Re: Labels citations
Michael Schmitt wrote: two remarks from a user's perspective: - Concerning your discussion this morning, I think it is a very nice feature that references are updated if the corresponding label is changed! I wonder if it makes sense to update references even globally within all open documents. This would be very useful for multipart documents. from my point of view it may be a feature but not an important one. you know, that I write a lot of stuff with lyx and I understand that global label controlling might be useful. but what are the real problems with labels? renaming - no deleting - might be, even though it makes no sense, because you can have so many labels as you like doublicat labels - yes, especially in big docs the last one can be controlled by latex, also by lyx when you went into the reference menu.

You need it if you work on a document with a coauthor which doesn't have LyX. this is the only reason?? Last week I had to write a largish document in raw LaTeX for precisely this reason. Anyway, there's also this related scenario: you need to make some changes to your document on somebody else's computer. You don't have LyX 1.2.x installed, so you edit the exported LaTeX. Later back home, you struggle to spot all the changes and retype them into LyX. in this case it's absolutely no problem to do it in latex, for both. again: since 1985 a lot of people tried to write converters from and to tex. all failed, especially for TeX-???, because tex is a kind of programming language, which can be enhanced just as you like it. so you don't have a fixed standard. I agree with Lars: if somebody updates reLyX, it will be great ... but a soon released 1.2.0 without any bugs is much more greater ... Herbert -- http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/

That is because the proper sulution is to make real support for
footmisc, not some hidden magical support that happens to be included
if you do something special.
my idea is to support ALL locally installed style packages.
this may be important for the user, because he never knows
what packages are on his local tex-system (647 on my own!)
my problem is, that I'm not familiar with c++. so I tried
to write at first a small shell-script to create a file with
- stylefile with full path
-- all availabe options
for example (extract from the file):
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/footmisc.sty
1 \DeclareOption{symbol}
2 \DeclareOption{symbol*}
3 \DeclareOption{para}
4 \DeclareOption{perpage}
5 \DeclareOption{bottom}
6 \DeclareOption{marginal}
7 \DeclareOption{flushmargin}
8 \DeclareOption{norule}
9 \DeclareOption{splitrule}
10 \DeclareOption{stable}
11 \DeclareOption{multiple}
with this file I'm able to make a gui for user-controlled
style-files for general use and optional buttons, so the
gui -- maybe lyx ;-) --
can insert the \usepackage[options]{stylefile} in the
preamble. I can do this with java but not with c++ ...
so it will be only for my personal use
if someone is interested in the script for further developping,
let me know. at this point there are some minor problems
with the script. maybe that this idea is the whole nonsense
because it's only three days old, than let it be ... :-)

math bug in cvs
1.1.6fix3:
in an equnarray you can delete the lower right cell.
the formula than looks like
\begin_inset Formula \begin{eqnarray*}
11 21 31\\
21 22 23\\
31 32 - missing cell!
\end{eqnarray*}
\end_inset
in 1.1.6 this doesn't matter, the lyxfile is always
read well.
reading this formula with 1.2.0 gives always the message
that the file may be corrupted (truncated).
so far so good, but lyx ignores all the text behind
this formula.
I suppose, that \end_inset is not a real delimiter
for parsing formulas.

But that's no well formed LaTeX, even if 1.1.6 allows you to create such
beasts.
sure! but it was lyx which allowed the user to do that!
and btw: it's no problem to run this with latex! means
it's allowed latex stuff ...
It would be pretty difficult to parse bad input, given that it's already a
pain to parse correct input...
this is another question. why do you have environments
\begin_inset TYPE
\end_inset
when you never stop parsing TYPE with reaching \end_inset???
I suppose, that \end_inset is not a real delimiter
for parsing formulas.
It is not. Actually, it does not even fit well into the scheme, since it
contains an underscore which is usually not allowed in latex macro names...
I don't know if I understand well: you mean, that all
lyx1.1.6 and older files can't be read with 1.2.0 when
they have this little unimportant bug in a formula

Hmm... can you raise this question in the tex news group?
(comp.text.tex)
I don't think that there is something that can be asked there.
It is clear that these two commands have different effect.
However, since we need to maintain compatibility with 1.1.6, we need to use
\centering (or to redefine the center environment, but this is not a good
idea as the user might have used it in ERT).
in figures/tables a.s.o always centering is the best choice!
than the caption is nearer to the figure/table ...
for centered paragraphs the environment is often used!
because the additional vertical space makes sense.

the last one is the better one. there are several things

Yes, the bibtex parser is really simple. It'll be confused here by your NOTE
I think.
I've been experimenting with running BibTeX on the .bib file and parsing the
(far simpler and always correct) .bbl file instead. Works a treat. Moreover,
I can use the same .bst BibTeX style file as the document so we really end up
with WYSIWYM.
This is a bug, therefore, that won't be fixed. Don't bother to put it into
your buglist.
I think no bug!
from my point of view not a correct citation form:
should be
NOTE = {{Special Issue: } ProcOfThe {Eighth International
Conference of Computing and Information (ICCI'96)}},
I had not too much experience with bibtex, so I can't really say why it
should not be. anyway, this works.
it's another question why the parser struggles in fact of the
#-characters.

you can now insert db-infinity databases separated by ','

browse should be replaced by add and delete buttons and the
bibtex files should be listed in separate lines
let the users speak. I for myself never worked with different databases.
I prefer a big one.
Is it a problem to delete a database with backspace or add a new
one with browse? if you have an add_button, you do the same: insert it
by hand or browse ... so you have one more button for the same thing.

A marginpar, like a footnote or an index entry, is meant to refer to the
preceding word. No?
no, as far as i know to the line of the \marginpar command.
but it always works when it is near to the preceeding

ERT
to get rid of the problems with the ERT inset I wrote a
new LaTeX GUI, it's just the same than the preamble one
and supports also cut and paste from and to the lyx-main
window.
The idea was, that ERT has nothing to do with the paragraph
parameters from lyx, because it should be plain ascii text.
It's now the same than the other insets, for example:
snip
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ERT{\begin{center}
\begin{pspicture}(-4,0)(4,8)
%\psset{xunit=0.25cm,yunit=0.25cm}
\psgrid[subgriddiv=1,griddots=10,gridlabels=7pt](-4,-0.5)(4,8)
\psline[linewidth=1pt]{-}(-4,0)(+4,0)
\psline[linewidth=1pt]{-}(0,-0.5)(0,8)
\psplot[plotstyle=curve,linewidth=1.5pt]{-4}{0.9}{10 x exp}% postscript
function
\rput[l](1,7.5){$10^x$}
\psplot[plotstyle=curve,linewidth=1.5pt]{-4}{3}{2 x exp}% postscript
function
\rput[l](2.2,7.5){$e^x$}
\psplot[plotstyle=curve,linewidth=1.5pt]{-4}{2.05}{2.7183 x exp}%
postscript function
\rput[l](3.2,7.5){$2^x$}
\end{pspicture}
\end{center}
}
\end_inset
-snip
In the lyx text you have a button like the one from ert.
maybe that's interesting, so that ert-bug-hunting may be
have an end ...
the new ert is under insetcommand control and has the
structure \ERT{ --- text ---}.
