Find Replace with ERT insets
Hi! LyX (v1.5.5) is able to find a certain text string inside an ERT inset. However, the automatic replacement feature does not seem to work. Is this a bug or the intended behavior? If the second case applies, what is the reason for such behavior? Thanks! Nicolás

URL handling in 1.6
I finally managed to install a testversion of 1.6 (thanks to Sven's debian
package).
First experiments revealed a strange behaviour regarding URLs.
Two for one
---
There are 2 insets for URLs in the Insert menu:
URL, resulting in \url{http://example.org/}
and
Link, resulting in \href{http://example.org}{http://example.org}
in the LaTeX source. Both look and behave identical in the PDF output
(with default settings).
Are two separate URL insets needed or could URL be made a special case of
a hyperlink?
Display
---
The URL inset is either non-informative (just showing a blue [URL]) or overly
verbose (showing [URL][http://example.org]). I'd prefer it to have it
displaying the start of the content (similar to the LaTeX (ERT) inset) if
closed and no URL label if open. The status line tells me it is an URL if
in daubt.
The Hyperlink inset is always closed (Ctrl-I pops up a dialogue) and has
a very very long [Hyperlink] label in front of the URI.
Is there a way to configure the display properties of URL insets?
Edit
* I can dissolve an URL by the usual backspace at the first position
but not via right-click (Dissolve Inset is greyed out for some
reason).
* I can not dissolve a Hyperlink inset, only copy and paste its content
into another place.
* Search/Replace finds example in the URL inset but not in the
Hyperlink inset.

If you want to find out where in your document the problematic part is, you can make a copy and cut/delete parts of it until it compiles. Alternatively, you can mark a part of the text and put it in a LyX note. LyX notes are not exported, so the effect is almost the same but it is easier to restore the content (press [Backspace] when the cursor is at the first positon inside the note). There is a slight chance of failure when LyX inserts some code into the document (preamble, say) depending on the document content. I had this problem with a document containg text parts in the languages greek and polutonikogreek. The resulting LaTeX error did not disappear after putting the polutonikogreek part in a note as LyX did still insert both language options in the document header. Günter

Not quite. The problem with \cmidrule is its non-standard syntax.
If the command had used only brackets [] and braces {}, the solution
would be simple. In order to obtain what the OP wants, a hack must be used.
First of all, put in the preamble of the .tex file the following line:
\def\ERT#1{#1}
then, surround each \cmidrule command that you want to import as a
single ERT, with \ERT{your command here}, just as in your example above.
Now, use a text editor and create a file named as you like, for example
syntax.extra, and put in there the following line:
\ERT{}
Having done that, run LyX, go to Tools-Preferences-Converters and
select the LaTeX (plain) - LyX converter. Change the line that reads
tex2lyx -f $$i $$o into tex2lyx -s path/syntax.extra -f $$i $$o
(where path is the full path to the syntax.extra file), hit the Modify
button and then Apply (or Save, for a permanent change).
Now use the menu File-Import-LaTeX (plain) and select the .tex file
you want to import. All your \ERT{whatever} commands will be imported
as a single ERT. Note that you don't have to take away the surrounding
\ERT{} in LyX, as it will work as expected.

Re: Problem inner and outer margins
Hi Adi, Offhand, no, I don't know the default settings. It'll be around somewhere, but that doesn't help you grin. The reason I suggested speaking with the publisher is that they should be able to inform you concerning good margin sizes. The correct answer depends on a number of factors, including text (point) size, paper size, number of pages (creep) and the style of binding (perfect, burst, ring, etc).

Using Sweave for R code in LyX on Windows

I followed Gregor's installation instructions from the Rnews article to the letter. The only thing extra for me was making sure that R was in the PATH. To do that, go Start - Control Panel - System - Advanced - Environment Variables, and then scroll in the list for the Path variable to edit. In my case, it sufficed to append C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.7.0\bin to the list, but (of course) the location where R is stored depends on the user. With that small change everything worked fine. Please note that - coincidentally - I had already installed Cygwin on my system for other reasons; that may have helped with the relative ease that I had with the configuration.

First of all, put in the preamble of the .tex file the following line:

then, surround each \cmidrule command that you want to import as a

Now, use a text editor and create a file named as you like, for example
syntax.extra, and put in there the following line:

Having done that, run LyX, go to Tools-Preferences-Converters and
select the LaTeX (plain) - LyX converter. Change the line that reads

This could be e.g. a math-only character outside math (or vice versa) that
triggers a math-toggle ("inserted $") in TeX's error handling.
As "toggle" implies, after that math is seen as text and text as math which
leads to a mass of follow-up errors.
There are several such scenarios where a single "wrong" character can
disturb the TeX engine and lead to scores of errors. And this character
might have been input unadvertedly (e.g. while thinking that the focus is in

This is

However, as you have "complete control", you could consider exporting
CSV tables and using the CSV importer to convert them to lyx or
generate LyX code right away.

URL handling in 1.6
I finally managed to install a testversion of 1.6 (thanks to Sven's debian
package).
First experiments revealed a strange behaviour regarding URLs.
Two for one
---
There are 2 insets for URLs in the Insert menu:
URL, resulting in \url{http://example.org/}
and
Link, resulting in \href{http://example.org}{http://example.org}
in the LaTeX source. Both look and behave identical in the PDF output
(with default settings).
Are two separate URL insets needed or could URL be made a special case of
a hyperlink?
Display
---
The URL inset is either non-informative (just showing a blue [URL]) or overly
verbose (showing [URL][http://example.org]). I'd prefer it to have it
displaying the start of the content (similar to the LaTeX (ERT) inset) if
closed and no URL label if open. The status line tells me it is an URL if
in daubt.
The Hyperlink inset is always closed (Ctrl-I pops up a dialogue) and has
a very very long [Hyperlink] label in front of the URI.
Is there a way to configure the display properties of URL insets?
Edit
* I can dissolve an URL by the usual "backspace at the first position"
but not via right-click ("Dissolve Inset" is greyed out for some
reason).
* I can not dissolve a Hyperlink inset, only copy and paste its content
into another place.
* Search/Replace finds "example" in the URL inset but not in the
Hyperlink inset.
Conversion
--
URLs from a document created with LyX 1.5.5 are transformed to URL insets in
1.6.3.
However re-export as LyX 1.5 file transforms
Hyperlinks to URLs (Fine)
and
URLs to unmarked boxes (transformed to plain text http://example.org/ in
the LaTeX source) (Bad)
Why is a 1.6 URL inset not converted to a 1.5 URL inset?
Should 1.5 URLs be rather converted to 1.6 Hyperlinks?

Re: Problem inner and outer margins
Thank you .. Nigel Is that possible to know all the margin default values of the "book" class. If I know the values of the default inner and outer margins, I can just swap the values without disturbing the width of the text, and the manuscript does not change, only its side margins. ( I am sorry, probably it is a simple question.. I am a beginner in LyX/LaTeX) Adi --- On Wed, 25/6/08, Nigel Pegram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Nigel Pegram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Problem inner and outer margins To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Received: Wednesday, 25 June, 2008, 6:23 AM Ask your publisher for the required margins and then uncheck the default margin setting and enter the values directly.

Re: Problem inner and outer margins
Hi Adi, Offhand, no, I don't know the default settings. It'll be around somewhere, but that doesn't help you . The reason I suggested speaking with the publisher is that they should be able to inform you concerning good margin sizes. The correct answer depends on a number of factors, including text (point) size, paper size, number of pages (creep) and the style of binding (perfect, burst, ring, etc). If they can't/won't help you, you could aways print a sample page from lyx and take the measurements from that. HTH Nigel On 25/06/2008, Waluyo Adi Siswanto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank you ..

This is so that when the book is opened out, the whitespace outside columns of text appears equal. If you look at published books you will see that this is so. Of course the type of binding can affect how well that book can open out and this may mean that the inner margins need to compensate for this by being increased a little. But the visible width of the two inner margins should still look equal to one outer margin John O'Gorman > > HTH > Nigel > > On 25/06/2008, Waluyo Adi Siswanto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thank you ..

Using Sweave for R code in LyX on Windows

Perhaps we can add >to the LyX wiki page about Sweave to bring in the Windows side of things. > >- >David Hewitt >Research Fishery Biologist >USGS Klamath Falls Field Station (USA) Check out the following recent post by Gregor on using LyX with Sweave on MS-Windows: http://ggorjan.blogspot.com/2008/06/using-sweave-with-lyx-on-ms-windows.html I just updated to LyX 1.5.5 on my Windows XP laptop. I followed Gregor's installation instructions from the Rnews article to the letter. The only thing extra for me was making sure that R was in the PATH. To do that, go Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables, and then scroll in the list for the Path variable to edit. In my case, it sufficed to append C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.7.0\bin to the list, but (of course) the location where R is stored depends on the user. With that small change everything worked fine. Please note that - coincidentally - I had already installed Cygwin on my system for other reasons; that may have helped with the relative ease that I had with the configuration. I have copied Gregor to this email. Perhaps we can combine our experiences with the above mentioned post and add some material to the LyX wiki for other users. Best, Jay *** G.
