Hide tracked changes?

[Matts Lindström]

Hi,
Is it somehow possible to hide tracked changes in the lyx editor without
choosing to accept/reject them? This is possible in Word, and a function
which I find very convenient as it makes the display a lot less cluttered,
while still preserving all of your edits.

Thanks,

Installing missing packages in Lyx

[Ludwik Celnikier]

Hello,

I am trying to use certain templates in lyx, for example the Kluwer 
template.


The normally installed version of lyx protests that some .cls or .sty 
files are missing.   I have downloaded the kluwer and unpacked the 
kluwer package from
CTAN, and placed the kluwer.cls file in the lyx folder which is in my 
localtexmf§/lates/lyx folder.


Lyx continues to protest - clearly I have not placed the file/s where 
it/they should be:  can you guide me, please.   The manual

isn't much help on this!

Thank you in advance,

all the best Ludwik Celnikier  (a very long time user of latex, 
miktex etc, but new to Lyx)

At present, no, this isn't possible. It's a reasonable suggestion, 
though. Perhaps the right way to implement it would be just to stop 
showing tracked changes when change tracking is turned off. It's hard to 
see why you'd want to see them if you weren't currently tracking them, 
or have them off if you are tracking them.

Did you run texhash? Did you ToolsReconfigure in LyX (then restart)? 
You always have to do the latter after installing new packages, so that 
LyX becomes aware of them.

Yes, definitely. I think you should add an enhancement request in trac
(I am not sure how easy it is, though)

The later situation actually seems very useful to me: you just edit your
file without those horrible blue texts, but LyX keeps track of the
changes nevertheless.

This is the wrong folder, you need to copy the files to a subfolder of your LaTeX distribution and

Buenas tardes D. Javier. En una pequeña polémica en la lista de LyX, Uwe 
Stöhr sostiene que es más correcto escribir,


$\sin\left[\dfrac{1}{2}\left(A+B\right)\right]$

que escribir esta expresión de la forma en la que me han enseñado toda la 
vida,


$\sin\dfrac{1}{2}\left(A+B\right)$

En mi opinión los delimitadores cuadrados no son necesarios, porque no 
hay confusión alguna en el significado de la expresión, y aunque es 
cierto que el argumento de la función debe ir perfectamente delimitado 
(en este caso primero delimitadores cuadrados y después paréntesis), 
todas mis enseñanzas y libros de Trigonometría se irán al traste si es 
necesario incluir los delimitadores cuadrados.

How to copy required files into the temporary directory?

[Yihui Xie]

Hi all,

I'm using a LaTeX package that will include certain files into the
document, however, Lyx does not know these files are required for
compiling, because they are not included with standard LaTeX macros
(e.g. \includegraphics{}). So my question is, how to copy these files
into the temporary directory?

I guess the task is something like cp *.pdf $$Tempdir.

My question is similar to this one:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg75879.html, but
I didn't find an explicit solution. Thanks!

Here's a dirty trick. You can include these via graphics insets, but 
then put a % in ERT at the beginning of the line. LyX doesn't know 
about the comment, so it'll still copy the file to the temporary 
directory, but of course LaTeX will ignore it. That said, it will also 
mangle the filename, e.g, you get

Usually a calligraphic F is used. In principle there is no rule for the symbol so you can define 
what you want. A list of possible notations is given in

Interestingly, the English Wikipedia is using \hat{f} as symbol that I haven't

Re: How to copy required files into the temporary directory?

Re: nice digest reply [ very OT: looks like alpine also can...]

It would appear that on Sep 14, Todd Denniston did say:

 Joe(theWordy)Philbrook wrote, On 12/23/-28158 02:59 PM:
  Personally I don't think that's ever going to happen any more than I
  think anybody will ever offer a list server with a smart digest option
  that includes some kind of header like tag in each individual message
  of the digest that can be used by a digest only subscriber to request a
  personal resend of just those individual messages they wanted to reply
  to. Which would provide a way for digest users to avoid messing with the
  threaded message reply path.
  
  Like I said, it ain't gonna happen... 
But wouldn't it be nice if I was wrong?
  
 SNIP
 At least on this bit I think there is a way to get the _effect_ you want,
 differently.
 
 This happens to be a reply to the lyx-users digest...
 the lyx-users digest is sent as a mime digest and with Thunderbird the user
 can simply double click on the message of interest (each message is listed as
 a mime attachment in the digest) which opens the message as a pretty much
 normal message and then hit reply.
 For some reason I had to take an extra Re: off the subject line, and I felt
 that SNIPing the message was reasonable, but this was the extent of the
 editing I HAD to do.

Well I'm glad to hear there is a work around. But I was talking about
a method that didn't specify which mail client was to be used. And was
suggesting (though NOT expecting) that if that, (like an optional
subject munging) was solved at the mail server, then it would be
reasonable to ask digest users to follow a simple how-to for digest
replies... 
 
 Using this knowledge in another email client is an exorcise left to the reader
 and other list members. :)

Actually now you got me curious. As an alpine user I didn't want to
believe that Tbird had better message handling abilities... ;-) So I
just ran a partial test. (partial because it's been a *_LONG_* time since
I subscribed to digest versions. And I didn't want to actually send a test
reply to the fedora core one vintage digest message I found in an old
archive, to a list I haven't even lurked in since Kubuntu Breezy)

Anyway, with alpine 2.00 I opened said digest, used the v command to
view attachments, selected a message from the list which did display
in order, including the individual subject lines. Then I viewed the
message itself. The message appeared to be complete with the
Message-ID: header line, so I tried the reply command r and found
myself in the composer, with the text of the selected message quoted, and
a subject line that correctly reflected that of the selected message...

Before deleting the reply I wasn't going to send, I postponed it and
opened the postponed folder for reading, the In-Reply-To: header was
indeed, pointing at the individual message in question... 

 Lyx on Linux, with out header munging. :0
 Boy we have stepped off topic. :)

Yeah I guess we have at that... But sometimes a little OT is therapeutic...
And the stress I feel anytime I think of even a remote possibility having
to deal with subject munging on yet another list indicates a need for a
little therapy...

Re: nice digest reply [ very OT: looks like alpine also can...]

It would appear that on Sep 14, Todd Denniston did say:

  Like I said, it ain't gonna happen... 
But wouldn't it be nice if I was wrong?
  
 SNIP
 At least on this bit I think there is a way to get the _effect_ you want,
 differently.
 
 This happens to be a reply to the lyx-users digest...
 the lyx-users digest is sent as a mime digest and with Thunderbird the user
 can simply double click on the message of interest (each message is listed as
 a mime attachment in the digest) which opens the message as a pretty much
 normal message and then hit reply.
 For some reason I had to take an extra Re: off the subject line, and I felt
 that SNIPing the message was reasonable, but this was the extent of the
 editing I HAD to do.

Well I'm glad to hear there is a work around. But I was talking about
a method that didn't specify which mail client was to be used. And was
suggesting (though NOT expecting) that if that, (like an optional
subject munging) was solved at the mail server, then it would be
reasonable to ask digest users to follow a simple how-to for digest
replies... 
 
 Using this knowledge in another email client is an exorcise left to the reader
 and other list members. :)

Actually now you got me curious. As an alpine user I didn't want to
believe that Tbird had better message handling abilities... ;-) So I
just ran a partial test. (partial because it's been a *_LONG_* time since
I subscribed to digest versions. And I didn't want to actually send a test
reply to the fedora core one vintage digest message I found in an old
archive, to a list I haven't even lurked in since Kubuntu Breezy)

Anyway, with alpine 2.00 I opened said digest, used the v command to
view attachments, selected a message from the list which did display
in order, including the individual subject lines. Then I viewed the
message itself. The message appeared to be complete with the
Message-ID: header line, so I tried the reply command r and found
myself in the composer, with the text of the selected message quoted, and
a subject line that correctly reflected that of the selected message...

Before deleting the reply I wasn't going to send, I postponed it and
opened the postponed folder for reading, the In-Reply-To: header was
indeed, pointing at the individual message in question... 

 Lyx on Linux, with out header munging. :0
 Boy we have stepped off topic. :)

Yeah I guess we have at that... But sometimes a little OT is therapeutic...
And the stress I feel anytime I think of even a remote possibility having
to deal with subject munging on yet another list indicates a need for a
little therapy...

Hide tracked changes?

[Matts Lindström]

Hi,
Is it somehow possible to hide tracked changes in the lyx editor without
choosing to accept/reject them? This is possible in Word, and a function
which I find very convenient as it makes the display a lot less cluttered,
while still preserving all of your edits.

Thanks,

Installing missing packages in Lyx

[Ludwik Celnikier]

Hello,

I am trying to use certain templates in lyx, for example the Kluwer 
template.


The normally installed version of lyx protests that some .cls or .sty 
files are missing.   I have downloaded the kluwer and unpacked the 
kluwer package from
CTAN, and placed the kluwer.cls file in the lyx folder which is in my 
localtexmf§/lates/lyx folder.


Lyx continues to protest - clearly I have not placed the file/s where 
it/they should be:  can you guide me, please.   The manual

isn't much help on this!

Thank you in advance,

all the best Ludwik Celnikier  (a very long time user of latex, 
miktex etc, but new to Lyx)

At present, no, this isn't possible. It's a reasonable suggestion, 
though. Perhaps the right way to implement it would be just to stop 
showing tracked changes when change tracking is turned off. It's hard to 
see why you'd want to see them if you weren't currently tracking them, 
or have them off if you are tracking them.

Did you run texhash? Did you Tools>Reconfigure in LyX (then restart)? 
You always have to do the latter after installing new packages, so that 
LyX becomes aware of them.

Yes, definitely. I think you should add an enhancement request in trac
(I am not sure how easy it is, though)

The later situation actually seems very useful to me: you just edit your
file without those horrible blue texts, but LyX keeps track of the
changes nevertheless.

This is the wrong folder, you need to copy the files to a subfolder of your LaTeX distribution and 
afterwards run texhash (assuming that your are using TeXLive). Finally, restart LyX and reconfigure it.

Alternativelly you could install TeXLive2008 (with tlmgr). This "tlmgr" is
a gui manager. You never again need to search in CTAN, because tlmgr does it 
for you. Inserts the data
at a proper place, runs texhash, ...

Buenas tardes D. Javier. En una pequeña polémica en la lista de LyX, Uwe 
Stöhr sostiene que es más correcto escribir,


$\sin\left[\dfrac{1}{2}\left(A+B\right)\right]$

que escribir esta expresión de la forma en la que me han enseñado toda la 
vida,


$\sin\dfrac{1}{2}\left(A+B\right)$

En mi opinión los delimitadores cuadrados no son necesarios, porque no 
hay confusión alguna en el significado de la expresión, y aunque es 
cierto que el argumento de la función debe ir perfectamente delimitado 
(en este caso primero delimitadores cuadrados y después paréntesis), 
todas mis enseñanzas y libros de Trigonometría se irán al traste si es 
necesario incluir los delimitadores cuadrados.


Agradecería su experta opinión. Muchas gracias y un saludo.

How to copy required files into the temporary directory?

[Yihui Xie]

Hi all,

I'm using a LaTeX package that will include certain files into the
document, however, Lyx does not know these files are required for
compiling, because they are not included with standard LaTeX macros
(e.g. \includegraphics{}). So my question is, how to copy these files
into the temporary directory?

I guess the task is something like "cp *.pdf $$Tempdir".

My question is similar to this one:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg75879.html, but
I didn't find an explicit solution. Thanks!

This will be my last reply to this topic: The most important thing is that people will understand 
what you are _exactly_ meaning. When I (German) and the other LyX user (US American) misunderstood 
your typesetting, then we both obviously didn't understand what you meant. I explained why omitting

Here's a dirty trick. You can include these via graphics insets, but 
then put a "%" in ERT at the beginning of the line. LyX doesn't know 
about the comment, so it'll still copy the file to the temporary 
directory, but of course LaTeX will ignore it. That said, it will also 
mangle the filename, e.g, you get

What symbol for Fourier transform?

What do you usually use for Fourier transform?  Calligraphic F, or maybe 
something else?

Usually a calligraphic F is used. In principle there is no rule for the symbol so you can define 
what you want. A list of possible notations is given in

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform#Other_notations
Interestingly, the English Wikipedia is using \hat{f} as symbol that I haven't 
seen yet in literature.

Re: How to copy required files into the temporary directory?

[Yihui Xie]

Thanks! Yes the file name is annoying. What's more, Lyx will use a
different temp directory each time, so it's difficult to copy the
files to the temp directory by hand, as I don't know the destination.
