IMHO the way firefox does it makes the most sense: the images are in a

I have used both bibtopic and bibunits and found both easy to use. They differ

Lyx on debian lenny 64 bit zlib/libz

[bb]

The actual lenny repository offers Lyx 1.5.5.. I tried to compile Lyx 
1.6.2 from source but ende with problems  in the ./configure-step. with 
the message:

** Cannot find libz. Please check that the zlib library
  is correctly installed on your system.
I installed a lot of libs from the lenny repository, for instance
lib64z1, libzzip-0-13zlib1g, zlib-bin, zlibc, zlib-gst, zziplib-bin
and tried some installations of zlib and libz from source from offerers 
of other internetpages as well - no success.
I tried the version Lyx 1.6.3 with some new hope but end with the same 
result.
It would be simply great, if anyone would share the secret of that libz 
or zlib or whatever to get a new version of Lyx running on lenny.

Thanks

Inserting C++ code

I have installed LyX 2.6.1 and trying to insert C++ code. I am trying as

xfig figure inclusion in lyx 1.5.7

[subir singh]

Hi,

I am using lyx1.5.7 on windows XP. I want to have a figure with greek
symbols, so I tried including xfig file directly as external document. The
problem is when I try and compile it gives:-

An error occurred whilst running python -tt C:/program
Files/LyX15/Resource/scrip

on clicking the ok option message appears:-

An empty file was generated

then it says:-

Latex Error File 1D_Work_Presentation_Fig_ch12.pstex_t   not found.

It is to be noted that I am including file ch12.fig   while is  in
D:/Work/Presentation/Fig.

Any help will be deeply appreciated.

forward search?

[Philippe Grosjean]

Hello,

I have set up the reverse DVI/PDF search feature. However, I would like 
to do the opposite: forward search (indicate the same position in the 
DVI/PDF as where is the cursor in the LyX document). Is it a mean to 
associate a key combination to trigger it?


I could work with the lyx server, but I miss a function that indicates 
me the line in the tex file corresponding to the position of the cursor 
in LyX. I imagine that such information could be accessible, since 
server-goto-file-row is capable of doing the opposite (from Tex line to 
LyX line).


In case this function does not exists, would it be possible to develop 
it for next LyX version?


Thanks,

Philippe

This is a design decision of Pavel Sanda (and for the record, I do not
agree with it):

There is the possibility of copying all referred image files, convert
them and then copy them back. This approach requires more work and I'm
still figuring it out.


IMHO the way firefox does it makes the most sense: the images are in a 
subfolder. The html itself should be either in that folder (like 
htlatex), or better, like any other exports with the original lyx file. 
I do not know how they (Firefox devs) do it, the html and its 
image/css/js folder are linked (at least on XP): if you move the file, 
the folder is moved with it.



3-
There is one place in my file where I used the "\unittwo" tip given in LyX
docs (Appendix A "Typographic Advice" of Math docs).


The \unit tag is not supported yet. If you send me a sample doc I will
try to make it work.


In the attached file, the second equation uses it.


Yes, I know I am requesting a lot of sample files from you; but that
is how eLyXer has improved until now, thanks to kind testers. You can
also join the hall of fame!


Already on it (for nothing...)

Thanks for that nice tool.

Best regards,

Olivier.

PS: I'm not sure my thunderbird will attach the file in the correct 
format for the list, so if it does not work, tell me. Also, the message 
is passing through gmane newsgroup interface, so I hope the lyx file 
won't be eaten.

Re: bibunits, bibtopic, chapterbib ?

The status is that bibtopic (as the only one of those packages) is natively 
supported by LyX (only for divided bibliographies, though, not for per-chapter 
bibliographies).
The "Additional Features" (a.k.a "Extended") manual of LyX describes the use 
of bibtopic (also for chapter bibliographies) in sec. 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.

The use of alternative packages is described here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Tips#secbib

I have used both bibtopic and bibunits and found both easy to use. They differ 
conceptually, so your choice depends on what you need and on your personal 
workflow.

Since I switched to biblatex now, I would probably use its capabilities to 
produce such bibliographies. If you are at the beginning of a project, 
considering biblatex is advised. It is not (yet) natively supported by LyX, 
but it can be used with some effort (cf. the wiki).

Lyx on debian lenny 64 bit zlib/libz

[bb]

The actual lenny repository offers Lyx 1.5.5.. I tried to compile Lyx 
1.6.2 from source but ende with problems  in the ./configure-step. with 
the message:

** Cannot find libz. Please check that the zlib library
  is correctly installed on your system.
I installed a lot of libs from the lenny repository, for instance
lib64z1, libzzip-0-13zlib1g, zlib-bin, zlibc, zlib-gst, zziplib-bin
and tried some installations of zlib and libz from source from offerers 
of other internetpages as well - no success.
I tried the version Lyx 1.6.3 with some new hope but end with the same 
result.
It would be simply great, if anyone would share the secret of that libz 
or zlib or whatever to get a new version of Lyx running on lenny.

Thanks
BB

You probably missed installing the devel-packages.
On ubuntu it is
zlib1g-dev
don't know the names for lenny.

Inserting C++ code

[Sajjad]

Hello forum,

I have installed LyX 2.6.1 and trying to insert C++ code. I am trying as
follows:

1. Inserted a float algorithm .
2. Pasted the code snippet inside that


But the code is not well formatted

Any hint on how to keep the format ?


Regards
Sajjad

The better solution is to use the listings inset. This is described in sec. 7 of the EmbeddedObjects 
manual that you find in LyX's Help menu.

Re: Inserting C++ code

[Erez Yerushalmi]

Hi Sajjad,

This reminds me of Bob's solution for Matlab2tex. Maybe you can use his
trick for C++.
see http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg73865.html

I would like to hear how you solved it.

Best,
Erez

xfig figure inclusion in lyx 1.5.7

[subir singh]

Hi,

I am using lyx1.5.7 on windows XP. I want to have a figure with greek
symbols, so I tried including xfig file directly as external document. The
problem is when I try and compile it gives:-

An error occurred whilst running python -tt C:/program
Files/LyX15/Resource/scrip

on clicking the ok option message appears:-

An empty file was generated

then it says:-

Latex Error File 1D_Work_Presentation_Fig_ch12.pstex_t   not found.

It is to be noted that I am including file ch12.fig   while is  in
D:/Work/Presentation/Fig.

Any help will be deeply appreciated.

* Simplest: use page view instead of continuous view in the reader.

* Style the footnotes with one of the footnote related packages 

   bigfoot.sty, eskdfootnote.sty, fixfoot.sty,
   footmisc.sty, mdwtools/footnote.sty,
   ncctools/manyfoot.sty, ncctools/nccfoots.sty, pdfcolfoot.sty,
   ...
   
* Ask at comp.text.tex for help with hyperref jumping too low
  (it always jumps to the baseline of the target, while the reader
  displays the target at the upper margin of the window :-(

forward search?

[Philippe Grosjean]

Hello,

I have set up the reverse DVI/PDF search feature. However, I would like 
to do the opposite: forward search (indicate the same position in the 
DVI/PDF as where is the cursor in the LyX document). Is it a mean to 
associate a key combination to trigger it?


I could work with the lyx server, but I miss a function that indicates 
me the line in the tex file corresponding to the position of the cursor 
in LyX. I imagine that such information could be accessible, since 
server-goto-file-row is capable of doing the opposite (from Tex line to 
LyX line).


In case this function does not exists, would it be possible to develop 
it for next LyX version?


Thanks,

Philippe

Generally, it's easy to access the desired information (via 
buffer().texrow().getRowFromIdPos), the question is how to communicate it to 
the viewer.

What is the syntax of forward search? I guess it does (as with reverse search) 
differ between viewers?
