Introduction documentation
Hi, when reading changed Introduction (yes, it is MUCH better in *fix4, than it was before), I found very nicely written chapter about WYSIWYM concept. Maybe, that it may be worthy to mention, that similar concept as WYSIWYM is called in SGML/HTML world ``structured authoring'' (see for example, HTML4 standard on W3C website). Actually, it was the reason why I have switched to LyX from Lout (although, I still believe, that Lout is much better than whatever was created in *TeX world; maybe, with exception of ConTeXt; but both of these formatting programs have one crucial disadvantage for me -- there is no LyX for them :-).

Hi, after unsuccesfull attempt to install binary RPM package from ftp.sylvan.com, I have spent this whole day compiling lyx-1.1.6fix4 here (yes, it takes basically whole day to compile LyX on Pentium 120MHz w/32 MB RAM!).

I just checked out this website. It seems like the amsrefs
package is meant for publishing mathmatical documents, something
I won't be doing. Also, if I understand it correctly, amsrefs
doesn't wouldn't offer any flexibility. The database of your data
base has to be what you would use in a latex document. What
happens if you need to change one element in this database?
Wouldn't you have to every single entry by hand?
Wrong on both counts :-).
1) Although AMS is concerned mostly with the mathematic
(surprise!), they are also publishers who are dissatisfied
with the BibTeX. Therefore, amsrefs is entirely
non-mathematical thing--just a replacement of BibTeX written
entirely in LaTeX.
2) Let me see from the example document (jktest.ltb):
\bib{MR58:27738}{book}{
author={Andrews, G.~E.},
title={The {T}heory of {P}artitions},
publisher={Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its
Applications, Vol. 2, Addison-Wesley,
Mass.-London-Amsterdam},
date={1976},
}
It does not seem like what you will use in your document, does
it? And I do not think, how maintenance of the database
consisting from such blocks is more difficult than maintenance
of BibTeX database (of course, unless you use Pybibliographer,
but _that_ I found totally unsufficient to my needs, so I am
using good old EMACS/vi for BibTeX databases anyway).

In fact, I wanted to stress the fact that database typing
inside documents (which is a current practice) should be
avoided because a bibliography tag is by definition an piece of
data which should be written once correctly forever, and
available autonomously for copy (that's why I don't like some
facilities like the STRINGS or crossref features: the bib
record looses autonomy ant can't be simply copied for reuse).
My previous experience before LaTeX/LyX was with Lout (which I
consider to be much better designed than LaTeX, but it doesn't
have LyX and CTAN, which were the reasons why I switched) and
there it was done in a way, which really made sense to me. Lout
has a command @Reference (char @ is roughly equivalent of \ in
TeX) which contains bibliographical information and with the
syntax similar to @something in BibTeX. So for example for
TeXbook, there is this:
{ @Reference
@Tag { knuth1984tex }
@Type { Book }
@Author { Donald E. Knuth }
@Title { The {@TeX}Book }
@Publisher { Addison-Wesley }
@Year { 1984 }
}
And the bibliographical database was just list of such records
(BTW, databases are indexed, so they may be much bigger) to be
included via the equivalent of \input (modified for the
databases, so that only selected records were included).
The point is, that because Lout (not some additional program) was
able to work with these records, it was possible to include
couple of these in the document, which may be helpfull sometimes.
For example, I am now in the graduate school, so I have to write
a lot of small papers with references which are not of direct
interest to me. Therefore, with Lout I was able to put some
refereces (which were not interesting for me) into document and
some other were gotten from the database. Of course, another
advantage of such system (which may be the main issue for AMS to
create such system) is that, it was possible to use
self-contained documents (I know, you can get something similar
with tools for BibTeX too). Now, I have to have special
bibliographical database junk.bib, but it is not the same.
And do not tell me, that I should not be allowed to shoot my foot
off--I am afraid, that such things smell by Mordor (sorry, I mean
Microsoft :-). Truth is, that I cannot do it with BibTeX,
although I would love to and I have some pretty legitimate
reasons to do so.
So the question is only about the choice of the standard: -
using latex in an abstract field (which does not exists in the
original bib data structure (which knows only about note field
Or even worse with me: abstract field is just for real abstracts
of original authors and annotate is for my notes and comments.
AFAIR) or in titles (which I use often) imports (La)TeX inside
And, BTW I am afraid that weird rules of capitalization in BibTeX
are just another instance, when I am confident to say, that it is
bug, not feature.
this piece of data this is clearly not recommended for
portability even if the output is much better; this must be the
reason why .bib is not a standard for citation outside the
academic world using LaTeX/LyX; - using on of these standards
(among which a lot are proprietary AFAIK) needs conversion to
bib or amsref, if ever possible without licensing.
Most of them have some export/import filters to/from BibTeX.

I do not know, what do you mean exactly, but such thing as you
want, I would do through creating special package and then just
using \usepackage{mypackage} in Layout/LaTeX Preamble. For more

Clean-up of the overfluous {}
Hi,
LyX in later version correctly creates workaroung around problems
with Spanish question mark by preceding it with empty group, so
that instead of
,,My question?``
(which leads to Spanish inverted question mark)
it creates
,,My question?{}``
which avoids the problem. However, I would like to make script

booktabs
Hi, just a question, whether there are plans to support booktabs package in LyX? The package makes _much_ prettier tables and implementation in LyX would need just an ability to distinguish between three kinds of the \hline (\toprule, \midrule, and \bottomrule). Unfortunately, I have not found a way, how to insert different rules in table in LyX via ERT, so I can use benefits of the package, only when working in plain LaTeX. Any thoughts for ERT support?

Well, almost. See attached example -- I have to use multicolumn
(because of the last subheading) and of course latex hugely
complains, when it has \midrule in \multicolumn.
Another note, is that booktabs just cries for WYSIWYM solution:
user creates regular table with \hlines, and then when ``Use
booktabs'' option is checked, LyX translates the first \hline to
\toprule, the last one to \bottomrule and everything else to
\midrule or \cmidrule. That's WYSIWYM as I would like to have it.
Well, I know, maybe in 1.3.*. But, I suppose, that this paragraph
is not for you, Herbert, but rather for developers on this list

Overall environment
Hi,
trying to create layout for the document class of the bulletin of
CSTUG (Czech TeX Users' Group), I have hit a problem. Every
article in LaTeX document provided by author (one file may
contain more articles; of course, the reason is, that whole
bulletin is than compiled to one) is enclosed (whole, even
\title, \author, and \maketitle) in special environment clanek
(which is ``article'' in Czech). Something like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{csbul} % style of the bulletin itself
\begin{document} \begin{clanek}
\title{something} \author{something}
\podpis{something} % ``podpis'' means ``signature'' and it is
% used for the authors name
and contact
% info in the end of the
article.
\maketitle
\section{...}
...
\end{clanek} \end{document}
I would like to make layout as seamless as possible (remember, it
is for introduction of LyX to {La}TeX community, so I would like
to avoid any ERT) and of course, I cannot change the style itself.
However, when browsing through Customization document, I was not
able to fingure out, how to do this. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Matej

However, when thinking about using some other fonts, there are some caveats: most of all, there are no quality free mathematical fonts which are nicely complementing to Times. Therefore, when you are using a lot of mathematics, I still use Computer Modern (and I have access to 1200 dpi laser printer in the school), but I like more and more using free Lido font, which is enhanced free for non-commercial use version of Times (see http://www.cstug.cz/stormtype/slido.html).

WYSIWYM and line spacing
Hi,
just a question to developers: is it possible to switch off
displaying linespacing in LyX? I have to write a paper
double-spaced, but double-spacing is so awfull for authoring
a text. After all, I do not mean anything by double-spacing, so
why is it displayed in WYSIWYM editor at all?
Of course, I could cheat LyX to work as I would like it by
putting
\usepackage{setspace} \doublespacing
into preamble (which is, what I currently do), but why should be
linespacing be driven by the LaTeX setting in the first place?
Happy LyXing everybody!

So I try to use SGML as the most universal language available. Being Czech (and thus using frequnetly ISO 8859-2 myself), I believe, that using SGML when you are not sure is not the best thing to do. plain LaTeX is perfectly capable to produces documents in good HTML, not saying about PDF and PS which are always perfect (when LyX is setup well). By using SGML you are creating just another level of complexity, which leads to higher difficulty of operation and thus to unsatisfactory results (maybe you don't know it, but SGML is translated in .fot format, which is translated into a kind of LaTeX, which is then translated into PS/PDF). LaTeX itself is perfectly capable produce perfect Eastern European documents. Conclusion: if you do not need SGML, then you probably do not want it. If you really do need it, find some complex documents explaining how to do it and learn it all hard way (i.e., first by creating documents in plain text editor, converting them via JadeTeX to PS/PDF). Then add LyX on top of that. I do not want to say, that LyX is useless for SGML - I believe that it may greatly simplify production of documents even there. But setting up whole machinery is not totally intuitive yet, and you should learn a lot (maybe too much) before making it work. These are my experiences accquired when trying to do it myself. Maybe, that in very close future SGML (DocBook) will bury all LaTeX, but I am afraid, that we are not there yet (and it is not problem of LyX, but in the underdevelopment of SGML/XML capable tools). Which is nothing against all good programmers, who are working (and probably using) support of SGML in LyX, but it is sad statement about my experiences and current situation. Happy LyXing Matej

On 3 May, Jan Warnking wrote: I have a table that is rotated by 90deg, and would like to rotate the caption, too and have it appear to the right of the table (under it if you turn the page to read the table). And since the table is just very large, but short, I would like to put two of these tables (with their captions) on one page. I figure that if I can display one correctly, the rest should be easy with minipages. Right now I have the two tables on one page, and the captions at the bottom of the page under each table (to the left of it if you turn the page). Since the tables do not have equal width, this looks awkward, apart from the fact that you can't read tables and captions at the same time. There is a document ``Packages in graphics bundle'' (file grfguide.ps in $TEXMF/doc/latex/graphics) which describes this and many other issues realting to graphical stuff. Matej

On 7 May, Nirmal Govind wrote: How do I get LyX to automatically delete any backup (*.lyx~) files when I close a document (after saving it)? I see that there's an option to not create backup files in lyxrc but I do want to have backup files (while I'm editing the document), only that I would prefer to have the backup deleted when I either close the saved document or close LyX. Any way to achieve this? You probably cannot do it directly from LyX, but why not you run lyx from script, which would delete backup file afterwards?

I do not know, why should this be done universally for LyX itself. As I understand LyX it is not meant to be the tool for the most stupidiest user (you know, where you find that), but Unix is collection of tools which anyone can setup to his own liking. For example, I do not want to have this done by deafult, because I think that ~/.lyx/clipart has nothing to do with my images which are somewhere else. On the other hand, you are of course welcome to do it for yourself.

Try to run lyx from xterm (which is usually good idea, when

However, these filters have disadvantages. The one that comes to mind is
the inability to translate styles. Any text marked with a style in Word
loses this marking when inported into LyX. This is a pretty big
disadvantge. After all, LyX is a text processing system that does what
you mean. Style sheets in Word are the best use of the philosophy of
what you mean. They designate certain blocks of text and allow a user
to fiddle with formatting later so you can concentrate on writing.
Shouldn't it be possible to translate styles to LaTeX
environments/commands (if necessarily ad hoc created in the
preamble of the translated document)?
Something like
\newenvironment{blocktext}{}{}
should be appropriate mask for the BlockText of Word, which could
be latter changed (in LyX) to make some meaningful change (if
necessary). And of course
\newcommand{\strong}[1]{\textbf{#1}}
could very mask ``a character style'' of Word.
Writing a translator to convert LyX to XML should also be very easy,
though I don't know when I'll have time to write one!
