nomenclature not printed with 1.5.6

Does it work without LyX (using latex only)?
If not, you may have to compile the package?
From
http://wundt.uni-graz.at/hockemeyer/l2short/english/lshort-node70.html
Packages such as geometry, hyphenat, and many others are typically made
up of two files: a file with the extension .ins and another with the
extension .dtx. There will often be a readme.txt with a brief
description of the package. You should of course read this file first.
In any event, once you have copied the package files onto your machine,
you still have to process them in a way that (a) tells your TEX
distribution about the new style package and (b) gives you the
documentation. Here's how you do the first part:
1. Run LATEX on the .ins file. This will extract a .sty file.
2. Move the .sty file to a place where your distribution can find
it.
3. Refresh your distribution's file-name database.
Now you can extract the documentation from the .dtx file:
1. Run LATEX on the .dtx file. This will generate a .dvi file. Note
that you may have to run LATEX several times before it gets the
cross-references right.
2. Check to see if LATEX has produced a .idx file among the various
files you now have. If you do not see this file, then you may proceed to
step 5.
3. In order to generate the index, type the following:
\fbox{\texttt{makeindex -s gind.ist \textit{name}}}
(where name stands for the main-file name without any extension).
4. Run LATEX on the .dtx file once again.
5. Last but not least, make a .ps or .pdf file to increase your
reading pleasure.
Sometimes you will see that a .glo (glossary) file has been produced.
Run the following command between step 4 and 5:
makeindex -s gglo.ist -o name.gls name.glo
Be sure to run LATEX on the .dtx one last time before moving on to step 5.
HTH,
Konrad

I've seen similar things on Linux, with some programs and not others. Selection handling is more complex than I would have supposed, and sometimes different programs handle it in incompatible ways. The workaround is to use some other program as an intermediary. So e.g. if I want to paste from Thunderbird to LyX, I first paste it into kedit (a text editor), then recopy it and paste it into LyX. rh

The date is supposed to be the publication date. So it depends upon exactly what sort of reprinting it is. If it's JUST a reprinting, then the original date will usually be appropriate; if it's more than that, then the later one. Generally, I tend to look at the copyright date and use that, and then you can add a note, as Rich suggested, if that seems appropriate. In the case you've mentioned, one would suppose there will have been substantial editing and such. So one would put 1976, to identify that particular edition. rh

1.6.0 rc1 very minor bug in screen

1.6.0 rc1 minor and strange bug
Hello, I picked extra and preview tool bars and drag to the right side of the screen. I put a tool bar at the top of the right border and then, the next tool bar below at the end of the first one. When I stop Lyx and then run it, second tool bar was go down. With each cycle of close and run, second tool bar go more down and disappears from view.

Re: Can't bind lyx function to certain keys
I'm trying to set up my keybindings so that when I enter a greek character, it inserts the greek character in math mode. I have my keyboard set up (with xmodmap) so that pressing Mode_switch-a generates Greek_alpha, Mode_switch-b generates Greek_beta, and so on. Then in my lyx keybindings file I have a bunch of lines like: \bind Greek_alpha math-insert \alpha \bind Greek_beta math-insert \beta ... For some reason though, these bindings get ignored, and just the regular greek letters get input (i.e. if I look at the source with view-view source, I see the actual greek characters, instead of \alpha, \beta, etc. commands). Then if I try to export to dvi or pdf, I get a warnig about some characters not being representable in the chosen encoding. I also tried binding other functions to the greek letters, just to test, but the bindings are always ignored. Does anyone know what might be going wrong? Thanks. you must bind to single character (usually combined with alt/ctrl/shift). you can instead of Greek_alpha generate some special _single_ character and this bind to math-insert \alpha. iirc direct using of unicode greek characters should be possible without the need of entering math mode (but maybe 1.6 thing, can't remember now). pavel

Daan Stolp wrote:

Does it work without LyX (using latex only)?
If not, you may have to compile the package?
From
http://wundt.uni-graz.at/hockemeyer/l2short/english/lshort-node70.html
Packages such as geometry, hyphenat, and many others are typically made
up of two files: a file with the extension .ins and another with the
extension .dtx. There will often be a readme.txt with a brief
description of the package. You should of course read this file first.
In any event, once you have copied the package files onto your machine,
you still have to process them in a way that (a) tells your TEX
distribution about the new style package and (b) gives you the
documentation. Here's how you do the first part:
1. Run LATEX on the .ins file. This will extract a .sty file.
2. Move the .sty file to a place where your distribution can find
it.
3. Refresh your distribution's file-name database.
Now you can extract the documentation from the .dtx file:
1. Run LATEX on the .dtx file. This will generate a .dvi file. Note
that you may have to run LATEX several times before it gets the
cross-references right.
2. Check to see if LATEX has produced a .idx file among the various
files you now have. If you do not see this file, then you may proceed to
step 5.
3. In order to generate the index, type the following:
\fbox{\texttt{makeindex -s gind.ist \textit{name}}}
(where name stands for the main-file name without any extension).
4. Run LATEX on the .dtx file once again.
5. Last but not least, make a .ps or .pdf file to increase your
reading pleasure.
Sometimes you will see that a .glo (glossary) file has been produced.
Run the following command between step 4 and 5:
makeindex -s gglo.ist -o name.gls name.glo
Be sure to run LATEX on the .dtx one last time before moving on to step 5.
HTH,
Konrad

If it's JUST a reprinting, then the original date will usually be appropriate; if it's more than that, then the later one. Generally, I tend to look at the copyright date and use that, and then you can add a note, as Rich suggested, if that seems appropriate. In the case you've mentioned, one would suppose there will have been substantial editing and such. So one would put 1976, to identify that particular edition. rh

The only thing I'd have done differently would have been to put a bit more emphasis on the new math macro implementation. It solves truckloads of old problems, such as: If you had an included document that contained nothing but your favorite macros, you had to load it before loading any document that included it to get LyX to recognize the macros. That kind of thing. rh

Re: Installing pgfplots on the Mac

I would like to try out pgfplots and it would not appear to have been installed as part of the mactex download that I installed before installing Lyx. Neither Lyx nor Texshop can find it. I have been trying to work out how to install it (previously I have used MikTex on windows and this tends to be straightforward). But I cannot find a directory for Mactex. I have found a texmf directory, but it doesn't seem to have very much in it. So can someone point me towards some help, or indeed if its simple, tell me here.

Hi! Thanks a lot, Bob. You wrote: This doesn't have to do with qt4. For some reason, the lyx2lyx program is apparently not being copied to its installed location. I'd have a look at /usr/local/share/lyx and see what you have there. Is something preventing the copy? Actually after the installation failure, there is no lyx directory left in the /usr/local/share. The other thing that strikes me is the fact that you have a space in the path to the sources My Downloads. It's possible that make is choking on that.

You are running 'make install' as root right? Or in Ubuntu, I guess that would be 'sudo make install'. Actually, it is me who has failed to mention that I was making a root install. Your comment is not stupid at all, Bob. Anyhow thanks a lot for your kind help. with all regards Ven. Pandita
1.6.0 rc1 very minor bug in screen
Hello, When I start lyx with a file with: 1) Paragraph with NO indentation. 2) At the start of this paragraph I have an ERT, like a lettrine command. Then Lyx show text of ERT command superposed over text of paragraph. If I press Pg Dwn, other paragraph with same error are showed. Then, if I press Pg Up, paragraph are correctly showed. Regards.

1.6.0 rc1 minor and strange bug
Hello, I picked extra and preview tool bars and drag to the right side of the screen. I put a tool bar at the top of the right border and then, the next tool bar below at the end of the first one. When I stop Lyx and then run it, second tool bar was go down. With each cycle of close and run, second tool bar go more down and disappears from view. I think that Lyx Team must improve grip of this area. I don´t know nothing about software but.. perhaps with a change of the rubber compound or installing a piece of Velcro... ;-) Regards Marcelo Marcelo Acuña visitá mi sitio web http://www.aleph-uno.com.ar == Yahoo!

Re: A problem with margins
Hi, I'm working with the book class in KOMA-Script, and am trying to change the page layout without success. When I insert BCOR and/or DIV factors, I don't get an error message, but I also don't see any difference in the resultant PDF. I checked the LaTeX log, and I see that the changes I input appear in the log but still... No visible effect. Excuse me, a question: do you printed the work on paper or only see it in screen?

Re: Can't paste into lyx
I use LyX on windows XP. I have some text in a .txt file. When I select it and try to paste it into LyX nothing happens, but it works the other way around, any fix for this? can you report whether this action helps in win environment? : 1. select something _inside_ lyx and copy it. 2. select the text in your .txt file and copy it 3. try to paste it into lyx does it help? pavel

Actually, my immediate confusion is where it should go The pgfplot instructions suggests texmf/tex/generic/pgfplots But the mactex instructions additions should go into /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local But equally, the Mactex instructions also seem to suggest it should go into $HOME/Library/texmf I have put the downloaded pgfplots folder into each of these locations, but get the same error about not being able to find pgfplots.sty The Mactex instructions also suggest that you don't need to run texhash, but other advice on thsi forum suggest that you do need to run texhash, which I have done, but get a list of errors. texhash: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf: directory not writable. Skipping... texhash: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config: directory not writable. Skipping... texhash: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist: directory not writable. Skipping... texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var/ls-R... texhash: Done. So I'm confused about where the pgfplot folder should be installed, along with the other issues. I do however, think I understand your commands, just don't know how to fill in the path. Graham
Re: Can't bind lyx function to certain keys
I'm trying to set up my keybindings so that when I enter a greek character, it inserts the greek character in math mode. I have my keyboard set up (with xmodmap) so that pressing Mode_switch-a generates Greek_alpha, Mode_switch-b generates Greek_beta, and so on. Then in my lyx keybindings file I have a bunch of lines like: \bind Greek_alpha math-insert \alpha \bind Greek_beta math-insert \beta ... For some reason though, these bindings get ignored, and just the regular greek letters get input (i.e. if I look at the source with view-view source, I see the actual greek characters, instead of \alpha, \beta, etc. commands). Then if I try to export to dvi or pdf, I get a warnig about some characters not being representable in the chosen encoding. I also tried binding other functions to the greek letters, just to test, but the bindings are always ignored. Does anyone know what might be going wrong? Thanks. you must bind to single character (usually combined with alt/ctrl/shift). you can instead of Greek_alpha generate some special _single_ character and this bind to math-insert \alpha. iirc direct using of unicode greek characters should be possible without the need of entering math mode (but maybe 1.6 thing, can't remember now). pavel
