Hi, I have freshly installed LyX (V 2.0.3, Ubuntu 13.04) and am working through the Tutorial. I create a new document with a few words in it. When I save it and attempt to view it I get the message Emergency stop. File ended while scanning use of \kvsetkeys. * newfile1.tex *** (job aborted, no

Strange behaviour of initials module aka drop-caps

2013-08-31 Thread John Kane
I was just playing around with LyX (2.0.6) and decided to put a drop-cap at the beginning of something I was writing and to my surprise the Short Title option is greyed out. The strange thing is that a) I got it to work fine last week, b) the examples I created last week compile just fine

Re: Problems with images during the generation of a DVI file in lyx

2013-08-31 Thread Paul A . Rubin
Was the problematic image created using the same software that created the images that work? Can you convert it to a JPG using, say, ImageMagick and, if so, does that work in the DVI output? Are there any non-ASCII characters in the file path, or any unusual (for a file path) punctuation? Paul

Question #3: LyX and LaTeX and TeX

2013-08-31 Thread Ken Springer
First, another thanks for all the replies to my thread about using LyX as a word processor. In reading some of those replies, I'm left wondering a bit about LyX and LaTeX and their relationship. As well as TeX, for that matter. When I was really into learning a bit about desktop publishing,
