Workaround is to not use outliner, and switch buffers, and then close one. ;)
I just happened to hit this yesterday because I happened to want (for the first
time :) to close
JUST one buffer instead of the whole program. Of course I ended up getting
whole program shutdown. :)
I can generally live with that workaround, especially as it seems to affect not
very many folks.
Thanks again.

Workaround is to not use outliner, and switch buffers, and then close one. ;)
I just happened to hit this yesterday because I happened to want (for the first
time :) to close
JUST one buffer instead of the whole program. Of course I ended up getting
whole program shutdown. :)
I can generally live with that workaround, especially as it seems to affect not
very many folks.
Thanks again.

the way I did it.
Set the type of text to LyX-Code

's are ?Smart? quotes.
` are I have no idea.
i is i`, I assume this is due to a ligature(is that the correct word?).
As annoying as that is, I did find in the interface that I am allowed to type:
Ctrl+ to get real ASCII double quotes.
Ctrl+' to get real ASCII quotes.
no way to get a real `.
no way to get a real i.
Does anyone know how to get real back-tics (`) and i?
When I was working under Fedora Core 4 (and before) with IIRC LyX 1.4.?? I did
not have these issues
with any text type, i.e., it did not matter where I was in any portion of the
PDF output I could
copy and paste and get ASCII out. It seemed to me that
Does anyone know which of the following product line upgrades would have
changed the behavior: LyX |
LaTeX | PDFLaTeX | tetex | evince ?
I have seen OCR'ed PDFs that have ASCII text below the picture of the document,
is there a way to
get the LyX stack to make those kind of PDFs, i.e., have a typeset version the
gets shown printed,
but a text version that gets copy and pasted?
Issue 2:
It is also troubling when I export to plain text and find the above ?Smart?
transformations have
taken place in the text output.

need help using a meta font.
I found the kind of font I would like to use in d7seg [1], but I can't seem to get the capbas set of files installed in a way that I can get lyx (or for all I know even TeX) to use it. I got the zip from ctan[2] I made ~/texmf/fonts/tfm/ unziped capbas to make ~/texmf/fonts/tfm/capbas/ [2.5] ran texhash, which gave little output [3] run (lyx) Tools - Reconfigure shutdown lyx lyx testfont.lyx try (lyx) View - DVI and get LaTeX Error: File `d7seg.sty' not found OK, I agree the file does not exist... how do I get it? I hope at worst it is some metafont incantation that must be done, because I obviously know nothing of how to create a style let alone one for a font. and don't even see one with find /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/ -name *.sty to copy and mess up. or is it as simple as, fonts can ONLY be in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/ and not in ~/texmf/fonts/ [1] http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/dseg/ Yes it's ugly, for normal reading, but that is what the operator will see on the 7 segment display that is in front of him/her. :) [2] http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/capbas/ [2.5] also cp ~/texmf/fonts/tfm/capbas/* ~/texmf/fonts/ and ran texhash [3] texhash texhash: Updating /home/myhomedir/texmf/ls-R... texhash: /usr/share/texmf: directory not writable.

then with a script passing all the appropriate options to LaTeX, dvips (I
needed PostScript output) and an rm of LaTeX temporary data, I have the
program create the postscript for sending to the printer.
Hope this helps.
[1] a full LaTeX document which uses a lot stuff from \usepackage{ifthen}
\usepackage{soul} \usepackage{pstricks} \usepackage{pst-text}
\usepackage{pst-eps} \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx} \usepackage[dvips]{geometry}
I love the funky stuff you can do with LaTeX... like making CD labels with
curved words on top of pictures. I started from:
http://www.aldil.org/projets/TeX_cd_label.html

before the variable file is pulled in, and you need to pull in the variable
file before you try to use one of it's variables in the main LaTeX file.

Depending on what the good stuff looks like, you might have to escape a character here or there. Paul, I think this is fundamentally the same approach Todd used.

Thanks to all,

what did the line in the PDF look like before you edited it?
putting
./front_page.htm
in a LyX URL box should have generated the pdf line you have above.
Output from the attached lyx file:
The ERT generates:
in LaTeX
\href{./test/index.html}{ERT}
in PDF
/Subtype/Link/A/Type/Action/S/URI/URI(file:./test/index.html)
the LyX box generates
in LaTeX
\url{./test/index.html}
in PDF
/Subtype/Link/A/Type/Action/S/URI/URI(./test/index.html)
at least on my Linux box.
So I think you should be able to get where you want to go by using LyX's
internal URL insert.

At my end, this causes postings to the list to be routed to the wrong mail box and in addition it means that if I try and reply to the list the wrong address is inserted in the 'To:' field. Is anyone else having this problem at present? Regards, Nick. You appear to be using Thunderbird 1.5.X on Windows, if when you define/edit the lyx filter, you set the pull down to "To or cc" instead of just "To", you should be happier.

My first comment/question is, if you can install Qt 4.3 on an FC2 box, any reason you are not allowed to just update the whole box to Fedora 7? IIRC, the problem is pkg-config does not know where to look. I think something like setting export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=`find /usr/localTrolltech/Qt -name pkgconfig` before running the lyx configure, would probably do it (assuming only one pkgconfig directory). -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter

Re: Merging lyx documents (can version tracking be abbused for this)

Then show your coworker LyX, perhaps he'll be impressed enough to use it - you can then pass LyX documents back and forth using changetracking. LyX will not prevent him from using LaTeX, he may still apply all tricks he knows using ERT. I can probably push lyx on her. The two problems are that we do a lot of work for journals and conferences and most of them use all kinds of wierd document styles which can make things a little auckward occationally. The actual issue here won't be solved though by the default change tracking implementation. What I need is a way to work in parrallel on the same version and then merge the changes. I see two proposed enhancements here at the moment. 1. Allow the change tracking system produce a three way merge (not sure how difficult) 2. Allow using an existing lyx layout with just changing the latex style file. It will be nice if someone else is interested enough, otherwise, I'm hoping to have some time in about 3-4 months to start amusing myself with this. You might be able to solve your problems by changing your procedures a little. You are working on a document in parallel... Answer the following questions: 1) Can the document be broken up in to chapters/sections? 2) Are the two of you _normally_ working on the same chapter/section? 3) Are you adverse to having a master document that pulls in sub-documents? 4) Are you on windows or Unix? (determines some of the other tools that would be suggested.) if (1) is yes, then if you can create the outline of the document this will put physical space in the document between your changes, this makes using things like patch, rcs and CVS easier. if (2) is yes, then likely the current tools can't help. if (2) is no then tools like patch, rcs and CVS can make your lives a little easier, with communication and practice. if (3) is no, using the tools already mentioned becomes a lot easier. if (4) is Unix, you probably already have the tools you need. if (4) is windows, we (the group) can probably guide you in finding _some_ of the tools to make things work better [CVSNT]. Folks in the group have tackled multiple people working on the same document a few times already.
