be equally lean. I've used too many poor ones over the years
so my focus will be on doing the very best I can at a new endeavor. I read
most of the makeindex chapter in TLC2 last evening; still have the bit about
xmindy to read.
  The only font change will be to use 8/10 in the index rather than the
10/12 in the text body. I'm sure it will be an intersting experience, but
your comments help a lot.

  I just read the paragraph in the Extended Help doc on making an index. 

  I also see there are about 40 pages in TLC2 on index creation. My 
question
is about procedures. I assume that first I go through the document within
LyX and mark all terms I find that I want to include.
Yes.
  Then I assume I need to manually work with the .tex file for subheadings,
see, see also and terms that are not actually in the text. Is this
correct?
No, terms like see can be entered directly in LyX's index dialog.
You can download the document
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LyX/LyXMathebefehle/LyXMathebefehle.lyx
as an example of an indexed LyX-file. It's in german, but as you only 
need the index entries.

  So, once terms are marked in the LyX document and LaTeX is run on that
file, all else is done on the .tex file in emacs. Yes?
You don't need to edit the TeX-file for indexing. LyX does run makeindex 
for you

LyX wiki now allows math using MimeTeX

[chr]

FYI, the LyX wiki now lets you write math (and other LaTeX expressions) 
using a plugin called
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MimeTeX

Simply put, writing {$x=y$} on a wiki page results in that equation being 
rendered as an image. So it's now possible to get rather complicated 
expressions displayed on the wiki.

Now go and play in the sandbox :-)

Re: PDF Generation - URL problem

[Paul Johnson]

I have had the too long URL problem in the past and was monitoring 
this thread. I changed Herbert's test file just slightly (attached), and 
I don't see any difference in the way the 2 urls are treated.  Both are 
broken correctly with pdflatex, but in the other pdf and xdvi output, 
they run off into the right margin and off the edge of the page.

I have the same problem with equations, and in that case I think I have 
no alternative but to break into lines manually.  But with URLs, where 
line placement is more unpredictable, I'm concerned.

it with pdflatex and everything will be as you expect.

LyX preview of pdf files

[Stephen Buonopane]

I am trying to make the switch from eps/ps graphics and 
latex-dvi-ps-pdf to pdf graphics and pdflatex. However, when I have 
a pdf figure which is less than a full page, the LyX display that I see 
shows the graphic as if it is in the bottom left corner of a full page, 
i.e. there is a lot of white space above it. The pdf file produced with 
pdflatex is just fine.

Is there any way to get the LyX display to correspond to the actual 
graphic image size? Is there something in the pdf file that the LyX 
displayer uses to decide how much of the page to show? The displayed 
image seems to depend  on which program I use to make the pdf file.

I am using LyX/Mac 1.3.5 on OSX 10.3.5

LyX wiki now allows math using MimeTeX

FYI, the LyX wiki now lets you write math (and other LaTeX expressions) 
using a plugin called

Simply put, writing {$x=y$} on a wiki page results in that equation being 
rendered as an image. So it's now possible to get rather complicated

Re: PDF Generation - URL problem

I have had the too long URL problem in the past and was monitoring 
this thread. I changed Herbert's test file just slightly (attached), and 
I don't see any difference in the way the 2 urls are treated.  Both are 
broken correctly with pdflatex, but in the other pdf and xdvi output, 
they run off into the right margin and off the edge of the page.

I have the same problem with equations, and in that case I think I have 
no alternative but to break into lines manually.  But with URLs, where 
line placement is more unpredictable, I'm concerned.

LyX preview of pdf files

[Stephen Buonopane]

I am trying to make the switch from eps/ps graphics and 
latex-dvi-ps-pdf to pdf graphics and pdflatex. However, when I have 
a pdf figure which is less than a full page, the LyX display that I see 
shows the graphic as if it is in the bottom left corner of a full page, 
i.e. there is a lot of white space above it. The pdf file produced with 
pdflatex is just fine.

Is there any way to get the LyX display to correspond to the actual 
graphic image size? Is there something in the pdf file that the LyX 
displayer uses to decide how much of the page to show? The displayed 
image seems to depend  on which program I use to make the pdf file.

I am using LyX/Mac 1.3.5 on OSX 10.3.5

I think this shouldn't be necessary.  That faxing application is part of
a small logopedic business software i wrote back in 1997 for my wife - I
doubt it is useful to anyone else.

But a hint in the docs that lyx is searching for fax application named x
and y and z would be nice.

Spammed wiki pages

[chr]

Hi

For some weird reason I was only able to remove the spam from the 
following pages, but fix them properly:
* Site.GroupCategories
* Site.Navigation
* Site.PageList
* Site.SiteMap

I think the reason is some weird combination of the web server, my 
software and the packet size during transmission over ethernet connection.
(This is not related to the spam bit and I've encountered it before).

However, I am not able to fix these pages from my current location, so I'd 
like to ask someone else on this list to do it. Anyone (who doesn't suffer 
from my weird problem) should be able to do it. Pleaser remember that the 
password is now 'LyX' though).

The source of these pages can be found below, so it "should" just be a
simple matter of copy

In the meant time, I placed the following text on these pages:

 Please see mail in the lyx-general list for restoring
 the information on this. Subject is: "Spammed wiki pages"

Below is the source of the pages.

regards

/Christian

--- Site.GroupCategories
!!Group categories

Every page of this wiki belongs to a PmWiki/WikiGroup. To simplify 
navigation, the groups are partitioned into categories and they are listed 
in the section '''Group categories''' in the Site/{{Sidebar}}.

The current category is indicated by the symbol '', and the 
categories are as follows:
:LyX:Groups about (or related to) LyX, such as how to use it, tips, 
examples, etc.
:[[Site/{{Site}} This site]]:Groups about this wiki-site, such as how it 
is organized, how to edit pages, upload attachments etc.
:[[Devel/{{Devel}} Development]]:Groups about the development of LyX, i.e. 
mainly for the developers.













- Site.Navigation
!!Finding your way around this site

You are looking at a ''page'' in the LyX wiki-wiki (the name of this
page is [[ThisGroup:Navigation Navigation]]). Every page belongs to a
PmWiki/WikiGroup (this page belongs to the group {{Site}}), and the
groups are used to keep related pages together (e.g., the group
{{FAQ}} contains pages with frequently asked questions about LyX).

!!![[#menus]]Menus
On the left side of this window, you can see the following menus:
* {{Navigation}}  contains the following navigation related links:
** LyX/{{Welcome}}  the ''homepage'' of this site (LyX.{{Welcome}})
** [[SiteMap Overview of site]]  the site map (Site.SiteMap)
** [[GroupMap Map of ]]  an overview of the 
current category (GroupMap).
** [[PageList List of pages in ]]  pages in the 
current group (PageList)
*'''Group categories'''  contains links to the primary group in 
each of the three categories of groups, see [[ThisPage:#categories group 
categories]] below.
*'''Groups'''  contains links to the ''homepages'' of the different 
groups in the current category of groups. This menu is different for each 
category of groups.
*'''Links'''  contains useful links, mostly to web-pages outside 
this site.

!!![[#trails]]Page trails
There is often a ''PmWiki/{{WikiTrail|s}}'' at the top of each page,
and on this page it looks like this:
::<<|PageList|>> )

The trail consists of three links, where the left (right) link moves
you to the previous (next) page in a series of pages that is defined
on the page that you get to by clicking on the middle link.

!!![[#categories]]Group categories
To simplify navigation, the groups are partitioned into the follwing
categories:

:LyX:Groups about (or related to) LyX, such as how to use it, tips, 
examples, etc.
:[[Site/{{Site}} This site]]:Groups about this wiki-site, such as how it
