Re: SV: SV: Error in Latex output, LyX adds an extra brace

[Jim Oldfield]

 From: Ingar Pareliussen ingar.parelius...@dmmh.no

 Yes, I see what  you mean. Paragraph is different, and a poor example. 
However,
 the same  happens with other headings as well, where my work around makes
 sort of  sense(?). Someone might want to put a subsection as a marginpar and
 have it  show up in TOC. Maybe as an example box or something... Not that I 
 would  advise it though :).


I think that we understand each other, but just to make doubly sure:

If you have some plain text containing a margin note, and you select it and 
change it to a section heading (or paragraph heading or whatever) then LyX 
produces the following result:

\section{ xxx \protect\marginpar{ yyy } }

which compiles and gives the result that the user was probably hoping for. You 
do NOT get:


\section{ xxx \protect\marginpar{ \section{yyy} } }

which does not compile. This only happens when you go _inside_ the marginpar 
and 
change the text there to section as well (telling LyX that yyy is another 
heading in its own right).

You're suggesting disallowing the first just to make sure that the user can't 
then go and do the second. Personally I disagree, but maybe the devs will not. 
So I suggest you enter this into the bug tracker and let the devs decide.

font embed LyX.............

[Charlie]

Hello All,

Does Okular embed the fonts that are used for document creation in LyX?
Can't seem to find that information on the net - though I see the
question.

If it doesn't can someone point me to a .pdf creation program that LyX
can use and does embed fonts. 

Also the actual converter line in LyX where that should be changed? I
find the terms in the converter window confusing: where is LyX-PDF?

TIA
Charlie

Copy and Paste to Moodle

[Dean Montgomery]

I'm trying to copy and Paste LyX source view to moodle (Firefox).  I add and 
extra $ at the beginning and end of the TeX code and Moodle will render it as a 
proper formula.  However for some reason the LyX Source view window adds some 
HTML + CSS formating and shows up as a line of code right above the rendered 
formula: p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

This also happens if I paste source code from LyX view source window into 
Drupal.  Is there a way to have LyX not copy html source to clipboard?

Paul,

I don't know why but I missed this (probably very) useful message! Did not try 
your suggestion yet.

I use manual ERT for cell rotations (always). The only (important I guess)

it a try and report back.

Thank you Rob and Liviu,

I have XeTeX and pdflatex and LuaTeX and all manner of such things, and
it seems they are doing the work of embedding fonts.

I should have realised that Okular is what was showing me the file and

Thank you both.

How to Format Commentary (float? minibox? table?)

[Greg Kise]

Hi Lyx Gurus,

For my dissertation I need to place comments adjacent to a  
chronological narrative. I envision doing this with a Left column  
containing the chronological narrative, and a Right column with the  
comments.


The comments would be inserted at specific places into the narrative,  
but would need to act like pull outs (or pull quotes) when the  
document is output. I've attached a PDF of what I would like to do.


Any ideas of how I can achieve this?

Thanks very much!

Paul,

I don't know why but I missed this (probably very) useful message! Did not try 
your suggestion yet.

I use manual ERT for cell rotations (always). The only (important I guess) 
difference  is that you suggest to use the "{\begin{sideways}...". I'll give 
it a try and report back.

Apologies for not seeing this before,
Nikos

Thank you Rob and Liviu,

I have XeTeX and pdflatex and LuaTeX and all manner of such things, and
it seems they are doing the work of embedding fonts.

I should have realised that Okular is what was showing me the file and
not doing anything else.

Thank you both.
Charlie

How to Format Commentary (float? minibox? table?)

[Greg Kise]

Hi Lyx Gurus,

For my dissertation I need to place comments adjacent to a  
chronological narrative. I envision doing this with a Left column  
containing the chronological narrative, and a Right column with the  
comments.


The comments would be inserted at specific places into the narrative,  
but would need to act like pull outs (or pull quotes) when the  
document is output. I've attached a PDF of what I would like to do.


Any ideas of how I can achieve this?

Thanks very much!
~greg
