Hello,

I have checked my configuration:
Latex.exe is in D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin
D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin is not in:
HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session 
Manager\Environment:Path

But it is (once) in:
HKey_Users\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1085031214-1580436667-839522115-4110\Environm
ent:Path

I guess the reason is that I have installed Miktex for myself only and not
for all users. I usually do that if I have the choice.

Thanks for doing this by the way, while I personnally prefer Angus' version,
I really need your version for my colleagues. I will test your next version.

Regards,
Abdel.

It detects your MiKTeX when the path is in this registry key.

Ah, perhaps you have two entries in the PATH variable that contains the 
a folder miktex. If yes move the actual path at the first position of 
the PATH. (The problem is that MiKTeX doesn't clean up the PATH when it 
is deinstalled so that you have more than one entries when you reinstall

it. MiKTeX sets the actual one at the first position so that the 
installer will use the first PATH entry with the folder miktex as 
folder to latex.exe. The next installer version will check every PATH 
entry with a folder miktex for the latex.exe).

Please report me what was the problem.

If nothing helps, use the Network version of the installer and set the 
path to latex.exe manually.

RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings

I forgot to precise that I used the small installer. I have checked the
network one and it works fine. I plan to have miktex on the network for my
colleagues anyway so I'll just use this one for now.

Question: is it possible to add a kind of config file to the network
installer that will specify the network path to Miktex?
I know that the perfect solution is to try to teach them but I prefer the
path of least resistance and a fully automated, network-base installation
process would be perfect ;-)

Thanks,
Abdel.

They have completely different purposes - one is in no way a substitute
for the other.

The graphicx package lets you use images. It provides the latex
commands for including images and take their sizes into account
when typesetting.  Without it - no images unless you use other packages
with similiar functionality.

Imagemagic is a set of conversion programs, that can convert images
from one format to another.  It is useful because latex only supports
a few kinds of images.  Any other kind of image won't work, they must
be converted to somathing latex (or pdflatex) can use.

Lyx knows this, and will automatically use imagemagic (or other
converters) to convert images as necessary.  Without imagemagic, you can
only use the kinds of images that latex/pdflatex support directly.  (Or
images for which you have other converters.)

I believe latex supports .eps, while pdflatex supports .pdf, .png, and .jpg.
For any other cases, you need a converter that lyx can use. Try a .bmp
for example - it will need conversion.

 No 1.4 is a work in progress, although it's making great progress at the

I might try to compile it with gcc or Visual C++ 6 (with StlPort). I have

Unfortunately not. The closest workaround is to put everything into a file
preamble.tex and write in the preamble section of each .lyx file

\input{preamble}

I need to obtain the result you can find on page 10 of this pdf:

And how could i reference to the automatically numbered equations?
2) Also i would like to obtain what you see on pag 12 of the same pdf

The problem is that i could'nt find any guide on using ams align,

Good. Try http://www.xnview.com/

Your LyX Path Prefix (under Edit--Preferences--Paths)
should look like C:\LyX\bin;C:\Python23;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\Perl\bin;
C:\gs8.51\gs8.51\bin;{C:\ImageMagick;}
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat7\Acrobat;
C:\Program Files\Ghostgum\gsview

But all in one line. It is a good idea to have this in your
Windows Path, if permissions permit. If you add an app,
use LyX, Edit--Reconfigure and then check your LyX
Path prefix afterwards. (You may have acrord32.exe 
which comes with Acrobat Reader rather than Acrobat pro.)

I find installing GSview 4.7, can be helpful for printing.

XnView which comes with Nconvert is mentioned with
ImageMagick in contexts which include LyX, although
I've not personally tried it. Perhaps another LyXer has.

put this style file into your main document dir or

Automatic numberig isn't possible in LyX. You have to enter the formula

Alt-m n (M-m n) or the menu Edit - Math - Toggle Numbering.

To have all equation numbers on the left side, add the phrase leqno to

Re: [LyX] translation of new Windows installer

2005-11-30 Thread Alex

Dear Uwe,

 for Windows is now just one step. Further details are here:

 http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
I would mention on the web page what version of windows it is running.
I am using Win98se, as far I know it does not run on win98, yet.
I would like it marked, on the wiki. For avoid confusion...

 Currently the installer is only partly translated to 7 languages. 
 Perhaps you have the time and will to translate some strings of it to 
 improve the installer.
 You find the installer strings in this package:

 http://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyXPackageScripts-0-4.rar
So, I do it, but I have some problems since I have Win98 I could not
install...

Can I have the screenshots of the individual install pages?
I am trying to guess the context of each string, but there is some
confusion I could not solve.

 And how could i reference to the automatically numbered equations?

First add a label to a formula (vie Insert menu) and then use the menu
Insert - Cross Reference.
That's right. I was wondering how to reference in case automatic numbering
was possible. But it is not, so the problem doesn't exist any more :)

 2) Also i would like to obtain what you see on pag 12 of the same pdf

 with equations 2.18 2.19 2.20.

 The problem is that i could'nt find any guide on using ams align,
 alignat, split, gather,...  and so on with lyx. From the pdf i mentioned

 it seems that they extend eqnarray, that is exactly what i need.

I wrote a documentation LyXMathebefehle that covers all math
specialities and how use them with LyX:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXMathebefehle#download

unfortunately it is in german but perhaps you can understand the
commands. You can also look at its pdf-version and to the corresponding

parts in the LyX-file to find out how it is done.
Yes, i alredy found your guide, but it's very hard for me to follow as i
don't know a word in german :)
So what i'm missing now is only the ability to replicate the result i saw
on page 12 of the pdf on lyx (that is, working with aling and alignat).
Next step will be learning split and multiline to deal with long formulas.
It would be very kind of you if you could give me some suggestions to accomplish
this diffucult (for me) task.
Thank you a lot for your reply!

Re: Need help with multiple equations

http://www.dante.de/CTAN/info/math/voss/mathmode/Mathmode.pdf

inside LyX choose _always_ the amsmath environments.

Herbert

I alway do that. The problem is that i have some difficulties using the aling,
alignat, split, multiline amsmath environments in lyx.
On the cited pdf i get some examples on how to use them in latex, but the
lyx implementation is still obscure to me.
For example, how to define the alignat spacing and to define alignment points?

Thank you for your reply!

help on oxford style bibliography or humanities-style in general


Hi everyone,

I've just started using Lyx, but already it is such a huge relief 
compared to Word - thanks! Just to change the font on the screen without 
affecting the font in print...


I saw that jurabib will have more native support in version 1.4, but I 
just wanted to ask if anyone is working with humanities-styles of their 
bibliographies in Lyx? - it could be jurabib or any other tex package 
that comply to the oxford style or equivalent, with the full reference 
as a footnote. If someone has a setup they are happy with (maybe proud 
of it as well? ;-)) I would be happy to hear how you do it.

[OT] PDF permissions

2005-11-30 Thread Paul A. Rubin


Oh LaTeX Gurus:

I'm stumped about how to generate PDF files from LyX that readers can 
annotate.  As far as I can tell, the problem is that several permissions 
(including annotation) are off by default when pdflatex emits its 
output.  I've tried using pdftk and Multivalent to change those 
permissions, but apparently Acrobat Reader uses the more restrictive of 
the permissions on the source document and the permissions added/removed 
by the program (e.g., pdftk) generating the modified output.  That makes 
sense; otherwise I could use it to undo restrictions set by an author.


If I'm right, what I need is a way to generate an initial PDF file with 
all permissions set on.  I can't find anything in the hyperref manual 
about this, and Google (including Google Groups) has failed me.  Any ideas?


TIA,

Paul

Re: help on oxford style bibliography or humanities-style in general [SOLVED]

Hi again,

Just solved it!

Found Robin Turner's solution on the mailing list, but I couldn't make
it work _because tex does not like percentage signs as a part of the
preamble_... Had probably been put there by the web interface of MArc or
something. How stupid can I be... Well, all happy now though - I
enclosed a short example of a humanist-style reference type if there are
anyone else wondering about this. In my preamble I have (just as in
Robin Turner's case):

\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[titleformat=italic,titleformat=commasep,commabeforerest,ibidem=strict,citefull=first,chicago,pages=format]{jurabib}
\renewcommand{\cite}{\footcite}

PS:Here's a tip to check for errors in the lyx file: export it to a .tex
file, and hope your text editor have Latex code highlighting. I solved
my problem by doing this, at least.

Best,

Arne Kjell

RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings

RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings

I forgot to precise that I used the small installer. I have checked the
network one and it works fine. I plan to have miktex on the network for my
colleagues anyway so I'll just use this one for now.

Question: is it possible to add a kind of config file to the network
installer that will specify the network path to Miktex?
I know that the perfect solution is to try to teach them but I prefer the
path of least resistance and a fully automated, network-base installation
process would be perfect ;-)

They have completely different purposes - one is in no way a substitute
for the other.

The graphicx package lets you use images. It provides the latex
commands for including images and take their sizes into account
when typesetting.  Without it - no images unless you use other packages
with similiar functionality.

Imagemagic is a set of conversion programs, that can convert images
from one format to another.  It is useful because latex only supports
a few kinds of images.  Any other kind of image won't work, they must
be converted to somathing latex (or pdflatex) can use.

Lyx knows this, and will automatically use imagemagic (or other
converters) to convert images as necessary.  Without imagemagic, you can
only use the kinds of images that latex/pdflatex support directly.  (Or
images for which you have other converters.)

I believe latex supports .eps, while pdflatex supports .pdf, .png, and .jpg.
For any other cases, you need a converter that lyx can use. Try a .bmp
for example - it will need conversion.

I need to obtain the result you can find on page 10 of this pdf:
http://home.eng.iastate.edu/~zhengdao/documents/amslatexdoc.pdf
In latex it seemes it suffice to use \begin{equation}... but in lyx? 
What is the lyx corrispective ?

And is math-display the lyx corrispective of \begin{equation*}. ?
Mybe should i add something in the preamble?
And how could i reference to the automatically numbered equations?
2) Also i would like to obtain what you see on pag 12 of the same pdf 
with equations 2.18 2.19 2.20.


The problem is that i could'nt find any guide on using ams align, 
alignat, split, gather,...  and so on with lyx. From the pdf i mentioned 
it seems that they extend eqnarray, that is exactly what i need.

Good. Try http://www.xnview.com/

Your LyX Path Prefix (under Edit--Preferences--Paths)

C:\gs8.51\gs8.51\bin;{C:\ImageMagick;}

use LyX, Edit--Reconfigure and then check your LyX
Path prefix afterwards. (You may have acrord32.exe 
which comes with Acrobat Reader rather than Acrobat pro.)

I find installing GSview 4.7, can be helpful for printing.

XnView which comes with Nconvert is mentioned with
ImageMagick in contexts which include LyX, although
I've not personally tried it. Perhaps another LyXer has.

is it possible to share document format among files?


write your own style file and put all changes in there
and load this by every document

\usepackage{myPrefs}

put this style file into your main document dir or
in TEXMFLOCAL or in the main part, where TeX will search.

Automatic numberig isn't possible in LyX. You have to enter the formula 
and then change it to a numbered one using the shortcut

Alt-m n (M-m n) or the menu Edit - Math - Toggle Numbering.

To have all equation numbers on the left side, add the phrase leqno to 
the menu field Layout - Document - Layout - Options .


In general you need to enable AMS-math in the menu
Layout - Document - Packages when you use AMS-constructs.

Toggling on the numbering of a formula changes from \[ \] to 
\begin{equation} \end{equation} in LyX.



And how could i reference to the automatically numbered equations?


First add a label to a formula (vie Insert menu) and then use the menu 
Insert - Cross Reference.


2) Also i would like to obtain what you see on pag 12 of the same pdf

The problem is that i could'nt find any guide on using ams align,

I wrote a documentation LyXMathebefehle that covers all math 
specialities and how use them with LyX:

unfortunately it is in german but perhaps you can understand the

Re: [LyX] translation of new Windows installer

2005-11-30 Thread Alex

Dear Uwe,

 for Windows is now just one step. Further details are here:

 http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
I would mention on the web page what version of windows it is running.
I am using Win98se, as far I know it does not run on win98, yet.
I would like it marked, on the wiki. For avoid confusion...

 Currently the installer is only partly translated to 7 languages. 
 Perhaps you have the time and will to translate some strings of it to 
 improve the installer.
 You find the installer strings in this package:

 http://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyXPackageScripts-0-4.rar
So, I do it, but I have some problems since I have Win98 I could not
install...

Can I have the screenshots of the individual install pages?
I am trying to guess the context of each string, but there is some
confusion I could not solve.

 thanks and sorry for bothering you

I alway do that. The problem is that i have some difficulties using the aling,
alignat, split, multiline amsmath environments in lyx.
On the cited pdf i get some examples on how to use them in latex, but the

For example, how to define the alignat spacing and to define alignment points?

help on oxford style bibliography or humanities-style in general


Hi everyone,

I've just started using Lyx, but already it is such a huge relief 
compared to Word - thanks! Just to change the font on the screen without 
affecting the font in print...


I saw that jurabib will have more native support in version 1.4, but I 
just wanted to ask if anyone is working with humanities-styles of their 
bibliographies in Lyx? - it could be jurabib or any other tex package 
that comply to the oxford style or equivalent, with the full reference 
as a footnote. If someone has a setup they are happy with (maybe proud 
of it as well? ;-)) I would be happy to hear how you do it.

[OT] PDF permissions

2005-11-30 Thread Paul A. Rubin


Oh LaTeX Gurus:

I'm stumped about how to generate PDF files from LyX that readers can 
annotate.  As far as I can tell, the problem is that several permissions 
(including annotation) are off by default when pdflatex emits its 
output.  I've tried using pdftk and Multivalent to change those 
permissions, but apparently Acrobat Reader uses the more restrictive of 
the permissions on the source document and the permissions added/removed 
by the program (e.g., pdftk) generating the modified output.  That makes 
sense; otherwise I could use it to undo restrictions set by an author.


If I'm right, what I need is a way to generate an initial PDF file with 
all permissions set on.  I can't find anything in the hyperref manual 
about this, and Google (including Google Groups) has failed me.  Any ideas?


TIA,

Paul

RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings

Hello,

I have checked my configuration:
Latex.exe is in D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin
"D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin" is not in:
HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session

I guess the reason is that I have installed Miktex for myself only and not
for all users. I usually do that if I have the choice.

Thanks for doing this by the way, while I personnally prefer Angus' version,
I really need your version for my colleagues. I will test your next version.

Hm, you used the Small version of the installer and it aborts the

If the path " D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin" is really in the PATH

HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session

if the path to the latex.exe is there in the entry "Path"
It detects your MiKTeX when the path is in this registry key.

Ah, perhaps you have two entries in the PATH variable that contains the 
a folder "miktex". If yes move the actual path at the first position of 
the PATH. (The problem is that MiKTeX doesn't clean up the PATH when it 
is deinstalled so that you have more than one entries when you reinstall

it. MiKTeX sets the actual one at the first position so that the 
installer will use the first PATH entry with the folder "miktex" as 
folder to latex.exe. The next installer version will check every PATH 
entry with a folder "miktex" for the latex.exe).

Please report me what was the problem.

If nothing helps, use the Network version of the installer and set the 
path to latex.exe manually.

thanks and regards

RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings

I forgot to precise that I used the small installer. I have checked the
network one and it works fine. I plan to have miktex on the network for my
colleagues anyway so I'll just use this one for now.

Question: is it possible to add a kind of config file to the network
installer that will specify the network path to Miktex?
I know that the perfect solution is to try to teach them but I prefer the
path of least resistance and a fully automated, network-base installation
process would be perfect ;-)

They have completely different purposes - one is in no way a substitute
for the other.

The graphicx package lets you use images. It provides the latex
commands for including images and take their sizes into account
when typesetting.  Without it - no images unless you use other packages
with similiar functionality.

Imagemagic is a set of conversion programs, that can convert images
from one format to another.  It is useful because latex only supports
a few kinds of images.  Any other kind of image won't work, they must
be converted to somathing latex (or pdflatex) can use.

Lyx knows this, and will automatically use imagemagic (or other
converters) to convert images as necessary.  Without imagemagic, you can
only use the kinds of images that latex/pdflatex support directly.  (Or
images for which you have other converters.)

I believe latex supports .eps, while pdflatex supports .pdf, .png, and .jpg.
For any other cases, you need a converter that lyx can use. Try a .bmp
for example - it will need conversion.

The best one for windows is jabref (http://jabref.sourceforge.net/), it is
GPL.
The problem is that it requires java, so this will be an additional
dependency for your installer. Most of the windows users have Java so this
might not be a problem. Maybe you could try to compile it with gcj (try
thisiscool-gcc: http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc_mingw.htm )

Sorry I was wrong, a reconfiguration of LyX isn't needed.

Next Weekend. To enable instant preview for version 0.4 download this

and decompress it in LyX's install folder. (Say yes when you are asked 
to overwrite/replace files)

Re: lyx on windows (and printing notes)


Some of you said:


being able to run lyx without latex is IMHO a good and useful thing!


This is possible with the Network variant of my installer. Setting a 
wrong path to the latex.exe will do the trick. The next installer 
version will have a separate option for this.

I understand your problem now a bit better but still can't help you. As

I found only two adequate programs:

WibTeX

and

JabRef
http://jabref.sourceforge.net/

the latter requires an installed java-runtime.
I'll not include one of them to the installer because not everybody uses 
BibTeX and the look and feel of the two programs is very different. I 
added some links to

shared document format for multiple files

so i decided to break up my doc using inclusions.
but now they each have their own document format, if i change the option in
the main file the included files wont know about them and vice-versa...

is it possible to share document format among files?

Unfortunately not. The closest workaround is to put everything into a file
preamble.tex and write in the preamble section of each .lyx file

\input{preamble}

BTW if you create DVI, PS or PDF etc. from the master document all settings
like documentclass, papersize etc. of the included documents are ignored.

Need help with multiple equations

2005-11-30 Thread Pelux

Hi, i'm using lyx for my phd works in statistics, but i'm having some 
problems that i really don't know how to solve, and google-searching for 
two hours didn't help.

So, here are my questions:
1) I would like to have all my equations (not the inline ones) to be 
automatically numbered, i prefer to the left. Is it possible?

I need to obtain the result you can find on page 10 of this pdf:
http://home.eng.iastate.edu/~zhengdao/documents/amslatexdoc.pdf
In latex it seemes it suffice to use \begin{equation}... but in lyx? 
What is the lyx corrispective ?

And is math-display the lyx corrispective of \begin{equation*}. ?
Mybe should i add something in the preamble?
And how could i reference to the automatically numbered equations?
2) Also i would like to obtain what you see on pag 12 of the same pdf 
with equations 2.18 2.19 2.20.


The problem is that i could'nt find any guide on using ams align, 
alignat, split, gather,...  and so on with lyx. From the pdf i mentioned 
it seems that they extend eqnarray, that is exactly what i need.

Thank you for your help in advice! :)

Good. Try http://www.xnview.com/

Your LyX Path Prefix (under Edit-->Preferences-->Paths)
should look like C:\LyX\bin;C:\Python23;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\Perl\bin;
C:\gs8.51\gs8.51\bin;{C:\ImageMagick;}
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat7\Acrobat;
C:\Program Files\Ghostgum\gsview

But all in one line. It is a good idea to have this in your
Windows Path, if permissions permit. If you add an app,
use LyX, Edit-->Reconfigure and then check your LyX
Path prefix afterwards. (You may have acrord32.exe 
which comes with Acrobat Reader rather than Acrobat pro.)

I find installing GSview 4.7, can be helpful for printing.

XnView which comes with Nconvert is mentioned with
ImageMagick in contexts which include LyX, although
I've not personally tried it. Perhaps another LyXer has.

Stephen

write your own style file and put all changes in there
and load this by every document

\usepackage{myPrefs}

put this style file into your main document dir or
in TEXMFLOCAL or in the main part, where TeX will search.

Automatic numberig isn't possible in LyX. You have to enter the formula 
and then change it to a numbered one using the shortcut

"Alt-m n" (M-m n) or the menu Edit -> Math -> Toggle Numbering.

To have all equation numbers on the left side, add the phrase "leqno" to 
the menu field Layout -> Document -> Layout -> Options .


In general you need to enable AMS-math in the menu
Layout -> Document -> Packages when you use AMS-constructs.

Toggling on the numbering of a formula changes from "\[ \]" to 
\begin{equation} \end{equation} in LyX.



And how could i reference to the automatically numbered equations?


First add a label to a formula (vie Insert menu) and then use the menu 
Insert -> Cross Reference.

I wrote a documentation "LyXMathebefehle" that covers all math 
specialities and how use them with LyX:


http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXMathebefehle#download

unfortunately it is in german but perhaps you can understand the 
commands. You can also look at its pdf-version and to the corresponding 
parts in the LyX-file to find out how it is done.

Last time that I looked for it, I did not find it. MuPAD Pro 3.2 is a
commercial version, which you can try but for a limited period. (One
needs to ask for a temporary licence.)

Dear Uwe,

I would mention on the web page what version of windows it is running.
I am using Win98se, as far I know it does not run on win98, yet.
I would like it marked, on the wiki. For avoid confusion...

> You find the installer strings in this package:

So, I do it, but I have some problems since I have Win98 I could not
install...

Can I have the screenshots of the individual install pages?
I am trying to guess the context of each string, but there is some
confusion I could not solve.

No problem.
Does every translators subscribed to the lyx-docs@lists.lyx.org list?

That's right. I was wondering how to reference in case automatic numbering
was possible. But it is not, so the problem doesn't exist any more :)

Yes, i alredy found your guide, but it's very hard for me to follow as i
don't know a word in german :)
So what i'm missing now is only the ability to replicate the result i saw
on page 12 of the pdf on lyx (that is, working with aling and alignat).
Next step will be learning split and multiline to deal with long formulas.
It would be very kind of you if you could give me some suggestions to accomplish
this diffucult (for me) task.
Thank you a lot for your reply!
