Brilliant! You nailed it. At the top of my user.bind file, I 
originally had this line:


    # Copyright © 2013 by the Editorium. All rights reserved.

I didn't include that in my original posting because the line was 
commented out, so I figured it didn't matter. Not so; LyX evidently 
doesn't like the © character, even in a comment. I removed the 
character, and everything worked perfectly. That's odd, because LyX 
never objected before, but LyX 2.3 does. Maybe it's an encoding issue 
on Windows.


At any rate, thanks again for your help. Problem solved, and I really 
appreciate it. I hope this may be helpful to someone else.



You may be right about it being a Windows issue. I can't reproduce it on 
Linux Mint, even with the copyright symbol in the file. If someone else 
can reproduce it on Windows to confirm that's the problem, we might open 
a bug ticket for it. If nothing else, the error message is misleading.

I'm using LyX 2.3.2 on Windows 10. I recently did a clean install of 
Windows 10 and then reinstalled LyX 2.3.2, along with my customized 
user.bind file. Yesterday was the first time I tried to use LyX since 
then, and that's when I started getting the "unknown function" 
message. The user.bind file has worked just fine in the past.


If I take just one of the commands from the user.bind file, like this one:

command-sequence font-emph

and enter it into LyX's command buffer, it works just fine.

I've tried the user.bind file with LyX 2.3.1-1 as well, and it doesn't 
work there, either.


By the way, I've always reconfigured LyX after installing the 
user.bind file, which I've placed in ~\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\ as 
specified under Help > About.


I'm pretty good with LyX, but this one has me stumped.

Lyx functions for view pdflatex and update pdf-latex?

2009-01-05 Thread Stefano Franchi
Hi all,

whle trying to fix some problem with my customized bindings, I ended up losing 
all of them and I now need to rewrite them from scratch. Not a big deal, 
except that I cannot find the functions corresponding to the menu commands 

ViewPDF(pdflatex) and
ViewUpdatePDF(pdflatex)

they do not seem to be present in the list of functions available from within 
the interface, and the functions are not visible in the minibuffer when called 
from the menu.
I tried buffer-view pdf and buffer-update pdf, but they correspond (judging 
from the resutls in the menu) to the ViewPDF(ps2pdf) which should not be same 
as ViewPDF(pdflatex)


Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Stefano

Lyx functions

2008-07-28 Thread Simeon Simeonov
I really like lyx. I just find something a bit hard. Some things are easier to 
be done via the keyboard (otherwise it's back to MS point and click nightmare). 
I mean in an equation it is much easier to just do \pi for Pi or \neq for the 
not equal sign. What about in standard mode when I am writing text? Can I use 
lyx as a non WYSIWYG editor? I heard some people say using vim and then 
compiling the document but I really don't have time learning the whole lot of 
things about TeX/Latex and I would like partial WYSIWYG with options of 
inputing source directly and the application substituting it with the

Note that in LyX equations you actually can type math commands (like  
\pi), Lyx then automagically replaces them by the corresponding symbol  
-- IMHO a really cool features!

nearly all "mouse actions" can be done by keyboard action,
you just have to lern the keybindings or bind new functions for your usage.

you have to choose what you want. if you want vim-li editing, use vim :)

i search often for some keyword and always get frustrated about ten different
documments to look in. we can even put this as main documentation link from
our official site.

you can play with it of course :) just run 'doxygen' command in your svn
tree (sourcedoc directory). you get the page for any tweaking before you
put it in wiki. :)

when 1.6 is out we can replace the whole page by the current version.


Yes, please do so.

This can be done, but not yet. I'm working to get the docs ready for LyX 1.6 and processing a 1000+ 
pages document is time consuming. I could provide such a file maybe when LyX 1.6.0 is out, but you 
can of course try to do it yourself.

Documentation of LyX functions (aka LFUNs)

2008-07-22 Thread Pavel Sanda
Dear LyXers,

I'm proud to announce that the LFUNs documentation project has been finished.

If you are interested in mastering LyX this documentation could be useful for
your needs.

Some technical speech:

* All documentation is orginally written as doxygen comments in our source 
code, 
  so this should be the first place to check-up documentation bugs, 
improvements etc.
  You should be able to find most up-to-date version (but not much readable) 
here:

  http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk/src/LyXAction.cpp


* The documentation is synchonized with the upcomming LyX 1.6. Many things
  could be used even for 1.5 series of LyX, but be careful (bug reports should
  be checked always against 1.6.)


* HTML documentation was produced via doxygen. The file could be found here:

  http://www.lyx.org/~sanda/doxygen/html/namespacelyx.html

  or you can go directly to the right section:

  
http://www.lyx.org/~sanda/doxygen/html/namespacelyx.html#5ae63e8160e98b54ad28f142ed40c202


* .lyx version was produced by hand-crafted script and can be found here:

   http://www.lyx.org/~sanda/doxygen/lfuns.lyx

   or .pdf version respectively:

   http://www.lyx.org/~sanda/doxygen/lfuns.pdf


I would appreciate all bug reports (i.e. some lfun does not work in the way
its documented), typo in documentation etc.


Disclaimer: Please note that the conversion to HTML or .lyx is not at all
100% and is not intended to be typographical jewel...

Enjoy!

Not really. At least: not other than reading other bits of the code. One 
very helpful place, though, is the .bind files.


Regarding the code, here's what I know about how to figure out the LyX 
functions. First, LyXAction.cpp basically gives you a translation manual 
between what you'd type in the minibuffer or put in a .bind file (e.g., 
pagebreak-insert) and the internal LyX representation of these (e.g., 
LFUN_PAGEBREAK_INSERT). The names will give you some sense what the 
commands do, and you can just try them out in the minibuffer, once you 
know what arguments they expect. That's the tricky part.


The LFUNs are handled in several different places. One is the dispatch() 
method in LyXFunc.cpp. This takes a FuncRequest (see 
FuncRequest.{h,cpp}), which basically encapsulates an LFUN and a string 
argument to it, and some related information. There's a giant switch 
statement then, and it's here that you can start to find information on 
what the argument is expected to be like, though you may have to follow 
the call elsewhere. Not all the LFUNs are handled there, though. There's 
a dispatch method in Text3.cpp that handles LFUNs that are connected 
with actual text editing. And some LFUNs are ultimately handled by 
insets via their doDispatch() methods. The easiest thing to do, 
ultimately, I think, is to grep the LFUN once you have it.

1. LaTeX packages: dropping or dropcaps
Could you implement one of these packages? They are much too difficult for 
standard users to use via ERT. Initials  are so basic in typography.

2. LaTeX package endnotes:
Two options should be included in the implemenation of endnotes for LyX:
1) adding endnotes at the end of a chapter (not only at the end of a book).
2) using footnotes (in the chapter) AND using endnotes (at the end of the same 
chapter) simultaneuosly, separately
The possibility to define oneŽs own denotation for the endnotes (for entiteling 
them) would also be usefull.

3. Making a page number invisible
It would be important to have a function for making a page number invisible: 
When an image needs the whole page it sometimes would look better without the 
page number at the bottom of it.
  

The last one is easy in ERT:  \thispagestyle{empty}
Of course, a nicer way (insert-special formatting-pagestyle)
for this common occurence would be interesting,

them) would also be usefull.

3. Making a page number invisible
It would be important to have a function for making a page number invisible: 
When an image needs the whole page it sometimes would look better without the 
page number at the bottom of it.

Thank you once again for engaging for LyX!


Yours sincerely

Feature Request / suggestions for new LyX functions

2006-08-19 Thread Markus Jockisch




Dear Sirs,

thank you very much for your engagement for Free Software.

Here are some suggestions for new LyX functions:

1. LaTeX packages: dropping or dropcaps
Could you implement one of these packages? They are much too difficult for 
standard users to use via ERT. Initials  are so basic in typography.

2. LaTeX package endnotes:
Two options should be included in the implemenation of endnotes for LyX:
1) adding endnotes at the end of a chapter (not only at the end of a book).
2) using footnotes (in the chapter) AND using endnotes (at the end of the same 
chapter) simultaneuosly, separately
The possibility to define oneŽs own denotation for the endnotes (for entiteling 
them) would also be usefull.

3. Making a page number invisible
It would be important to have a function for making a page number invisible: 
When an image needs the whole page it sometimes would look better without the 
page number at the bottom of it.

Thank you once again for engaging for LyX!


Yours sincerely
