Re: lyx2.0.0beta3 vs. texlive 2010
Can you please tell me what did you do? Did you first uninstall all the TeXlive 2007 packages that come with F14 and then force the installation of 2010? Did you have to remove and reinstall LyX in the process? How do you find 2010 as compared with 2007? I'm mainly interested in the reverse search capabilities offered by the most recent releases.

is there a way to get Enumerate to continue numbering between separate Enumerations?
Let's say I create a list in Enumerate mode. Then I write some text in Standard mode. Now I want to Enumerate a few more items. I select Enumerate again, and it starts this new list at #1. However, I want the numbering to continue where the previous Enumerate left off. For example, if my previous list ended with item #2, I want the next enumeration to start with #3. Below is an example of what Lyx actually does, followed by what I want Lyx to do. Is there a way to make Lyx do what I want it to do? I checked the User Guide and the Additional Lyx Features, but didn't see a way to do it. Thanks for your help. Joel WHAT Lyx DOES Here's some text in standard mode. 1. Item one 2.

I guess some (or all) of my issues have already been considered in other messages. If this is the case, please do indulge me... I'm using the lyx 2.0.0beta3 version that is being currently distributed by the fedora 14 repository. 1) Although internationalization is assumed implemented in 2.0, I've found a case where this is not (apparently) the case. I attached the files theo1.* and theo2.* which contain exactly the same text, but use different modules. The file theo1.lyx uses the Theorems (AMS) and Theorems (AMS-Extended) modules. As you can also verify in theo1.pdf, both the lyx window and the output are correctly translated to Portuguese (Theorem - Teorema, Corollary - Corolário, ...). Looking into the LaTeX source (theo1.tex), we can verify that the babel package was automatically invoked and the translations were provided. The file theo2.lyx, on the other hand, uses the Theorems (AMS, Numbered by Type) and Theorems (AMS-Extended, Numbered by Type) modules. In this case, the translation is not performed anywhere and the source does not invoke the babel package. Unfortunately, I need the numbered by type modules. Seems to me that there is still a bug there. I would guess that these simply haven't been translated, though I don't know enough about how to do translation work to find out myself. That said, it isn't unusual for that sort of work not to have been finished in beta releases. 2) In a master-child structure, is it necessary to load the same modules in all document parts? If I load different modules, LyX will complain when processing the text. Yes, unfortunately, you do need to load the modules in each part. I know this is a problem, but we are not sure exactly what to do here. The problem is the LyX does not really consider child documents as parts of larger documents, but as standalone documents that happen to be included in other documents. 3) Where are the config files for the translations of the theorem modules? If you verify the theo1.tex source, you notice that no translation is provided for the Proof environment through babel. Concomitantly, on the LyX window you can observe one translation and on the pdf output another. I'm not completely satisfied with the translation for the assumption environment either. Here again, the translations may not be finished, but you can ask on the devel list, or contact the person doing the Portuguese translation directly. See http://www.lyx.org/I18n rh

[announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.9
Hello LyXers, the alternative Windows installer for LyX 1.6.9 is now available. (I'm abroad and far away from my home PC, so that it took some time. I'll also be only sporadically available the next month.) This installer comes again with an update installer to update existing LyX 1.6.8 installation to LyX 1.6.9. NOTE: To be able to use this update installer, LyX 1.6.7 must have been installed with the alternative Windows installer. - The installer for this version can be downloaded from: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=18354 and http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.9/ (General infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) Installer Changelog: - - LyX 1.6.9 - updated to eLyXer 1.1.2 - fix bug that a detected installed Python 3.x was used for LyX (LyX bug 7143) (LyX only works properly with Python 2.x) - improved support for Adobe Reader/Acrobat 10.x (ported from the official installer - thanks Joost Verburg) - support to set Swedish as LyX menu language (new feature in LyX 1.6.9) - happy LyXing Uwe
XHTML format and ooffice?
Dear All, I love the new xhtml export! Great addition to Lyx. It should also make exporting to Word relatively painless. Since I do not have access to MS Word, though, I wonder if anyone has succeeded in going through open/Libre office instead. On my system (Ubuntu 10.10. latest versions of both oopen/libre), the few files I have tried are open as a plain ascii files---text-editor style, with tags and everything. From what read online, this should not be the case. I am sure I am not seeing something blatantly obvious and would appreciate any help. Cheers, Stefano

[announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.9
Hello LyXers, the alternative Windows installer for LyX 1.6.9 is now available. (I'm abroad and far away from my home PC, so that it took some time. I'll also be only sporadically available the next month.) This installer comes again with an update installer to update existing LyX 1.6.8 installation to LyX 1.6.9. NOTE: To be able to use this update installer, LyX 1.6.7 must have been installed with the alternative Windows installer. - The installer for this version can be downloaded from: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=18354 and http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.9/ (General infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) Installer Changelog: - - LyX 1.6.9 - updated to eLyXer 1.1.2 - fix bug that a detected installed Python 3.x was used for LyX (LyX bug 7143) (LyX only works properly with Python 2.x) - improved support for Adobe Reader/Acrobat 10.x (ported from the official installer - thanks Joost Verburg) - support to set Swedish as LyX menu language (new feature in LyX 1.6.9) - happy LyXing Uwe
XHTML format and ooffice?
Dear All, I love the new xhtml export! Great addition to Lyx. It should also make exporting to Word relatively painless. Since I do not have access to MS Word, though, I wonder if anyone has succeeded in going through open/Libre office instead. On my system (Ubuntu 10.10. latest versions of both oopen/libre), the few files I have tried are open as a plain ascii files---text-editor style, with tags and everything. From what read online, this should not be the case. I am sure I am not seeing something blatantly obvious and would appreciate any help. Cheers, Stefano

Can you please tell me what did you do? Did you first uninstall all the TeXlive 2007 packages that come with F14 and then force the installation of 2010? Did you have to remove and reinstall LyX in the process? How do you find 2010 as compared with 2007? I'm mainly interested in the reverse search capabilities offered by the most recent releases.

is there a way to get Enumerate to continue numbering between separate Enumerations?
Let's say I create a list in Enumerate mode. Then I write some text in Standard mode. Now I want to Enumerate a few more items. I select Enumerate again, and it starts this new list at #1. However, I want the numbering to continue where the previous Enumerate left off. For example, if my previous list ended with item #2, I want the next enumeration to start with #3. Below is an example of what Lyx actually does, followed by what I want Lyx to do. Is there a way to make Lyx do what I want it to do? I checked the User Guide and the Additional Lyx Features, but didn't see a way to do it. Thanks for your help. Joel WHAT Lyx DOES Here's some text in standard mode. 1. Item one 2. Item two Here's some more text in standard mode. 1. Item three 2. Item four WHAT I WANT Lyx TO DO Here's some text in standard mode. 1. Item one 2. Item two Here's some more text in standard mode. 3. Item three 4. Item four

Re: Issues concerning theorem modules.
On 03/02/2011 07:33 AM, Rudi Gaelzer wrote: I'm having some trouble using the theorem modules when writing a text with a master-child structure in Brazilian Portuguese. I guess some (or all) of my issues have already been considered in other messages. If this is the case, please do indulge me... I'm using the lyx 2.0.0beta3 version that is being currently distributed by the fedora 14 repository. 1) Although internationalization is assumed implemented in 2.0, I've found a case where this is not (apparently) the case. I attached the files theo1.* and theo2.* which contain exactly the same text, but use different modules. The file theo1.lyx uses the Theorems (AMS) and Theorems (AMS-Extended) modules. As you can also verify in theo1.pdf, both the lyx window and the output are correctly translated to Portuguese (Theorem -> Teorema, Corollary -> Corolário, ...). Looking into the LaTeX source (theo1.tex), we can verify that the babel package was automatically invoked and the translations were provided. The file theo2.lyx, on the other hand, uses the Theorems (AMS, Numbered by Type) and Theorems (AMS-Extended, Numbered by Type) modules. In this case, the translation is not performed anywhere and the source does not invoke the babel package. Unfortunately, I need the numbered by type modules. Seems to me that there is still a bug there. I would guess that these simply haven't been translated, though I don't know enough about how to do translation work to find out myself. That said, it isn't unusual for that sort of work not to have been finished in beta releases. 2) In a master-child structure, is it necessary to load the same modules in all document parts? If I load different modules, LyX will complain when processing the text. Yes, unfortunately, you do need to load the modules in each part. I know this is a problem, but we are not sure exactly what to do here. The problem is the LyX does not really consider child documents as parts of larger documents, but as standalone documents that happen to be included in other documents. 3) Where are the config files for the translations of the theorem modules? If you verify the theo1.tex source, you notice that no translation is provided for the Proof environment through babel. Concomitantly, on the LyX window you can observe one translation and on the pdf output another. I'm not completely satisfied with the translation for the assumption environment either. Here again, the translations may not be finished, but you can ask on the devel list, or contact the person doing the Portuguese translation directly. See http://www.lyx.org/I18n rh

This is a bit of a correction on my previous email. I don't understand what is happening. Abiword *can't* open test.xhtml, nor can it open the renamed test.html. HOWEVER, I opened the file in emacs and deleted the first line, saved, then reinserted the first line. Now it opens in Abiword. Running an ediff on the two files shows no differences. I suspect that we are seeing some sort of coding problem, but I don't know enough to track it down. *Something* gets changed (perhaps by emacs) in the delete and reinsertion, but I don't know what it is. Sorry about the misleading previous post. I had done the deletion and reinsertion but had forgotten about it.

I ran tidy on the test.xhtml file and got the following: alant@stormy:~$ tidy -m -asxhtml test.xhtml line 1 column 1 - Warning: specified input encoding (iso-8859-1) does not match actual input encoding (utf-8) Info: Document content looks like XHTML 1.0 Strict No warnings or errors were found. After that, the document would open in Abiword. Perhaps someone who knows more than I can do something with this.
