Insert \linebreak{} in ERT (and do _not_ press return afterwards, because you
get an additional paragraph break then).
If not, I hope the developers can introduce this very useful function.
File an enhancement report on bugzilla, please, if it doesn't exist yet.

Re: LyX slow in Windows XP

Yes. Acrobat is a lousy pdf reader - it don't handle bitmap fonts very
well.
Simple solution - use other pdf readers.
If you need acrobat, make sure you don't use a bitmap font.
The default font in lyx is computer modern, and it comes
out as a bitmap font. Selecting almost any other font in
document settings should do the trick.
Or \usepackage{lmodern} in the preamble, if you want to
have a nice computer modern font. Obviously you need to
have this package.

Insert-URL... uses the url.sty package, with which I'm not familiar.
The way I do it is as follows:

the hyperref package if you don't already have it).
2. In the document, type \href{mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Name} either with

insets, the first one ending with an opening brace and the second

My Name accessible for easy editing, spell checking etc., but either
approach should work.

Also, what does Console.app say when you try typesetting? Does the LaTeX log (Documents LaTeX Log) reveal anything? As I tried to explain, the images just don't SHOW in the LyX program screen, even tho Show in LyX is checked in the image dialog box. Some images show in LyX, others (PS and PDF format) do not. We get Error converting to loadable format but just on her macbook. As to typesetting if you mean does the PDF generate, yes, we do not have trouble there at all. Images display, the PDF is fine. Since that is no trouble I'm not sure examining the LaTeX log will help. I looked in there, see lots of output, not sure what I'm looking for. Is this resolved?

Numbering depths of more than 3 levels are almost always a bad idea. I hope
you know what you are doing.
If so, have a look at
Dokument-Einstellungen-Nummerierungen und Inhaltsverzeichnis. Put the slider
for numbering (and, if desired, for TOC) to the very right, so that numbering
for Paragraph and Subparagraph is on.
Now you can use Paragraph and Subparagraph for your purpose.
You need to redefine the two environments to get a line break after the
heading. For KOMA, put this into the preamble:

{-3.25ex [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perhaps. The url.sty package isn't intended for the sort of use for which you are trying to use it. Its purpose is to allow you to use URLs in a document without running into line-break problems, the issue being that URLs can be (i) long and (ii) spaceless. Indeed, the documentation describes the \url command as simply a special form of \verb. So, all of that said, hyperref is indeed what you need here and, at present, LyX has no special support for it.

When I use Label Reference, it kinda works, but inserts a number at the reference. I want the text to be the link. I can do this using the hyperref module. So am I not understanding something? Perhaps. The url.sty package isn't intended for the sort of use for which you are trying to use it. Its purpose is to allow you to use URLs in a document without running into line-break problems, the issue being that URLs can be (i) long and (ii) spaceless. Indeed, the documentation describes the \url command as simply a special form of \verb. So, all of that said, hyperref is indeed what you need here and, at present, LyX has no special support for it. I've posted an enhancement request, see http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2919 about external hyperlinks, I did not comment about internal targets, which should work. I've suggested to use the Generate hyperlink button, which is local to the link, but maybe I should have mentioned the possibility of a general setting: as the printed version requires the url to be there, users would like to have it all with url printed, or all with anchors. Personnaly, I use html2latex, which allows to have the url in footnote when printed and under an anchor in HTML, but I guess this can't really be interfaced in LyX. As for turning typographical croos-referencing automatically into internal target referencing, currenly nothing exists to describe the anchor (unless prettyref does it ? never used it myself). -- Jean-Pierre

I'm the wrong person to express an opinion on this; about the only time I use links is inside Beamer presentations, and since Beamer loads hyperref automatically (I think), I always use hyperref and never use url. That said, I'm inclined to believe that support for hyperref would be more useful than support for url. The hyperref package has an option 'breaklinks' (which I confess I've never used) that would seem to allow links to split across lines. It's not as flexible as what url can do, but maybe it's good enough? So if there are people who really prefer hyperref to url, I'd suggest entering an enhancement request in bugzilla to get menu support for it. /Paul

Also, what does Console.app say when you try typesetting? Does the LaTeX log (Documents LaTeX Log) reveal anything? As I tried to explain, the images just don't SHOW in the LyX program screen, even tho Show in LyX is checked in the image dialog box. Some images show in LyX, others (PS and PDF format) do not.

Since that is no trouble I'm not sure examining the LaTeX log will help. I looked in there, see lots of output, not sure what I'm looking for. Is this resolved? Well, in a way. My colleague's macbook died before we could try out the suggested fixes.

Float Object: Figure and its Description (Legend) on different pages ?
Hello, I have the following problem: I write a term paper in Lyx 1.4.3. (koma-script article class) and I have a very large figure to include. In fact it is so large that its legend does not fit on the same page. So I would like to have the legend on the bottom of one page and the figure on the next as it is sometimes done with large figures in scientific journals. How can I achieve this? I can not insert a pagebreak in the legend within the float object as this will result in a latex error upon pdf generation. If I do it without a break the pdf looks not right; the image and its legend are out of boundaries and are laid over the page number. Is there some easy way to do it, maybe using ERT? thank you a lot Stefan
Help Creating a Wiki Howto for Japanese
Hi, I was tinkering around tonight on my Windows installation of LyX 1.4.3 (not CJK) and I figured out how to make it output Japanese text. This might be a really dumb question but I can't really find any good information on the wiki page on how to make new pages - I only know how to edit old ones. I also have no clue how the upload thing works in case I want to upload a screenshot. Sorry about these dumb questions but I think it would be helpful for people using Japanese on a non CJK LyX.

How ERT are displayed
Can I adjust how these entries are displayed? The font size is huge.
Re: How ERT are displayed
ERTs are rendered in the same font size than the line they are embedded into. Hence, if you add an ERT to e.g. the title of an article the font is huge. ERTs in the main text are a lot more readable. I would, however, also prefer to have a fixed font size for all ERTs Daniel 2006/10/18, Timothy Reaves [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Can I adjust how these entries are displayed? The font size is huge.

And I must say, I do like LyX very much. It's a bit ugly to see the ERT stuff directly in the document, when LyX otherwise does such a nice job. There is one place where url.sty might outshine hyperref, at least for some people. If you poke into the arcana of url.sty, I believe that you can exert a fair amount of influence over where a long URL gets broken. I'm not sure how hyperref makes that decision, but I couldn't find any relevant hyperref parameters other than the on/off switch for line-breaking. I know that some people are (justifiably) finicky about breaking URLs at natural break points (for instance, at a path separator) rather than willy-nilly. That said, the current support for url.sty in LyX doesn't facilitate changing the line-breaking parameters anyway (meaning you'll need to use ERT, and you'll need a deeper understanding of the package than just the text goes here, the URL goes there), so I still think the greater good for the greater number is to support hyperref and relegate url.sty to ERT. Plus supporting hyperref would give some lucky developer a chance to write a configuration dialog with several thousand options. :-) /Paul

The legend should in every case be behind the image. But anyway, a float is a box that normally can't be splitted. You can either decrease the image size a bit by setting its width for example to only 90 page%. A more complicated solution is to have the image in a separate float without a legend and a float that contains only the legend. Set for this second float the placement top so that it appears on top of a new page behind the image. The problem of the two-float solution is that yo have to adjust the float placement manually when you changed the text of the section where the floats are in. regards Uwe

Yes. Acrobat is a lousy pdf reader - it don't handle bitmap fonts very
well.
Simple solution - use other pdf readers.
If you need acrobat, make sure you don't use a bitmap font.
The default font in lyx is computer modern, and it comes
out as a bitmap font. Selecting almost any other font in
document settings should do the trick.
Or \usepackage{lmodern} in the preamble, if you want to
have a nice computer modern font. Obviously you need to
have this package.

Insert-URL... uses the url.sty package, with which I'm not familiar.
The way I do it is as follows:
1. In the preamble, add \usepackage{hyperref} (and, of course, install
the hyperref package if you don't already have it).
2. In the document, type \href{mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Name} either with
everything in ERT or with everything except My Name in ERT (so two ERT
insets, the first one ending with an opening brace and the second
containing just a closing brace). I prefer the latter, since it leaves
My Name accessible for easy editing, spell checking etc., but either
approach should work.

Yes, that is what I had done as well. But this makes me think that the

cross references as well.
I want to have arbitrary links in my document. So for example, I might
have somewhere in my document 'see the section on blah', and blah would
be linked to that section. When I use Label Reference, it kinda
works, but inserts a number at the reference. I want the text to be the
link. I can do this using the hyperref module.
So am I not understanding something?

Numbering depths of more than 3 levels are almost always a bad idea. I hope
you know what you are doing.
If so, have a look at
Dokument-Einstellungen-Nummerierungen und Inhaltsverzeichnis. Put the slider
for numbering (and, if desired, for TOC) to the very right, so that numbering
for Paragraph and Subparagraph is on.
Now you can use Paragraph and Subparagraph for your purpose.
You need to redefine the two environments to get a line break after the
heading. For KOMA, put this into the preamble:

{-3.25ex [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've suggested to use the Generate hyperlink button, which is local to the link, but maybe I should have mentioned the possibility of a general setting: as the printed version requires the url to be there, users would like to have it all with url printed, or all with anchors. Personnaly, I use html2latex, which allows to have the url in footnote when printed and under an anchor in HTML, but I guess this can't really be interfaced in LyX. As for turning typographical croos-referencing automatically into internal target referencing, currenly nothing exists to describe the anchor (unless prettyref does it ? never used it myself). -- Jean-Pierre

That said, I'm inclined to believe that support for hyperref would be more useful than support for url. The hyperref package has an option 'breaklinks' (which I confess I've never used) that would seem to allow links to split across lines. It's not as flexible as what url can do, but maybe it's good enough?

We get Error converting to loadable format but just on her macbook. As to typesetting if you mean does the PDF generate, yes, we do not have trouble there at all. Images display, the PDF is fine. Since that is no trouble I'm not sure examining the LaTeX log will help. I looked in there, see lots of output, not sure what I'm looking for. Is this resolved? Well, in a way. My colleague's macbook died before we could try out the suggested fixes. I've been waiting for it to be fixed, but when it could not be fixed (and it was just over 30 days old), she was given a new one and she has no problems with LyX with that one. She believes now that perhaps imagemagic was not installed properly. Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions! You are all a great resource. Sue Kientz
Float Object: Figure and its Description (Legend) on different pages ?
Hello, I have the following problem: I write a term paper in Lyx 1.4.3. (koma-script article class) and I have a very large figure to include. In fact it is so large that its legend does not fit on the same page. So I would like to have the legend on the bottom of one page and the figure on the next as it is sometimes done with large figures in scientific journals. How can I achieve this? I can not insert a pagebreak in the legend within the float object as this will result in a latex error upon pdf generation. If I do it without a break the pdf looks not right; the image and its legend are out of boundaries and are laid over the page number. Is there some easy way to do it, maybe using ERT? thank you a lot Stefan
Help Creating a Wiki Howto for Japanese
Hi, I was tinkering around tonight on my Windows installation of LyX 1.4.3 (not CJK) and I figured out how to make it output Japanese text. This might be a really dumb question but I can't really find any good information on the wiki page on how to make new pages - I only know how to edit old ones. I also have no clue how the upload thing works in case I want to upload a screenshot. Sorry about these dumb questions but I think it would be helpful for people using Japanese on a non CJK LyX. Thanks.

Then simply click on the question mark ? after the link that you just created. Links can be created by simply writing the name of a (new) page within double square brackes, e.g. [[Welcome]] results in Welcome which is simply a link to this page. Similarly, [[some new page]] results in some new page?, where clicking on the question mark allows you to create and edit it. Another way to create a new page is to simply enter the URI of the page. You will then be offered to create it. cheers /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
How ERT are displayed
Can I adjust how these entries are displayed? The font size is huge.
Re: How ERT are displayed
ERTs are rendered in the same font size than the line they are embedded into. Hence, if you add an ERT to e.g. the title of an article the font is huge. ERTs in the main text are a lot more readable. I would, however, also prefer to have a fixed font size for all ERTs Daniel 2006/10/18, Timothy Reaves [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Can I adjust how these entries are displayed? The font size is huge.

And I must say, I do like LyX very much. It's a bit ugly to see the ERT stuff directly in the document, when LyX otherwise does such a nice job. There is one place where url.sty might outshine hyperref, at least for some people. If you poke into the arcana of url.sty, I believe that you can exert a fair amount of influence over where a long URL gets broken. I'm not sure how hyperref makes that decision, but I couldn't find any relevant hyperref parameters other than the on/off switch for line-breaking. I know that some people are (justifiably) finicky about breaking URLs at natural break points (for instance, at a path separator) rather than willy-nilly. That said, the current support for url.sty in LyX doesn't facilitate changing the line-breaking parameters anyway (meaning you'll need to use ERT, and you'll need a deeper understanding of the package than just the text goes here, the URL goes there), so I still think the greater good for the greater number is to support hyperref and relegate url.sty to ERT. Plus supporting hyperref would give some lucky developer a chance to write a configuration dialog with several thousand options. :-) /Paul

Re: aspell problem installing spanish spellcheck
Juan Carlos Reyes schrieb: I have Lyx for windows xp version 1.4.2 all ready installed and working fine. Aspell 0.50-3 is also installed.

I have the aspell.es 0.60 installed in the c:/Aspell directory, but I cant get to setup this dictionary as the default one for spanish text. Note that LyX 1.4.x uses Aspell 0.60 and not the old version 0.50. To have a correct setup I recommend to: 1. uninstall your aspell versions 2. reinstall LyX using the latest version 1.4.3, for example using this installer: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=11320 (http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller) This should fix your problems. regards Uwe

You could reinstall LyX using this installer: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=11320 (http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller) because this comes with the latest Imagemagick version. !

So I would like to have the legend on the bottom of one page and the figure on the next as it is sometimes done with large figures in scientific journals. The legend should in every case be behind the image. But anyway, a float is a box that normally can't be splitted. You can either decrease the image size a bit by setting its width for example to only 90 page%. A more complicated solution is to have the image in a separate float without a legend and a float that contains only the legend. Set for this second float the placement top so that it appears on top of a new page behind the image. The problem of the two-float solution is that yo have to adjust the float placement manually when you changed the text of the section where the floats are in. regards Uwe

I have the manual sitting on my desktop. When I feebly attempted to use it as a reference, I was reminded of my experience as a beginning medical student. I subscribed to three medical journals, and read each issue word-for-word, for a year. At the end of the year, I had become comfortable with a sizable medical vocabulary. However, during the course of the year, I was mostly overwhelmed with the volume of words and terms and phrases that were totally foreign to me. Which brings me to one of my hot buttons. Why in the world would a manual whose purpose is to assist new students to a subject, choose to display itself as a billboard? What possible advantage can there be to lock up the information in the .pdf file format, so that it cannot be utilized by others, other than to read it page by page? Why not put it in a format that permits others to utilize text search and source views to try and understand the information? No answer is expected. Just needed to rant a little. Tom
Greek characters
Hello all. This is slightly off topic. In fact, it works in LyX, not outside... When editing a document in LyX, greek characters like mu and delta show correctly in xpdf... When I download a datasheet, from the net, all greek characters are missing. Anyone know why? Eg. the datasheet on this page: http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/12078/ONSEMI/MC34166.html near the center of the first page: Standby Mode Reduces Power Supply Current to 36 µA the mu is missing in xpdf I have the 'greek' package for xpdf installed.

Help with Table of Contents
I'm using the book document class. It seems that chapters are the only high level entity to be included into a ToC, and it seems Chapters and Sections are the high level classes for the document. This seems - well, not odd so much as plain wrong. Most books I have would include things like the Index, List of Figures, and even the ToC in the ToC. Also, they support other high level, non-numbered entities, such as appendices, glossaries, etc. So am I using the wrong document class, or is it really that limited?

I've posted an enhancement request, see http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2919 about external hyperlinks, I did not comment about internal targets, which should work. I've suggested to use the Generate hyperlink button, which is local to the link, but maybe I should have mentioned the possibility of a general setting: as the printed version requires the url to be there, users would like to have it all with url printed, or all with anchors. Personnaly, I use html2latex, which allows to have the url in footnote when printed and under an anchor in HTML, but I guess this can't really be interfaced in LyX. As for turning typographical croos-referencing automatically into internal target referencing, currenly nothing exists to describe the anchor (unless prettyref does it ? never used it myself). -- Jean-Pierre
