Richard and Paul,

   Thank you for this discussion and the 
detailed reporting.

Have been thinking about wrapping, without actually doing anything.
Now I know what to do.

Re: macOS Sierra

So, I did the upgrade, and as you said, everything works fine. Even the 
BIBINPUT environment variable is fine. I guess Sierra really was a minor update 
that did not change the interior workings of OS X.

My file is now working well with wrapfig placed at the beginning of the
paragraph.

After fiddling around with it for a while, I find that bolding is not
relevant to the errors I experienced.

Yes, this was the main thing that was hanging me up.

Even after I'd corrected the left justification to paragraph's default, the
output was still wonky---the figure appeared in the correct location, but
the text wouldn't move around it and stayed under the figure. Finally, I
tried throwing away the old test file and making a new one from scratch.
The new test file worked perfectly well. I've noticed that it's not all
that rare for LyX files to get strangely corrupted. Even if all the
settings are correct, they just won't run, and you have to paste the
content into a new file to get it to work.

Thanks again for your help.

Anders Host-Madsen.
Yes. The originator, Lars, decided he'd had enough and announced plans 
to shut down the site (but make the backups and software available to 
anyone willing to take it over). Someone did in fact decide to do so, 
and they are in the process of rebuilding the site, a bit at a time. 
Some Google links to old LyX messages still work, but when I last 
looked, we were still not in the site table of contents. My 
understanding is that eventually we will be. Archives will presumably be 
remounted, but I have no idea whether traffic between when the original 
site went down and whenever we are added back is being captured.

Richard,

I'm copying the user list on this, to keep the discussion visible to others.

Thanks for the improved example. There are two things I think you should 
change in it if you need to repost it later for some reason. First, the 
file path for the image refers to a subdirectory. Since the downloaded 
image will be in the same directory as the downloaded LyX file, that 
will need to be changed.


Second, you have the image at the start of the paragraph. I cannot find 
any way to trigger wrapping there (which may just be my lack of 
familiarity with the finer points of wrapfig). If I put it somewhere in 
the interior of the paragraph, I can get it to wrap, so you might want 
to move it there. When you move the figure into the body of the 
paragraph, you need to make sure it is not included in the bold faced 
section; if it is, spacing will be screwed up. The trick is to reset the 
series for all the text to the default, insert the figure where you want 
it, then select the preceding text, bold it, select the following text, 
and bold that.


With all that done, the image still pops to the bottom of the page, 
apparently because the text is left-justified. If you change the 
paragraph to default justification, wrapping works. As I said, I'm no 
expert on wrapfig, so I don't know whether it is compatible with 
non-default text justification. A Google search was not helpful in that 
regard. Looking at the LaTeX source generated by LyX, I see no problems, 
so I suspect this is an issue with wrapfig.

Re: macOS Sierra

[Anders Host-Madsen]

Thanks. Then perhaps I will update.
One thing that breaks for me every time I update is setting the BIBINPUTS path. 
Every time Apple updates, they put some restrictions in the UNIX shell that 
breaks the previous work around. For El Capitain I had to make a applescript 
that runs at startup. Hopefully that will still work.

Has anyone tried LyX on MacOS Sierra? Any issues?

Gmane interface down?

[Anders Host-Madsen]

Hi all,
It seems I cannot access the lyx lists through the gmane interface anymore. Is 
that a general problem?
