Have you tried Short Titles for the offending headings?

RCS Version Control on Windows

[Ahmad Abdullah]

Hi all, 

This is my first email to this group. I generally find the
online resources as well as LyX documentation very helpful. The only exception
to this rule is when it comes to version control. It took me so much time to
know how to install RCS on Windows. I basically followed the steps given in the
LyX wiki on how to install RCS for a portable LyX installation. After I did
that, I was able to do version control easily. I have identical installations
at the PC at home and the one at work (work is windows 7 and home is windows
10). 

Now my problem is actually that I use my OneDrive to save my
LyX document. I use my OneDrive so I have access to the document both at work
and at home. So here is a typical scenario I am facing: I am at work, saved the
document on my OneDrive and then checked in all changes. After that I go back
home, the problem arises. When I open the document I saved at work with the LyX
installation at home, LyX at home doesn’t recognize the last check in that I
committed at work and I still have to check in the last change (LyX at home
says the document is not locked). So I try to check in the last change, and
then LyX complains saying that “Some error happened while ci, can’t check in
the document”. Basically what is happening I can’t check in any changes made at
home to the same RCS repo (the MyDoc.lyx,v file) I created at work, i.e.,
I have to save the document with a new name and start a new version control in
it which means I will have to lose all history in the RCS repo; a bad idea 
obviously.


My question is whether any one saw this before. What should
I do so that I can check in to same RCS repo both at home and at work without
the need to re-save the same document over and over again.

Have you tried making sure that the RCS archive is getting copied
across? If you're just transporting the lyx file then you will, of
course, not be getting the history in the archive. 

Can you find a cloud-based version control service (Github? -- I'm so
naive)? Your version control wouldn't be integrated with lyx, then, but
RCS is so old it creaks.

This is a problem with RCS, not with LyX.

If I were you, I'd set up a free git account somewhere, e.g., gitlab, 
and use that. Then you don't need OneDrive or whatever. You can push 
your changes to yout git account from home, then pull them at work, and 
vice versa.


Alternatively, if you really want to use OneDrive, then you should put 
the entire directory where your RCS repo lives on it.

Here's how I solved the problem. I changed the following:

\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\footnotesize\textsc{\textbf{\slshape\chaptername{}
\thechapter: #1}}}{}}

to the following:

\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{~~~\footnotesize\textsc{\textbf{\slshape\chaptername{}
\thechapter: #1}}}{}}

The 7 tildes (non breaking spaces) guarantee that any chaptername
header text already close to the page number will wrap, and yet shorter
stuff overwrites the page number with blanks, which is like not
overwriting it at all. None of the book's 19 chapters come close to the
chapter name text overwriting any part of the page number.

It's a hack, but it works.

In no way does this preclude me from using Liviu's suggestion of short
names. Instead, it means when I use those short names (thank you
Liviu), for clarity instead of for ultra-clarity.

Thanks,

SteveT

I would suggest that this is a good question for
http://tex.stackexchange.com/ . I'd wager you'll find there a LaTeX
expert with a solution within the day (or an already existing question
on this). I would expect this would have to do with some penalty of
sorts either from LaTeX or from fancyhdr.

No, I'd forgotten about that, thanks for reminding me.

But even so, short names would be coathangering the symptom rather than
fixing the root cause. Here's why...

If the line's long enough to wrap, this problem doesn't occur. If it's
way shorter than the space allotted, this problem doesn't occur. But if
it's in the middle, the problem occurs. What's happening is that the
text part of the header, the part that isn't the page number, is using
too wide a width to word wrap. Let me repeat: Long names aren't the
problem. Middle length names are the problem.

That's the root cause. To fix this with short names I'd need to make
the names extremely short: So short as to be confusing to the reader.

So, given that, does anyone know a way to get the text part of the
header to wrap in a smaller width, so it doesn't crash into the page
number to its left?
 
Thanks,

Sorry for the wasted time, Ahmad. Now that you made progress, could you

Are
 you saying that I can still check in and check out LyX documents using 
File/Version Control menu if I use git? I am not aware of that at all. 
If so, please point me to something that tells me how. I have heard

RE: RCS Version Control on Windows

I
 do include the whole document and its RCS repo in OneDrive, as matter 
of fact in the same folder. This is what is confusing me, if everything 
lives in the same folder, why
can't I do version control on a different PC? I have examined the MyDoc.lyx,v 
file and I don't see any trace for OS dependent variables.



Setting up a git account would be a less neat solution as I will lose the 
version control from within LyX.

Having used Debian testing for some years and LyX only a short time

gets to a certain point.

It only happens to LyX and have not been able to isolate the Debian

Provided you have a checkout from a git repo.
From lyx you can open a file which is under git control.
Then use e.g.
File->Version Control->Show History

RE: RCS Version Control on Windows

[Ahmad Abdullah]

Actually I couldn't wait the whole week to try git. I installed git on my work 
pc, created a sample LyX file then created a git repo using the git client (the 
LyX document resides in a folder in my OneDrive and the .git folder repo is 
within this folder). Once I do this and open the document in LyX, LyX detects 
the version control. I added few more lines and checked in the new document. I 
then go back home and installed git to see if I can continue checking in to the 
document. So I open the document with LyX, add few more lines and then check in 
and Voila! It works. I even can check out and compare revisions. Note that I 
don't interact with git anymore after I setup the repo. 
The limitation of this approach is that you have to set up the git repo before 
you can do version control on the document but I can live with that. It would 
be a neat solution, if LyX in future versions ships with git and enable the 
user to register the document in the background without the user leaving the 
program to create his own repo (basically a small script that calls git 
internally without the user having to interact with git directly). Anyway 
thanks you all so much specially Kornel for your help. I will definitely submit 
a wiki on that.

My typing is well ahead of the reveal of character on the screen.

Having used Debian testing for some years and LyX only a short time

gets to a certain point.

It only happens to LyX and have not been able to isolate the Debian
package that gets upgraded which creates this strange effect, but then

In this instance it cleared after a reboot today.

However, every Debian testing this slowing of keystrokes showing on the
monitor happens in LyX. A couple of testing versions ago, I recall that
it cleared and then did the same again. So twice for that testing
version? Not correctable by reboots.

I don't think it's LyX because there wasn't an actual LyX upgrade. On
another laptop, using this version of Debian testing and LyX, I expanded
the TeX files I required a couple of days ago, Monday, and it didn't
show the slowing behaviour either? It's not a big deal.

Be well,
Charlie

LyX with Liberation fonts doesn't respect the ASCII quote symbol

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I've attached minimal example files to illustrate the symptom.

For most of my life, when I needed the ascii quote symbol, like what
delineates strings in C, I just pressed Ctrl+Shift+quote, and I got
that. I still do.

But now, in the attached LyX document, when it gets converted via
either Ctrl+R within LyX, or by lyx --export pdf4, the two instances of
ascii quotes become two closing smart quotes.

If one wants to use the Liberation fonts (they're very safe from a
legal standpoint), how does one get the PDF conversion to leave ascii
quotes as ascii quotes?

Thanks,

SteveT

  From my keyboard:

   Hello Richard,

  No I do not. Just the main LyX window as usual and haven't done
  anything different on the templates I'm using. It will go away as
  Debian testing comes closer to new stable.

Thank you,
Charlie

 Not that this will assist your problem?  I'm running the  MX15 OS which is
based on Debian Jessie.  Use Lyx 2.2  often and have never seen this 
behaviour.
