I think that you are referring to math (instant) preview. I have a similar setup (the only difference is that I am using what it will be Fedora 41). I will look into this still this month, hopefully before 2.4.2 is released. Sometimes the preview works and others it does not. I need to look carefully on what is going on.

I was curious about this. I had already forgot that this was introduced in 2.4. :-) I searched in the lyx repository and I found that the Additional manual in French had this: $ grep -r spellchecker_ignore ... lib/doc/fr/Additional.lyx:\spellchecker_ignore french preprint ... When I open this file, search for preprint and select the word I do not get the option to remove from the document dictionary using the context menu.

I can do it if I type \Romannum{4} outside of math and convert it to
math mode (Alt m + m).
In the math mode the macro argument is represented as a nested block.

But then you should be comfortable dealing with the related issues: Copy the lyx2lyx directory from the newer version. Case in point. I have the same issue on Fedora.

If you insert the tikz code inside a preview box the figure will be
shown immediately, if you click over it you will see the code.
The preview box can be inserted in the same way as the tex code:
Insert -> TeX Code
Insert -> Preview
You are still responsible for adding the correct tikz code...

Hi Wolfgang,
have you tried the ideas/tips given in Customization Manual, Chapter 6
Including External Material?
This can be found in
Help -> Customization
I remember a similar discussion several years ago regarding gnuplot figures and
I remember to have seen some basic templates.
The only reason for them not to be accepted in LyX is the absence of a safe
mode. It is possible to use the system to pass 'cd ~; rm -rf *'.
For personal use it is OK.
I hope this helps. Regards,

We still have control of what we output. The argument regarding the readability of xml reminds of lots of code that I see on blogs or any other pages. When I am reading code I expect it to have a proper indentation, and if possible to be colored, with enough white spaces and new lines so that the structure emerges just from reading the code. Just because some code is legal from a language perspective it does not mean that we should use it. The same should happen for the lyx file format. If we go xml I expect that one of our goals is that output lyx file is friendly towards a line oriented analysis, I expect that it remains easy for us to diff two lyx files. The purpose of converting lyx to xml is to add other conveniences. For example, now how do you decide that a lyx files is well constructed? Is it to expect that it does not crash lyx? That a roundtrip from loading and saving the file gives the same output? Summarizing: if we go with xml the purpose is not to waste all the knowledge that we had accumulated in the last 17 years but to build over it. -- José Matos

Search for docbook methods, you will see them near xhtml methods. Usually this is a good place to start. As an example every insert has an export method.

Re: headers with fancy option are repeated beyond TOC

The best advice is probably to read the fancy headings documentation. :-)
With that said when I use koma-script I defined the headings for normal
pages and also for "empty" style pages by enclosing the definition on
\fancypagestyle .
Something like:
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
}
I am not sure if this helps but here you have my 0.02€. :-)

I am not sure if I can help but here it goes. :-) There is a new version of texlive, version 2011 as it can be seen at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive in order to install it for Fedora 15 you need to install as root: # rpm -i http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/packages.f15/texlive-release.noarch.rpm The advantage of this approach is that it gives the most recent texlive version.

Because after 20 years you find that some of your initial choices are sub-optimal and are dragging other features. One of the most obvious examples is the real division. Until python 2.x we have that 3/2 -> 1 (integer division) 3./2 -> 1.5 while in python 3 we have that 3/2 -> 1.5 3.//2 -> 1.0 (integer division for general numbers) It would be impossible to do this change without breaking compatibility and it was precisely that the purpose of python 3, to be an once in a long time event where backwards compatibility is broken. -- José Matos

No need to change it, your use case is reasonable.
I suspect that if you remove the quotes (") around false the script will work.
